The denfierate young man on the

of a brukou henrtetl child.
I came back to my pavilion after
midnight, but I did not nlcep, though
I lay upon my bed until dawn. Then
I went for a long, hard wnlk, break

"Yen. that Is It."
To nave my life 1 could not have told
at that moment what clue I hud e

but I certainly took n deep breath of
relief, "I mn very glad," I wild. "It

"On the whole, I think It will be,"
ho returned thoughtfully "Ingle'
