the two things were one. His mental
vision, bridging the gap of year, con-

Mr.. Law was DULY conscious that

The clock was striking four when

indicated ten minutes to four. So he
could not have slept very long.

it had not been there when he closed

the magic fragrance Of the rose-garden

cloying sweet than ever.

The Russians have completely cut
