And in what lay the change? That was
the question he put to himself as he sat on
the bed unconsciously noting the long,
wavering flicker of the candle-f1ame against

tented lines about the mouth, kindled the
unnatural, restless glitter in the eyes, and
changed the note of the voice from sponta-

lay deeper; 1t lay in the heart and soul of
the man himself.
