George was keenly interested in
this man who could accept such a
kick apparently without feeling or re-
sentiment. He stood up for a better
view. One glance was sufficient. 1t
was Ryanne, the erstwhile affable
Ryanue of the reversible cuffs: his
feet and hands stiI1 in bondage, his
clothes torn, his face battered and
bruised like Il sailors Of a Sunday
morning on shore-ieave. The sight of
Ryanne frightened him considerably.
Although he was sfngularly free from
the spirit Of malevolence, he was, new
crtheIess, human enough to subscribe
to that unwritten and much denied
creed that the misery Of one man rec
onciles another to his. And here was
company such as misery loved; here
was O man worse off than himself,

outlook was not pleasant thing to
contemplate. But oh! the fight this
one must have been! II II had taken
five natives to overcome him, how
many had It taken to beat Ryanne
into such shocking condition.? He
was genuinely sorry for Ryanne, but
in his soul he was glad to see him.

Not a Cheerful Outlook.

George, his brain in tumult, fierce
tigerish courage giving fictitious
strength to his body, staggered toward
her. 1t was a mad dream, a mirage
Of his own disordered thoughts. For
tune there? 1t was not believable.
What place had she in this tangled
web? He ran his fingers into his hair,
gripped, and pulled. If it was dream
