It's all right, all quite right"
She raised her head and drew herself
slowly upright: then her lips opened
in silent surprise. Johanns voice, low
and uneven though it was, had not
prepared her for his altered face. The
change was very marked; even in the
dimness OF the shop his sudden JOY
seemed TO radiate from him and sur
round him like a light; the shadow was
gene from his eyes. even his shrunken
figure had gained new dignity. He car

He looked at her confidently, as n
ci.id might have done; then turned 70
the desk, opened it and drew out

the counter.

knew-always.
Anna glanced away, then turned again
and gazed at him searchingly. How
did you know
How? You wrote it." He pointed to
the slate.
Anna turned and walked the length
of the shop There is some faith before
which we stand aghast. AT the street
door she turned again and moved slowly
back.
Johann, there is something l want
to say-now, at the very first" The
warmth was oppressive; she passed her
hand over her forehead. I'm not like

drew away his hand and walked to the
door.
'Maurice"
He turned back.
She was leaning against the mantel-
piece. Her eyes cleaned; there was z
valiant attempt at irony in the set OF
her lips, but her arms hung stiffly by
her sides.
'1f were the religious sort, Maurice

Johann made a step toward her. but
she warned him back.

She passed backwards and forwards
across the shop.
Johann's eyes never left her face
But you are glad to be back? Glad

his voice.
'Of coursei OF course" She turned
to him with sharp unnecessary empha-
sis; then, fearing to pause on the words
she went on again. Il have done every

sat old Solny. In the bright sunlight
his face had a yellow tinge; the hol-
lowness Of his cheeks and the bones
in MS hands were startlingly noticeable;
across his knees. from side to side OF
the bed. ran a deal board forming a
ledge, and raised upon this TO a toler-
able height was a card-house. erected
with infinite care. AS the door opened
he placed the last card-a much-thumb-
ed ace-and without looking up raised
his hand warningly.
Johann tiptoed across the room and
stood beside the bed; very slowly Solny
raised his head and smiled in a vacant
way.
.Zenia has gone out" he said, allud-
ing TO the wife who had been dead for
more than twenty years. Zenia has
left the little one to me-" He indicated
the other side of the bed. I'VE have
been amusing each other; 1 have built
her a house Of cards. Be careful, Jo-

He put out his arm with pitifully
gentle motion and appeared TO touch
sonething-a head or hand visible te
him alone.
..She grows, Johann. eh?'
Johann shuffled with his feet
..She grows? She will be tall-as tai
as her mother. but never so beautiful
she will be very tall. master
"Sor" Solny nodded once or twice
and quietly altered the top story OF his
card-house. From long practice he ha'
brought the feat of balancing 10 muci

squares seemed too heavy for his ema
ciated hands, and he was forced to res
many times before even the simples
structure was complete.
Annals heart contracted as sh

his hand afresh, and his vague eyes
suddenly filed with tears. She IS the

he sank weakly back

words were disjointed. In great trepl-
