Unable to read, knowing nothing of life, he is taken in by a Jewish family, living and doing a second-hand clothing business on the Bowery... From the hour he sets foot in the city he had to fight his way through against bul- lies and toughs . .. and soon became. so proficient that he attracted the at- tention of a would-be manager of fighters who enters him in many boxing tournaments, ... It was here that Pug Malone came into young Breen's life — an old fighter who was square and honest . . . He took Breen under his wing—sent him to night school and eventually took him to a health farm he had acquired . . The scene shifts and the family of Van Horns of Fifth Avenue is in- troduced . . Gilbert Van Horn, last of the old family, is a man about - town, who meets Malone and Breen at one of the boxing shows . . Van Horn has a hidden chapter in his life . which has to do with his mother's maid, years ago, who left the family employ when about to be- come a mother. It was reported that she married an old captain of a river craft . . Van Horn has a ward, Jo- sephine, about Breen's age . . Van Horn, now interested in John .. pre- vails revails upon him to let him finance a course in Civil Engineering at Col- umbia University. •. . John and Jo- sephine meet—become attached to each other, love grows and they be- come engaged shortly after Breen graduates from college . . Josephine becomes restless as John gives full attention to his job and sails for Paris to select her trousseau ... At the last moment Rantoul sails on the same boat. . . .At sea the great oc- ean liner crashes into an iceberg and sinks: ?ll passengers taking to the lifeboats. „,_ - ;r- I ., .'el ,-'., Breen learns that Gilbert Van Horn was his father. Back home, Josephine returns Breen's ring and marries Rantoul. John, .stunned, buries himself in his work and rises rapidly. The United States enters the World War, and John goes over.

This seems to place the problem beyond the ability of our civic talent. A spoonful may be dipped out here and there and screened, but the great works that would yield a fortune to the city, these are only part of the plan," "Yes, John the plan," Almon Strauss seemed to waken .up from a study. "After all, the plan must come first. Let us get the plan." "I have had a theory,". Almon Strauss went on, "a theory that the city will work its way out of the mire." He stopped, paused for a mo- ment. "They say that my people are nat- urally dwellers in cities. It may be so. But the Hebrews are an ancient race, a race that has held its tenets, has kept its faith for centuries.

What do they know of building? What of planning far ahead? I may never see the be- ginning, but, John, and you, :too, Harboard, you may see, you may know. "But I am afraid of the city, I am afraid we have planned too far ahead. People are getting confused, and rents go higher and higher. I am closing up this place and expect to leave. But my heart is here. God help the city.''

She was on her way to (dinner at one of the fine old homes. It was in this environment that Harboard and John paused at the southern end of a walk along the Av- enue, crowded with the great rush of a mid-season afternoon. The friends were given to long tramps, to the diversion of 'extended explorat- ions in the city. Again great things were happen- ing, again the city was restless and uncertain in its ancient, harness. Drastic methods were being propos- ed, merchants' associations and civic bodies were stirring. Great agitations were taking public voice. The huge muddle must assume some proper form.

Very glad." Almon Strauss was short, of stocky build, almost hump- backed. "Let us go upstairs. I have the key. You know more about the way than I," he said; "suppose you lead." As they followed John up to the offices of Colfax, up the dust -cover- ed landing and into the inner room, a strong emotion came to John, a They paused on the sharp oasis south of Twenty-fifth Street between Fifth Avenue and Broadway. A smoking churning rush of cars and busses hemmed them in. Across the way the old Amen Corner had ended its career. On the broad stretch of the Avenue, toward the park, arches of triumph and of victory once rear- ed their fragile forms and 'only pho- tographs remain. Dewey returned there from the victory at Manila. Great hosts of men marched by in '17—men with set faces, young and tense—drafted from the youthof the Metropolis, tramping onward in the falling snow. A great void of doubt had come to Harboard and to John, a sickening doubt. To the east, they saw the great clock hands of the tower point- ing to seven, and back on Fifth Av- enue the rush of motor cars came to a sudden stop with a screech of brakes when the high red light flash- ed on the traffic towers above the gas -charged street. John Breen stood, as men have stood. in the twilight of thick tropic jungles, gazing at the beauty of the cobra, unaware of its significance. Harboard struck his cane on the con- crete walk, a loud tap. John looked at him, and sinned, smiled with un- certainty. Josephine Lambert had just sped by them, bareheaded, her dinner wrap resplendent, her face animated, beautiful. She was already far to the south, on her way to dinner in one of the fine old surviving homes of Washington Square, Thomas Hetherington, the great 'editor, had pieced together much of the crazy mosaic history of the city.

Crush some tablets of Aspirin in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. There's usually a cold with the sore throat, so take two tablets to throw off your cold, headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. Use it freely; it does not hurt the heart. ASPIRIN TRADE -MARK REG. IN CANADA ed, Thomas Hetherington was pre- pared to submit a certain train of circumstances, and to ask for the few places where time had failed to fill in facts. He was on the verge of springing one of the really great sen- sations of the city. "My dear Mr. Hetherington, what you say may be so. And then again it may not. You say you have talked with Mr. Breen. What did he say?" "He called it a lot of interesting conjecture." "'But I believe it's so,' I insisted. " 'Well, if it's so, why don't I go out and claim my own?' he asked." "Well, why don't he?" Judge Keily looked puzzled.

HAG`S 1' St\OVLi3 Cid C S\C\c • P,ND Dt'E WHAT WOOL?N'01,3N'o • A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA NOTHING SERIOUS The lives of thousands of Canad- ian children have been lost because parents Have thought that measles is "nothing serious", and that "it is bet- ter to have it and be done with it". We all know that practically ev- eryone has measles sometime during his life. The disease is very common and, as obviously nearly everyone recovers from an attack, it is apt to be looked upon more as a nuisance than anything else. A small percentage of all who con- tract measles do not recover. How- ever, the number of cases is so great that hundreds •of deaths in Canada, each year, from measles are repres- ented by this small percentage. Measles is always serious because of the number of deaths which occur and because it causes ,permanent damage to the bodies of some of those who recover. The younger the child., the more likely it is that the disease will prove fatal. When recovering from measles,: the body is less able to withstand the attack of the germs of other diseas- es. The result of this lack of resis- tance is that pneumonia often dev- elops during .convalescence, and is not infrequently followed by tuber- celosis. There are certain practical .appli-• cations of this knowledge which all' parents should understand. The first is that every effort should be made to keep the young child from exist- ing cases of measles. A child should' never come in contact with other children who have measles or who, are suspected of having the disease. Nine -tenths of all deaths from the. measles occur during the first five years of life. After five years of age• the child is much less likely to suff- er uffer a severe attack: Parents will ac- complish a great deal in, safeguard ing the lives ,of their children when- they henthey succeed in protecting them from measles during their first years of life. The second point of importance is - that the child who has measles re- quires good care. He must be kept in bed, no matter how well he may seem to be, until the doctor allows; him to get up. Getting up too soon is the usual way in which the child' catches 'cold; then peeumonia may follow. The child who has measles is suf- fering from an acute infection. It is a serious condition for the child an& it should be treated as such. He should be isolated so that he will not spread the disease, and he himself' should be under medical care. The attack may appear to be mild, but unless proper care is given, the result may be serious. No one can ten, so the only safe way is to give pro- per care to every case. If your young child has been ex- posed to measles, ask your doctor at once about protecting him through: the use of convalescent serum or adult whole blood.
