V I never was In better trim in my llfe. ,, “Physically, yes,” returned the med ico. M lientally and socially—a per verted nondescript.” “Thank you!” observed Wayne dryly- “Oh, don't get offended. We are real friends. It was a blighting destiny that chained yon down to a- desk and kept you there, a mere machine, for ten years. It sort of soured the of human kindness In your natural makeup.

Then with a violent start, almost a thrill, he stared wondering at the end of the long bench.' It held another occupant than himself, a woman, fair and comely. She was asleep, and her face with closed eyes and placid Ups was turned towards him. Her silken golden tresses formed a pillow for one arm. The pellucid moonlight clearly outlined the classic features. Archer Wayne sat spellbound. Who could she be—a ven turesome tourist, belated, lost, like himself? For the first time in his life he found the opportunity to study, to analyse the face of a woman. The lines of character and loveliness at tracted him, the strangeness of the occasion enchained fancy and satisfac tion. « • Abruptly the fair blunderer sighed, opened her eyes, and then, discovering that she had a companion, arose to her feet In some trepidation. Wayne followed her example, lifting his cap courteously, with the words: M I fear yon, like myself, are a ven turesome wanderer, out of your bear ings.” His dear voice, his utter manliness reassured the lady. • She hastened to smooth her disarranged tresses, smiled la a pleased way. “If that Is your trouble, like my own,” she said sweetly, "I am glad you have come.

Egypt, India, the Ganges, the Euphrates, Asia Minor, the romance and reliquaries of oldem times held much of fascination for him. One day at an obscure town fringing on a wonderful sketch of greenery and mountain expanse, he left the tourists sojourning st some celebrated medicinal springs, shoul dered his traveling pack and strolled forth alone. The natives offered guide snd servant assistance, bufhe wished to be alone. Nature was at Its most glorious along the narrow paths. The hum of busy Insect life, the soft whis perings of the broad leaves seemed to say:. “I am nature—come into my workshop.” Wayne strolled for hours.
