I thought she would. You see it was too late to
do anything about it and Rosie was worried
about her old mother, too. I guess all they
needed was something to eat."  "

"But all at once one morning Rosie came up
to say goodbye and they were moving. Some
way or other they had got a new trunk and
that and some old grips were all that went out.
She brought up a few things she was leaving be-
hind. I couldn't make out just where they were
going from what Rosie said. She didn't seem
to want to tell me anything. I ran down to tell
the old lady goodbye; and when Rosie was
having the trunk taken out, she said that Rosie
was frightened and she didn't know where they
were going, and Rosie didn't want anybody to
know. They were going to the station from
here, but she thought they would stay in the
city. Anyhow that was what I made out from
the bit of English she has finally picked up and
her signs with her poor old hands."  "

"I've inquired, though, and Rosie isn't work-
ing or sewing for the folks she did work for
and nobody knows anything. So I suppose
they did leave town. Only the good Lord knows
what will become of them. The only thing I
can think of is that Rosie got a job in some other
place, and I hope that's it."
