fellow in tow last I've forgotten his name.

Hepburn had a sudden fierce desire to take his
sleek informant by the throat and denounce him as
a lar. Instead, he made some excuse and took him
self off where he could think without Interruption
In his first abhorrent revolt he would not entertain
the thought as possibility. 1t was unhehev

To was entirely TOO rational not to that he had
expected more than was his right; and while he
dissolved her from all blame, ne found 1t incredibly
hard to face the truth, and his course of action
in the premises called for questioning consideration
Should he present himself and try to win BACK the
love he had lost? lie recognized that it would be an
unfair proceeding She could not refuse him if he
returned to her, however she might feel toward him.
He saw that the decision must be his, that her part
in the outcome foreordained; and with sen.
sitiveness which sprang from his deepcned consdera
ton for her, he shrank from forcing himself UPON

He searched IIopburn's face and the latter
laughed.

Briefly Hepburn narrated his experiences and at
times his friend seemed to listen. while at times his
thoughts seemed otherWhere. Once his hand went
out to q letter the desk. He picked it up. tore
it into bits and dropped it into the waste basket
When Hepburn finished there silence for

change in his voice

He consoled himself with thinking that gossip rarely

friends advice before he went further. 1t was with
