So particular man as the judge
would soon find himself too uncom-
Portable to endure the lack of those
attentions which he had been used to

for clean sheets, and sometimes she
had found herself wondering, with a
strange shrinking of her heart, if his
bed was ever made, or whether he had
not been driven at times to lie down in

much amazed at it's condition. In
some respects it looked as decent as
she could expect, but in the matter Of

aspect somewhat startling The

served as such.
