Ig- norant, unschooled, and fear driven, he drags himself ashore, bides in the friendly darkness of a huge covered truck -only to be kicked out at dawn —and into the midst of a tough gang of river rat boys who beat and, chase him• IIe escapes and, exhausted, tumbles into a basement doorway. Later, be hears the trap door slam- med, a padlock snapped down—and he is trapped. Exhausted, he falls asleep. When be awakens it is day light and he looks about for a place to wash the river slime from face hands and body. The running water attracts the attention of a Jewish fancily living in the rear of their se- cond-hand clothing store. He is res- cued—taken into the family—and there starts a new life on the Bow- ery in New -York. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "No Teethe, it's too hot." "You're 'fraid. That's what. You don't dast to go."

"All right, don't give it him,." she retorted to his repeated protest. "When be finds gout—you look out. You 'ain't so smart," she warped. "John can sue you for damages, for back wages, some clay. Give him something now --five dollars," Becka had argued. "Nb! No! Lipvitch knew the danger also the expense. "You got to. You got to pay him something today." Becica was in- sistent, and, as John entered the Emporium on,his return from an er- rand a few .doors away, Becks bent a parting glance of warning on her father, her eyes threatening expos- ure as she nodded meaningly at John. Lipvitch had his band in his pocket. He fingered a coin, a half then in a prudent flood of generosity he seized a silver dollar. "Here, Chow,!" his throat was hus- ky. "Here, Chan, I god someding by yen,' IIe spoke rapidly. "A dollar —you carnal idt—vages, Chon—re- member, vages," he repeated, hand- ing the boy the large coin, thrusting it toward hint impulsively, as if a- fraid Jchn would not accept. "Ant remember.

"Str'ictly in private" It was a suggestive package, retailing at twenty-five cents, or two bits, and' sold wholesale to candy •choppers on trains at seven, 'flat, a gross. Sol sold few of the crayon enlargements but did get rid of his entire stock of spicy packages to -the farmers and their hands, even disposing of thein to ,women by the simple ,process of refusing to even tell theins what he was selling. On his return to the city, Sol found. Backs in a receptive frame of mind 'and John Breen pursuing his way in dogged silence: Becka'sl efforts,, balked by his awkward inexperience, had at least served to place him up- on a meager wage, in the size of which she evinced small interest.

An hour later, in the dark of ea- ly evening, the girl and boy, arm in arm, strolled far from the crowds, a- bout the Clothing Emporium. "Have you got any money?" Bac Ica asked this frankly. • "Lipvitch—,Hour father" he cor- rected. "give rare a dollar today." His hand gripped it in the bottom of the large trouser pocket, the one without the hole.' He showed the bright silver coin to Beeka. "Say---" Beeka elaspecl his arm with an insinuating pressure, leaning toward and in front of John, as site looked up into his face, for he was a head' taller than the girl. "Say what?" he asked. shoving her back somewhat roughly in his. embarrassment. "You're green," she laughed ner- vously.

"You don'! �^ h't he added rfor teething," s have to work g, hastily: "Pa should pay you," she urged, again looking up into hit face, still holding his arm, but re- fraining from closer contact. The boy walked straight ahead and fail- ed to answer, "You should get a dallier a day,"' Becka Ioontinucjd, "and board too—he would have to give it—I will make hint," she said positively.

The .first drops of rain found them oblivious to the coining storm. The boy, ill clad, hard, in body, with few ideas but those of strife, released .the girl: her sudden "Ohl" coming with the return of breath almost crushed out of her. John jumped up, nicked up his etraw hat, and pulling her by the arm led her to the bole of a huge sycamore whose broad leaves promised some shelter from the rani. Quick flash- es of lightning, followed by hash rumbling peals of thunder, were punctuated by the puny cries and screams •rf women running from the park as sudden swirls of cool air and rain whipped about the trees. Then John and Beeka, like Paul and virgins of the story, naked, not of body hut of mind raced beneath the trees and the lashing of the storm for the park gate at Fifth Avenue and. Fifty-ninth Street.

To Ameriea, New York was Rome, and still is; the feudal city of the Western World, taking tribute from the ends of the earth. Other cities may attempt to dispute this, but New York, true to its name, keeps rising new and fresh and more pow- erful from its cwn continuous diem te.gration, shafts of steel and stone r pringing; constantly under way. The wrecks and mistakes of the pari feed ambition, flaring to Higher and dizzier achievement. GEORGE ELLIOTT 'Licensed Auctioneer for the County of Huron 'Correspondence promptly answered.

The cedar spindle showed marks of a crude flint knife. Canadian Scouts have revived the old. Indian fire malting method of "rubbing sticks." and ev- ening camp fires frequently are lit in this fashion. Never was the town so young and bright and hopeful as on the summer night when John and Becka, far from their environment, walked on air, and literally rode on it, as they sped up -town on the West Side L. The squat, green -bellied steam 10-, comotive puffed and wheezed, blow- ing its whistle as it approached the curves, where 'Becks with au "Ohl" clung close to John; they sat in a cross seat by an open window. Descending at Fifty-ninth Street Becka led him eastward to Columbus Circle. The tall shaft in the center, the different aspect of the people, the absence of push carts, and tine dearth of children, puzzled John. Dodging the whirling stream of cyc- lists, they entered the shaded walks cf Central Park through a rustic arbor. The dusty white macadam drives were lively with the prance of foam -flecked turnouts, and the "clank" and "clink" of fashionable harness trappings. And with the black art of this night of swift unusual motion and of rare sights, with Beeka, soft and' confiding, clinging closely on his arm, with the dread of Grogans for gotten in the distant alleys of the slums, the boy expanded . to an in- fluence beyond the measure' of his understanding. He felt the secretive whispering of the dark. Far to the North, from the diree- tion of the Mall, band music filtered through the leaves, for the air was still, and presently captured moon- light, prisoned in a lake, was dis- covered through a parting of the trees. John and Beeka turned . to- ward this, to the lower walks, the perfect ones planned long ago `by a master gardener.
