center had been literally Smashed
against tho toeth by Corboits blows
and the raw tissues wore bnlged out
and rolled by the fever and tho swelling

In maudlln voice Of his downfall.
To spread forth all Sullivan said
would ediiy no one, and only render
more pihnble the plight Of the man
who through twelve years has been
worshippod 10y the Hstio world.
