little bowed about the shoulders already,
without recognizing in this clown with
the shaver head and the white, drawn
face the handsome boy who had taught
her the first lesson Of love under the
overhanging trees Of Thames backwa-
ter only few short months ago.
He was thankful when at last the train
moved out from the station. thankful for
the roar and rattle Of the train after the
silence of his cell, thankful even for the
coarse laughter and conversation of his
companions, the sound of human voices
appraised in something that was not an
order or reproof. thankful to be herded
with those to whose level the law had
reduced him, out OF sight of the shocked
or Mortified or gloating eyes of the free.
The train rushed on with its burden of
the living dead, through the mean pur-
lieus OF the, great city, past suburban gar
dens ablaze with autumn flowers, out
through the wide spaces of the open coun-
try in it's glorious livery OF red and gold.
Overhead the wide spaces of the sky,
about him the smiling, flying fields of an
English countryside, before him the gray,
desolate, billy stretches of the peninsula
or Bllmouth, bleak and treeless, with its
vast gray quarries and its huge, unlovely
fortresses where, in A world Of silence,
men work out the eXpiatiOn Of their sins

from the train a damp mist was blowing
up from the channel Chill and penetrat-

yet the shiver that ran over him was not
wholly physical The desolate, cherries
aspect of the place seemed as though it
might have been created for a convict
settlement, so desolate was if. so plainly
was the blight OF Journalism over every
thing. The exqusitely kept roads stretch
ing to the vast prison, the mighty cliffs,
even the magnificent sweep of the bay
| yelled in the gray mist seemed to en-
! phasize the fact that this was a place
where Nature herself had made an i'm
