Andrea drew a long whimperIng
sigh and nestled down against the
warm furs. Fer eyes gazed imperson.

COS bowed head; then they wandered
about the room. So this was where he
had lived and worked during many
months! It was q bachelors room,
arranged at once for comfort. utility
and sIoth. On one side was his cot,
permanently inclosed in mosquito net

then went back to linger for an in
slant In vague wonder. Why heC

Without looking at her he went to the
bookcase and, after moment, drew
