A boy, his arms folded, leaned on the cabin trunk of a barge, the Cav- alier,, of Haverstraw, "Gee--!"" The boy kept repeat- ing the one word -"Gee!" His arms, bare to above the el- bc,we, were capable arms, browned by the sun. His doubled fists were hard and his face was freckled. The barge carried way with her, as the water slapped her low side, for the Cavalier was at the stern end of a tow. Far ahead a tug, a little wooden puffer, exhausted white va- por in her struggle with the river. The last tow, whipping about as the ourse was changed to avoid the fer- ies, seemed the tail end of a gigan- ic kite, sometimes in view and ometimes lost to sight. A large black double-decker wash - d by, her paddles drumming an en- ergetic tattoo on the sluggish river, her sharp stem carving and curling the water into an open greenish scar, her bows throwing off brave whiskers of seething foam. Rows of I ighted cabin windows marched by him, square ports exuding radiance E. • offering glimpses of a strange nterior region reg on of flashing light and C ongested, breathing crowds. A thought occurred to the boy - how he wanted to know those peo- ple. "Their names must be all diff'- rent. But is there so many names?" He spoke aloud, to himself, as he often did. "They must be more'n a hundred -I guess." The boy was nearly sixteen. Still he great gilt letters on the sides of erry boats were unfathomable to undue complaint, If he drank to ex- cess, Mrs. Breen was not the one to complain. The detachment, and strangeness of the broad river suit- ed Harriet Breen. She sang to her baby boy, A calm insensibility ,pos- sessed her, She was still a hand- some woman, twenty years younger than the captain, when the Cavalier rounded the Battery on that misty evening in spring. The years go fast on the river, John Breen became a strong and capable barge hand, an expert swim- mer, a great Delp and comfort to his mother. Suddenly he had grown ahnost over night. The fact that his Iaugh and a certain trick of pawing through his hair reminded her of an- other wild impetuous boy caused Harriet Breen to flush. John's fa- ther had been only a few years old- er, when she came to the Cavalier. • "We got to put Johnny to school," Mrs. Breen remarked._ to Captain Breen, busy at the small coal stove, turning a pan of biscuits with the hem of her apron. "All right, Mother, we'll send him when we lay up this year." He be- gan filling his pipe. "It's getting mighty thick." "Where we now?" "Turned up of the East River. Them's the Fulton Ferry bells. I'll call John-" Johnny, his eyes drawn into the deepening blur of the warm envelop- ing night, hearing strange sounds, thinking huge thoughts, heard the talk below, coming up out of the square of light. How he loved his mother! He was going to school- perhaps to school in the city -the monumental city shrouded in the fog. Suddenly there was a crash! eee ach succeeding trip found him gazing in growing fascination toward the piles of buildings banked upon the shore. m. He searched his mind for a aning--but all letters were weird, sterious. Wheeling. His eyes iced the similarity of form. Down in the little cabin of the valier, the boy, John Breen, of - lay in his bunk, behind the dress - listening to Mother Breen read - aloud, or half aloud, her lips oving, "Speaking out of the pap - " Captain Breen, who held all ok learning in contempt, listened such occasions, and smoked his e, shifting his short legs about in easy fashion, his eyes peering am under shaggy eyebrows, "Mo- or kin read!" Johnny Breen always id this to himself whenever he ought of reading. Johnny Breen had been around e city many times, but each suc- eding trip around the Battery .ind him gazing in growing fascin- on toward the piles of buildings nked upon the shore. He noted d remembered many things about city. The sharp metallic clang fire engines, the clatter of horses, n -shod hoofs on Belgian blocks; harsh rattle of elevated trains - fast w fast they went! Would he ever e on vne? i aptain i3reett was a dogmatic in, close on sixty, a squat, incap- e man, seeing but a short distance ough a veil of red, Harriet sen, the woman who marrie'tl him, raged hint.

His 'muscles were sore, his head throbbed, he was sick, nause- ated, from the vile water he had swallowed. The world spun .about him in 'a maelstrom of disaster. He stood, then walked unsteadily in the dark. He saw the dim shadow of a covered van. It offered shelter, be climbed in, He sank between two bales, the sounds of the river were stilled, The water was blotted from his clothing, a warm glow crept ov- er him; strong arms seemed to en- fold him. The terror and turmoil of the night melted away. THE GHETO Johnny was awakened by the movement of the wagon. "Mama!" he cried with a start of terror. The horror of the night burst upon him anew. A torturing thirst closed his throat. His torn shirt was streaked with mud and grease. His hair was matted with dried slime. His 'eye -]ids stuck to- gether, his swollen lips were dry and hot and his pants were hanging by half their buttons. His bare feet and legs were bruised with dry mud and manure. He began to cry, tears forcing through down his pitiful face. He had the aspect of a for- lorn waif, only his bare body was brown and muscular, but his mouth curled down and utter sorrow claim- ed him. His bed, among the bales of waste paper, was jerking and swaying, and as he cried, a canvas flap was lift- ed. An evil face glared into the van. "What tha hell!" A thick and un- friendly voice shouted at him. The face had a wicked mouth, edged with broken teeth, brown ad green. John saw a monster, a dragon, glaring and cursing him. "Git tha hell out of there! Git out, ya crummy rat!" Johnny, still crying,sat up amid the bales. His head bumped the rigs of the van. He rubbed dirt into his eyes and smeared the dried filth on his face wet with tears: He was a dismal sight. "Out ya git!" The driver reached for his whip; Johnny slipped back over the load of paper. "Out an' to hell wit ya!" The teams, fresh, full of fear, sensing the whip, started on the gallop with the heavy load. The wagon reeled toward the curb and Johnny, sliding clown from the bales of paper, dropped to the tailboard out under the end flap. He let go and fell to the gutter, stunned by his impact with the cobblestones. • The street was on a fringe of ten- ements, where , the Ghetto touches the wharves. It was a fearsome nei- ghborhood. High houses loomed over him, strange smells and noises confounded him as he slowly rose to his feet, standing in the midst of a curious crowd of half-grown child- ren who suddenly materialized, as if sprung from the stones. It was an eager Saturday morning crowd of waterfront boys -a gang. "Hully chee, lookit dat bran! What in 'ell's bitin"'im? H'e's lousy. Whew what a stink!" The crowd rubbed near Johnny. e turned as they milled about, He acked to the center of the street nd stood defiant, legs apart, his rousers torn and half clown, covered IN ith dirt, his shirt ragged and treaked, his matted yellow hair ov- r his eyes. Hostile boys closed in nd surrounded him. "Doity. Where ja come, outta ala sewer? Hey stinkey! Soak 'im! Lem - me at 'im!" Several bigger boys, tough, dar- ing, with the heartless ethics of the pack, kicked and cuffed as Johnny turned in torment. Idle men in shallow derbys, men in black coats, and beardedmen such as John had ever seen, paused to watch the oys. "De Grogan Geng is out! Oy, what business, de Grogan Geng!" The ugh boys were really the Grogan ang, or part of them. A boy tall - than the rest, wearing a dented erby, came . close to Johnny and pat in his face, A hard dirty brown at shot out with desperate force, he tall boy howled, his derby roll - g at his feet in the gutter. The ow was 'utterly . unexpected. It tight him in the stomach, and he oublcd tip. The crowd backed and en carne at Johnny, "He hit 'tin below de belt. He . tiled 'ins." The crowd looked ugly, cl missies gathered from the gut- ter began to fly. "I.ifl him!" Sud-: ctenly there was a hush. Down by the river a blue coat Moved toward therm. "Cheese it, de cops; 'Cheese The brick barge Cavalier of Haverstraw, McGurtney Broth ers H Brick Company, collided with an b unknown craft in. the East River a just south of Brooklyn Bridge t during the heavy fog last night and sank. Captain Breen, wife, s and son are missing, e At the point where Manhattan a shoves an elbow into the river and the Brooklyn Bridge swings high above the shipping, we must take up the story of Johnny Breen, His dreaming kept him on deck. The conversation below, the warm myst- ery above, the river moaning and whispering, held him in a spell. Then a terrific blast was followed instant- ly by a crash of rending wood, the n snarl of rushing water, the panic cry "b of Mother Breen-- 4:Johnny!" It was the last word he heard; he was toss- a ed over the side'by the sudden imn- to pact and sank beneath the surface. G The weight of water drummed in his e. ears as he went down. d He struck out boldly. Ile gained $ the line of piers, his Bands slipped fi from t1e slimy cluster piles, he washed upstream, swimming bravely. in At the next pierhead be made a des- bl Aerate effort, lifted himself on a ca cleat roughly nailed to the piling, 'd It was the hottotn of one of those th rude ladders sometimes ° found on pier ends; devices nailed by the riv- et rats -the thieves. Johnny Breen all dragged his aching body above the water, climbed to the stringpiece and rolled exhausted in the mud. For a time Johnny Breen lay 'there it, beat it! Cops!" The crowd began to run, Johnny Breen at their head, having dashed through the circle of boys under a rain of tib cans and refuse ,By a supreme effort he distanced the ;niob and. the .Grogans, long lost in the rear and off for other excite- uients, but the wave continued. Johnny running' into newer and stranger crowds,' suddenly was greet- ed by a terrific crash of noise as he dodged under the shadow of a cross street. The maw of the city seem- ed about to grasp and grind him, body and soul. In a final effort to escape annihilation, he closed his eyes and plunged headlong into a hole; a human rat seeking oblivion. He jumped into an open basement doorway -an elevated train thunder- ed overhead and behind him. For a long time he lay in the hole, his head doubled under his arms, in a dark, damp corner among rubbish. All was dark; many trains passed by, and he began to regain his breath and sense. At last he determined to crawl toward the light, when the trap door to the walk flopped down. He heard the snap of a padlock. (To Be Continued) TORONTO HURON OLD BOYS' PICNIC Old Sol smiled and chased Jup. Pluv. away. At one time a rain in- surance policy wasn't worth 29c in Soviet money.

It would seem, therefore, that everyone would want to have sound, healthy teeth. Good teeth are.the product of good building materials. You cannot have good teeth if you do not take into your body with your food the sub- stances required in the construction of strong, sound teeth. From before birth, on through the years of growth, during which time the teeth are being built up, the diet of the mother and child must contain,'along with other food essentials, the min- erals required to make good bones and teeth. These minerals are available in milk, fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grain cereals. Unless these foods are used in sufficient quantity by the expectant and nursing moth- er, and, by the child during his years of growth, the teeth will be of ppor quality and will not likely be 'healthy in spite of the care which may be given to them later. This does not mean that the teeth are to be neglected. The teeth are to be kept clean by regular brush- ing. The best teeth are the' result of proper food and regular cleaning. Even poorly built teeth, the result of iinproper diet, benefit by the reg- ular use of the tooth brush. The tooth brush should be used after each 'meal . to remove particles of food remaining about the teeth. These particles remaining in the mouth decay and ferment, and : so, dead to damage . of the •enamel. This can and should be avoided. The most important time to clean the teeth, the time which should never be ne- glected, is after the evening meal' before retiring. The health of the teeth and of the gums has a very direct influence up- on the general health. The presen- ce of a small amount of pus at the= root of a tooth, the result of the ac- tivity of some gernms, may be res- ponsible for serious conditions aris- ing in other parts of the body. The tooth may look healthy, even though it has hidden in its root this collec- tion of poison. Your dentist will, if' you give hire the opportunity by re- gular visit to his office, detect and! correct such conditions before they can do harm. Healthy teeth can be secured and; kept healthy by eating the right kind' of food; by regular cleaning and by regular periodic dental supervision and treatment when required, In this way, not only will the health of the teeth be cared for, but the gen- eral health of the body will be as- sisted and the body protected against the serious menace which arises from diseased teeth.
