CHAPTER XVII.
Opposite the Cathedral.

Fifth avenue at two o'clock in the
morning Is fast asleep. There are To-
calities in New York which are more
widely awake at that hour than at
any other time of day. but the high
way Of fashion is not one OF them;
and in the neighborhood of Fiftieth
street, its repose Is as profound as at
any point Of it's long, undeviaingly
straight course.
For over an hour I had waited in
that sumptuous white marble club edI-
flee OF the plutocrats which ostenta-
tiously punctuates the avenue at Six
tieth street, and, tired Of sitting, nerv-
GUS and disappointed, | had chosen to
walk down to my rooms, believing
that the exercise in the clear, frosty
air would serve to counteract, in a
measure az least, all three OF these
ye1ations.
To the limit OF sight there stretched
away a double, converging chain OF
! twin lights marking the curb line for
endless blocks. and Illuminating the
I nearer sidewalk and roadway. II not
to effulgence, certainly with a clearly
/ defining radiance. Now and then !
met a quick-stepping pedestrian, usu.

/ hoof-beats OF the hard-driyen horse re,
sounding iarringly against the night
silence.
At Fifty-fourth street I cut diagonal
ly across the avenue to the west side
and, continuing my way southwark
absorbed in the problems confronting
me, had been for little quite lost &C
encompassing objects. Then, sudden
~. fearing lest in my abstraction
should pass the street on which M
rooms we're located, ! aroused myself
to get an idea Of my location.
Across the way the grim facade c.
the Cathedral rising dark and suller
as a fortress made all clear. But. OF
my own side Of the avenue there ha,
/ been no such distinguishing mark. III,
brown stone dwellings, monotonousl,
ugly, with their high sto0ps and balus
traded areas, were no more enlighten
ing than the stone tagging Of the side
walk or the asphalt Of the roadway
Scores Of blocks presented PRACTICAL,
the same aspect as this But as viii
critical gaze measured ore after an
other Of these combinations / was al
at once arrested by sight Of a tai
, bent figure clutching the high iron raj
