broken quiet and rest for her patient,
and Steve, and not Barbara, proved the
difficult one to manage during that pc

there came to him recollection of many
things which required his attention.
He fretted over his work; he sWore
humorously at Fat Joe, who, coming to

Sarah realized that the good in such
visits far exceeded the benefits of sleep
and solitude, assured his chief that
they had accomplished much, unham-
pered as they were by carping author

But he lay and brooded, no humor in
his eye. when he was left alone. Fat
Joe had assured him that she had
brought him home, but Fat Joe, who
was ever averse to anti-climax, had
told him no more than that His eff
forts at entertainment were only the
more spontaneous those days because
of the soberness of his friends face.
And then the same day that Joe raised
him against the pillows so that he
might watch a string Of fat cars, high
piled with logs, roll into the yards. they
let her go to him.
