timacles which drove him half mad His
face grew pale. and his fists were tight
ly cInched as he walked. He hardly saw
the familiar street before him; he had a
far clearer vision OF Maud and Farnham
by the garden gate; her beautiful face
was turned up 10 the young mans with
the winning sweetness of a flower, and

Maud went in and Sam seated himself
