Mrs. Rabinowitz once more took

up her housewifely duties. But as she heard the Cantor’s steps dying away she took a telegram from her bosom and kissed it. Once more she opened it and looked longingly on the wording. Though she was unable to read it, she knew every word by heart. Three weeks it had been since she had heard from Jakie In Chicago, and now this telegram—home In a few days!

"It's only Thursday. What kind business Is turkey in the middle of the week. You aru expecting company, no?” “Hum! Such a guesser," she beamed, but the secret was becoming too much for her to keep. ‘‘Don’t you know what day It is

today?”

“Thursday.

"You're sixty years old today." "Ts—ts—is—sixty years old. It couldn’t ho!" The Cantor kissed tils wife and smiled a little sadly.

The children in the street hurried forward, crowding around and evening the door, expectant of a few pennies reward. The young man jumped out. bringing with him a traveling bag and a cane. Ho paid his fare, handed some change to the children and walked briskly Into the house. He knocked several times at the Rabinowitz apartment, but when he received no answer he tried the door. It opened and Jack Robin stepped into his old homo for the first time in ton years. Jack looked about him slightly puzzled. It all seemed so real, so familiar, yet so unreal. It was as though he were waking from some kind of strange dream. He set his bag and stick down on a chair, and straightened his tie. But his entrance brought Mrs. Rabinowitz from her kitchen. As she came into the room she stopped dead. Jack turned quickly, and mother and son faced each other. There was a moment's silence. Then— “Mama! Mama!’’ “Jakie! My baby! Mine zlndel! My darling” Swift as a flash the two were In each other’s arms, their voloes breaking; smiles and tears coming alternately and together. At last Jack stepped back, holding his mother at arms’ length, and gazing at her face. “Mama You don't look a day older—just like a chicken." Jack broke the tension with a Jest, but his eyes were moist. Ho led bis mother to a chair and gently pushed Uw Into It. (To l>« coutlnu-»J)
