Heavens knows I've tried to reform.
I've clung to the straight and
narrow path with tho tenacity with
which u drowning uiun clings to lvl
tho life line thrown him. llut somehow
or another I will swerve, and lil
then Jim Klsou gets another escap- a'
ade to write out and print. You may al
have heard of n?e; my name Is Jenkins
WH.Iain Ih Jenkins. Ill
Klson, Jones atid their party were to
in hot pursuit of me when I left LI
Tibet after the episode of the Bud- tn
dhist temple, and I decided that the to
best way to elude pursuit was to go la
right back to whero wo all belonged b<
?and where thoy would novor think ct
of looking for me. So 1 canto to rc
Boston. CJ
I walked over to Huntington Ave- p,
nue, reflecting to myself that a man 0,
with my resolution had far bettor be ^
well fed than half Btarvod, and I j,
smiled faint heartedly as 1 auto- ^
matlcally searched the empty fr
pockots.
I halted hesitatingly beforo tho jn
Criterion Club and wondered where
I should get that meal, and I Idly jV
watched the woll dresHud men pass
in and out the brightly Illuminated ("
doorway, wuen suddenly I bethought S,1
myself of a plan. My clothes might (
look worse. I wore a cutaway?its 11
style was recont. To bo sure, my 111
collar was a little soiled my
cuffs frayed, and I had lost tho heel u
of a shoo, hut why not? j(J
I ascendod tho Btops briskly and ''
entered the wide vestibule. My over ti<
coat wna takon from mo In nn In- V
stnnt, nnd I passed Into what 1 took h<
to bo a writing room. 1 stared jr
around curiously?trying not to bo- tr
trav any sign that I was unaccus- s<
tomod to the place and was there- it
for? a little dlsquiotod when 1 la
found a man gazing at mo fixedly j,l
from a shaded corner. I walked to- _
ward him easily, and coolly halted a h;
few steps from his chair, surveying
the groups around me with apparent
tranquility. To my further disquietude,
he arose and approached. H
"Mr. llobblns?our now member?"
ho asked Interrogatively. 1
nodded the name gave me an opening?but
my sompnnlon seemed almost
astonished at my affirmative. 11
He hesitated for a mcjment. "1 be- Ii:
lievo I mot you the other night," he
said slowly. a
"1 remember now," I replied. "I ^
have met so many these first few m
weeks that v-u" ' n <* < ? mv K1

1 thanked heaven that the doubt- T
ful look disappeared from his face. b
'Yes!" ho cried "And 1 think I n
owe you a dinner. Remember? p
Suppose you claim your bet to- it
night?" n,
"Can't say that T do remember," 1 R
replied, smiling Inwardly, "but If ti
you want to pay u debt, I'll accept, t
I'll loso to you another time," and 1 <,
followed him to the club dining ;i
room. "Luck." I cried to myself. s(
