outlook and his ironical philosophy
of life took from our intercourse

stroking her sleek "black hair. A

us and neither of us spoke for a

"There's no word?" Lucy whls

"None." I said, huskily, and she
pressed her head hard against my
knee.

avoid hor eyes, but there must
have bcen some magnetic quality
in the look she turned on me, for
I felt my eyes drawn down to hers.

my heart ached for her. We had

Lucy answered the call. Mrs. Mof

form a sort of unholy unity. Jerry
had gone there. But why? And
why hadn't he returned?
"Good flod!"I muttered. "Un
