neighbors Just at present as he might be AS
| he doesn't know any of them personally, he isn't
mourning over his low status in their esteem. but
the feeling that the little bald headed man on the
| corner may sue him for Islander at any moment
| or the twohundred pound siNfooter opposite
| may meet him face TO face some morning and
| essay physical rcprisas for certain observations
| and comments made under press Of circumstances,
| or the entire block may unite in conspiracy
to ruin his reputation by way of revenge for his
deadly parallel between population Of the block
| and the idiotic ward in an asylum, doesn't CON
duoe TO his peace OF mind and his thinking OF
moving Wors, Of all. Mrs Smith says that it's all
his fault for not being willing TO do few erranda
The few brands comprised visits to most Of
! the groceries. meat shops daries and deica
lessen stores within ten blocks radius for Mira
| Smith has a highly specific system Of marketing.
After looking the list over. Smith said that he
| was sorry but he had TO go TO the city early
| and wouldn't have time TO make the rounds but
that he would be happy TO hire half dozen mes.
| sengers boys and parcel out the job among them.
"Of course you haven't time said Mrs Smith
resgnedly, "but II everything isn't Just right
| you'll have plenty Of time to tell how ii should be-
| Any way, cant go out this morning, for l m 60
| ing to wash my hair and it'll take hours TO
| dry. I'll have to send Bridget"
| So the list was turned over TO Bridget and she
left after having warned her mistress to look out
| for the iceman.
I'VE do be ncedin' twicet as much ice tn day as
| he's bringin other days" said she, "for 10 last
| over Sunda."
| 1t always makes Mrs Smith angry for Smith
| to hint that she has a habit Of forgetfulncss,
| so she gave him look Of superior scorn in
Spouse to his suggestion that she write note and
| leave Il outside for the iCeman and said:
"Fe always gets here about noon and shall
sit down in the basement and tell him through
| the window"
1t happened. however that the iceman was late
also that Bridget. after sundry struggles with the
market list had returned to the house for further
instructions and sailed forth for the second time
Consequently Mrs. Smith was alone in the house
when the ice wagon did arrive at about o'clock
The stress Of explaining matters to Bridget
had quite driven the ice question out Of her mind
and ii while she sitting second
floor window. with her hair floating in the
breeze that she heard the long drawn call Of the
ccman below. Time was lacking for her to
reach the basement She ran to the front window,
threw open the blinds and called out:
"Iceman Oh-h Lii iceman!
But the heavy wagon was already we'll UP the
street and amidst its rumbling the iceman did
no, hear her voice. A small boy the corner
heard. He turned and looked. He beheld lady
with dishcveled hair and agonized face leaning
from window Her appearance and the long
drawn Il" in her call brought enlightenment
to the youthful brain
