Thus apostrophized., Jim is compelled
te break the silences which seems to
-himself to wall him round like n petri-
faction. It is lo Elizabeth that he °frees
his herdly-won speech.
"I think I need not tell you," he sus's,
mvavely; mid with passable steadiness,
"Mat I would help you in any way 1
scored,"
She stands a moment or two irreso-

"IL is not n question of whist will hurt

en agony of impatience in her tone,
'The Ming to be considered is what will

But lisn is incapable of coming a

Eke minutes later Jim has left the
roorn-ostensibly to make nrrangenients
for his friend's arrival, in reality be-
cause he cannot count upon his own
self-control if he remain its it. The sur-
vivors of Elizabeth Le Merchant's are-
