 Suddenly he thrust hands in, pockets turned pettishly away and drowned out of the window. Te scowled down on the pavement, he stared across the street, he glanced up at patch of blue sky. As. he gazed thereon his face slowly softened and settled into dreaminess; mechanically he slipped hand Into his coat pocket and drew forth Turkish slipper-a cheap, tawdry affair, red, embroidered with gold. As 1t lay on his extended palm Dickie sank his head, clutched his chin and gazed with knitted brows; he smoothed his fingers |, lightly, almost caressingly, over the little slipper. and his perplexed look deepened into mediation. Abstractly lifting his head, he caught In the mirror opposite a full length snapshot of his lovelorn pose and expression. He started, his hands fell, and he eyed himself in sour disgust.
 "Ugh!" he grunted. ''SentimentaIisti Maudlin. weak-eyed sentimentalist! Why

 For a silent moment Dickie and his re- fiection glowered ferociously on each oth- CT, then he squared his shoulders, ana crushing the slipper in tense grip slow ly shook at himself a revengeful fore finger.
