It was not B. I B ppi ly on which he stood, It was a 1" I rickety orange crate dumped against E I the side of the shed. But his smile E, I wn s delightful. And he was the first Ei I mule person Glulletta had seen since B I she came to America. Bsc “I’lase! What this?” She held up | I in grimy fingers which, nevertheless, I I were dainty and almost reverent, her K find of the day. I “Blest If I know. But say,” her galI lant leaned nearer. “Ain't it a bat frame?” S “A—?" | "Hat.” He made motions. "Put on bead. When you go out.” i "When I go out?" Juliet glanced ‘ I down her little nose at the yellow i [ handkerchief, garnished with very < I faded red roses, which had slipped - : round her golden-brown neck. "I no 1 ■ ! I “Yes you are. In America.” He saw the shy eyes fixed on Idm In wonder and Finkelstein, the grocer's ■ hoy, swelled. "We Americans like our , girls to look nice.” So she did, nice as a legendary | princess. In her dark cave idled with ? nil the riches of old shoes, broken , i dishes and dismembered corsets. f "You ’Merican?” inquired Juliet. Finkelstein’s father had come from , Poland and his mother from Russia, i and he was working for nn Irish firm but he replied truthfully: “Surest thing you know.” J "You know about—all this here I ■ things?” Juliet’s eyes were shining. She i looked ns though she had come to the i | fount of all wisdom, liberty, equality, fraternity and the pursuit of happiness. “What this?” demanded Juliet. She held forth the second find of the i day, a leaky hot water bottle. Finkelstein, though scratching his head, came through without embarrassment, j “You put water in that. To keep warm. My mourner's got one.” “Your mamma? But you are rich!” ' “Forget it. Didn’t you never see one?" “But no,” confessed the adoring i lady from Calabria. ’"And this! What is?” It was a piece of garter, very sick | and aged looking in the elastic. “Ladles wears ’em.” "Rich ladles?" “No," averred the modest Finkelstein. “They’re nothin’.” Juliet laid the thing reverently aside. "E questo?” It was a man’s rubber which her little fingers held like a piece of carven ivory. Finkelstein let himself go. “That? That’s to wear when it rains. Why. I’ve got a pair myself. Got ’em on now.” “Truly?” Her eyes were ecstatic. Rubber was nnf current In Calabria and Juliet had stumped home In her wooden clogs on many a rainy night to warm cold bare feet at the earthen hearth. "Wnnnn see?” Her adoring eyes encouraged him | and, one by one, the panoplied hero waved his feet before the window, holding meantime by the tottering orange crate and ducking his head that the rubber-shod feet might have full scope against a background of Bronx sunlight. It wns a sloppy, thawihg day and Finkelstein whs wearing, not rubbers, but boots. “Dio mio!" Juliet clasped her bands and stood in admiration. No knight In armor cniild more have impressed her, to whom a piece of sacking tie,! about with string was the height of protection for the male leg. “They are yours!” "I bought ’em with my pay." “Your pay!" But he must be a millionaire. He must be an emperor! The waving legs left the window and the head came back. “Say kid ! Do you like me? “Lika you?” Juliet’s blush trtl m adorable as the pinkest rag of s underwear in her whole co e< on. Never before had she been asked such a leading question by such a benutiful knight. “I thought you and me ml. it go together some. To the movies Finkelstein was feeling moved J" ' self. The ladles of his acqualntan e did not blush and adore like that. _ “I’d like to buy you things, stated, and watched her draw • the window like a little saint praying to a bright image. “R-rubbbrs?” she Ventured. “Rubbers? Sure.” She was nearer and he had her hand. "And a bottle for the warm water. "For positively boiling hot wnte promised her prince, pawning his own eyes.
