It was very dark on this corner. I could see nothing of the person with whom } had the honor to be fa collision. Nevertheless, the quick habit of a mind accustomed to induction had furnished me with several well define?acts re- garding him before I fairly recovered from the shock of the encounter. ‘Taese were some of the facts: Re was a heayler man than myseif,and stiffer in the legs: but he lacked precisely three inches asda halt of my stature.
