Bob Terry was conscious OF IN abb

parture he felt a twinge OF regret,
as though he were abandoning q
haven of refuge. After all, the
prison itself had not been so very
bad; II had been more the CHASTITY
knowledge that he was no longer a
human being. that his every move
ment was arranged for him, and that
he was powerless. Simeon Mason was
a humane warden. The prison had
known very little brutality, and that
had been the work Of guards venting
their individual and personal spleen.
Even the punishment Of Enruiy prls-
onefs had been merciful. But there
was no escaping from the knowledge
that one was no longer regarded rs

He took her face between his hands and
kissed her fOndly, after which he mounted
