It bad been an unusually oppressive
day even for August Every one
seemed sleepy or sleeping. Cobbler
slept with half mended boots In their
laps; Italian women slept at tbelr fruit
stands with sleeping babies at tbelr
breasts; homes trotted conscientiously
long to front of sleeping drivers.
In tbe department store where An
tona Wbeaton worked the day baa
been difficult, especially behind tbe
stuffy corner where she measured out
ribbons. Aod, oh, w hat a godsend tbe
loud sounding bell at U bad been! Most
of tbe girls In the store were city bred,
and tbey accepted tbe conditions of
August phllosopblaclly, but Antona
Wbeaton had come from a freeb little
country town In the west, and aa she

few minutes before going down to

locked In a place of terment from
which no escape was possible.

boarding house. In the balf hour that
Antona bad been borne abe bad taken
a sponge bath, brushed ber allky, flax
en balr and changed ber black alpaca
dreaa for a simple white musllo. As
she leaned out of tbe window from the
open space beside the storage house
In tbe reer she could see tbe dust
carta roll down tbe streets. Tbe whisk
ing of their big rotary brooms remind
ed tbe country bred girl of targe tur
key gobblers sweeping the earth with
disdainful, proud wings. Tbe open
space faced the west, and, resting her
little oval cheeks In ber bands, Antona
could see that the eun waa doing Its
best to set with some sort of rightful
beauty, even In this homely downtown
section.
"Where the quiet colored end of
evening smiles"
Antona wns speaking to herself in a
reprehensible fashion that was grow
ing on ber, trying to recall some verses
which Francis Logan had quoted to
her one sunset time down on the Bat
tery. She bad fancied she could re

lovely.

needed to be petted and taken care of.
Tbe car ride to tbe river waa tong.
Tbe sun glow bad faded entirely out of
tbe west and the gmr veil that spread
between the nlgbt and day was already
beginning to be pricked by the city's
Innumerable lights when Anally tbey

on tbe opposite shore cast huge black
shadows upon the water. Near by a

myaterlooaly, their lights came up, one
by one. Over on tbe Jersey shore a big
building which by day showed itself to
be an unsightly factory now took on
the majesty of a mediaeval castle.

Francis, calling Antona's attention to
