breast. AS he did 80, the thought came
to him that not before in five years
had he been for a moment uncon-

tightly that 1t almost gave beneath

the two to the light, the soft light of
the candle upon the table. and stared
from one to the other with eyes brim-

Like crystal gazers. he saw other
things than those presented to the
casual vision. He heard other sounds
than the beat of the rain upon the
