presently sounded again, shouting Hike

himself sitting on a rustic-bench

Valiant pacing up and down, waiting
for daylight. There was a sun
lighted stretch between two hemlocks,
with Southall and he measuring the
ground-the grass all dewy sparkles
and an early robin teetering on a
thorn-bush. Eight - nine - ten - he
caught himself counting the PAGES.
He wiped his forehead. Between
the hemlocks now were two figures
facing each other, one twitching un-
certainly. the other palely rigid; and
at one side, held screen-wise, raised

with liquor! Yet, what was there a

Hubert passed the man a Smau
coin. He was poor himself, but it
was his way to help the needy clear
down the line. The man bolted away
for the nearest gin shop. Hubert
stood under street lamp turning
over and over the queer medallion.
He was a dreamer and idle and I'M
employed just now and had time to
speculate. He built up dream OF
Arabian skies, and mystic shrieks,

dallion. He affixed it to his watch
chain, chain leaving only a pawn
brokers' check at its pocket end.

city Influenced him to remain within
its confines He was literary in his
tastes and he had vague idea that
he was gathering up material for a
great novel to exploit when he got
back to New York.
Hubert soon forgot about the
trinket upon his watch chain. Econ

the state of his exchequer. He had
