built, lean man, of about forty years of age,
with broad shoulders, and lees "made to
fit" a borae of middle height, and his head
is covered wilb thick bair, cropped close,
and showing the bumps which are reflec
tive and combative, with a true Gallic air
at the back of the skull ; the forehead broad
and well developed, projects somewhat over
the keen, eager dark eyes; the face is very
thin, with very high cheek bones, a well
shaped nose, slightly aquiline, and a large,
rigid, sharply-cut moutb, set above a full,
fighting chin.

of victory in tha rising sun, thsy naad not
