THOMPSON did not rise tin the last, and,
of course this attracted notice 10 him,
msa some thought his not rising at

fr..elditas were stern, like some school
master who had before him lot OF

concealed somewhere among them. But
his features relaxed when Mr. Thompson
made his disclaimer. and he seemed
pleased TO know that he had been misih-
