He got along fairly we'll, with great
care and caution. One evening he saw
Isabel Dennison entering the library.
He knew 1t was his one, because she
had on gray dress, whereas her co,is-
In had worn green one during the day;
otherwise 1t was too dark to see her

He recognized after the first wild
movement that he must save the situa-
