Eileen fresh and calm and smiling gave
me the most intense relief, while as for
Tiel, he looked as cool and impevturbable

In the course of the day | had talk
with Tiel, and, just as Eileen had antici-

his mind. He certainly professed to be
glad | had changed my mind, and he
thanked me with every appearance OF
cordiality
"You arc doing the right thing, Belllc,'
he said. ''And, let me tell you, [ appre-
clate your courage"
There was a ring Of evident sincerity in
his voice as he said this, and, whatever |
might think of the mans moral charac-
ter, compliment from Tiel on ones
courage was not thing to despise.
In the late afternoon he set out to OBJ

Eileen also, and my annoyance returned.
