Sidney arrived a little after six, and from that moment the confusion in the sick room was at an end. She moved Christine from the stairs. where Katle on her numerous er rands must crawl over her; set Har riet to warming .her mother's bed and getting it ready; opened win dows, brought order and quiet. And then, with death in her eyes, she took up her position beside her mother, This waa no tine for weep- ing; that would come later. Once she turned to K., standing watch fully beside her. “I think you have known this for a long time,” she sald. And, when he did not answer, “Why did you let me stay away from her? It would have been such a little time!” “We were trying to do our best for both of you,” he replied. Anna was unconscious and sinking fast. One thought obsessed Sidney She repeated it over and over. It came as a cry from the depths of the girl's new experience. “She has had so little of life,” she said, over and over. “So little! Just this Street. She never knew any thing else!" And finally K. took it up “After all, Sidney.” he said. “the Street 18 life: the world is only snany streets. She had a great deal. She had love and content, and she had you.” Anna died a little after midnight, a quiet passing, so that only Sidney and the two men knew when she went away. It was Harriet who col lapaed. During all that long eve ning she had sat looking back over yearn of small unkindnesses. The thorn of Anna's inefficiency had al | ways rankied in her flesh. She had |been hard, uncompromising thwart- led. And now it was forever tao late, K. had watched Sidney carefully. Once he thought she was fainting, and went to her. But she shook her head. “I am all right. Do you. think you jcould get them all out of the room and let me have her alone for just a few minutes? He cleared the room, and took up his vigil outside the door, And, as he stood therq he thought of what he had said to Sidney about the Street. It was a world of its own, | Here in this very house were death | and separation; Harriet's starved life; |Christine and Palmer beginning a long and doubtful future together; himself, a failure, and an impostor. | When he opened the door again, | Sidney was standing by her mother's bed.

Pigs (ls) eas” ale tS SR aaa Outside of her small immediate circle Anna's death was hardly felt. The little house went on much as before. Harriet carried back to her business a heaviness of spirit that made it difficult to bear with the small irritations of her day. Perhaps Anna’s incapacity, which had always annoyed her, had been physical, She must have had her trouble a long time, She remembered other women of the Street who had crept thru inefficient days, and had at last laid down their burdens and closed their mild eyes, to the lasting astonish. ment of their families, What did they think about, these women, as they pottered abowt?

Palmer had | given him a man's job, and he would stick by it, no matter what came. There were’ some things that Johnny Rosenfeld did not tell his mother. There were evenings when the Howe car was Hiled, not with Christine and her friends, but with wornen of a different world; eve- nings when the destination was not a country estate, but a roadhouse; eve- nings when Johnny Rosenfeld, ousted from the driver's seat by some |drunken youth, would hold tight to the «winging car and say such frag- ments of prayers as he could re. member, Johnny Rosenfeld, who had | started life with few illusions, was in | danger of losing such as he had, | One such night Christine put in, lying wakefully in her bed, while the clock on the mantel tolled hour after hour into the night.

But, altho she knew now that he was deceiving her, as he al ways had deceived her, as probably he always would, she hesitated to confront him with what she knew.
