CHANCES AS WIND-UP COMES
With. the shouting, band-playing,
stalling and mud-slinging practically
over, politicians are taking stock Of
their primary chances.
The Roger Sullivan crowd, forced
into the open by a sizzling attack
made by Carter Harrison, Sen. Lewis
and other anti-Sullivan men, have
tipped their mitt to their plan to knife
Gov. Dunno for William B. Brinton.
They made an effort to keep the
doubIe-cross concealed until the last
minute for fear of hurting the Roger
Sullivan men on the county ticket.
But it's out.
It is quite likely that about 80 per
cent of the Sullivan strength will go
to Brinton, which will undoubtedly
make him formidable candidate for
the nomination for governor. But
DUNES friends figure; even though
they admit Dunno was caught asleep,
that the governor has a strong fol-
lowing downstate, should carry Cook
county in spite OF the Sullivan we'll
oiled machine and will get the big
part of the labor vote and the initia-
tive and referendum advocates.

CHAPTER II.

Sidney could not remember when
her Aunt Harriet had not sat at the
'able. 1t was one Of her earliest dis
;llusionmcnts to learn that Aunt Ilar-
riet lived with them, not because she
wished to, but because Sidney's father
had borrowed her small patrmony and
she was boarding it out"
Eighteen years she had "bOarded it
out" Sidney had been born and
had gone to his grave, with valuable
patents lost for lack of money to re-
new thenl-gone with his faith in him
self destroyed, but with his faith in
the world undlniniShcd-fOr he left his
wife and daughter without dollar of
life insurance.
Harriet Kennedy had voiced her own
view of the matter, the day after the
funeral. to one of her neighbors:
"He left no insurance. Why should
he bother? He left me"
TO the little widow, her sister, she
mad been no less bitter, and more ex.
plicit.
1t looks to me, Anna," she said, "as

George had bought me, body and soul,
for the rest of my natural life. I'll
stay now until Sidney is able to take
hold. Then I'm going to live my own
life. 1t will be little late, but the
kennedy's live a long time"
The day of Harriet's leaving had
seemed far away to Anna Page. Sid.
ney was still her baby. She had given
up her dolls, but she still made clothes
for them out of scraps from Harri.t's
sewing room. In the parlance of the
Street, Harriet "sewed"-and sewed
well.
She had taken Anna into business
with her, but the burden of the pnrt-
nership had always been on Harriet.
To give her credit, she had not com
planned. She was past forty by that
time, and her youth had slipped by in
that back room with its dingy WALL
paper covered with paper patterns.
On the day after the arrival of the
roomer, Harriet Kennedy came down
to breakfast little late. Katie, the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES girl, was serving
breakfast. Mrs. Page, who had taken
advantage of Harriet's hardness to
read the obituary column In the morn

CHAPTER !.

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 it gave. There was house across
and little way down the Street, with
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 discOnsolate droop. Prayer meet
ing at the corner church was over; the
Street emptied. The boy wiped the
warm band of his hat and slapped it
on his head again. All!
Across the Street, under an old allan.
thus tree, was the house he watched, a
small brick, with shallow wooden steps
and-curiOus architecture of the Mid
die West sixties-a wooden cellar door
beside the steps. In some curious way
1t 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. It was 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 whitewashed fence.
The June moon had risen. When the
girl came out at last she stepped out
into world Of soft lights and waver-
Ing shadows, fragrant with tree BIOS
SONS hushed of it's daylight sounds.
The house had been warm. Her brown
hair lay moist on her forehead, h E thin
white dress was turned in at the
throat. She stood on the steps and
threw out her arms in q 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"
"Hello, Sidney"
He crossed over, emerging out of the
shadows into her enveloping radiance.
His ardent young eyes worshiped her
as he stood on the pavement.
I'm late. I was taking out hastings
for MOTHER
"Oh, that's all right"
Sidney sat down on the doorstep, and
the boy dropped at her feet. She set
tied herself more comfortably and
drew long breath.
"How tired am! OH haven't told
you. We've taken roomer!" She
was half apologize. The Street did

The roomer looked very warm. He
carried q suitcase, which was as it
should be. The men of the Street al
ways carried their own luggage, except
the younger Wilson across the way.
His tastes were known to be luxurious.
"Hot, isn't it?" Sidney inquired,
after formal greeting. She indicated
the place on the step just vacated by
Joe. "You'd better cool off out here.
The house is like an oven. i think I
should have warned you of that before
you took the room. These little houses
with low roofs are fearfully hot"
The new roomer hesitated. He did
not care to establish any relations with
the people in the house. Long eve
nings in which to read, quiet nights in
which to sleep and forget-these were
the things he had come for.
But Sidney had moved over and was
smiling up at him. He folded up awk-
wardly on the low step. He seemed
much too big for the house. Sidney
had panicky thought of the little
room upstairs.
Il don't mind heat. IL suppose I
don't think about it." said the roomer.
rather surprised at himself.
I'm afraid you'll be sorry you took
the room.''
The roomer smiled in the shadow.
I'm beginning to think that you are
sorry
His quick mind grasped the fact that
1t was the girls bedroom he had taken.
Other things he had gathered that aft.
ernoon from the humming of a sewing
machine, from Sidney's businesslike
way of renting the little room, from
the glimpse Of woman in a sunny
window, bent over a needle. Genteel
poverty was what 1t meant, and more
the constant drain of disheartened,
middle-aged women on the youth and
courage Of the girl beside him.
X. LIE Moyne, who was living his
own tragedy those days, what with
poverty and other things, swore u quiet
oath to be no further weight on the
girls buoyant spirit. He had no in
tention Of letting the Street encroach
on him. He had built up a wall be-
tween himself and the rest OF the
world, and he would not scale 1t. But
he held no grudge against 1t. Let 9th.
crs get what they could out Of living.
Sidney, suddenly practical, broke in
on his thoughts:
"Where are you going to get your
meals7"
II hadn't thought about it. I can
stop in somewhere on my way down.
town. work in the gas ofi1ce-I don't
believe told you"
Its very bad for you," said Sidney,
with decision. 1T leads to slovenly
habits, such as going without when
you're in a hurry, and that sort Of
thing. The only thing is to have some
one expecting you at certain time."
1T sounds like marriage" He was
lazily amused.
1T sounds like Mrs. McKee's board
ing house at the corner. Twenty-one
meals for five dollars, and your ticket
is good until it is punched. But Mrs.
Mckee doesn't like it If you MISS"
"Mrs. Mckee for me-" said lie Moyne,
II dare say I'll be fairly regular to my
meals"
It was growing late. The Street,
which mistrusted night air, even on
q hot summer evening. was closing its
