sign. ID themw he said finally, and,
turning up his coat collar, plodded
back through the sOggy streets toward
"home."
The utilitarian impudence of the city
authorities put thought into his mind.
A week earlier he had happened to
stroll into the large parlor of the
apartment house, finding it empty, and
on the comfortable he noticed large,
red-bound, gilt-edged book, newly
printed, bearing the title: "A Civic
History" and beneath the title, the
rubric, Biographies of the 500 Most
Prominent Citizens and Families in
the History of the City" He had
glanced at it absently, merely noticing
the title and subtitle, and wandered
out of the room, thinking of other
things and feeling no curiosity about
the book. But he had thought of 1t
several times since with a faint, vague
uneasiness; and now when he entered
the lobby he walked directly into the
parlor where he had seen the book
The room was empty, as 1t always wa.
on Sunday mornings, and the famboy-
ant volume was still upon the table
evidently a fixture as sort of local
Almanach de Gotha, or Burke, for the
enlightenment of tenants and bOarders.
He turned to the index where the
names of the five hundred Most PrOmi-
nent Citizens and Families in the lis
tory of the City were arranged in al
phabetical order, and ran his finger
down the column Of AS: Albeit, Alb
bOtt, Abrams, Adams, Adams, Adler,
Akers, Albertsmeyer, Alexander, Allen,
Ambrose, Ambuhl, Anderson, Andrews,
Appenbasch, Archer, Arszman, Ash.
craft, Austin, Alvey.
Georges eyes remained for some
time fixed on the thin space between
the names "Allen" and Ambrose
Then he closed the book quietly, and
went up to his own room, agreeing
with the elevator boy, on the way
that it was getting to be mighty
nasty wet and windy day outside.
The elevator boy noticed nothing un'
usual about him and neither did Fanny
when she came in from church with
her hat ruined, an hour later. And vel
something had happened-a thing
which, years ago, had been the eager
est hope of many, many good citizens
of the town. They had thought Of 1t
longed for 1t, hoping aeutely that they
might live to see the day when it would
come to pass. And now it bad hap
pened at last: George Minafer hat
got his come-upanee.
He had got it three times filed snt

acteristic Of Lucy. George was instant
ly subjected to shock Of indef1nable
nature, yet definitely a shock: he did
not know what he felt-but he knew
that he felt. He went on slowly, his
knees shaky.
But he found Fanny not at home;
she had been out all afternoon; and
there was no record of any caller
and he began to wonder, then to doubt
If the small lady he had seen in the
distance was Lucy. 1t might as wen
have been, he said to himself-since
anyone who looked like her could give
him "a jolt like that I"
Lucy had not left a card. She never
left one when she called on Fanny {;
though she did not give her reasons a
quite definite form In her own mind.
She came seldom; this was but the
third time that year, and, when she did
come, George was not mentioned,
either by her hostess or by herself--an
oddly contrived between the two
ladies without either of them realizing
how odd it was.
At other times Lucy's thoughts of
George were anything but continuous,
and weeks went by when he was not
consciously in her mind at all. Her
life was busy one: she had the big
house ito keep up" she had a garden

eide, and his lack Of decision In this
matter probably superlnduced lack
of decision in another more presslngly
vital. At the second and louder shout
he did look up; and the car was almost
on him; but he could not make up his
mind If the charming little figure he
had seen was Lucy's and he could not
make up his mind whether to go back
ward or forward: these questions be-
came entangled in his mind. Then.
still not being able to decide which OF
two ways to go, he tried to go both
and the little car ran him down. 1t
was not moving very rapidly, but 1t
went all the way over George.

he heard swapping sounds as loud as
shots from q small pistol, and was
stabbed by excruciating pains in his

machine was being lifted of Of him.
People were gathering in a circle
round him, Cabling.
His forehead was believed with the
sweat Of anguish, and he tried to wipe
of this dampness, but failed. He could
not get his arm that far.

One of his Sunday walks, that
spring, he made into sour pilgrimage.
II was a misty morning Of belated
snow slush, and suited him to per-
lection Of mlserableness, as he stood
before the great dripping department
store which now occupied the big plot
of ground where Once-h had stood both
the ANDERSON hotel and the Anderson
opera house. From there he drifted to
the old ANDERSON block" but this was
only 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
"Amberson block" there was long
bill board sign: "DoOgan Storage"
To 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 ILL.,
fated FIVE NEW" houses had stood; for
these were down, too, to make room
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
lew order, and by an unpleasant coin
cidence, while the thought was still
in his mind, his eyes fell upon 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 stenclled
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

"YOu bet your life they amt no casa

him heatedly: 'T'n sorry fer you an

history. Quicksilver in a nest of
cracks"
George Minafer had got his come
upance, but the people who had so
longed for 1t were not there to see it,
and they never knew it. Those who
were still living had forgotten all
about 1t and all about him.
George had seen Eugene only once
since their calamitous encounter. They
had passed on opposite sides of the
street, downtown; each had been
aware that the other was aware of
him, and yet each kept his eyes
straight forward, and neither had
shown a perceptble alteration of eoun'
enance. 1t seemed to George that he
felt emanating from the Outwardly i'm
perturbable person Of his mothers old
friend hate that was like hot wind.
At his mothers funeral and at the
Majors he had been conscious that
Eugene was there: though he had aft
erward no recollection of seeing him,
and, while certain of his presence, was
uncertain how he knew of it. Fanny
had not told him, for she understood
George well enough not to speak to
him of Eugene or Lucy. Nowadays
Fanny almost never saw either OF
them and seldom thought of them-so
sly is the way of time with life. She
was passing middle age, when old in
tensities and longings grow. thin and
fiatten out, as Fanny herself was thin
ming and .fattening out; and she was
settling down contentedly to her apart
meIft-hOuse intimacies.
The city was so big, now, that peo-
pie disappeared into it unnOticed, and
the disappearance of Fanny ana her
nephew was not exceptional. People
no longer knew their neighbors as q
matter of course; one lived for years
next door to strangers-that sharpest
Of all the changes since the old days
and a friend would lose sight Of O
friend for a year, and not know it.
One May day George thought he had
a glimpse of Lucy. He was not GER
tain, but he was sufficiently disturbed,
in spite Of his uncertainty. A promo
ton in his work now frequently took
him out of town for a week, or longer,
and it was upon his return from one of
these absences that he had the strange
experience. He had walked home from
the station, and as he turned the cor
ner which brought him in sight Of the
apartment house entrance though two
blocks distant FROM it, he saw q charm
ing little figure come out, get into a
shiny landaulet automobile, and drive
away. Even at that distance no one
could have any doubt that the little
figure was charming; and the height

They found the job. 1t needed an
apprenticeship of only six weeks, dur
ing which period George was to re-

that he would get twenty-eight. This
settled the apartment question, and
Fanny was presently established in
greater cOntentment than she had
known for long time.
