CHAPTER xxvI.

Late September had come. The Street had been furiously busy for a month. The cobblestones had gone, and from curb to curb stretched smooth asphalt. To this general excitement the strange case of Mr. Le Moyne had added it's quota. One day he was in the gas office, making out statements that were absolutely ridiculous. And

 'The man who did his best Is quite real. You have always done your best in your work; you always will. But the other is part of you too. Max. Even if I cared, I would not dare to run the risk"
 She took step toward the door, hesitated, came back, and put q light hand on his shoulder.
 ''Im sorry, dear Max"
 She had kissed him lightly on the cheek before he knew what she intend ed to do. So passionless was the little caress that, perhaps more than any thing else, it typified the change in their relation.
 When the deor closed behind her, he saw that she had left her ring on the arm of his chair. He picked 1t up. It was still warm from her finger He held it to his lips with a quick gesture. In all his successful life he had never before felt the bitterness of failure. The very warmth of the little ring hurt.
 Why hadn't they let him die? He didn't want to live-he wouldn't live. Nobody cared for him He would
 His eyes, lifted from the ring, fell on the red glow of the roses that had come that morning. Even in the half light, they glowed with fiery color.
 The ring was in his right hand. With the left he settled his collar and soft silk tie.
 K. saw Carlotta that evening for the last time. Katie brought word to him, where he was helping Harriet close her trunk-she was on her way to Europe for the fall styles-that he was wanted in the lower hall.
 "A lady!" she said, closing the door behind her by way of caution. And q good thing for her she's not from the alley. The way those people beg off you is sin and shame, and it's not at home you're going to be to them from now on.'
 So K. had put on his coat and, with out so much us glance in Harriet's mirror, had gone down the stairs. Car lotta stood under the chandelier, and he saw at once the ravages that trou- ble had made in her. She was a dead white, and she looked ten years older than her age.
 T came, you see, Doctor Edwardes." Evidently she found it hard to speak.
 'You were to come" K. encouraged hn,. thing for you. Now, think I've got it. You know, of course, that closed my hospital. They are trying to persuade me to go back, and-I'm trying to per suade myself that I'm fit to go back. You ee,"-his tone was determinedly cheerful-"my faith in myself has been pretty nearly gone. When one loses that, there isn't much left"
 You had been very successful" She did not look up.
 "Wel1, l had and I hadn't. Pm not going to worry you about that. My offer is this: We'll just try to forget about-about Sehwitter's and all the rest, and if go back I'll take you on in the operating room."
 '"You sent me away once!"
 "Well, can ask you to come back, can't IF" He smiled at her encour- agingly.
 Are you sure you understand about Max Wilson and myself?"

the next there was the news that Mir. Le Moyne had been only taking holi- day in the gas office and that he was really very great surgeon and had saved Dr. Max Wilson.
 The Street, which was busy at the time deciding whether to leave the old sidewalks or to put down cement ones, had one evening of mad excitement over the matter-of K, not the side walks-and then had accepted the new situation.
 But over the news of Ks approach ing departure 1t mourned.
