clung to the seat and stared, his eyes pop

they approached Olive Street. Again the
banners huttered before his dazzled eyes.
He had ordered this detour to show himself

Ziola looked tragic. then beautiful light
dawned over her face : / wish Leo well;

Salvador sniffed he was touched, but, like
Beppo, he was a tight wad.

Salvador leant forward suddenly petrihed,
and peered into her hand. They remained
so for some seconds, Ziola with her left
arm extended, the sparkling crystal in the
rosy palm, and Salvador bending toward
her, his neck craned like an old turtles
thrust out of its shell. His eyes were glued
to the stone; visible quiver rppled over his
person.

Beppo grumbIed, looked about for a

went out without btslowing another glance

Salvador watched his feet ascending the
area steps, then he took up the shoes and
carefully spat into first one and then the
other before he pitched them into the cor
ner. After that he took the half sheet of the
newspaper that had wrapped them and
spread it out on his knees; it was the adver-
tisement sheet and he fourd the name Of
large motor establishment and industriously
read the price list. Salvator's dream was
TO make fortune and ride in motor-car;
he had been a worm long time. We all
have our dreams; this was his. 1t pos
sessed him sometimes with the poignant
anguish of passion; he longed for a
motor as fiercely as an old woman longs
for spring onions.
He was still reading when Ziola Mar
esca appeared in the area. She was an
Italian and eighteen; she looked like a
beautiful ripe nectarine with the bloom on
it. Her eyes were like velvet, and vivid
