He .swims and crawls 'a- shore where starts anew and strange life. Ho is ignorant, cannot read, and knows nothing of life in a great city.... Beaten and chased by toughs he is rescued by a Jewish fancily living off the Bewery in the rear of then' second-hand clothing ;,tore.. , Here he is openly courted by the young daughter, lateen fights bul- lies ni self-defense and soon is picked up by an unscrupulous man- ager anager who cheats him—until "Pug" Malone at the saloon -fight club, at- tracted to the boy, takes him under his wing. . On the other side of the picture are the wealthy Van Horns of Fifth Avenue. There is a Gilbert Van Horn, last of the great family, a bachelor, in, whose life is a hidden chapter with Ms mother's maid—who leaves the home—to be lost in the city life—:when Gilbert is accused. . . . It was reported the maid married an old captain of a riv- er tug—rather than retnim home— and was soon a mother.—Under Mai - one's guardianship young Breen de- velops fast.—"Pug" discovers the boy cannot read—starts him to night school and the wctld commences to open for Johnny Breen.—Malone, an old -tinier, is backed in a health - farm venture—,taking 13 -eon with him. There they meet and come to know Gilbert Van Ilorn. John at- tracts Van Horn, who learns of Rreen's mother, named Harriet.

In fact, if she was not engaged, anti piqued, and what not, John might have vory.easily been a here in her eyes. That horrible night at the tunnel shaft, and the frightful garlic smell of the acetylene, and the and mucking out rock, of punching a long tunnel; miles and miles of it, two and some places four •city blocks straight, down in the rock crust of the earth, of lining it with concrete, mixed by machinery, spaded and tamped behindsteelforms, at fitting monster bronze gates and valves, of carrying out the magnificent details of conception, all unthought of, un- sung, unknown, except in its lists of deaths, occupied John Breen, C.E., through the winter and into the spring of 1912. A month later, John was visiting Harboard at the University. "I've had a taste of the city work, I'm go- ing to stick, This place," nodding out of the high window, "is so full of big things it's a challenge to a fellow with a grain of kick in him. That bridge off there," -pointing to bhe huge new span of massive steel rising above Hell's Gate, "is enough to make a man stick. I've hail •^• taste of this for some time, it's full of chances. Dammit, Harboard, this city is a challenge to a man. You've bent of T ' almond. the mining en- gineer? Well, he said something the other day. "This is n. big man's town,' was his advice. "Go west. nv go anywhere, if von feel yourself to be about the average. but if you have the punch, stick in New York—and win!" Gilbert and Jcsephine were in Par- is in early April. Josephine com- pleted her trousseau, Rantoul had gone on ahead to London. Then they were at the Cecil for a few days. Rantoul had preceded them. A let- ter from John ;'cached Van Horn as they ive"e about to embark for New York. Pug Malone was waiting for his return. He had planner' a walk- ing trip through the Berkshires. ""Ft regular Malone hike." John had writ- ten. "Pug wants to get away from his work. He's had a. rotten winter. Greenbough 'filled with bad livers. I stn full of tunnel air and need a change.

Gilbert Van Horn carefully folded the letter and gave a sigh of satisfaction. Ps suddenly drew her to him, fiercely—nor didshe resist confusion, began tolook less crude. John certainly did carry himself with an air of confidence, and—and how easily he had assumed the character of a gentleman! Josephine noted this especially. Of late Gerrit Ran- toul had told her. a great deal about John's early life on he Bowery and in the Ghetto, and things he had picked up in conversing with Mal- one, It seems John Breen had lifted himself far above his normal sta- tion in life. Fortunately, for Ran- toul, Van Horn had no idea of this phase of his conversations with Jose- phine. "Rantoul's going over on business" Van Born remarked to John. "Fine that'll keep Josephine se eupied. He's handy." John had no special reason to accept Rantoul as anything but a very agreeable old man. "When you are • married, next spring. I'll have a very important thing to say, John" Van Horn held John's band, looked steadily into his. eyes. Their glances dimmed mos mentality. "Gilbert dear, John's mine,. not yours. Give ire a chance, please." A sudden mood seized her, there on the deck she hugged John, his arm was over her shoulder, their lips. met. Gilbert Van -Horn, a smile on his face, stood near them. Suddenly his ashen look seemed to wash away. He became genial, agreeable. Ile looked at Rantoul but that distinguished cosmopolitan was busy waving at friends on the.<viler?. A whistle was blowing.

But stars have long been ig- nored by men, or they have been conjured with, it matters very little to the stars, and few attended them that night. Dinner was over and Gilbert Van Horn busied himself in the stroking room, playing solitaire, a demi-tasse and his pipe keeping him occupied. Aunt Wen bad retir- ed to her state room, the night was slightly chill, a breath of the outer voids, a touch of the etherial cold. Few were out, but Josephine, on the arm of Rantoul, both in ample steamer oats, walked the deck, broad and white, like a lighted avenue in a deserted city. In a spirit of adven- ture.
