TO ever n partial restoration of close

fact that. during the interval OF fifteen
months between his discharge from the
regular army and his reception OF an
appointment TO cadetship he rarei!
made any use Of the room which he
had occupied in tho Allan mansion be-
fore leaving for the university. The
greater portion OF this interval had
been passed elsewhere. and at dis

Was this due to the estrangement
which had occurred previous TO the
enlistment in the army. or had the
which had happened since? In a letter
which the second Mrs. Allan wrote

her death, she asserts speGiiicalli. that
