The man nodded, took the two
notes, and then passed the ration
through. Gun turned away, calling
out with some attempt at cheri-
ness:

Tommy instantly sprang into ac-
ton, and came hurrying to meet
Gun. Then the two of them, dirty.
haggard and unkempt. squatted
on their hams like animals. and
like animals gnawed ravenously at
their Jumps of bread. Gun thought
Of Bucks club. where he had so
often dined or lunched, and Won
dered what Buck would think if
he could see him now.
Trent came over, asked his usual
question, and received the usual
reply from Tommy. He ran his eye
appraisingly over Gun, and no
ticed the sullen mouth, the nor
vous, unsteady eyes. and the
trembling fingers just as Gun
meant that he should Before he
left them he favored Gun with a
meaning glance.
Its all right" Gun told his com
panion, when Trent had gone.
Hes bitten. He'll have me out Of
here tonight, to have a chin-wag
with him. And then"
We'll. and then--what ?"
"Oh. well, we shall see what we
shall see. But I'll get a meal out
Of him for you. anyway"
Il hope sol" There was Just the
faintest CLEAN Of anticipation in
Tommy's eyes-then it changed TO
another sort Of CLEAN Look here.

Gun gave him a steady look.

No. decidedly Tommy did not

Cheer up. old son." said Gun,
comfortingly. I'm going to put
that little plan Of mine into action
today. And, by all the gods, I'll get
a meal, drink and smoke out of

How the devil are you going to

Gun glanced at his wrist watch.
