not say anything. When he did speak,
he said something which led Willis to
ask questions about his home training
In return Edward asked questions Of
Willis And that evening before they
went to bed the two young men had
learned more about each others family
surroundings than they had ever learn
ed before. The condolences they ex-
changed placed their friendship on an
entirely new and more, substantial ba-
sis. Edward learned that Willis ia
ther had for years been successful
stockbroker in New York. He had sep
arated from his wife, who had moved
west with her children, the oldest Of
whom was Willis. Willis spoke of his
father with contempt and lapsed into
his reckless manner in a short descrip-
ton of him. But the minute he spoke
of his mother he became gentle, and
his manner was more nearly like that
which had surprised Edward ut the be-
ginning.
