CHAPTER XXIII.
A SURPRISE.

Wun George Cramer was pursuing his in-
glorious career at college, Howard Framing-
ham and Tom Mixon were diligently pursuing
their studies in Philadelphia. They saw each
other occasionally, and always with pleasure.
One day they met at the Academy of Fine
Arts.

“ Well, Tom, how are you?” said Howard ;
and without waiting for an answer, he said:
“Come this way; I want to show you a model
my master has here at the exhibition.”

Howard led Tom to a small model of an
exchange building, which -the architect had
made.

“There, now, England herself can show
nothing finer than that,” said Howard.
