Here was MS UP, ana WITH d gr1n
of triumph Fenton was round the
corner in an instant preparing for
his representation. He dented in
his derby, he removed one arm
from its sleeve and buttoned the
coat over it. He tousled his hair,
he rubbed a handful of street dust
into his visage. Then, assuming a
woebegone expression, he slouched
back and sat down on the sidewalk,
letting the outstretched hat and
empty sleeve proclaim his false
state. The chances of the game
excited him. For the nonce he
enjoyed it as a gambler thrills at
the turn of a card. Who would
succor him?
He watched the paSsersby eager
ly, giving pleading, p1aintive look
at every well dressed pedestrian.
Couples passed him. laughing, men
in fashionable attire and women
wonderfully gowned-passed and
paid no heed. Men about town,
the districts FOUNDERS, showgirls
and millionaires, the easy, the
spendthrift, the careless gay, all
ignored his appealing gesture.
He was discouraged and anxious
by this neglect, and had all but
decided to change his location,
when he saw wan, pale faced girl
approaching. He had time to
notice her poor little shabby suit,
spotted, frayed at the wrists and
bottom of the skirt, her shoes run
down at the heels showing hole in
her stocking. Her look had brave
attempt at courage; but her eyes
belied her. Some little actress,
down and out, wearied with the
eternal looking for positions ac-
corded others of less strict habits,
thought Fenton, as he eyed her
curiously. As she passed, she gave
him a quick look. No doubt she
read the pity in his eyes as hunger
or despair; at any rate, she stopped,
opened torn leather bag, and be-
fore Fenton. now ashamed of his
cheat, could prevent her, had
graciously dropped a dime into
his dented hat and passed on.
Fenton was about to follow her
and return the coin; for he had no
doubt it would rob her of the next
days lunch, when a policeman sud-
denly accosted him.
