CHAPTER XXI.

At least IT may be claimed for
George that his last night In the house
where he had been born was not oc-
cupied with his own disheartening fu-
ture, but with sorrow for what sac
rifices his pride and youth had de
manded of others. And early in the
morning he came downstairs and tried
to help Fanny make coffee on the
Kitchen range.
There was something | wanted TO
say 10 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. neutrality-suspicious.
perhaps we'd better get the-the
things moved TO the little new home
first, George. Let's"
He interrupted quietly, though at
her phrase, the little new home" his
pungent impulse was 10 utter one loud
shout and run. lit was about this new
place that l wanted to speak. I've

] want you TO take all the things
from mothers room and use them and

little apartment will be just what you

or anyone else. being much attached to
me, So"
He stopped in Amusement: no chair
had been left in the kitchen. but
Fanny gave a despairing glance around
her in search of one. tl-en sank abb
ruptly and sat fiat upon the floor.
What on earth" George sprang
to her. Get up. Aunt Fanny"
Il can't. I'm too weak. Let me
alone, Georget" And as he released
the wrist he had seized to help her she
uttered the dismal prophecy which for
days she had been matching against
her hopes: You're gong TO leave
me-in the lurch -
'Why no. Aunt Fanny" he protest
ed. AT first I'd have been something
of a burden on you. I'm TO get eight
dollars a week; about thirty-two a
month. The rents thirty-six dollars a
month. and the table d'hOte dinner
runs up TO over twenty-five dollars
apiece. so with my half of the rent

nothing left out of my salary TO pay
my share of the groceries for all the
breakfasts and luncheons. You see

work and cooking. but you'd be paying
more of the expenses than l would"
She stared at him with such a for
Iorn darkness as he had never seen.
