Do you imagine for a moment that she's going to sacrifice these luxuries for any great length of time?" "I intend to give them to her," replied Madison promptly. "On thirty dollars a week?"

Meanwhile Hector, after looking about him, turned, and, getting into a Broadway stage, rode uptown as far as Twenty-third Street, where the stage turned down toward Sixth Avenue. He concluded to walk the remainder of the way. As he was walking up Madison Avenue, his attention was drawn to a little girl in charge of a nursemaid.
