This she would by means gran', but sternly opposed the very mention of t sueli nprulxiymon. The r onsequence has been that. ever since the frustration of his wishes. he has seclu ded himself tram the society of his fellow men, and has lived for morn than 2.5 years in a small gar ret, unseenand alone. His moth , r, a widow, has-liv ed in en apartment right below the garret. and al the' she hasbeen so nearhis poison as to hula daily conversatien with him, and put his provisions through a stnallaperture to him, yet for many years at a time she never got a glimpse of Lim. The lust time she saw him was about fifteen years ago.
