Joe's uplifted hand hushed an ex-
clamation.
"'Sh, Don't speak too loud, they
may be listening"
Joe looked once into the eyes of
his friend, then he stepped forward
and held out his hand, the hand of
boundless trust of faith unshakab1e.
81 knew you would come, Joe," said
Duke, as if the others presence in
the parish prison gave him no sur
prise.
Joe put him arm about the younger
mans shoulder, and drew him from
the window to a chair. They sat OPP
posite each other at the rough table,
alone, facing a crisis. But, now that
Joe was here he could not force his
awkward tongue to frame a single one
of all the questions that burdened him.
well, joe Duke spoke first, and
with the resignation of a man who
has grown accustomed to the depths.
We'll, Joe, everybody must know it
by this time But for Gods sake don't
let her name be dragged into the
newspapers I can keep quiet
The hopeless tone cut into Joe like
a knife. Duke was essentially a man
of combat and of action; the fact that
he could remain passive marked a
vital change in the man. But his eye
was calm and steady. there was Meth
er fear nor back-down in it Toe said
nothing; there was nothing he could
say.

him mad. The few ideas that he
