Part 12
“I guess mebbe I’d better change my clothes, while I have a chance,” he said. “I don’t want anyone else to have to do it for me, and I want to look all right when the thing comes off.”
A new guard came up to the door, unlocked it and came in. He nodded to Hank and told him he must go.
“His breakfast is just comin’ up and it’s against the rules to have anyone here at the time. The priest will come to see him after he gets through eatin’.”
Over in the corridor where Hank had seen the beams and lumber he could hear the murmur of muffled voices, evidently talking about the work. Along the corridor two waiters in white coats were bringing great trays filled with steaming food.
Slowly Hank turned to Jim and took his hand.
“Well, old fellow,” he said, “I’ve got to go. I see you’re all right, but take that Scotch whiskey when it comes; it won’t do you any hurt. I’ll look after everything just as I said. Good-bye.”
Jim seemed hardly to hear Hank’s farewell words.
“Well, good-bye.”
Hank went outside the door and the guard closed and locked it as he turned away.
Then Jim got up from his chair and stumbled to the door.
“Hank! Hank! S’pose—you—stop at the—telegraph—office—the Western Union— and the—Postal—all of ‘em—mebbe—might—be somethin’——”
“All right,” Hank called back, “I will! I will!—I’ll go to both to make sure if there’s anything there; and I’ll telephone you by the time you’ve got through eatin’.”

These books are helping thousands of people to understand themselves and others. Here are the facts, written by authorities—by psychologists, sociologists, physicians, and scientists. These books can be depended upon. There is nothing in these books to harm anyone, nothing to create any wrong ideas about life. The whole viewpoint is modern, sane, and healthful. These books foster a wholesome outlook on life, and at the same time give the facts everyone should know in a way which everyone can understand.
Some of the eminent authorities who have prepared the text for these books are Havelock Ellis, the famous English expert on sexual psychology; James Oppenheim, a N.Y. practicing psycho-analyst; William J. Fielding, well-known for his recent book, “Sex and the Love-Life”; Dr. Morris Fishbein of the American Medical Association; Dr. Joseph H. Greer; Dr. Wilfrid Lay; Dr. Charles Reed; Professor C. L. Fenton, etc. Do not hesitate to rely upon these books; they are thoroughly up to date, containing the latest facts available.
50 Volumes-–750,000 Words
Each of these books contains about 15,000 words of text, making 750,000 words in all. The books are of a convenient size (3½ × 5 inches) to fit the pocket, average 64 pages each, have easily readable type, and are bound in substantial stiff card covers. If these books were issued in ordinary library form they would cost from $25 to $30 for the set.
