Motormen banged their gongs peevishly, chauf- | feurs honked inquiringly. But Tim looked neither to the right nor the left; he hastened to the old lady on the curb. “You want to cross, ma'am?”’ he asked, with his sunny smile, and of- fered his arm, The old lady took it gratefully. “I suppose a lame old woman has no business on this busy street,” she said, a little breathlessly. “Sure, and you have, ma'am,” re- turned Tim, stoutly. “Take your time an’ don't slip. 'Tis bad footing.” ‘; “Thank you, young man; you're the | first person I've met since I left home | that wasn't in a hurry. The city's l; dreadful place!" | “It is so, ma'am,” agreed Tim, 80 | berly.

The next day after his quarrel with Sheila he ruled his little kingdom with the impartial excellence of Solo- mon, albeit it was all done subcon- sciously. The warning whistle blew and traffic stopped. With one hand he held three converging strands; a gesture of the other and the fourth thread worked its way through. Then he shuttled the others back and forth with the calm confidence of the weav- ! er who carries his design ever before him. His thoughts were not on his work. Everywhere he looked he saw Sheila’s blue eyes blazing with anger, clouded with tears. Every sound resclved itself into Shella's voice. “You're a | brute, Tim Moloney!"
