They found the job. It needed an
apprenticeship of only six weeks. dur
iAg Which period George was to re-
ceiye fifteen dollars a week; after
that he would get twenty-eight. This
settled the apartment question. and
Fanny was presently established in a
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
II hideous, especially In the early
spring, before the leaves of the shade
trees were out. ,t.
One OF, his Sunday walks, that
spring, he made into a sour pilgrimage.
1t was a misty morning Of belated
show 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 cavernous en-
tryway for trucks had been torn In its
front, and upon the cornice, where the
old separate metal letters had spelt

bill board sign: "Doogan Storage"
To spare himself, he went out Ma

slush-covered wreckage where the

had been, and where the Majors III

for the great tenement already shaped
In amending 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

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."

stood unheeding, staring at the little
