His steps slowed down, and the lines of his face, already relaxed, smoothed out still more. Into the empty foreground of his life a definite figure stepped, not the figure of his master, nor the figure of that masters granddaughter, but an adorable little figure In a blue bunny suit tbe child who, In the new life he was taking up, was his first friend. He found Campbell In the latter's study a comfortable workroom opposite the dining room, at the rear of the wide central hall. The old man greeted him pleasantly, but with a suggestion of constraint. Faced by the need of putting his new acquisition to work, he was Increasingly conscious of the difficulties and embarrassments that might attend that effort. His subconscious resentment against Stanley had grown. Ills old friend, he had reasoned, had let him In for a lot of trouble and mighty little, If any, comfort. But Renshaw's appearance was reassuring. He was normal, steady-eyed- , ready for duty. Ills quiet greeting and his strong clasp of the hand that extended Campbell mechanically brought additional comfort.
