Thte next instant the door had closed behind her, and K. was left alone to stich wretchedness and bliss as the evening brought him. Joe Drunintmnd came to see Sidney the next day.

Sidney was lialf alarmed, half irrl tated. Tills wild, excited boy was not thie doggedly faithful youth she had always known. It seemed to her that uiderneath his quiet manner and care fully-repressed voice there lurked somiletliig irrationai1. something she could not cope with. She looked up at hm1 hlples'sly. "But what do you want me .to do? Youi-you almost frighten ine." "You're going back?" "Absolutely." "Because you love the hospital, or beenuse you love somebody connected with the hospital?" Sidney was thoroughly angry by this time, angry and reckless. She had conie through so illuch that every nerve was crying in passionate pro test. "If it will make you utiderstan'd things any better," she cried, "I am going back for both reasons !" She was sorry the next moment. But her words seemed. surprisingly enough, to steady him. For the first time, he sat down. "Then, as far as I am concerned, it's all over, is it?" "Yes, Joe. I told you that long ago." He seemed hardly to be listening. His thoughts had ranged far ahead. Suddenly: "You think Christine has her hands full with Palmer, don't you? Well, .I1 you take Max Wilson, you're going to have more trouble than Christine ever dreamed of. I cnn tell you some things about him now that will make yot think twice." But Sidney had reached her limit She went over and flung open the door. P "Every word that you say shows in< how right I ai in not marryig you Joe," she said. "Iteal men do no say those things about each other un der any circumstances. You're be having like a bad boy. I don't wan you to come back until. you hav grown ip." . He was very white, but he picke up hIs hat "ad went to the door. "I guess I am crazy," he sild.

Although'she was con vinced that he was seeing nothing of the girl who had been with him the night of the accident, she did not trust him. Not that girl, perhaps, but there were others. There would always be others. Into Christine's Little parlor, then, K. turned, on1e spring evening. .

Its warmth and light appealed tc ' "a esthetic sense; after the bareness of hie bed-_ room, it spelled luxury. And perhaps, to be entirely frank, her evident pleas ure in his society gratified him. Chris tine's small coquetries were not lost on him. The evenings with her did some thing to reinstate himi in his own self esteem. It was subtle, psychological, but also it was very human. "Come and 'sit down," said Christine. "Here's a chair, and here are ciga rettes and there are matches. Now I" lehind him, Christine stood watch ing his head in the light of the desk lamp. "What a strong, quiet face it is," she thought. Why did she get the impression of such a tremendous re serve power in this man who was a clerk, and a cleiek only? Behind him she made a qfick, unconscious gesture of appeal, both. hands out for an in stant. She dropped them guiltily as K. turned to her. "I wonder if you know. K.," she said, "what a lucky woman the woman will be who marries you?" He laughed good-humoredly. "I wonder how long I could hypno tize her into thinking that." "I've had time to do a little think Ing lately," she said. wvithout bitter ness. "Palnep-Is away so much now. I've been looking back,'wondering if I ever thought that about him. I don't believe I ever did. I wonder-" She checked herself abruptly and sat down. After a moment: "Has it ever occurred to you how terribly mixed up things are? Take this Street, for Instance. Can you think of anybody on it that-thitat things have gone entirely right with?" "It's a little world of its own, of course," said K., "and 'it has plenty of contact points with life. But wher ever one finds people, many or few, one finds all the elements that make up life-joy and sorrow, birth and - death, and even tragedy. That's rath er trite, isn't it?" Christine was still pursuing her thoughts. "Men are different," she said. "To a certain extent they make their own fates.
