CHAPTER XXI.

They found the job. 1t needed an
apprenticeship of only six weeks, dur
ing which period George was to re-
ceive fifteen dollars a week; after
that he would get twenty-eight. This
settled the apartment question, and
Fanny was presently established in
greater contentment than she had
known for a long time.
On Sunday mornings Fanny went to
church and George took long walks.
He explored the new city, and found
it hideous, especially in the early
spring, before the leaves of the shade
trees were out.
One of his Sunday walks, that
spring, he made into a sour pilgrimage.
1t was a misty morning of belated
snow slush, and suited him to a per-
lection of miserableness, as he stood
before the great dripping department
store which now occupied the big plot
of ground where once had stood both
the Anderson hotel and the ANDERSON
opera house. From there he drifted to
the old Anderson block" but this was
only a shadow. The old structure had
not been replaced, but a cavernous en-
tryway for trucks had been torn in its
front, and upon the cornice, where the
old separate metal letters had spelt
Anderson block" there was q long
bill board sign: "Doogan Storage"
To spare himself, he went out Ma

slush-covered wreckage where the
Mansion and his mothers house
had been, and where the Majors H.
fated five new" houses had stood; for
these were down, too, to make room
for the great tenement already shaped
In unending lines of foundation.
He turned away from the devastated
site. thinking bitterly that the only
Anderson mark still left upon the
town was the name of the boulevard
Anderson boulevard. But he had reck-
oned without the city council OF the
new order, and by an unpleasant coin
cidence, while the thought was still
in his mind, his eyes fell upon a metal
oblong sign upon the lamp-post at the
corner. There were two Of these little
signs upon the lamp-post, at an obtuse
angle to each other, one to give pass
ersby the name of National avenue,
the other to acquaint them with Am
berson boulevard. But the one upon
which should have been stenciled
ANDERSON boulevard exhibited the
words 'Tenth street"
George stared at 1t hard. Then he
walked quickly along the boulevard to
the next corner and looked at the little
sign there. "Tenth street."
1t had begun to rain, but George
stood unheeding, staring at the little

when the space that was Isabels room
came to be made into the small bed
rooms and "kitchenettes" already de-

well be haunted and the new occupants
come to feel that some seemingly
causeless depression hung about it-a

throughout the last night that George
Minafer spent there.
Whatever remnants of the old high

him, he did penance for his deepest

ture, but with sorrow for what sac
rifices his pride and youth had de-
handed Of others. And early in the
morning he came downstairs and tried
to help Fanny make coffee on the
kitchen range.
"There was something I wanted to
say to you last night, Aunt Fanny" he
said.
"Why-why-" she stammered; but
she knew what he was going to say,
and that was why she had been more
and more nervous. "Hadn't-perhaps
perhaps we'd better get the-the

He interrupted quietly, though at
her phrase, ''the little new home" his
pungent impulse was TO utter one loud
shout and run. "It was about this new
place that I wanted to speak. I've
been thinking it over and I've decided.

He stopped In amazement: no chair
had been left In the kitchen, but
Fanny gave despairing glance around
her In search of one, then sank alb
ruptly and sat fiat upon the floor.

The history of the .Delgado sisters was
fairy tale. They came from the poorest
Of the poor and suffered untold hardships.
At one time the sister, Maria, was selling
hot chestnuts at five for cent. Then she
found an additional way of earning pen

The family moved TO Madrid, hoping to
make more money from Naria's beauty
and talents Soon after going there Maria
danced on the top of table in an obscure
restaurant with such exquisite grace and
abandon that she created a sensation. The
proprietor engaged her to dance and the
place became celebrated. Then the Maha-
rajah, who had come to Madrid to visit
King Alfonso, and who always sees the in

The fame of the beauty OF the two sis

Winans remained constant in his devotion

Then came the difficulty of breaking
