Six oclock, the hour when the waterworks whistle and the siren on the one companion brick factory would sound relief, remained yet dim in the distance and from end to end of the main business street the dynamo of human activity hummed low. On the most prominent corner of the thoroughfare, in the heart of this drowsy scene, casting now a welcome shadow-blot far out on the cobbled street, at all times a landmark and a source of civic pride, arose a modern office building. From the multitude of windows which checkered its face, ethically insistent against a common background of gold leaf, stared forth the names of divers professional men who laboured within. Doctors, lawyers, and dentists, specialists and commoners mingled in that glaring directory; but amid the motley a casual observer would at that time have found one sign standing out distinct and prominent from amid the mass.
