CHAPTER XVI.


Fortunately. Able had some money
saved. He had never been extrava'
CANT. But he wanted Rose Mary to
live as she had been accustomed to
living before. He insisted on going
to the hotel after their first night
with the Cohens. although Rosemary
had tried to talk him out of it. She
was of a practical turn of mind. and
looked toward the future.
You may not be able to get job
at once" she told him; then we shall
have nothing. And we certainly can't
expect anything from our fathers"
Il wouldn't take anything from

from that business. l never could put
my heart and soul into it.
He developed this idea at some
length. He wanted to satisfy his ar
tistic desires: and then, too. he could
compose. and sell things, and they
would be rich.
Rose.AIary listened and believed
He was her hero, and she hung on
his every word.
But as the days passed Able had
realized that they would have 10 live
more cheaply. Eventually he mad
confessed as much to Rosemary, who
threw her arms about his neck and
cried,
Nothing matters, dear, as long as
we're together"
So they had found the little place
on Ninth avenue. A tiny tWo-room
apartment on the third floor, where

noise. And then the old trains won't
bother us"
But they spent many a sleepless
night, nevertheless. Able was inclined
to be nervous at best, and even when
everything was quiet, and no trains
were audible ne was apt to lie awake
in sheer dread of them.
The Cohens did come over that
night. as Rose Mary had said. And
they came in more or less guilty. for
they had their arms full of bundles.
Able was put out. but he said moth
ing. He hated to feel like charity
case. hut he could not offend these
generous people.
Mrs. Cohen insisted on unwrapping
everything, and, behold, there was
profusion of canned goods-things
that could be put on the shelf and
saved for emergencies.

Isaac Cohen nodded vigorously.
"Yiss, diss is my treat" he declared
But when Able glanced at him
quickly, he turned his head. Able
felt like taking him aside and telling
him how grateful he was for what
they were doing, for as a matter of
fact there was not much food left in
the house; but Isaac avoided him
refused to be caught in position
where he must explain.
All evening the four of them tried
to recapture their old-time gayety and
spontaniety, but the attempt failed
miserably. Whenever one Of them

moment, though we don't want it,"
she said.
Able sank into a chair. He sensed-
they both sensed-that they had
reached a crisis in their lives. But
he was too game to admit it, even to
himself. much less to his wife.
He said nothing more about it, and
she was equally courageous. President

"Remember"' Isaac repeated, as his
wife caught his arm. She knew what
her husband was thinking. but she hid
it by nodding and smiling at Able.
When they were gone, Able paced
the floor.

earth" he asserted, once when he

if everything were bound to turn out
all right: and if each prayed in the
darkness that night neither one knew
what the other was doing.
And, as usually happens when two
people show such spirit, things did
turn for the better. For the next
night Able, returning at supper time,

When the Cohens finally rose to go,
