queerly.
II seemed a long time before Brae-
mer came to them and told them smil-
ingiy that 1t was all over and that the
girl was then coming from under the
effects OF the ether. She would be all
right soon, he was reasonably certain.
No, they'd better not see her just then.
But perhaps they could see her at
some time during the afternoon Of the
following day.
Dale escorted his two companions
to modest hotel and then put them
In room that had but one bed; by
thus throwing them together In a
strange land, he hoped to do some
thing toward making them friends.
Then Dale went to another room, un-
dressed and went to bed.
1t may be noted, parenthetically as
1t were, that John Moreland and Ben
Littleford quickly reached wordlcws
agreement not to sleep together--they
divided the pillows and linens evenly,
tore the odd coyerlet exactly In half,
and slept on the floor.
When Dale went down to the lobby
the following morning an alert-eyed
young fellow sprang from a chair and
hastened up to him.

claimed, as they began to shake hands.
