as empty as a drained flumeway,
the pooled asphalt throwing up
scattered reflections of the lonely
city lamps. The floor of Fifth
avenue washed clean as a ball
room and shimmering like mir

It was a canyon of silence along
which the only sound was the
periodic clatter of non-skid chains
and the throb of an occasional
motor engine. New York stood
like a city suddenly depopulated
by some vast cataclysm.

His angry fare flung open the
cab door, thrust one foot out
on the running board, and for a
second time shouted for his driver
to swing about.
But still the car continued on
its way.
The benignant looking South
erner thereupon reached about
with one long arm and pounded
on the body of that insensate
driver. There was nothing for
that driver to, do but slow down,
stare stupidity about and demand
what was wrong. But the car
still crept slowly northward.

gloomy response. He walked to
the front of the car and began to
crank.
Then he stood up, with ges-

as though looking for some quar-
ter from which help might mirac-
ulously come. But they seemed
alone in a world of driving rain.
Then the driver stepped about
to the side Of the car, placing one
hand against the partly opened
door, for he saw that his fare had
taken up the black bag and was
about to step out.
