all the way, notwithstanding, my.audea-

a word, not even answering my ques

' Stopping"'before a sulntantial-Iooking
residence on one of the principal streets,
be applied the latch-key, and led meinto
a pleasant little room on the second floor
(a study, 1 thought it), hung about with
'. g'Md paintings and elegant chromos, and
lined with biioks r.f everv name,
''Take a seat, doctor ; I will step out
a moment. Take this chair by the fire
it is a bitter cold night.'
The chair was a great unwieltlly thing
but exceedingly comfortable. I threw
my feet npon the fender mid leaned back

with much interest at my vain ' attempts
to free myself. " ' '
"Good stotit cord, isn't it?'' he asked.

He went to a cabinet that stood in ona

"I have studied the art of guessing for
years," said he. "I can guess any thing ;
that is my guessing chair that you are
sitting in now, and I take great pleasure
in imparting "my knowledge to ' others.

did intend to make you guess that, but I

'lie had become satisfied with the edge
