waythorn the next morning went
down town earlier than usual Haskell
was not likely IL come till the after
noon, but the instinct OF flight drove
him forth. He meant to stay away all
day; he had thoughts Of dining at the
club. As his door closed behind him
he reflected that before he opened 1t
again 1t would have admitted another
man who had as much right to enter it
as himself and the thought filled him
with "A physical repugnance. He caught
the elevated at the employees hour and
found himself crushed between two lay

wriggled out and another took his place
Waythorn glanced up and saw that It
was Gus Narick. The men were so close
together that it was impossible to ignore
the smile of recognition on Narick's
handsome ovcrblown face. And after
all. why not? They had always been
on good terms, and Narick had been
divorced before Waythorn's attentions
TO his wife began. The two exchanged
word on the perennial grievance Of
the congested trains. and when "A seat
ut their side was miraculously left
empty the instinct of self-preservation
made waythorn slip into it beside
Narick.

to feel like IA pressed flower" He leaned
back. looking unconcernedly at Way

at his partners name.
Narick looked surprised. You didn't
know he was laid up with the gout?"
NO. I've been away. only got

speculation with which Waythorn's
