CHAPTER XIII.
San have you ever been in the
country "
It was Michael who asked the ques-
ton. They were sitting in a small
dismal room that Michael had found
he could afford to rent in a house on
the edge Of the alley. Not that he
had moved there, oh, no! He could
not have endured life if all of it that
he could call his wv had to be spent
IN that atmosphere. He still kept his
little fourth floor back in the disnal-
Ily respectable street. He had not
gone to the place recommended by
Endicott, because he found that the
difference he would have to pay
would make it possible for hip to rent
this sad little o near the alley:
and Tor his purposes this seemed to
him an absolute necessity at present.
The weather was growing too cold
for hin, to meet with his new-old ac-
q~uaintances of the alley out Of doors,
and it was little better indoors even
II he could have endured the dirt and
squalor Of those apartments that
would have been open to him. Be
Sides, he had a great longing to show
them something brighter than their
own forlorn homes.
There was a settlement house three
or four blocks away. but it had not
drawn the jewellers in this particular
alley. They were sunken too low,
perhaps, or there were SO n1any more
hopeful quarters in which to work;
and city was SO wide an deep and
dark. Michael knew little about the
settlement house. He had e Of
such things. He had looked shyly to-
ITS workers now and then. but as
yet knew none of them. though they
had heard now and again OF the
.Angel-man OF the alley" and were
curious to find him out.
But MichaeTs enterprise was all his
own. and his ways OF working were
his own. He had gone back into the
years OF his childhood and found out
from hts Inner consciousness what II
Was ne had needed, and now he was
going 70 try to give 1t to some other
little "kidsasswho were de- forlorn and
l1riendless az be had been. It wasn't
lmuch that he could do, but what ne
could he would do. and more az soon
~ possible.
And 80 he had rented this speck Of
e. room. and purifedttt. He had liter
ally compelled Sam to help HIM. That
compelling was almost q modern mir
acles. and wrought BY radiant smiles.
