There was a numerous company that

villi tables, on which the company resiii
iheir elbows as they ate. Ileniy penetra
ted ihe thick cigar smoke, and advancing to
ilie end of the room, seated himself si
table where soino merry fellows were al
ready, 'Here is Heinriclu exclaimed one ol

Thai is what constitutes ibe glory of at

Heimich sal modestly down, and pour-
ng out a glasa of wine made, no reply li

'Let us see your feel, Heinrich.'
A mililarv-looking figure su at a litiic

This question was asked 111 a tons
