, hand touched an empty pillow Keith
does not come home. The morning
dawns Crutchy crawls downstairs,
looking white and haggard; evidently
she has slept as little as have I. At
noon we hear the stopping of vehicle;
my husband is brought home. We paw
the men for their services, and turn to
face our grief. The money has been
too much for him-his fattering friends
too seductive; we see it all, Crutchy and
i, and sit there, silent.in our anguish.
Next morning Keith tells the story
that we, being women, intuitively
know. He gropes his way upstairs,
sober, sad, suffering, and has not had
time to more than cross the room when
may Heaven save me from ever again
hearing the sound I now hear-there
comes a shrek that resembles the cry
of lost soul / rush up the stairs,
while Crutchy follows slowly.
''It's gone! The moneys gone! I'm
robbedl-Im robbedI''
/ fall upon chair, stunned; nor do
i seem to awaken from my stupor for
hours and hours. Officers of the law,
detectives. all who can aid in the search,
come and goa baf1ed lot. The money
Is not to be found, nor any trace of it.
But the shock and my apathy arouse
my husband. Like one touched by
powerful battery, he springs into new
life, and swears, by all that he holds
holy and dear, to ba Zone with strong
drink. And know that he means it.
But Crutchy grows thinner as the
days shorten; and when the sun enters
Libra, feel that the trail tenement
will hold her but little while longer.
She feels it, too, and, nesting close,
tells me Of her gratitude.
II couldn't do much for you, dearie,'
thus she pet-names me, "but what
could, did. And when die"

low no hands but mine to touch the
dear, misshapen body, but place it, my.
self, reverently to rest
With choking sobs bid Keith fetch
the book she loved SO well; and. as he
goes to do my bidding, l place the satin
bag she asked for in her nerveless
hands.
Keith comes to me, at last, and to-
gether we open the message from the
dead, and read:
