to pick him up on the street an hour
later. The man gave his name as Al

denied raising the check and said he
did not know how the eighty dollars
came on the paper.

And tinged with amber was the sky

The fleecy clouds at length had rolled
away,
And lay in burrows on the eastern

Tho morning came, the dreary morn,

And showed the whitened waste. The
shivering herd.
Lowed on the hoary meadow ground,
and fast
Fell the light flakes upon the earth

The gaunt trees with glittering snow

Stood like hoar priests in white ar
