The sun had gone down and the purple of dusk was turning to the dark of night. A middle-aged man, smok- ing his pipe contentedly, walked down tree-canopied Elm Street. As the man passed number 28, .-"ι λ": f- he saw a light come on in the living- room. It was a cheerful light that, somehow, seemed warmer than any of the lights in neighboring windows. The man often walked down Elm Street and every time he saw that light in the window he felt the same glow of satisfaction. It meant that all was well within. Mrs. Allen had put her two children to bed and had settled herself for an evening of sewing or reading. Later some friends would probably drop in. Yet how different it might have been. The woman was alone with two children, but hardship had not moved in with them. The man in the street was a modest man, but he could not help feeling that he had played an impor- tant part in this story. He remem- bered the night he had persuaded Mr. Allen to take the step that had meant so much to his family just three years later. He could not help but feel that, if Mr. Allen could somehow be walk- ing with him tonight, he would put a hand on his shoulder and say, 'ΐm glad you came over that night." The man walked on, thinking back upon his own life. He had been a New York Life agent for fifteen years and often-—like tonight, for instance •—he felt that he had chosen the best possible career for himself. He whis- tled softly as he turned off Elm Street and headed toward home. m FEW OCCUPATIONS offer a man so much in the way of personal reward as life underwriting.
