The Street, |rather snobbish to its occasional 'foating population, was accepting and liking him. It found him tender, infinitely human.

The elder Rosenfeld having been “sent up.” It was K, who discovered that by having him consigned to the workhouse his fam- ily would receive from the county some 65 cents a day for his labor.

K. made no further attempt to avoid Max Wilson, Some day they would meet face to face. He hoped, when it happened, they two might be alone; that was all. Even had he not been bound by his promise to Signey, flight would have been foolish. The world was a small place, and, one way and another, he had known many people. Wherever he went, there would be the same chance, And he did not deceive himself. Other things being equal—the eddy and all that it meant—he would not willingly take bimaelf out of his small share of Sidney's life, She was never to know what she meant to him, of course. He had scourged his heart until it no longer shone in his eyes when he looked at her. But he was very human--not at all meek. ‘There were plenty of days when his philowophy lay in the dust and savage dogs of jealousy tore at it; more than. one evening when he threw himself f: down ward on the bed and, Jay without moving tor hours.

With the sunset Anna seemed better. She in sisted on coming downstairs, and even sat with them on the balcony until the stars came out, lking of Christine's trousseau, and, rather fretfully, of what she would do with out the parlors. “You shall have your own boudoir upstairs,” said Sidney, valiantly. “Katie can carry your tray up there.
