face. and found it grave.
1--WE read Anna Blum's statement.
He looked away from her. down at
the brown and orange OF the carpet.
1t was like fallen leaves, like a drift
of fallen leaves. He saw the bare
trees of wintry forest. and the leaves
that lay in drifts below.
Amazing. isn't it?" he said.
He had forgotten that they were
talking about his name, but she re-
called him to it,
"You were called Anton Blum. Is

"WeIl. I shouldn't think you would

II don't feel like that. There's no

EVELYN leaned n little nearer and

Evelyn shook her head.

in an odd, still voice. Then she smiled
rather beautifully, and Laydon's heart
cried out in him.
Il remember like one remembers a

You know how it is. You have a

about the dream until something re-
minds YOU. Perhaps it's some rotten
little thing, and you don't know why

sudden you can look into your own
mind and see the dream there. fright

hand opened and shut twice. sharply.
I'm making a most awful bungle OF
it; but can't put it any better"
You mean when you first woke
up-came to yourself-out there In
Cologne you didn't remember much
about all the time you were Anton

that what you mean?"
Yes, something like that. Not all

starts-if anything reminds me. Just
now. for instance He paused,
hesitated, and let the words come with

1t would be hard; but 1t was being

out toward her.
He stood at the window, holding
back a rush of words. If he could no

would hazard everything now. Wait

Give her time-give her time, you

them with a challenging spark in her
