ever faster in. the intrica0lee of the

showed traces of emotion:

He turned to Itu:h, and she was

She hoped tlhe`young fan 1nnlcl r:1t

spoke in a matter-of-fact tone,

about the strange young man of the
l'oneertie 17ersonality. She did net
'know wbethei• she was attracted to-
wards 111m or not, but to one thing
she was cerl1aiu---ho was not the

She had a curious feeling that he
