He wanted to help er. He knew that she would be neading . even such as he might have to her. and it hurt him a little that she hud turned elsewhere. At least, he supposed that she had done w0, because he had formed no i nion of her brother Bob's in- telligence and initiative or, indeed, of Alicla Mohun’s, and it was dificulf to helieve that Cherry was attempting to_cope with her problems alone. Dr. Sangree sighed as he turned the koy In the door of his apartment and ¢ntered. It had been a tiresome day. The future which for a few short weeks had beckoned so alluringly now seemed strangely sterile of pos- sibilities. He saw himself gradually aott]ing, as Dr. Bartlett had wettled, into a gray and colorless middle age, worn und daunted by small preb- Jems, when he might have been able master great ones. Six months agzo he wouldn't have thought ‘of the fugnacities of middle age; indeed he uldn't have thought of middle age at all. It might. in a sense, be said that he was born middle aged with- out knowing It He rarely thought of time, except as a means to & given end and the rs before him had been allotted one hy one to the accom- plishment _of particular intellectual tasks, made possible by the posses- sion of means which he had proposed 10 devote to the great work that he had set out to do.

David Sangree took oft his coat and hat and slowly prepared himself for the hour of relaxation beside the evening lamp. He was still in his own bachelor apartment, the lease of which did not expire until the following summer, when, as he well foresaw, he would be obliged to move into one room somewhere further up- town in accordance with the exigen- cies of his reduced income.
