Halfway down James street, Hill
lizard, driving his runabout in utter dis
regard Of the traffic rules, was reliv-
ing, moment by moment, and word by
word, the conversations Of the earlier
evening. He had gone to Carol with
the sturdy intention Of betraying him
self manfully and in detail but in the
Doctors study he had perceived an
other, and what seemed to him a more
unselfish method Of achieving the same
end. He had fancied that If he could
preserve intact the memory Of Dicky
Morgan, If he could prevent the world
and especially that part of it per-
sonal to the Cullens and Durants-
from knowing what despicable thing
It was that Dick Morgan had done. he
could save modicum Of pain for
those who would otherwise be most
affected. This conception had inter-
fered to make his talk with Carol
somewhat aimless he had
been under the dual necessity of damn
ing billiard, without duplicating Nor
gan. And how bunglingly he had ac-
