‘FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1940 TRE KEY WEST CITIZEN. | LITTLE Chapter One The Shortest Street RENDA; dismissing her taxicab, gazéd about | her incredulously. This | the shortest street, that enchanted scene of Aunt Anne’s girlhood! It could not be! And yet it was, of course. There it stretched, only one block long, closed on the south by a smail park, on the north by a rusty iron tence behind which mouldered an old brick mansion, long deserted. Here were the three houses fac- ing west, the seven smaller ones opposite which caught the morn- ing sun. Ten homes and Bren- da knew by hearsay who lived in them all. “But Dr. Wilson’s has a con- servatory, and the VanNess’s a fountain, and there’s an enormous block of pure marble with Burn- ham carved on it in front of our Place——” Her dismayed thoughts jolted to| a sudden stop. Here wa: a block with Burnham on it indeed; but it was neither large nor of marble. It was a dingy thing of chipped cement, slewed rakishly sidewise perhaps by some skidding truck. The girl’s blue eyes traveled upward to the Rouse where she expected to live for- at least a year. Bewildered they identified this landmark and that, each spe- cifically as Aunt Anne had men- tioned, yet all so_unbelievably small and shabby. The paint was peeling from the four porch pil- lars. The “great” bow windows upstairs were entirely unimpres- | sive. The “formal planting of| shrubbery” edging the walk from eet to house was merely an un- pruned mass of dusty green For a moment Brenda’s heart failed her. She could not, she need not, climb the steps and ring the / bell! No one had met her train in spite of the many letters Aunt] Anne and Mrs. Rosttetor had ex-| telegram which tual arrival. What neither aunt nor niece had realized was that more than twenty-five years had elapsed} since the older woman had lived | on the shortest street. “Tl find a drugstore and tele- phone for a taxi,” Brenda planned feverishly. “Tll go to a hotel un- til I discover the right sort of boardinghouse.

Patience was not a Burnham virtue. A chair creaked protestingly somewhere abeve. Footsteps| sounded, an annovéd masculine voice spoke from the landing. “We're taking all the-magazines we can possibly read. And we don’t want the Magic Dishcloth, any sort of broom or mop, or books on the care of children.” | “That is fortunate.” replied the new arrival coolly, “since I have none of those things to offer.
