The match waa not broken off, but there was a frigid cool ness in that house until the real object of the visit was afterward explaiued. Another rich and Immaculate young well waa ordered Into a ditch where aome Italians were digging in the main street of Cambridge, and into it he went with pick and shovel, clad in a drees auit, which was made part of tha com mand.
