alarmed. He was in no mental or phys

must do something to save himself. AS
the dull n drew near Ransom in his
desperation greeted him with sour short
ness and hurried by. The other had
paused, but at this brief dismissal, MS it
were, turned away up the steps. Ran
som was smitten of conscience at his
w rudeness. 1t was foreign to his po-
lite and f1owery instincts. He must do
something to take the soreness out of
the man. Ransom turned pleasantly
when some ten steps separated him from
the bore and called out: "Goodby,
Simpkins. I've been thinking q mighty
heap about you lately, Simpkins." At
this Simpkins began to betray symp-
toms of returning. but don't come
back, Simpkins," demonstrated Ransom,
wildly motioning with both hands.
