I The fire, fed with blazing turf and branches of dried wood, blazed merrily in the centre; but the smoke, having no means to escape but through a hole in the roof, eddied round the rafters of the cottage, and hung in sable folds at the height of about five feet from the oor. The space beneath was kept pretty clear, by innumerable currents of air which rushed towards the fire from the broken pannel of basketowork which ser ved as a door, from two square holes, de signed as ostensible windows, through one of which was thrust a plaid, and through the other a tattered great-coat and more over, through various less distinguishable apertures in the walls of the tenement, which, being built of round stones and turf, cemented by mud, let in the atmos phere at innumerable crevices.
