About
noon
`` How should I know where your wife goes ? '' Then Jurgis went out again and paced up and down before the building . All the morning he stayed there , with no thought of his work . About noon he went to the police station to make inquiries , and then came back again for another anxious vigil . Finally , toward the middle of the afternoon , he set out for home once more . He was walking out Ashland Avenue . The streetcars had begun running again , and several passed him , packed to the steps with people .
