at his own gate had need of all his

was making bis way as journalist in

young man had any response to give.
But he appeared to have none. Either
he was as ignorant as themselves of
the causes which had led to his IA

traits of his admirable character.
All of which closed inquiry in this
direction, but left the nav Of curl
