His spirits had mounted to a high

For the first time in his history Lam

woman to whom he dared-and
cared-to speak without reserve-a
circumstance intrinsically intoxicating.
And stimulated by her unquestionable
interest and sympathy, he did talk
without reserve-of old Troyon's and

wanderings, Of the education of the
Lone Wolf and his career, less in pride
than in relief that it was ended, of the
future he must achieve for himself

self-supporting.

clouded and her attention wandered,
it was less in ennui than because OF
occult trains of thought set in motion
by some chance word or phrase OF
