creature, also suffered an abrupt
transformation. Came down from
her high horse, lowered her nose
and chin, inspected Bill Talcott
with a new light in her wide gray-
blue eyes. It made him uncomfort-
able, because each time he hap-
pened to glance in her direction
she would blush and glance hastily
away. This was a new problem;
vaguely he wished she would keep
on acting as a spoiled brat because
that way he knew, or thought he
) did, how to handle her.
Martha Swenson’s attitude had
changed, too1. Because she knew
he was in trouble of some kind her
sympathies were aroused. There
was a new glow of warmth in her
dark eyes and by accident or de-
sign he found her nearer to him;
heard her low, disturbing voice di-
rected to him more frequently. The
change was startling, and he dis-
covered it was a change he rather
liked.
Struthers didn’t . come down to
see them off. Another conference
with Halsey and transfer of the
precious envelope had wound him
up. The last time Talcott saw him
he was headed for the office. Even
Halsey had been a little nettled.
Talcott had overheard him confid-
ing to June Paterson that some-
times people took themselves en-
tirely too seriously.
To Talcott himself, Halsey had
nothing to say. Plainly embar-
rassed he was over the way in
which his handling of the trans-
portation problem had turned out.
Once in the launch he sat by June
Paterson and maintained glum

TUNE PATERSON laughed easily.
J As swift and unpredictable as
the wind, her mood was off on
another track.. “I remember," she
said softly, “when I was a very
little girl. We lived in the central
part of New York State, and in the
fall we would always go on pic-
nics. Uncle Jack, Lowell’s father,
had a big farm and there was a
huge woodlot with a wonderful
brook meandering through it. We
used to ramble through the woods,
gathering butternuts and chestnuts
to roast over the fire Uncle Jack
and daddy had built on a slope of
rock by the brook.
“One day Lowell and I decided
that we wanted to go swimming
and the brook was much too shal-
low. So while mother and Aunt
Ida and my sisters and cousins
were laying out the food on blank-
ets, and daddy and Uncle Jack
and the other men were smoking
their pipes and talking about the
county fair and harness racing
and crops, Lowell and I built a

FAREWELL TO ABAS
CHAPTER XIII
BILL TALCOTT'S change of
manner had one immediate if
unforeseen effect. It scared the
daylights out of Professor Con-
stantine.
Apparently Martha Swenson had
said something to the Professor
about BiU Talcott’s being a “po-
leetical” prisoner, and he had stu-
diously remained out of the. way.
But as a member of the group as-
sembled on the pier he couldn’t
very well avoid Talcott, and when
orders crackled from the deposed
boss’s lips he acted as if he ex-
pected knives and blackjacks to
appear in an encore of his entry
to Abas Island. When the launch
came alongside, the Professor was
first board, stowing himself as far
forward as the confines of space
would allow. And there he barri-
caded himself with luggage, mut-
tering and munching pills.
June Paterson, unpredictable

(NLY black Tomas remained on
• the pier to watch them go.
The massive native was proudly
erect, accepting his new responsi-
bility with greatest dignity. As the
churning wake widened the dis-
tance between them Bill Talcott
realized suddenly that he was not
going away, that in truth he had
never really been there. Physi-
cally, yes. His body had existed on
Abas Island. He had followed a
routine, had worked, produced,
eaten, slept and sometimes played.
But he had never truly been a part
of Abas.
He had brought his own world
with him, his customs, traditions,
thoughts and inhibitions. That [
world he had never left behind;
had worn it all the while as a suit
of armor. Of Abas he had never
been and could never be a part. He
and his kind could come here for
a hundred or a thousand years,
but Abas would always belong to
the men of whom huge, patient,
childlike Tomas was a symbolic
figure.
The great brassy ball of the sun
dropped into the sea. Brief twi-
light and then the moon, which
had been high in the heavens since
3 o'clock, took on ghostly radiance.
Low clouds moved swiftly in the
brisk northeast trades.
Under the expert hand of Se-
bastien the sturdy launch ate up
the miles in quiet, vibrationless
performance. “What time will we
get in?” Halsey asked Bill Talcott
in his first direct approach since
quitting the pier.
“I’d say at 4 o’clock or so.”
“Four! Will we be able to get
hotel accommodations?”
“I don’t know. At worst, we
can pass the few remaining hours
in the launch.”
June Paterson had lighted a
cigaret and behind its glowing tip
her eyes smoldered. “You don’t
seem to worry much about the
comfort of your guests,” she mur-
mured in another abrupt, shift to
flippancy.
“In any event we can’t land un-
til we’ve had permission' from the
harbormaster,” Talcott answered
patiently. “We’ll have to clear
