MIA PAVVRE PETITE.
The lamps glow within,the storm raves with
out,
1 sit at mine ease In the softened light,
And think of Ginerva ; she seemed so do
vout,.
I wonder if ever the shade of a doubt,
Crossed the mind of her lord ere that night.
look at the bubbles that dance and swim
On the amber wine, like an elfin band,
And I dream of the past, while my eyds grow
dim,
As I carelessly kiss with my lips the rim
Of the antique glass in my band.
A rustle of garments, a step in the hall,
And my princess comes in her queenly
grace,
The grim Rembrandt smiles in his frame on
the wall,
When those fairy feet on the earpet fall,
As she takes by my side her place.
I am dreaming perchance, yet I know she is
there,
On my forehead I feel for a moment her
kiss,
A subtle something is in the air,
An olive face with its dark brown hair—
But 'tie folly to speak of all this.
She duds in her charming womanly - way,
And 1 listen, or seem to listen, the while ;
Somehow vaguely at length I hear her any,
"A hit of romance or the plot of a play,
If only one blithe bonny bird to beguile."
A story you ask for ; well, so let It be ;
Let me think—twenty years have gone by
to a day,
How swiftly the summers have down since
we,
Two lads, in that quaint old town by the sea,
Idled and trifled the summer away.
We were scarcely nineteen—how the holi
days flew,
Two naval cadets—off duty, on shore ;
We did, I suppose, just as most middies do,
Squandered our pay in a 'mad lark or two,
Then starveil to make up the score.
Tom was my hero, I thought him divine—
He's an admiral now—won his stars at
Mobile—
The veriest old sea-dog, they say, in the line,
Washes his face every morning In brine,
And swears that he'll have on his coffin a
keel.
We lodged In an attic just off from the park—
In a mocking mood we called it a den—
If 1 rightly remember, the square in SL
- Mark ;
Houses on either side dingy and dark,
We would smile at it now—it suited us
then.
For a neighbor we had—it is strange, I de
clare,
I can see him now in,his singular guise—
A French emigre, with his silver hair,
Anc his broken speech, and port nulitaire,
And his wan little girl with her hungry
eyes.
Owe or twice only we met on the street,
All further advances seemed somehow in
vain,
But morning and night we heard him re
peat.
"Ma patters petite, ma pawns petits."
Till our hearts caught up the retrain.
Said Tom, in his old impetuous way,
"Let's give them a sail in the yacht., my
boy,
For the wind is a trifle fresh to-day,
And who - knows, poor things, but a taste of
salt spray
Might change all their sorrows to joy."
In less than an hour, with eight or ten more,
We had them on board of our staunch little
craft,
The sails were all set, we standing off shore,
While the spray from the white imps was dy
ing bdore,
And the wind followed hard abaft.
Just how it all happened, we never could tell
The child leaned on the rail by her grand
papa's side,
Our weather-bow musfhave been caught by
the swell,
For there came a lurch and a cry, and ®be
fell—
And something white floated off on the
tide.
Tom, had the helm, in an instant be swung
And brought her to in the eye of the gale,
Two men were over, one old and one young,
But young arma.are lusty, not likely to fail,
And bow does my blithe bonny bird like
the tale?
Whatl—yon - wish to hear more of the old
emigre?
Not satisfied yet ?—it seems incomplete ?
Well, liiok in my eyes, don't you see, Mere
amit,
I—l was the lad who leaped into the sea,
And von—you were ma pauerepetfte.
Astected ffitotl.
•'LITTLE /OE."
Tom Wise, a great big, handsome fel
low, with a heart of the RIOT?. order, was
standing, at the corner talking to a friend.
He held a cigar to his mouth with hie
lett band, ,and with, his right, had just
struck a match against the lamppost.,
when at—or rattier under—hie elbow a
voice exclaimed cueerily, "Busted again,
Mae' Tom!".
Tom_threw a glance over his shoulder,
and there stood "Little Joe," a small mis
shaped negro, about fifteen years old,with
crutches under his arms, and feet twisted
all out of shape. his toes barely touching
the zround as he hobbled alou;. He had
on an old straw hat with only a hint of
brim. There must be some law of cohe—
sive attraction between straw and wocd,
for little Joe's cranium, was, large, while
the hat was small and set back nearer the
nap of his neck they the crown of his
head, yet held its place. like s natural
excresence or a horrible .bore. Joe had
met with very : few peOple mean enough
to laugh at him, for, though he - p?al,irsavil
all the brightness' and cheerfulness end
pluck of deformed Pehitie getierally,there
was a Wistful Idols about his eyes, which
his want of bright 'soil his position on
crutches intensified (indeed created) by
keeping, then" upturned.,while talking
with any one taller - than ' hitnSelf, and
this is.genenslly the case, for there were
no grown people so small as liitlejoe.--
His shirt- was torn_ and- his pantaloons
rugged, but to gild 'these faded colors he
" Stand by the Right though the Heavens .fh11:"
wore a swallowtailed coat with brass but•
tons, which some one had given. him,
whether from a sense of humor or a sen—
timent 01 charity, let the gods decide.
• "Busted again, bias' Toni
"What •busted' you this time, Joe ?"
asked Mr. Wise.
"Lumber, Mas' Tom, I was in de lum
ber bizniss las' week, buyin ole shingles
an' sellin"em for kindlin' but my par&
ner he naked a run an de bank —leas'
ways on my breeches pocket—an' den
runred away hisself. Ain't you gwine
to set me up agin, Mas' Tom ?"
"What business are you going into this
week ?"
"Feekshunnery," replied Joe, taking
the quarter Mr. Wise handed him. "DWII
do to buy the goods, but 'twont rent de
sto', Mas"Forn."
"What store ?" asked Mr. \Vise
"Dat big stu' Hunt an' Munson is jus'
moved outin. Mr. Munson say I may
hab it for sebben hundred dollars el you
go my skoorty."
Tom • laughed : "Well, Joe, I was
thinking I wouldn't go security for any
body this week. Don't you think you
can do business on a smaller scale?"
Joe's countenance fell, and he suffered
visibly, but a cheering thought presently
struck him, and he exclaimed disdain
fully :
"Anyhow, I ain't a—keerjng 'bout Hunt
an' Munson's old sto'—der ole sebben
hundred dollar sto! I can git a goods
box and turn it upside down. an' stan' it
up by de capitol groun's, an' more folks'll
pass 'long an' buy goobers den would
come in dat old sto' all the year. Dey
ain't spitin' me."
As Joe limped off to invest his money,
his poor little legs swinging and his swal
low tails flapping, Tom's ft iend asked who
he was.
"Belonged to us before the war," said
Tom. "Poor little devil! the good LOrd
and the birds of the etr seem to take care
of him. I set him up in business with
twenty-five cents every week, and looked
after him a little in other ways. Some—
times he buys matches and newspapers,
and sells them again; sometimes he buys
ginger cakes and eats them all ; but he
is lava] iably 'busted,' as he calls it, by Sat
urday night—Joe! o-oh, Joe!"
Joe looked back and with perfect in
difference to the fact that he was detain
ing Mr. Wise, answered that he would
“he dar terectly,” continuing his negotia
tions for an empty goods box lying at
the door of a neighboring dry goods store.
"What you want, Mas' Tom ?" he asked
on his return. "Miss Mollie is going to
be. married week after next, Joe, and you
may come np to the house if you like.—
was afraid I might forget it,
'Whoop you, sir! Ttiuuky, Mae' Tom.
I bowl' to see Miss Mollie step off de oar
pit. But, Lord a mussy! dem new nig—
gem you all got ain't gwine to lemme
-Come to the front door and ask for
me. Cut out now,anil don't get busted this
week, because I shall need all my money
to buy a breastpin to wait on my sister
in. Come, John, let's register."
Joe ' s glance followed Mr. Wise and his
friend till they were out of sight; then
he turned and paused no more till he
reached an out-of-the way grocery store,
in the window of which were displayed
sampl-s of fish and soap and calico and
kerosene lamps and dreadful brass jewelry
among which was a frightful brerscpin
in the Shape of,.a cresent set with red and
green glass, and further ornamented by
a chain of the most atrocious descrip
tion eoliceiveable. Before this thing of
beauty, which to hint had been a joy
for weeks, Joe paused and lingered, and
smote his little breast and shighed of
poverty. Then he went in. "What
moot he de price o' dat gent's pin in de
corner oh der winder ?" he inquired.
"I don't see any gent in the corner of
the window," said the proprieter of the
store.
Joe took the mild pleasantry, and in:
quitting "what moot be de price o' dat
pin ?" was told that it might he anything
—fr ,, m nothing up—but it could go for
seventy five cents.
He. stood Liman outside of the window
looking sadly and reflectively at the at—
tractive bijou, then seated himself on
the curbstone, his crutches resting in the
gutter, and thougtfully BMett thed be•
twe• n his finger and thumb the twenty.
live cut tote Mr. Wise had given him.—

Then little Joe bestirred himself, and
obtaining the assistance of 4 friend,lsok
his dry good box up to capitol square.—
There he turned it upside down, spread
a newspaper over the top, and proceeded
to die display his wares.
A pyratniil of apples stood in one cor—
ner; a small stock of pepermint candy
was its vts a-via; a tin) glass of peanuts
graced the third, and was confronted by
a lemoti that had awnNlife, and was more
Fere than yellow. But the crowning glory
was the centre-piece—an unhappy—look
pie of visage pale and thin physique, yet
how beautiful to Joe! He stepped back
on his crutches, turning his head from
side to side ache surveyed the effect; took
op a locust branch he had brought with
him to brush away the flies, and - , leaning
against the iron railing, with' calm dig—
iiity awaited coming events.
His glance fell on the figure of a ne.
gro boy, who gazed with longing eyes
upon the dellicacieti of his table, and it
was With 'a strange feeling of kinship
that little Joe continued to regard- the
new comer for he too had been :branded
by Misfortune. He appeared about Joe's
age. and-would be taller but that lila legs
had been - amputated nearly up to the
knee, and as he stood on the • pitiful :
stumps,, supported by a short cane. iri one
band, his head illha hardly as high its the
iron railing. He had none -of Joe's
hrightneijs, hut looked ragged andAirty
and litingry, and evidently had no- .Mass'

of the air to take care of him. His skin
• -as of adulltishem -hue, and- the short
wool which: hung close to . his scalp- was
stalbgrat.tait was red - and crisp, and
formed a curious contrast to his black
face. One arm was bare, only the ragged
remains of a sleeve hanging over the
shoulder. and it seemed no great misfor•
tune that Isis legs had been shortened,
for he had hardly pan talooas enongn to
cover what he had left.
He looked at the pie, and Joe looked
at him. Presedtly the latter enquired
seriously. "Whar yo' legs ?"
"Cut off,' was the answer.
"How come y cut; off?"
"Feet was frost bit; like to kill me."
"What yo' name ?" asked Joe.
"Kiah.'
"What were yo' ole mas' name ?"
"Didn't have no ole roue."
"Was you a natchnl free nigger ?"
"Dunno what you mean," said Kiah.
"Fore we was all. tot free," explained
Little Joe. "Was you burn a ole mas' an

"Erve," - said Mob, thus placing him—
self, as every southerner knows, under
the ban of Joe's contempt. "Umph, my
Lor' dat sholy do smell good 1"
"You lookhungry," said Joe gravely.
"I is,' said Kiah, "hungry as a dog I"
Joe stepped to the table, took up a
runty old pocket knife, and cutting out a
pied of the pie banded it to Kiah. Kiah
bit off a point of a triangle, with his eyes
fixed on Joe as if in doubt whether he
would be allowed CO proceed, but finding
that his liberty was not resented, eagerly
devoured the remainder, drew his coat
sleeve across his mouth, and said
"Thanky."
c"mmenced
And thus their friendship
It was very touching and beautiful,
this attachment which was formed be—
tween these two unfortunate creatures.—
Neither could perform the labor or join
in the sports incident to his age, and they
seemed drawn together by the attraction
of a common misery. Every day some
'ltd.! service, pitiful in its insignificance
except to themselves, some little humble
office from one to the other, some little
act of self-denial perhaps the saving of
a few cold potatoes that had been given
to Riah or the sacrifice of a buttered roll
that Joe had got at Mr. Vise's, every
day some little thing served to cement
this friendship which gave to each a 091113•
panion who did not mortify him ; and
they became inseperareable, Joe taking
Kiah to the little shed where he spent
his nights, aul making him an equal
partner in business during the day.
The next time Joe come to be set up
he gave Mr. Wise a knowing wink and
said mysteriously; "Don't you go buyin
no bree'pin to w'ar to de weddin,' Dias
Turn.'
'Why not. Joe ?'
"Cos ain't no use in two bres,pins, an'
dar ain't no tellin' what moot happen
'fore dat.weddin, come oft.'
Mr. Wise laughed, but he had no pre—
mon tion that Joe had entered into a suc
cessful negotiation for the grocer's execra
ble crescent and the shock was therefore
uthroken when on the evening of the
marriage Joe entered his dressing room
and presented it to him with an air of
pride so pitiful that it would have made
a woman cry.
Tom was fully as much surprised as
Joe had anticipated, and effected to be as
ereatly delighted ; and when he had com
pleted his toilet of faultlessly . quiet tone
he pinned the horrible thing in his shirt
bosom and thanked Little Joe foe the
gift with all the gracious courtesy of his
tine nature.
Mr. Wise was to "stand" with a
friend of his sister's who was a guest iu
the house, and, as they fancied them
del yes very much in love with each other
they had agreed to meet in the parlor an
hour before that appointed for the cere
mony, that they might enjoy a quiet tete
a•tete beforothe assembling of the guests
Having finished his toilet he accordingly
went down and was Boon joined by the lady.
They promenaded up and down the par
lors, and again and again her eyes rested
curiously on the pin, but she made no al
lusion to it till her feelings had becilme
entirely irrepressible, when she interrupt•
ed him in the middle of a sentence to en
quire what on earth it was, and where he
got it, and why he wore it.
Then he sat down by her side, with
lace curtains shimmering in the twilight
and mirrros reflecting alabaster vases and
oil paintings, and the air heavy with the
perfume of flowers, and told her about
Little Joe—of his shapeless feet and for.
loin life, Iris empty pocket and gratetul
heart. And ehe agreed that it must be
dreadful to be so poor and deformed, and
all that, and of course he ought to be
grateful, bat really she thought Mr. Wise
rather morbid in his philanthropy when
he could , wear that brass won before
five hundred people only to please a de—
formed negro.
'Perhaps you do lint understand,' said
Tom. gently, 'that I have given Joe per—
mission to witness the ceremony (I be
lieve I told you that he was the personal
property of my mother, and a favorite
with her,) and he will certainly know
whether I wear this pin that he worked
for, and gone in debt for, and probably
starved himself for. Will there be any
one here—save yourself—whose laugh I
dread enough to induce me to mortify
and disappoint him?'
"It will make us ridiculous," said she,
haughtily.
Tom quietly unfastened the pin and
placed it in his vest pocket, and with it
disappeared Miss Anna's prospect of be—
coming Mrs. Wise, enviable as she deem—
ed the position.
"1 have no right, to include you in my
sacrifice, if sacrifice there be,' said be,
with grave courteshand referred no more
to the matter ; but as soon as be conld,he
sought his sister and requested that the
honor of standing with Miss Anna
might be conferred upon Mr. Marshall
- ant that he himself be allowed to take
Mr. Mashall'e partner, she by ing a lift
girl on whose pluck and good nature he
'could alike rely. His sister' bad no time
to enter into particulars, but made the
desired ch tuge, and: Mr. Wise said to
Miss Emily, "I could not. sacrifice Joe,
.Miss Emily, nor sacrifice you. so I have
.sacrificed myself, and am a volunteer in
the noble army of martyrs.''
When, however, as the bridal cortege
passed through the • hall, he saw Joe
nudges fellow servant with his elbow
and' point out Ihe pin, he felt repaid,
though Miss Anna wiliolding her head
very high , indeed.
The,neitt morning Joe‘ came by the
.."Wliat'did do fojko say 'bout:'yo

'Say ? Why they did not know what.
to say, Joe. They could not take their
eyes off me. That pin knocked the black
out of ,verythiug there. The bridegroom
couldn't hold a candle to me," said Mr.
Wise ; and Joe laughed loud with de—
light.
"I)id they give von any supper ?"
"Did did, Mas' Tom ; and I tnk home
a snow-ball an' a orange to Kalb."
Late on the evening of the same day
Mr. Wise was about leaving his office
when he heard little Joe's crutches in the
doorway and little Joe himself appeared,
sobbing bitterly, tears streaming down
his face : "Oh, Lordy, Mate Tom I oh
Lordy !"
"What is the matter, Joe r
"Oh, Lordy, Dias' Tom ! Kiah's done
gone I"
_
"Klub ! is it possible I What was th'
matter ?" asked Tom.
"Oh, Lordy, oh, Lindy!" sobbed 'little
Joe. "Me an' him went down to de creek
an' was playin' baptizin', an' I'd done

was jes gwtne to baptize me, an' he step—
ped out too fur, rn' his legs was so short
he lost his holt on me, an drowned ; an'
I couldn't ketch him cos I•couldn't start'
without within' to hold on to. Oh, Lor—
dy I I wish I nevvar had a' hoard o' bap

till Kialt w•as done drowned."
'I am sorry for you ; I wish I had been
there. Rut, as fu as Klub is concerned,
he is better off than he was before,' said
Tom.
'No, he ain't, Mae' Torn, leas' ways
Kiah don't think so lusself cos of he had
a wanted to die he could have done it,
long and merry ago. t don't believe in
no such fool talk as dead folks beiie bet—
ter off dun they was befo' ?'
Torn was silent, and Joe went on with
renewed tears. I come up to ax you to
gimme a c'ean shirt an a par ob wraw's
to put on Kiuh. Yon needn't gimme no
socks, cos he ain't got no feet. Oh.Lordy.
oh, Lordy !' sobbed Joe, 'es Inc an' Kiah
had jes had feet like some folks,Kiah
wouldn't have - been drowned.'
'rake this up to the house,' said Tom
handing him a note, 'and Miss Molly will
give you whatever you want.'
'Thanky, sir, I know you han't got no
goffin handy,but you can gimme de mon
ey an' I can git one. I don't reckon it
will take much, cos Kiah .won't big.'
Then Turn wrote a note for the under—
taker, and directed Joe what to do with
it.
The nest day was cold,dark, and rainy,
and the paupers' hearse that conveyed
Binh to the graveyard was driven so fast
that poor little Joe, tho only mourner,
could hardly keep up as he hopped along
ou his crutches.
The blast grew keener and the mist
heavier, and before Kiel' was buried out
of sight the rain was billing in torrents
that drenched the poor little cripple sob—
bing beside the grave, and the driver of
the hearse, a good hearted Irishman, said
to him : wid ye, or get up here by
me, au' ye're mind to. I'll take ye back.'
But Joe shook his head, and prepared
to hop back as he had hopped ont. 'Than
kee, sir, but I had rather walk. I feels
like I would be gittiu' a ride out of Ki
101'8 funeral.
The wind blew open his huttonless
shift, and thv rain beat heavily on his
loyal breast, but he struggli-d against
the storm, and paused only once on his
way home. That was beside the goods
box that he and Kiath had for a stall,—
Noiw it was drenched with rain and the
sides bespattered with mud, and the
newspaper that had served for a cloth
had blown over one corner and was soak
ed and torn,but clung to its old compan
ion, though tile wind tried to tear it away
and the rain to heat it down. Little Joe
stood neside it a minute and cried harder
than ever.
For several days Joe drooped and shiv
ered and refused to eat, and at length
sent for Tom, but be was out of town,
and did not retui n for a week.; and the
first thing he did was to visit little Joe,
he came tno lltte,for Joe would never rise
again from the straw pallet on which he
lay, nor use the crutches that now scoot'
idle in the corner.
His eyes opened and he smiled faintly
as Torn entered, like a breath of fresh
air—so strong and fresh and irigorons
that it made one fee/ better °nix. to be
•
near him.
The little cripple paused to gather up
his strength ; t. en he said : 'Basted
agin, Dias' Tom, and you can't nuvver
sot me up no mo.'
'Oh, stuff j Dr. North can, if I can't.
Wby didn't you send for him whet► you
found I was. away r

it.
Turning to the woman with whom Joe
lived, "And why Cie d-1 didn't you do
it ?' said Tom angrily.

Nanny. What is I done to him P I didn't

'Ef you -don't take keer, you'll be too

Nancy, 'but you better be a tryin' to open

Piping the words out slowly and pain

HOW TO AVOID TAKING COLD
A cold is simply a developer of a diseased
condition, which may have been latent or re
quiring only some savoring condition to burst
out into the flame of disease. When the hu
man body Is at its prime—kvith youth, vigor,
purity and a good constitution on its side—no
degree or ordinary exposure to cold gives, rise
to any unpleasant effects. All the ordinary
precautions against coughs, colds and' rheumat
ic pains may be disregarded,'and no 11l effeets
ensue. But let the blood bo impure, let the
body become deranged from any disorder, or
let the vigor beginjo wane, and the infirmities
of age be felt by occasional deraugemente in
some vital part, either from inherited or acquir
ed abuses, and the action of cold will excite
more or less disorder of some kind.
It follows from these facts and considerations
that the secret of avoiding unpleasant cense
quences thought to spring wholly from thenc
that of cold upon the body has very little de
pendence upon an impure and weak condition'
of ail vital processes. in other words, With an
ordinary, or superior constitution,:and an intel
ligent observance of laws of health, men and
women could not take cold U they wanted to ;
they might be exposed to the action of cold to
a degree equal to the beasts of , the field,; and
with like impunity But lathe case of persons
with feeble constitutions, and who disregard,
knowingly or otherwise, the. conditions of
healthy existence, no degree of care will pre
vent taking cold, as It is termed. They may
live in houses regulated with all the percision
of a hot bouse,they may cover thernielves 'whit
the most highly protective clotbing,the market
provides, and yet will take' Cold: I do not
think the consumptive person Ryes, or ever will
live, even if kept in a temperature absolutely
uniform and clothed in a wholly fanltles.s man
ner, in whom the well-known Sign of one cold
after another will not'be apparent, - 13at,o'n the
other hand, there are those wh6, gOnd • con
stitutions and living in accordance with' the
laws of health may travel from the tropics to
the artics again and again, clatLonly in an or
dinary dress coat, and yet scarcer know what
it is to have a Cold or 4 slekneilef any
The truth is, that to ovoid taking' Cold from or
dinary, or even extraordinary exposure, the vi
tal processe must be made strong enough to
rise above the untoward Influence of external
conditions. ,

"Never have anything to do with an unlucky
man. Be citations and bold. Make a bargain

next to good .health ends sound constitution,
is more valuable than the faculty of saving.—
tttrriter in the Spectator lately said, there is
no greater blessing for people of moderato
means than the possession of a year's expendi
tures ahead, and few things which are harder
to attain or rarely found. John Jacob Astor
said it was easier to make a fortune after hav
ing saved the first thousand dollars, than to
amass that sum at the outset, and so a year's
income once obtained, a foundation stone of
confidence and capital, on which one may erect
one of the loftiest and most ambitious edifices.
A man with a year's income Laid away, as the
Scotch say, Is twice the man 'with double his

in debt, but because ho can afford to try life in

are willing to open out to him, because be Is
not afraid of an expenment, because. in fact,he

WHAT A LIGHTNING - STROKE RE-
PEALED
An Ohio paper tells a very straUgt and start
hag story of the revelatiun made by a stroke of
lightning a few days since. The stroke, it
seems, prostrated a splendid grove of oaks in
the Miama Valley. Aiming them was one
which was rent asunder from top to bottom,
and according to the narrator, the fragments in
falling apart, disgorged a gaunt skeleton, yel
low with age, which instantly fell to pieces and
was scattered over several feet of the surround
ing pasturage. With the remains was also
found a few bottles of ancient pattern and a
leather pocket book, In good state of preserva
tion. The pocket-book-told the sad and tragic
story of the disentomed skeleton. It contained
papers which were brown and discolored, and
covered with rude penciling, scarcely legible,
but enough could be deciphered to show-that
they had been written bye soldier in the Revo
lutionary army—a man In fact who had been
=aid and companion to Oen. Washington—
Jib/ name was Roger Vandenburg, and he held
the rank of captain.
After participating In the privations of Val
ley Forge, and in the retreat across the Jerseys,
and serving a brief time at West Point, he
marched with St. Clair against the Northwest
ern Indians. On Nov. 3, 1791, he was wound
ed and captured by the redskins. He subse.
quently escaped,however,and being hard press
ed by his savage foes, he took refuge In this
oak tree. The hollow afforded a convenient re
treat, and he allowed himself to drop into It.—
Then, too late, he found that he had miscalcu
lated the depth of the hollow, and there was
.no escape. The remaining hours of his life was
spent in writing a diary,the entries which show
a terrible record of human suffering, and dur
ing a period of eleven days he painfully des
cribe-1 his sensations as he felt himself slowly
starving to 'death. The story is certainly a
stmnge one, and there Is nothing improbabl.
