Old Frank gave him a long stare. At
first this scrutiny was sharply incred-
ulous; then it was grave; finally it de-
veloped into a threat of overwhelming
laughter; a forked vein in his fore
head became more visible and his eyes
seemed about to protrude.
But he controlled his impulse; and,
rising, took up his hat and o%vercoat.
"All right" he said. eff you'll prom
Use not to get blown up, I'll go with

amazed that he did mean it, he added:

And If space itself can be haunted,
sas memory is haunted, then some time,
when the space that was Isabel's room
came to be made into the small bed
rooms and "kitchenettes" already de-
signed as its destiny, that space might
well be haunted and the new occupants
som to feel that some seemingly
czuseless depression hung about tia
wrath Of the passion that filled it
throughout the last night that George
HEInafer spent there.
Whatever remnants of the old high
BANDED arrogance were still within
him. he did penance for his deepest
sin that highland it may be that to
this day some impressiOnable, over
worked woman in a "kitchenette,"
after turning out the light, will seem

CHAPTER XXI.

They found the job. 1t needed ar
apprenticeship of only six weeks, dur
ing which period George was to re-
ceive fifteen dollars a week; after
that he would get t~wenty-eight. This
settled the apartment question, and
Fanny was presently established in a
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 o III pilgrimage.
1t was a misty morning of belated
now 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 "Amberson block" but this was
only a shadow. The old structure had
not been replaced, bait 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 vas a long
bill board sign: "Doogan Storage"
To spare himself, he went out Ma
tional avenue and saw the piles of
s~lush-covered wreckage where the
Mansion and his mothers house
had been, and where the Majors i'll
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 vas 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 me upon
which should have been stenciled
ANDERSON boulevard" exhibited the
words 'Tenth street"
George stared at it 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

That Night.

fure. but with sorrow for what sac
rifices his pride and youth had de-
Inanded of others. And early in the
morning he came downstairs and tried
20 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,
sand that was why she had been more
and more nervous. Neutrality-suspicious.
perhaps we'd better get the-the
things moved to the little new home
Glrst, George. Let's"
He interrupted quietly, though at
her phrase, "the little new home" his
2ungent impulse was to utter one loud
shout and run. SIT was about this new
place that I wanted to speak. I've
been thinking it over and I've decided.
u want you to take all the things
from mothers room and use them and
keep them for me, and I'm sure the
little apartment will be just what you
Hike and with the extra bedroom prob
ably you could find some woman
friend to come and live there and
: share the expense with you. But I've
decided on another arrangement for
myself, and SO Pm not going with you.
II don't suppose you'll mind much, and
e don't see why you should mind-par-
sfruIariy, that is. / can't imagine you,
s0r anyone else. being much attached to
she. So"
He stopped in amazement: no chair
mad been left in the Kitchen, but
Fanny gave a d~espairing glance around
Fter in search Of one, then sank abb
Euptiy and sat fiat upon the floor.
@sVhat on earth George sprang
40 her. "Get up, Aunt Fanny"
II can't. I'm too weak. Let me
alone. Georget' And as he released
4ke wrist he had seized to help her she
'urtered the dismal prophecy which fol
days she had been matching against
her hopes: you're going to leave
Rne-sn the Iurch!"
Why no, Aunt Fanny he protest
csd- @At first I'd have been something

sign. ID them" he said finally, and,
turning up his coat collar, plodded
back through the soggy streets toward
"home."
The unitarian impudence Of the city
authorities put a thought into his mind.
A week earlier he had happened to
stroll into the large parior Of the
apartment house, finding 1t empty, and
on the comfortable he noticed a large,
red-bound, gilt-edged book, newly
printed. bearing the title: "a Civic

England, is not only powerful but she is
crafty. America should not need to be
reminded of this. While Mr.. Wilson
claims he is working for "world wide de-
mocracy," England is working for more
land, more power, more commanding
position. IN short to rule the world.
knowing what England is and what her
ambition is, America should be wary of

made by England, for the benefit of Eng
land not for the benefit of the United
