Unorna had listened attentively. as
she always did when Keyork delivered
himself OF a serious opinion unon a
psychiatric case. Her eyes cleaned
with satisfaction as he finished,

rest. After he had fallen. and while
the Waterman was getting the car

ordered him TO wake without fail in

Perfect! Splendid" cried Keyork,
clapping his hands loudly together.
Il did you an injustice, my dear Uuor-

moment. But tell me, did you not
take the opportunity af suggesting
something else?' His eyes twinkled
merrily as he asked the question,
What do you mean?" inquired
Unorna, with sudden GOODNESS,
ooh, nothing so seriQIs as you
seem to think. 1 was only wondering
whether suggestion of reciprOcation

gnome in low-toned interruption.
(Which you do not-you would
know how much such love
as you advise me to manu-

And that is all the credit | get for

You said so, but"
"But you did not expect me to keep
