CHAPTER 25

1t was mid-mOrning of the next day
when Admah and his partner got off al
the car-barns and sauntered together
up Dutch Hill. A months absence
had changed everything for Admah,
The car-barns, the soap factory, the
Fort itself seemed to have shrunk in
scale. He felt that he had been gone a
long time, had visited foreign ports,
had grown little gray. The Work
house had been no pleasure, certainly;
but it had been such a change from the
little routine Of Dutch Hill
Elmer had been talking steadily ever
since they had resumed their ordinary
clothing and caught the trolley to
town. As he talked the future grew
from dissolute lunch wagon they had
expanded into glistening store front
on Grand Avenue with fancy fruits in
the window and a real onyx soda foun-
tain running all the way along the
north side. His sanguine gable helped
Admah on his hard trip home. The
unchecked flow of optimism heartened
him, gave him courage to face Ma and
have it out with her.
But he halted by the little spindly
lamp-post at the corner. 1t wouldn't
do, he decided, to break Elmer on Ma
all at once. Elmer wouldn't look re-
spectacle to Ma; and his talk would
Scandalize her, until she understood
him. Since he had gone back to the
tight plaid suit he looked little worse
than before; early hours and regular
labor had agreed with him and he had
put on weight. The cut of his trousers
