He did not ask to go in, and SO
Annie Lewis died that day without
him. She went very quietly at the
end, only once she muttered some
thing that sounded like his name, and
tried to hold out her hand. Beverly,
awhile wrath beside her bed, had
gone even paler. And then it was all
over, and Annie had gone probably
to the same heaven as little Jake the
tailor; although she lay in state, for
two days, under q pail Of orchids,
whereas Jake had been worth, all
told, only five hundred dollars to the
traction company.
On the day after Annie's death
Chris resigned from his city job at
least saving himself the stigma of
being ousted and two days later he
sat III his office and faced his sue
ccszor, heavy young man named
Barrett Chris did not like him. He
was cocksure and arrogant, and
there was nothing in that meeting
10 show that their lives were to be
mixed in any fashion whatever. Bar
rett at once stated that he was not
in medicine for his health, and that
as for the city poor, they were dirty
and thriftless and so what could you
expect?
Chris, who had expected little and
received rather less, listened to him
carefully, his face slightly averted
He had done this to them, handed
to this cocksure youth his children
of the shadows.
You'll find they're not all bad,
Doctor Barrett
"Well, they are good clinical ma
terial, anyhow" Barrett grinned.
jenkins says you spoiled them!"

not scum"
But Barrett was unimpressed. He
went away still smiling. The shabby
office had not been lost on him. That
fool back there had no idea of public
psychology. Look prosperous and
you become prosperous. Already he
had furnished his own place hand
somely on the installment plan.
Chris felt father lost after that, as
if he had suddenly changed the open
road for a cul-de-sac and confronted
a blank wall; and he had a queer feel
ing of detachment, as if Annie and
not Beverly had been the tie to the
big house; as if indeed he had been
for a time the son she had never
borne, and she the mother he had lost
so early.

on the table a small black bordered

around, but the stove was going, a
kettle kissing on it.
She took off her hat and called up
the back stairs: mon! Hey, Mom!"
There was no answer, and after a
moments hesitation Katie went back
to the front hall and picked up the
envelope. 1t was lightly sealed and
with a little steaming--Sh went eau
tiously back to the kitchen again and
held it to the spout Of the kettle; she
was still holding it there when she
heard Lily on the back porch.
She was frightened, for Lily had
her own code, such rs IL was, and
there was no time 10 escape She
did the only thing she could think
of jerlled the kettle aside and
dropped the black bordered letter in

They sat together at the kitchen
table and had their tea, and within
q day of two Chris saw in the paper
that Beverly and her father had sail
ed for Europe. 1t was the first time
he had really believed that his love
affair was over.
1t was about that time that Chris
ceased to be called "the young doc
tor" by the neighborhood and be-
came Doctor Arden, or often merely
"the Doctor" The youth had gone
out Of him. For time he thought
that Beverly would surely write to
him and he would hurry home from
wherever he had been to look at the
hall table. No letter came, however,
and in time he stopped looking for

Katie, coming home once a week,
watched him uneasily.
"'He looks sick, Mother. Is he still

II don't know. All I know is
there's no pleasing him. He found
the cellar lights burning the other
morning, and he shouted so you could
hear him block away. How are

ago that am not easy to love or

my work to do. l can't compromise

"And your work will always come
first. Before me. Before anything,
she said. That's true, isn't it,"
"No! No! MOI" he said violently.
But it's got it's place"
She stood looking about her uncer-
tainly, at the dust, at the mail he had
had no time even to open, at that
wretched plate on the desk; and from
there she looked back at him and
anger rose in her again, that she
should care so much, and that he
should be looking at her with eyes
that were hard and uncompromislng.

She went on. She had not thought
it would be like this, especially as
things were at home She had thought
that he would at least have some time
for her. Perhaps she was jealous OF
his work. She didn't know. But in that
case she was not cut out for doc

er would soon be alone, and he would
need her. When she married, if she
ever did
Chris heard her through, his jaw
set hard He made no defense, help
ed her not at all. Only at the end
he sat up in his chair and smiled at
her across the desk.
"My dear girl" he said, "you
needn't either attack me or defend
yourself. You are right as you see
things, and maybe l am right, too.
I'm never sure of that, of course. But
if you want to be free, darling, you
are Free"
Perhaps she had not expected that.
She went rather white again and got
up, and Chris, leaping to his feet,
said,
"Only if you want it, my dear"
She stood quite still, and he had
the feeling that there was something
she had not said and that should be
said. But she did not say it. Instead
she smiled family.
I'm afraid / do want it, Chris"
She gave a curious, almost heart
breaking, glance around the room and
then turned and went out. He fol-
lowed her, but he found nothing to
say. When he had closed the door
behind her, he noticed that he was
trembling. He shut himself in to his
back office and sat down again. His
knees would not hold him.
For day or two his pride kept
him away from her. He was work
ing at terrific pressure, too, and per-
haps he hoped that, given time, Bev-
erly would see reason and send for
him. But nothing happened, and at
last he put his pride in his pocket
and climbed the hill.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
5.-Joe Di Maggie, baseball's highest
salaried player and No. holdout,
broke the silence surrounding his
salary negotiations with the World
Champion New York Yankees to-
day to tell why he has not signed
for the 1912 season.
II don't like to have to wrangle
for my salary" he said, but the
only contract the club has offered
me was for $37 900, exactly the same
as got last year.
IAN I have told Ed Barrow (presi-
dent Of the Yanks) is that I think !
deserve q raise. I didn't give him
any figure, 50 it isn't true that I am
holding out for anything exorbitant.
I simply said to look at the record
and see II I didn't deserve . raise"
Points to Great Record.
The record. it might be mentioned,
would show that Di Maggie had an
incompatible batting streak Of 56
consecutive games last season, had
an average Of 1857. hit 80 homers,

with 125 and was voted the most

ting streak?" He repeated . ques-
ton. "Hah. I did not. didn't
even get a pat on the back. No
body even said thank you.
"The club made money last year:
Barrow admits that. And it won
the championship. Now it would
be one thing If they offered me
whatever raise they thought I
earned, but don't think its fair to
send me a contract for the same
dough they were offering me year
ago.
Doesn't Like to Argue.
"Yeh. I know they say it Is the
usual procedure. But I don't like
the usual procedure don't want
to argue for weeks every year for
what the club ought to offer In the
