in the Kitchen: put on the te;lkettle
and get out the chicken again
Then she darte.l into the front hall
and Simon heard the door open and the
sound of IL girlish voice lifted In glad
greeting. Miss Be;,ls' shrek of sur
prise was drowned in hurried whisper.
and finally there came the closing OF
another door on the opposite side Of th,'
hall.
Simon waited awhile: then he folde,
up his maps and l:ut them in his pock
ct. He got up and walked the floor,
and it was while he was pacing thus
that he paused before the long mirror
set between the front windows and
saw for the first time the reflection of
his changed form.
Simon rubbed his eyes and blinked
with unbelief.
This tall. muscular, youthful looking
man with the rnddy cheeks and the
bright eyes could not be Simon Ped
rick. The Simon that he had always
known was fat and nnwielly and
pale.
But as he looked he saw that his
clothes hung loosely on his firmly knit
ted frame. his cheeks were lean and
his muscles were hard
This loss Of flesh might explain the
feeling Of vigor that possessed him
nowadays. The muscles that had
were tireless now. He felt young
alive-and capable of almost anything.
And then his mind few back to
pretty LueIla Finch and he wondered
what Lucia wonid say if she could see
him now.
He was soon to know. for suddenly
the door opened and LueIla Finch
stood there. Her glance wandered past
him to search the room. then to come
back to his changed face-his meta
morpbosed form with incred,ilous eyes.
Simon looked ut her with kindling
eyes. What was Luella doing here
Luella so fair. so desirable: Luella.

"Sin,on:' she whispered. lis it real
