In the informality of the household, she had visited K. In her dreasing gown and Plippers; and now she stood be- fore him, a tragic young figure, clutching the folds of her gown across her breast “I worship him, K.." she said, tragically. “When I see him coming, I want to get down and let bim walk on me. I know his step in the hall I know the very way he rings for the elevator. When I see him in the |operating room, cool and calm while jevery one else is flustered and ex- | elted, he—he looks like a god!" Then, half ashamed of her out: |burst, she turned her back to him |and stood gazing at the small coal fire, It was as well for K. that she | did not see his face. For that one moment the despair that was in him shone in his eyes. He glanced around the shabby little room, at the |aagging bed, the collar box, the pin Jeushion, the old marble-topped bu reau under which Reginald had for merly made his nest, at his untidy table, Uttered with pipes and books, at the image in the mirror of his own tall figure, stooped and weary. “It's real, all this?” he asked, after a pause, “You're sure it’s not just— glamour, Sidney?” “It's ‘real—torribly real!” Her voice was muffled, and he knew then that she was crying. She was mightily ashamed of it. Tears, of course, except in the pri- vacy of one's closet, were not ethi- cal on the Street. “Perhaps he cares very much, too,” "Give me a handkerchief,” said Sidney, in @ muffled tone, and the little scene was broken into while K, searched thru a bureqy drawer. Then “It'a all over, anyhow, since this. If he'd really cared he'd have come over tonight.

The next instant the door| had closed behind her, and K. was left alone to such wretchedness and blixs as the evening had brought him. On toward morning, Harriet, who slept but restlessly in her towel, wakened to the glare of his light over the transom. “K.!" she called, pettishly from her door, “I wish you wouldn't go to |sleep and let your light burn! K., surmising the towel and cold cream, had the tact not to open his door.| “I am not asleep, Harriet, and 1 am sorry about the light. It's going out now!” Before he extinguished the light, jhe walked over to the old dresser land surveyed himself in the glass, |"Two nights without sleep and much janxiety had told on him. He looked old, haggard, infinitely tired, Men tally he compared himself with Wil- son, flushed with success, erect, tri- umphant, almost insolent. Nothing had more certainly told him the hope: lossness of his love for Sidney than her good night kiss, He was her brother, her friend. He would never be her lover. He drew a long breath and proceeded, to undress in the dark: ‘ Joe Drummond carhe to see Sidney the next day. She would have avoided him if she could, but Mimi had ushered him up to the sewing room boudoir before she had time to escape, She had not seen the boy for two months, and the change in him startled her, He was thinner, rather hectic, scrupulously well dressed, “Why, Joe! she said, and then: “Won't you rit down?” He was still rather theatrical, He dramatized himself, as he had that night the June before when he had asked Sidney to marry him. He stood just inside the doorway. He offered no conventional greeting whatever; but, after surveying her briefly, her black gown, the lnes around her ey 1 behind | “You're not going back to that} you if you explode like a rocket all | the time.” Her mattar-of fact tone had its ef- fect.

It's not because you care for | me’ it's really because you care for yourself.” | “You can’t look at me and sa that, Sid!” He ran his finger around his collar —an olf gesture; but the collar was very loose. He was thin; his neck showed it. “I'm just eating my heart out for you, and that's the truth, And it isn't only that. ‘Everywhere I go, people say, “There's the fellow Sid- ney Page turned down when she| went to the hospital.’ I've got so I keep off the Street as much as I} can.” Sidney was half alarmed, half irri-/ |tated. ‘This wild, excited boy was not the doggedly faithful youth she |had always known.
