 For the first time since he had left the ship the memory of Hank had come back to him. The sight of Ruth had driven it away, but now it swept back to him.
 What's the matter?" asked Ruth, start- led by the sudden change.
 "I was thinking of poor old Hank"
 Where is Mir. Jardine? Didn't he come back with you?" ,

 They went out into the street. Against the curb a large red automobile was stand- ing. The chauffeur touched his cap as he saw them. Kirk stared at him dumbly.
 "In you get, dear," said Ruth.
 She met his astonished gaze with smile of triumph This was her moment, the mo- ment for which she had been waiting. The chauffeur started the machine. ...

 "Mine. Yours. Ours. Oh, Kirk, darling, I was so afraid that you would come back bulging with a fortune that would make my little one look like nothing. But you haven't, you haven't, and it's just splendid" She caught his hand and pressed it. "It's simply sweet of you to look so astonished. I was hoping you would.

 Bailey hesitated. He looked at Kirk, who was standing stiffly by the door.

He choked down what he had intended to say and walked out Kirk closed the door softly behind him and began to pace the studio floor.
