Excerpt from Love's Pilgrimage: A Novel
They shivered, and drew their shoulders together as they walked, for it was night, and a cold, sleety rain was falling. The lights from saloons and pawn-shops fell upon their faces - faces haggard and gaunt with misery, or bloated with disease and sin. Some stared before them fixedly; some gazed about with furtive and hungry eyes as they shuffled on. Here and there a police man stood in the shelter, swinging his club and watch ing them as they passed. Music called to them from dives and dance-halls, and lighted signs and flaring colored pictures tempted them in the entrances of cheap museums and theatres; they lingered before these, glad of even a moment's shelter. Overhead the elevated trains pounded by; and from the windows one could see men crowded about the stoves in the rooms of lodging houses, where the steam from their garments made a blur in the air.
Down this highway walked a lad, about fifteen years of age, pale of face, and with delicate and sensitive fea tures. His overcoat was buttoned tightly about his neck, and his hands thrust into his pockets; he gazed around him swiftly as he walked. He came to this place every now and then, but he never grew used to what he saw.
