been thrown open, and the fresh, cool air
of the spring night struggled for mastery
with the close, tobacco laden atmosphere
which filled the large hall. The members
of the society to which I at this time be-

could suddenly become gray in conse-
quence of a violent shock to the mind.

sufficiently scathing in the remarks they
made concerning people who were simple
enough to place any credence in such
nursery tales.

warmer until every member of our party
was engaged either in ~championing or
combating the question in point, a man
seated near us arose slowly, pushing his
chair from him, and approached our table.
