You've got to begin by taking care of the love that is sick and miserable. We want 1t to live, my dear. Now, want a direct decision-at once: Will you take charge of two patients on long contemplated trip in search of love and rest-wages paid in advance"
 She looked at him, white faced and stunned. He was putting it before her fuently and in a new light She saw what 1t was that he considered that she owed to them-the love of daugh- ter, after all.
 An hour later she stood with Cray don on the rear platform of the car. He was trying to talk calmly of the country through which they were rusl ing, and she was looking pensively down the rails that slipped out behind them.
 "We'u be in Chicago in three days" he remarked.
 "Graydon. I have decided to go abroad for five or six months before starting upon my work. They want me so much, you see," she said, her voice trife uncertain
 ''I wish could have some power to persuade you," he said. Changing his tone to one of brisk interest, he went on. 'ft is right, dear. 1t will do you great good, and it will be a joy to them. T'n miss you''
 And I shall miss you, Graydon," she said, her eyes very solemn and wistfua.
 Wont you-won't you give me the promise want, Jane?' he asked eager y. She placed her hand upon his and shook her head.

 NJ Harbins went at once te the Annex, where David Gable had taken rooms. They had given up theil north side home some months before both he and his wife retiring into the seclnsion that great hotel can afford when necessary.
 Graydon hurried off to his fathers office, eager, yet half fearing, to meei the man who was responsible for the broken Nnk in his ufe-tfais odd year He recalled as he drove across town that full year had elapsed since he spent that undergraduate night in Elias Droom's uncanny nome. Was he never to forget that night that night when his soul seemed even more squaNd than the home of the reeiuse?
 All of his baggage except a suit case had beenafeft at the station. He did not know what had become of his be- longings in the former home of his fa- ther, nor, for that matter, did he care.
 At the U- building he ventured a difident greeting to the elevator boy, whom he remembered. The boy looked at him quizztcally and nodded with customary aloofness. Graydon found himself hoping that he would not meet Bobby Rigby. He also wondered as the car shot up how his father had managed to escape from the meehes that were drawn about him on the eve of his departure. His chances had looked black and hopeless enough then. yet he still maintained the same old ofnces in the bai1ding. His name was on the directory board downstairs. 0raydon's heart gave quick bound with the thought that his father had p&oved the changes false after all.
 Elias broom was busy directing the laboFs of two ahaebodied men and charwoman, all of whom were toiffng as they had never toaied before. The woman was dustfng law books. and the men were packing them away in boxes. The front room of the suit was in state of devastation. A dozen boxes stood about the floor; rugs and furniture were huddled in the most re- mote corner awasting the arrival of the secondhand man," the floor was lit tered with paper. broom was direct ing operations with broken umbrella. It seemed like a lash to the toilers.
 ~Now let's get through with thfs Foom," he was saying in his most im- polling way. '+The men will be here for the boxes at 4. don't want lem to wait. This back room stuff we'll put in the trunks. Look out there! nos,af vcay goo tha& nail Sss

Norfolk is famous for its mild and gem

Macon, Ga. That is a little further
South than he wants TO go, but is not

reason, he prefers Norfolk is that the
