His watch a silver one Syd had recently given him had not been taken. He thrust his hands into his trousers pockets. Yes, there was some loose change there. He took it out and anxiously counted it under a lamp. There were seventy-three cents all told. And now the question arose, What was he to do?

Seventy-three Comrade Street, Soho, was difficult to find; but, with the aid of a milk-boy, Gyp discovered the alley at last, and the right door. There her pride took sudden alarm, and but for the milk-boy's eyes fixed on her while he let out his professional howl, she might have fled.
As he approached the dark valley he uttered no prayer, and betrayed no apprehension. Death to him was a rest. He died at the age of seventy-three.
