but the proprietor of business. He
had retained the first floor for his own
use. and real estate agent had rented
the other floors. He handed Pengreave
quarterly checks, and Pengreave wor-
ried no more.
He was sure Of a home, the only
home he had known. He sat at bis
window In the summer evenings and
looked across the square opposite and
gave no heed to the children swarming
In the street.
There had been few children when
he had FIRST come to Barrow street, and
those were well dressed and orderly.
Now the policeman on the beat had bis
hands full. and only Pengreaye remain

Once for nearly year he had wor-

and he had fancied himself in love.
But Lena had married junk dealer
on the corner below, and. after an I'M
quiet month. during which he drank
seidles instead OF the smaller glasses at
the Bierhalle. Pengreaye had recovered
his placidity.
Since then 1t had pleased him to be-
lieve that his life had been wrecked.
and so he kept Lena's faded photo
graph on the mantelpiece. and at times
be took 1t down and sighed over 1t;
also he avoided all feminine society.
At bis uncle's death the latter's bust
ness had passed to him. and under bis
even administration 1t had grown great

he also dined downtown. He bought a
new suit OF clothes whenever his old
cashier discreetly limited that one was
