It raged down the sidewalk and around the corner, and for a time the game of marbles was abandoned and forgotten. On the cement walk the little glass spheres reposed quietly, twinkling and waiting. They had not long to wait. Down the steps of the Philbig home came Philbig himself, tall, immaculate and with head carried high. His pol- ished shoe, descending on a red and white marble, shot into the air just as though it had been an ordinary, un- shined, day-laborer shoe. Philbig's head hit the ground a whack that echoed. There was chaos in his brain when he rose. The disturbing of his personal dignity was an insult that stirred Phil- big to the depths and moreover his hat was dented, his coat was dusty and one glove was split. This was in addition to the physical pain that he felt. His fall having scattered the marbles, Philbig was unable to deter- mine the cause of the disaster. He limped on his way with smothered rage within his breast. “Hello, old man!” said Billicks at the station and elapped Philbig on the shoulder. ’ 00000000000000000000000000 THE RAINS DESCENDED 3 [ By BREVARD MAYS CONNOR. o “Oh, if it would only rain,” she had sald wearily. Little enough to take offense at if we weigh the words one by one, and consider their simple import, but she had said it more than once that day, and the reiteration had told on the man's nerves, already strained to the dry heat.

But just now his nerves were on edge. So he whirled away angrily from the too-familiar hand. “Good- morning, sir!"” he snapped and stalked off. “Grouch!” said Billicks to himself, indignantly. Several times on the way to town he repeated the word.

Mrs. Philbig knew this, and it added to her confu- sion and wrath. “Cat!"” she said in the direction of | Mrs. Driggs. “I had begun to think she was a rather decent neighbor, but ! this shows what she is actually like.

That hateful Driggs wom- an signed the lease today for that apartment we have just decided we'd take!

Long she sat with wide-stretched eyes staring into the darkness of their | refuge, until things began to take on a dim, ghostly shape, and even the dirt wall opposite came into view.
