up as nearly
as I can remember how many _rents_ there are just in Dinney's house;
that is five stories high--the basement is the first one.

"Fourteen rents. Some of the rents are just one room or two rooms, you
see. Fourteen families pay for living in that house. The entire rental
of that one house helps fill somebody's pocketbook 'plum' full.' It was
a lovely plan--I cried instead of laughing over it--and when I see you
I am going to hug you for it! But, dear, I'll see if I can find out who
Somebody is, if you still want to know. It will be a simple matter, I
should say. I have never asked who owned any of the 'Pleasant Street'
property--I did not seem to want to know. But I'll find out if you
really wish me to.

"With love,

"MARY WINSHIP."

The District Nurse found Dinney's mother was "waiting" when she at last
reached her. But her release came soon. With a smile she left them, and
Dinney, seeing it, surprised the Nurse by a look of gladness. Then he
took Hunkie into his arms and turned away with him as the door opened
and a young girl entered. It was Rose. It seemed somehow to Dinney as
though a sweet peace filled the room now that his mother's hard-drawn
breath was no longer there. He looked through the window and hugged
Hunkie close. He was his baby sure, now. In a way that he could not
understand, it seemed as though something good had come to his mother.
Loving her as he did, he was glad, and realized not his bereavement.

The District Nurse, a day or two later, found time to attend to Gloria's
commission. It was at first a little difficult, because she did not
apply to the right party, but she persevered, as she wished to tell
Gloria in the letter she meant to write that night. She was told of
someone who might know, and to that person she repaired at her first
leisure. There she was at last successful.

But she did not write to Gloria that night. Her pen would have refused
to trace the name she had found--no, no, no, in very mercy it could
not! Poor Gloria--dear child! For already the District Nurse loved
Gloria. No, she could not tell her who it was owned Dinney's home.
Mr. McAndrew's law case concluded, that gentleman was minded to treat
himself to a little recreation. It was not fair, he said, for the women
folks to have all the fun--they were to turn to now and see that he
had his share. With Gloria's willing aid, he made out a modest little
itinerary that would give them a sight of several places
