Tears welled in his eyes. He was terribly tired; kindness cui through him like a knife. Jdhr.ny slept on a cot in the corner. He drifted off into oblivion, exhaustion and exaltation crowding back the events ol the previous day and right Days of bewildering complexity followed on his establishment in the family of Channon Lipvitch, as a cou| sin ftuid the farm, for so El Van Nes1 ser, a Malaraud, advised. Slowly the river dimmed. Johnny Breen learned of synagogues and rabbis. He thought ; the whole world consisted of the river and the Ghetto, nothing else. Becka became a dominant force in the direction ot nis emotions. He taut out of his clothes, his strong body never . tired. He could lift Becka high up so she might reach the top shelves in the shop; she was often needing things there, and then, suddenly, he reluseri t to lift her, but climbed up himself jand found nothing. I John had achieved a prime requisite for world!v .success Hp wsc 'known four and five blocks away as ' "Fighting Lipvitch.''

The story grew by telling and e fame of John Sreen took on addd stature. Fighting kept his mind alert and iatie him wary, while d'jn thoughts i things beyond the tenements, of ide avenues and great mansions, rossed his consciousness in dreams, ohn learned that millionaires were : the city, powerful, kindiv. and iinleriselv rich, Jccking nhout for wordy *r? of Israel.
