I got ? new Idea of him wt*n I

It was ? cheap Utile room In the

fashioned and unmodarn, bet ft bad

during all the month* that I bad

Everywhere there was order and

tad not tboogbt before that a room j
could reeaal so much of a man.

As I sat looking around at the shn- !

Instinctively to Mrs. Clayton. She Is
