b temetblnc struncclv and suddenly
unreal about all this about this man,
with his cutinlnc bruin, who lav here in
this queer' four-pester bed ; about that
trim little figure, who bent ever the
table there, and w hose profile only new
mj in view, the profile of a sweet,
womanly face that Bomehew new sccincn
te be very earnect, for he could sec the
rellectlea of a puckered brew In the Ut

Ke, there wasn't anything unreal
beat her. She was very real.
He remembered her ns she had steed
lt night en the threshold there, and
yen in the lighted doorway he had seen
ler for the first time. He would never

had finished the letter, and Nlcole was
reading it new. He could afford te wait

he could net afford te wait where
Millman was concerned. And, besides,
there was his own safety. Hookie Hkar

and the sooner, the better it would be.
In a little while, a few months, after
he had paid his debt te Millman he
would pay his debt te Beekie Skervan.
He was net likely te forget Hookie

come back te San rranclsce In a few
months. With ordinary caution It
ought te be quite safe then. Dave Hen Hen
