know whether TariS would stand by me OF

"Is it not possible" said Kavanagh, "is

''If you think am nothing but passive

more fire in his voice than had yet heard.
They have something to gain by my remov-

tools lay on q bench, but they only looked
like misshapen spoons. In the middle OF
the workshop, however, there was some
thing on a stout stand, carefully enveioped
in damp cloth, and little farther on
stood another stool bearing Il smaller mass

Taras, opening the door with his key, and

He was a handsome man-handsomer
than Taras in some respects, but of differ

Taras, but he looked still more lacking

tinguished the different character of the
two. Taras in his loose, light tweed suit,
Hanuel shirt and soft, carelessly tied neck
