The letter, which was now lying like

the dimly lit hallway. was addressed
TO man who once had been rich. To
compile list OF aftluent people,
well intentioned volunteer had - at
the suggestion of experienced workers
gone over the membership of the
Jewish community. that long obsolete
list on which Segfried Krautel's
name still appeared i'll all its former
prosperity. Thus it came to pass that,
leaning on his stick and bending over
with difficulty. he now stood at the
crossroads of his destiny. A large
white envelope; that would have to be
opened with care; it would be just the
thing to keep salt in. He relocked his
door and returned to his usual seat by
the three windows which, poorly
polished with newspapers, showed
what once had been a balcony. Fin

his spectacles. whose left glass had
been accidentally bisected by crack.

He pulled the desk chair closer to a
window and half articulated the eight
pages of printed matter, the gist of
which was that there was much misery
among the aged of Jewish faith and
that he, Siegfried krautel, was asked
to help, to become member of the
society, to contribute.
When he had finished, the old man
nodded scornfully. OF course, he
thought, why shouldn't | contribute?

he wanted at first to suppress but
which would not leave him throughout
the long hot afternoon. If Jews were
again looking after Jews, why shouldn't
they look after him? Shouldn't an
attempt be made to let these people
know that he. SieGfried krautel, had
slipped into the ranks of those needing
assistance? These people said they
