" Good-bye, Minnie," it read. " I'm not going home. I'm going to stay in Chicago a little while and look for work. Don't worry. I'll be all right." In the front room Hanson was reading his paper. As usual, she helped Minnie clear away the dishes and straighten up. Then she: " I guess I'll stand down at the door a little while." She could scarcely prevent her voice from trembling.
