Thus, the autumn was a season of
paramount importance to him. since
it heralded tbsf return of the field
staS and the pos-iruiry that the
Northwest rad yielded the clews he
needed.
A sharp gust of wind swirled his
eoat tails tne Professor folded the
garment closer without annoyance a
touch of frost tn the air and clear
sunshine induced a physical sense of
wellbeing that demanded analysis,
together with the opposite deduction
that it was possible to feel otherwise.

d -bted—youths of thirty-five and
forty who based their arguments on
experience that, compared with Pro
fessor Borthwick’s, was insignificant.
Some of them had theories of their
own. and toward these he exercised
the courtesy and toiemnee becoming
in a man who had forgotten more
than they ever knew For the

The Professor’s autumnal elation
reasserted itself his forebodings van
