At first sight he would not be taken for @ fast man, al- though he dresses with elegance and excellent taste. The record of his career, however, makes a diferent showing and induces the conclusion that the rapduy of his existence has been rarely exceeded by any of the dashing swells of the period. It should not be inferred, however, that Paul Is a dissipated man, as his habits embrace none of the vices to whicn fast men are generally so strongly addicted, He neither gambies, drinks or uses tobagco, ana is exceedingly regular m all his habits.

Being again ne in the world, Paul grew morose and melan- choly, until he began to cast about for another wife, On a trp to the pleasant ciiy of Bangor, Maine, he made the acquaintance of a beautilul lady of that place, upon Whom he fixed his attentions.
