Just unhook. ‘I'll shove her back.” Wally detached his wheeled chair| from his stand, a sort of little store on casters, from which he sold chewing gum, tobacco and sealed candies. The policeman pushed it against the wall of the building as Wally trundled himself quickly around the corner. He was just in time to get into the bank. Half a dozen friendly greetings met him as he rolled down to the W window.

All the next day Wally felt warm and happy, His content must have commu- nicated itself to the passersby, for he sold himself out of goods three times. Bill was to be operated on at 2 o'clock, and Wally had not the slightest doubt of a successful issue. Of course, he would come out all right. Bill always did, even that time he turned over in the arroyo with a grand piano, the time the bridge gave way. Nothing could go very wrong with Bill, Wally could not have formulated what it was about Bill that made people love him. Maybe it was because he was just so spilling over with heaith and energy and good will. Morning after morning for two years now Wally had listened for bis voice, had watched for his great, swaying van as it swung around Wally's corner. ‘Why, he seemed to hear Bill's volce this afterncon as the rush hour began and the 5 o'clock crowds com- menced pouring down the avenue. “Moving out to the boylevard today, it was Bill's best joke. He always aintained that Wally should ply his trade along the bridle paths and sell all-day suckers fo the flappers. And at night a tired but still grinning Bill, he would stop and buy gum or candy for the “kids”—the younger brother and ax sister that he supported. That was all Wally had ever seen of Bill, that morning and evening contact on a crowded corner. To Wally it was more precious than fine gold.
