There was bright red spot iii each Of Calls cheeks, and Rev Smith Boyds cold eyes were distinctly green! Allison had been duly announceds but the combatants merely glanced at him. and finished the few remarks upon which they were, at the moment, en- gagged He had been studying the tab leau with the interest of connols- seur, and he had devoted his more earnest attention to Rev. Smith Boyd.

 q only ran in to see if you'd like to take a private car trip in the new subway before it is. opened" offered Allison, turning to shake hands with Rev. Smith Boyd Twill you join us, doctor?"
 VI jangle had come into the room, and it affected the three of them Allison was the only one who did not notice that he had taken Calls acceptance for granted

 Rev Smith Boyd had been engaged in strong wrestle within himself. but the spirit finally conquered the flesh | and he held his tongue He remep- bered that Gail was young, and youth was prone to extravagant impulse His spirit of forbearance came so strongly to his aid that he was even able to acknowledge how beautiful she was when she was stiffened.
