Again the talk drifted to London
He told her OF Bohemia, literary
London, of the clubs and resorts un.
known to tourists. Helen listened
with the eager, glowing interest that
was one Of her greatest charms.
Absorbed, she leaned forward with
family flushed cheeks, unconscious
of Warren's tall figure striding to-
ward them. He was almost at the
table before she looked up. Her vio-
lent start nearly upset her wine glass

coldly impersonal.

courtesy Mr.. Weston had risen and

ly. "Shall | come right up?"
Certainly not" taking the key.
Don't let me disturb you" Then
with curt, "Clad to have met you"
to Mr.. Weston, he strobe off,
The pause that followed was a con-
scious. embarrassed one Then with
out any comment on the interruption,
Mr.. Weston went on talking of Lon
don. Helen tried not to seem discon-
certed, but she could think only of
Warren. Was he waiting for her up
stairs? What would be his attitude
Although Mr.. Weston strove to put
her at ease, the rest of the luncheon
was most constrained. When they
parted at the elevator, he thanked
her for a very pleasant morning, and
expressed the hope that they would
meet again.
At the sixth floor, Helen darted
down the long hall to their room.
Warren was writing letter, an un-
lighted cigar in his mouth. He did
not look up as she entered.
"Oh, dear, that's the gentleman l
met on the car-you know l was all
alone" breathlessly. 1--WE got to talk
ing of London-and he"
"Cut it! I'm not interested in your
escapades."
"Oh, Warren, don't take it like

Eyes, it looked that way. Having

"Why, Warren" nesting beside
him, "you know I-why I wouldn't
have done it for worlds if I thought
you'd be jealous"
"Jealous!" with a roar. Don't flat

And gathering up his letters he
swung out. the door banging after

From the window she could see tn.

Awkwardly alone, Helen followed

they gave him many pointers about War

prison guards. These tips were convey
ed during exercise hours in the yard and
on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. A

Saturday afternoon afforded much chance
for conversation. Between innings the
professor was slipped many a friendly
hint on how to be happy though In

The convicts do not know yet that the
Kid was a college professor interested

surprise introduced to him before he left
the institution.
Prof. MacCormick is preparing a re-

the sanitary conditions of the prison. but,
