Some days later, Spargo, having Been

against him, and In a fair way of being
cleared of the affair of twenty years
before, found himself In n very quiet
corner of the ceAirt holding the hand
of Jcsslo Aylmore, who, he discovered,
was saying things to him which he
si'nrcplr comprehended. There was no

said. "You will won't 'you?"
