Rickard lost the feeling of having
gone into a remote and Isolated re-

One Of the older men returned his
nod. The young men returned their
hastily withdrawn attention to their
game Of checkers. The other smoker
was watching with cross-eyed absorp-

been there.

Pete, the young giant, with the face
of his infancy enlarged rather than

He had been the first to discover the
stranger, but he had evaded the re-
sponsibility. The game Immediately
absorbed him.
"It's nice here" repeated the young
fellow, leading the way. They were
followed by a few idle glances.
Rickard looked with approval at the

handsome face was almost too girlish,
the muscles of the mouth too sensitive
