CHAPTER XXX. (Continued.)

I'm the afternoon David walked over
to St Chrlstophers Beside his bit
terness and his suspense over see
ing her. David felt as he entered
the door of the Mission-what he had
felt on his three of four previous visits
"a fear of meeting some wrathful, up
braiding person who would recognize
him. But he met no one except a
group of children coming with books
from the library, and, unescorted, he
followed the familiar way to the recep-
tiOn room, where Helen had written
she would meet him. This room, I1te
the rest of the Missions interior, was
practically. unchanged; and in this
maintenance of old arrangements he
read reverence for Morton. He wan
dered about, locking at the friendly,
brown-tramed prints that summoned
back the far ante-prison days. The
past, flooding into him, and his sense
of the nearness of Helen, crowded out
for the time all his bitterness over
Rogers destruction.
When Helen appeared he was for an
instant powerless to move. She came
across the room with a happy smile,
her hand held out.
