CHAPTER l.

The Street stretched away north
and south in two lines Of ancient
houses that seemed to meet in the dis
lance. 1t had the well-worn look Of an
old coat, shabby but comfortable. 1t
was an impression Of home, really,
that 1t gave. There was house across
and little way down the Street, with
q card in the window that said: meals,
twenty-five cents" The Nottingham
curtains were pinned back, and just In
side the window throaty baritone was
singing:
Home is the hunter, home from the hill;
And the sailor, home from the sea.
For perhaps an hour Joe Drummond
had been wandering down the Street.
His slender shoulders, squared and
resolute at eight, by nine had taken on
a dlsconsoate droop. Prayer meet
ing ut the corner church was over; the
Street emptied. The boy wiped the
warm band Of his hat and slapped 1t
on his head again, All!
Across tie Street, under an old allan
thus tree, was the house he watched, n
small brick, with shallow wooden steps
and-curlous architecture Of the Mid
die West sixties-a wooden cellar door
beside the steps. In some curious way
II preserved an air Of distinction among
Its newer and more pretentious neigh
bors. The taller houses had an appear
ance of protection rather than Of pat
rOnage. II was a matter of self-respect,
perhaps. No windows on the Street
were so spotlessly curtained, no door
mat so accurately placed, no "yard" In
the rear SO tidy with morning-glory
vines over the whltewashed fence.
The June moon had risen. When the
girl came out ut last, she stepped out
into world of soft lights and waver-
Ing shadows. fragrant with tree bios
sons hushcd Of It's daylight sounds.
/ The house had been warm. Her brown
hair lay moist on her forehead, her thin
! white dress was turned In at the
throat. She stood on the steps and
threw out her arms In n swift gesture
to the cool air. From across the Street
the boy watched her with adoring
humble eyes. All his courage was for
those hours when he was not with her
Hello, joe
'iIello. Sidney"
He crossed over, emerging out Of the
shadows into her envcloplng radiance
His ardent young eyes wor,hlped her

"Oh, that's all right"
