Jim Swain did not touchGeorge — he only looked on; and as, at the suggestionof the woman, they opened the window,ancl pushed the chair on whicli George yvas lyingwithin the current of air,he picked up the card,over which oneofthe castors had passed.It wasa small photographic portrait. <strong>The</strong> boy looked atit,and recognised, with surprise, that it was thelikeness ofMr. Deane — that it was a sac-simile ofa portrait he hacl looked at and handled a verylittlewhile ago.
