he found Clinton doing in a swing
bench, and the girls on guard over
him. Each had her charming nose in
a magazine that she might not be
tempted to chatter and thereby dis
turb the repose of their drowsy

Bemm's arrival reused Clinton, and
for some time the four talked on inn
personal topics. At last Ellen and
Amy went inside. BENIN promptly
shifted to a seat near Clinton and re-
marked in Il sympathetic tone: "That
was rotten-their serving you with a
warrant. But I suppose they thought
they were justified. when you started
to leave town."
II suppose so," acquiesced Clinton.
'The fact, however, is that nothing
was further from my thoughts than
those Lowrie bonds"
Frankly" said BENIN, what puz-
zles me is that you wished to go at all.
