his precociousness early in our Fresh
man year by writing the following
character sketch and description of
his classmate, Hook: "He sits very
close to me in school, a tall slender
lad of sixteen summers. His hair is
of dark auburn hue. His spotless
collar is surrounded by a white tie.
with green polka-dots. He is a hum
orous sort of an individual, of quiet
disposition. He is quite a favorite
with young ladies here and elsewhere.
A great prominence is situated on the
front of his face, which he calls a
nose, but D. Frank Redd says it is
only cartilage. His feet are not mates
but are of the IL double variety. His
suit is OF salt and pepper color.
The coat buttons down the front and
has two sleeves. His trousers extend
down to the tops of his shoes. His
fair complexion is disturbed only by
a few brown freckles. A very neigh

CHAPTER II.

The Rev. Cyrus Dane had been many
years rector of Little Wilton; at his
death, Mr.. Baumgarten was appointed
Mrs. Dane was left with very slender
provision, derived from an annuity. Her
husband had been quite unable to save
money. The needs of his parish, the
education of his two daughters, and the
expenses of living had utterly absorbed
his stipend, and kept him sadly poor
SO poor that the necessary repairs of
the rectory from year to year had never
been attended to- and when he died it
was in a woeful state of dilapidation.
The eldest of his daughters, Charlotte
had married George Brice, nephew of
Brice the surgeon; he was the junior
partner in a shipping house and lived in
London.
When Mr.. Baumgarten arrived to take
possession 1f his new living, he found
the rectory perfectly uninhabitable. Mrs.
Dane had moved out Of it to Wilton
Cottage and 1t was arranged that he
should take up his residence with her,
paying a certain sum for his board. 1t
was comfortable arrangement for the
young clergyman, and it was help to
Mrs. Dane. He had not the means to
put the rectory into repair, and was
told that he must go upon the late rec
tors widow to do 1t; that she was liable,
as in fact she was. But Mr.. Baumgar-
ten could not and would not do that.
She had not the means to restore it any
