There were other actions which showed
the ticket-of-lcave man to be possessed of a
fastidious nature. . The first enthralling
solemnity cf the refound enjoyment of good .
tobacco having passed off, he left the shop
and went in search of a ready-mada clothing ;
establishment. .Here he bought a shirt and
cllar, a pair of sliining boots, a hat, gloves,
and a cheap suit which for a few days would,
nang together and present an appearance
almost fashionable. He asked permission to
change his apparel on the premises. Then
having had a brown paper- parcel , made of
the - suit presented to him - by a generous
gqyemment he went his way, no doubt
much relieved by the amelioration of his ex
ternal condition. . ' : '.'.'
After a few more purchases needed by a
gentleman for hi3 toilet, he found his money

of gallons of hot' water and months of time
must be expended before these badly-used
members in any way resumed their original
appearance. Then, without a shilling in his

a place and, so properly particular as to
what society might be "round about. He ob
tained milch valuable and interesting infor

they appeared to the eyes of the Red Lion.
He learned who- lived in the big white house
at the 'edge of the i comirionj 'who in the house

were talking gravely and sadly to the Lion,

; "Rich men, I suppose-?' he said, reseating
