NEVILLE HAD SEEN SHOES FOR @9.OB.

Neville hnd seen shoes she wanted for two-ninety-eight. Then hod paused, arrested by something hos seen in Trents face. "f haven't anything decent to offer." ho'd said, But we'll have some repair work on tanker next week--itll be day inbor---" Trent had jumped at 1t, "It's work, I'll take It. with thanks" ho'd added.
 Now the smell of hot coffee and cooking food rushed out of n door, way to tantalixo his nostrlls as he passed, Why hadn't he asked for another quarter? Even another dime? Buck would have managed 1t. But thero had been only ono thought in his mind--threo dollars for NevllIe's shoes. He hadn't rec membered that he'd had no food since early morning and that miles lay between him and tho little room In Washington Heights where Neville would be waiting.
 He punched his shoulders against the cold and heightened his stride. oh. welk what did it mat tor? Neville was going to have shoes ns he could walk it in a cou- pie of hours or so.
 At Twcnty-Third street he snt down on u bench in the small park and rested. It was dark now and getting colder. After few min utes he decided 1t was warmer walking. Ho rose stiffly and moved on northward. As far as he could see the city stretched ahead of him, alleys of blinking lights, skyscrap- CTS glowing against the night sky millions of people in those tall and stately buildings that lay be- tween him and Neville.
 He caught his reflection In a window as he passed and stopped. Was this Trent Corbin who had come to New York with his bride only three years ago? Come to trade his genius for n Livelihood not for great reward--in these times neither he nor Neville had expected that. All they had asked was n living He stared frowning at tho reflected figure.
 Was this weary young man "one of the best hydraulic engineers" his college had turned out? He'd had work for a while. then part time, then odd jobs here and there. and now, for weeks, nothing nothing ut all. Day after day the same old story: "Sorry but we're not taking on anybody. We're cut ting down."
 Trent shrugged and turned away from the mirrorcd figure. Well, anyway Neville was going to have new shoes.

Trent stared into the faces that passed weary frightened faces, wearing a taut haunted look: an army of workers living under an ever present pail of insecurity. wondering how soon you'll be liko me-" he thought. Able bod. jed, mentally sound, anxious to work--and no work to Do had"
 A sleek limousine rolled by. Tho light licked across n lined strained face in the back seat. Suppose you have your trouble too," thought Trent, "Payrolls, rents, responsibilities. My kind go hungry your kind jump out Of windows. To hell with it all. Let's scrap tho whole works and do it over on n better scale,
 The wind came like slash of cold steel from tho river and Trent turned up tho collar of his over. coat. It was thin ovcrcoat but 1t was better than none. He had seen men on south Street that morning shlvering in dungareea.
 A sudden smile broke over his wind. whipped face. To hell with the depression! Neville was going to have new shoes! His hand fum- bled for his trousers pocket and closed with satisfaction over the folded bills it found there.
 What luck that he'd thought of Buck Farley! In college days Buck had been tho ono who'd had no money. But Trent had brushed pride aside. Neville mad to have now shoes!
