had a baby.
This foreman was named Owen
owens, and he lived at the last num-
Der on our side, where two unmar-
ried sisters kept house" for him and
sat in the Singing seat" at Zion.
Maggie thought 1t was the sisters
fault that owen Owens did not mar
~ her, so she conceived a great
scheme for "besting" them, and this
was the tragedy which, through EN-
merjane's quick little eyes and her
Cockney Welsh tongue, came to me
in instalments day by day.
When her baby was a month old
Maggie dressed it up fine" and took
it to the photographers for its card
di visit" The photographs were a
long time coming, but when they
came they were heavenly lovely" and
Maggie cried to look at them"
Then she put one in an envelope
and addressed It to Owen Owens, and
though it had only to cross the street
she went out after dark to pillar
box a long way off lest anybody
should see her posting it.

street at dusk, mothering a brood Of
her little cousins.
Afterward she became my drudge
Astonishing my floor bringing up
my coal and cleaning my CRATE for
sixpence a week. and giving me a
great deal of information about my
neighbors for nothing.
Thus she told me, speaking broad
cockney with a Welsh accent that
the people opposite We're named Wag-
static and that the creaking noise I
heard was that of a mangle, which
Mrs. Wagstaffe had to keep because
her husband was a drunkard.
But the greatest interest of this
weird little woman, who had a pre-
mature knowledge of things a child
ought not to know, was in a house
half way down the street on the 9TH
er side, where steam was always COM
ing from the open door to the front
kitchen.
The people who lived there were
named Jones. Mrs. Jones washed
and had a bed-ridden old mother
with two shillings from the parish)
and a daughter named Maggie.
Maggie Jones, who was eighteen,
and very pretty, used to work in the
dairy, but the foreman had taken
