From the cen- tre issued a voice: "-just a natural born gift. Never took no lessons in modeling. Didn't want any.

Don't forget the Doer artist!" • Noire idle curiosity gave place to amazement, and then in turn to indig- nation. Looking about him lie eaw that he had returned to the spot where he had left his effigy, and gradually realized that it must be his own work which provided the excuse for this harangue on art. Ogee more forgetting prudence, he pushed his way into the circle to con- found this robber of his fame. He saw a spare, middle-sized man: clad in a faded yellow suit of youthful cut, several seasons old. A ceratin youthful grace clung to him still, though he was middle-aged and faded like the suit. His eyes gleamed and danced with the wary, mocking light Of the quack, the charlatan, the spell- binder. ,Speech ran from him like water from a tap. He had an old whisk -broom and a pail of water, and while he talked he clipped the one In the other and sprinkled the sand model as a florist sprays his flowers. Beside the effigy he had spread a piece of wrapping paper, Weighed down around the edge with sand. On it dropped pennies, nickels and an °cease ionel dime, "Sorry I can't show you the original model of this here guy. He was sleep- ing over yonder when I done it, When he woke up and saw himself, maybe he wasn't hot under the collar -oh, no! Not a bit! Wanted to fight me, he did, but he was too fat. Then he of- fered me a five-spot to let laim beat it up, but I turned him down. So he beat it. Don't forget the poor °artist, friend. Remember I turned down a five-spot to give you a little fun!" Neil furfouely angry, stepped for- ward and stamped out the figure. The exhibitor with movement swift as a cat's, swept up the money on the paper and fell back warily. A loud murmur of protest went around the crowd. .''The man is a liar!" said Neil, glar- ing. around. "ell couldn't model a barrel. I made this myself for my Pleasure. You'd better get your money back." So saying he elbowed his way out, and strode up an inclined walk to the pier overhead. The crowd stared af- ter him open-mouthed, and broke up, jeering. He did not see what became of the man in the yellow shit. Nell walked out on the pier -a little way. There was a shoW going on out at the end, but the long approach was almost deserted. There were tables against the railing on either hand, and waiters flitted to and fro. However, as, signs everywhere no/armed the pub- licthat all seats were free; Neil ven- tured to sit down with his back to the shore. As he cooled down he reproached himself heartily for his folly, "It's only by the grace of God there wasn't a detective in that crowd. Fat chance you have of keeping out of their hands if you're going to lose your head as easily as that!" someone was -watching him from be- hind. He steeled himself to meet trouble. Glancing over the rail, he measured the distance to the sand be- low. Say twenty feet; it could be done, he decided, and it would take a' bit of nerve to follow that way. He took a fair look over his shoulder at him some relief that it was no de- tective, but the same eellow in tlece yellow suit. As soon as Neil's eye met his the man grinned sheepishly, and began to sidle toward him. In spite of him- sel Neil found something taking in the rascal's worn, sharp, cheery as- pectt Excuse me, mister," said the man in yellow silkily. "No offense taken or meant. You and me ought to have a little talk." Without *waiting for from Neil, he slid into poeite. ' -• I the cinnainon tie in hie scornful way. . . HOMING REES. .. ...

He was reduced to a ten -cent piece., and dinner time coming on as usual, Prompt meaeures were called for. After parting from Hartigan he walked the streets fingering his lonely coin, and debating how to lay it out in order to insure the largest winnings. He finally decided to stake all on a trip to Coney Island. This day, Sat- urday, It had beau widely announced in the newspapers, would see the offic- ial opening of the summer season. Moreover, the American sun was do- ing worthily, and a northeast breeze was making the waste -paper dance in the gutters of the cross streets. There was mere to be a crowd. Strange, thought Neil, if in the grand resump- tion of the Metropolis of Diversion, he couldn't find a job, Shortly after noon he was set down, In Surf avenue with a hungry and de- termined eye. That " unreasonable street was running undeed,a full head of insanity. In the plutess sunlight the temporary buildings in their prem- ature decrepitude, and the permanent buildings in their pert dressiness out - vied each other in ugliness. The clangor of trolley ears and automo- biles,- the 'music of a hundred pianos and steam melodious, the roar of the roller coasters and the shrieks of the passengers all combined to shatter the ears. More persuasive than the rack- et was the soft scuttle of thousands of leathern soles on the pavement, and the rustle of the creatures' clothes. " The invariable crowd surged slowly up and down, showing weary, sated faces, wistful in the quest of real en- tertainment. "We have an odd way of taking our pleasure!" thought Neil. To make a pretty long story short, Nell wtts completely unsuccessful in his search for a job. The proprietors of beer -gardens, bath -houses, scenic railways, merry-go-rounds and side shows looked him over and shook their heads. Though he had put his shell -rimmed spectacles in his pocket at the beginning, still his clothee made him out a bit too fine for their pur- poses. More than his clothes, per- haps, it was a certain sentience in the eye. "You know too much for mel" one employer, more candid than the oth- ers, told him with some heat. Neither would the humbler vendors of soft drinks, popcorn, salt -water taffy or hot dogs listen to him. At the end of two hours he gave up, or at least retired temperately to take counsel with himself. He went off to one of the narrow stretches of •batith still left clear of underpinaing, and sat down to beat some idea out of his dejected brain. The alternative of walking ten miles back to town on an empty stomach was not an enlivening one. He was surrounded by various groups and single figures resting in the sand. Exhattated by the inter- minable promenade on the pavements above, they came down here and stared helplessly out to sea. That, at least, didn't cost anything. The sculptor in Neil began to stie again. lie had been deprived of his work for two days, and it seemed as many years. What models! ----and a medium ready to his hand, too. Near- est hirre lay a corpulent gentleman of the Hebrew pereua'sion sleeping on his back, with his large new shoes point- ing stiffly to heaven, and his hands clasped tightly on his equator. Evle dently he wile taking no chances with his rings while he slept. "Effigy of a Twentieth CenttirY lenight," thought Nell, with a chuckle, and his hands began involuntarily to shape the damp sand. "No sedietor ever dared depict a man like that," he told hintselfe vaingloriously, and for the moment forgot all about the Tol- son Murder, the police, eveh his insis- tent hunger.

Ingenious Plumber's Rose Was a Success. -"There are more ways than one to kill a cat," says an old proverb, and "there are more ways than one to use a cat," is the new reading. Here is an illustration: A. plumber was -called upon to lo- cate a supposed leak in a ten story tenement house. After a day's cogi- tation and sundry profitless sound- ings and snifflings, he finally hit up- on a plan. He went to a drug store and bought ten cents' worth of fluid extract of valerian -commonly called catnip. Then he took the elevator to the top floor and poured the valer- ian diluted with water down Atte drain. Halt an hour later he took a cat and visited etteh floor in turn. The cat exhibited no interest until a roOm in the seventh storey was reached. Then, with. a bound, it sprang from. his ernes lied began to paw the wall, mewing loudly. A hole was made in the waltatid there, sure enough, was the leak. That plumber deserves to make a tortune from his ingenuity. • 4 1.
