CHAPTER xx-cOntlnued.

And If space itself can be haunted,
rs 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
come to feel that some seemingly
causeless depression hung about tia
wrath Of the passion that filed it
throughout the last night that George
Minafer spent there.
Whatever remnants Of the old high
handed arrogance were still within
him, he did penanee for his deepest
sin that highland it may be that TO
this day some impressionabIe, over
worked woman in q "kitchenette,"
after turning out the light, will seem
20 see a young man kneeling In the
darkness, shaking cOnvulsiveIy, and,
with arms outstretched through the
wall, clutching OF the covers of a
shadOwy bed. 1t may seem to her that
she hears the faint cry, over and over:
Mother. forgive mel God, forgive

oHAPTER Il.

They found the Job. It 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 q
greater contentment than she had
known for 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.
It 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 Ind 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 cavernous en-
tryWay for trucks had been torn In its
front, and upon the eorniee, where the
old separate metal letters had speIt
ANDERSON block" there was a long
bin board sign: "Doogan Storage"
10 spare himself, he went out Ma
tional avenue and saw the piles Of
slush-covered wreckage where the
Mansion and his mothers house
had been, and where the Majors III
fated i've new" houses had stood; for
these were down, too. to make room
for the great tenement already shaped
ia 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
obiong 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 it hard. Then he
walked quickly along the boulevard to
the next corner and looked at the little |
sign there. tenth street"
It had begun to rain, but George |
stood unheeding, staring at the little |

4ure, but with sorrow for what sac
rifces 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 e
cay 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. neutrality-suspicious.
perhaps we'd better get the-the
things moved to the little new home
flrst, George. Let's"
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 wanted to speak. I've
been thinking 1t over and I've decided.
I want gOu to take oil the things
from mothers room and use them and
keep them fer me, and I'm sure the
little apartment win be Just what you

ucuiarly, that is. I can't imagine you,

He stopped in anazement: no chair
had been left IN the kitchen, but
Fanny gave despairing glance around
her On search OF one, then sank alb

"But I've heard they pay very high

Pye always heard they did, and I'm

Old Frank gave him a long stare. at
first this scrutiny was sharply incred-
ulous; then It was grave; finally it de-
vel0ped into threat Of overwhelming
laughter; a forked vein in his fore
head became more visible andshis eyes
seemed about to protrude.

rising, took up his hat and oyercOat.
