He nodded. "Admitted," be said dry-

She shook her. head. "No!"
He nsade no reply; he sat for a
while apparently thinking; once or
twice he glanced toward the win-
dows. It was dark outside except for
the fantastic lights in the street. All
the while, he was aware of the young
girl at his table. She had stretched
out a slender handand picked up an
old pen and was scratehing it aimless-
ly about, without ink, on a bit of pap-
er. Be saw her fingers shake. She was
so young that she seemed no ,more

hand gentlyupon her head. Her soft
hair was like a child's too. He remem-

the thrill of its appeal, its demand
for happiness, began to penetrate the
