SYNOPSIS
Johnny Breen, 15 years old, who
had spent all of his life aboard a
Hudson river tugboat plying near
New York, is tossed into the river
in a terrific collision which sinks the
tug, drowns his mother and the man
he called father. Ignorant, unschool-
ed ,and fear driven, he drags himself
ashore, hides in the friendly dark-
ness 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.
He escapes and, exhausted, tumbles
into a basement doorway where he
hides. The next day lie is rescued
and taken into the home of a Jew-
ish family living in the rear of their
second-hand clothing store. He
work in the sweatshop store—and is
openly courted by Becka—the young
daughter. . . . The scene shifts to
the home of the wealthy Van Horns:
—on 5th Avenue, where lives the
bachelor — Gilbert Van Horn — in
whose life there is a hidden chapter.
That chapter was an affair with his
mother's maid, who left the house
when he was accused.
The Eves of Johnny Breen and
Gilbert Van Horn first cross when
Van Horn sees Breen win his first
important ring battle.
Pug Malone, fight trainer, rescues
young Breen from a crooked manag-
er, takes him in hand, finds Breen
cannot read and starts him to• night
school.
Malone, an old-timer, is backed in
a health -farm venture --taking Breen her hand as the car stopped. She

a way men are natural and simple be-
hind the bar of a Bowery saloon,
John, without knowing it, practiced
the ultimate in correct behavior he
was completely at his ease, as he saw
no reason to be otherwise,.
Josephine, after John evidenced 'iib:
awkward signs of stage fright, and
seemed endowed with an inherent
gentleness, went to remarkable
lengths in the process of his further
education. He held •'her naturally,
skillfully, and picked up the latest
dance steps with astonishing'facility.
She took him , to the exclusive Des
detnona Dances at the St. Botolph.
John was accepted everywhere thru
the introduction of Van Horn.
John's period of rest had come'to
a close. His last day had been
strangely quiet. His nerves were no
longer on edge, but in the depth of
his being he felt a sinking sensation
of loss. Of course John Breen was
more than merely interested in Jo-
sephine.
Returning from Pagliacci alone.
with Josephine one evening the car
jolted as they swung across Forty-
second Street, and Josephine uttered
a startled "Ohl" as they skidded on
the slippery street when brought to
a sudden stop behind a jam, a bus
having blocked the crazy, unregulat
ed traffic just as it started moving
prize ahead of him in the mighty
City of New York. On his chiffon-
ier was the, likeness of Josephine
in decollete and with a rose in her
hair. Visitors to his room ' would
glance at it approvingly. Malone and
Harboard were there.
"A kick goes further than a kiss,
when you're arguin' with a jackass.",
Malone` swung a polished boot, one
leg over the study table in John's
room.H
arboard was in the chair by
the window and John sat on the'
conch. "That kid there needed a
lack, anL you give it to him, good
an' hard." They. were holding a post
mortem over John's breakdown, and
his almost immediate recovery. The
city had simply floored him for a
few counts and he was again on his
feet, better than ever. "What John
needs is strong medicine. I've train-
ed him, tended, bar 'long side of him,

If he 'had thought, he could have

imprint of his lips.
The car slid to stop 'before the
house in the middle Fifties. They sat
holt upright. Both were wiser than
before.
Back in *the dormitory John ar-
ranged his work in a methodical way
looked through his books as if cont-
ing back to old friends, filled his fav-
orite pipe from his dry, tobacco in
the humidor, looked out of the \vin-
dow over the roofs of Harlem, look-
ed at himself in. the mirror and stall-
ed, Well, after all, he had a great
letter for which he had struggled
during four years that once seemed
so long and then lay behind him like
a sudden dream. It had been a fight
—it was always a fight in the great-
er city.
He kept looking at his sheepskin,
an elaborate parchment, quaintly
stating that he was entitled to "all
the rights, privileges and immunities
thereunto appertaining." He went to
Greenborough carrying the precious
screed clutched in his fist. Here was
something to show to Pug, to prove
that his studies had not been entire-
ly in vain. Behind him the last days
of the commencement kept recurring,
brilliant flashes, intermingled with
his dreams of what was to conxe,
with thoughts of Josephine and com-
fortable interesting problems he
would discuss with Gilbert Van
Horn. Never had the campus been
5o afire with the spirit of youth.
Gilbert Van Horn returned to
town and spent a week with John
and Pug at Greenborough. He had
kept away from the commencement.
"Not feeling any too fit," was his
excuse. In fact Gilbert was getting
very dose to the point where he
would have to make a clean breast
of things and take his chances with
John — but always hoping against
hope that something would turn up,
"in a natural way," He kept his
thoughts to himself and devoted a.
large part of his time to watching
Josephine. Gerrit Rantoul, so he be-
gan to realize, was making remark-
abel progress with his ward. Ran-
toul was a romantic figure, a man
with a past shrouded in the glamour
of adventure, of Smith American and

now the huge final bore, beneath

more feet in the solid rock of the

magnificent enterprise, a cause, a
crusade, .a direct reply to those who
give scant honor to the engineer.

plished in a moment. These hien.

TOO LATE
There are no other words used in
medicine which tell such a sad story
as the two words "too late." They
are infinitely sad because they imply
that there was a period of time when
it would not have been too late, a
time wlrsn' help might have been giv-
en,
It is unfortunately true that there
are many things concerning the
cause, prevention and treatment of
disease that we do not icnow. How-
ever, what is known is of greatest
value—indeed it often has its only
value—when used early in the course
of development of disease.
It can be fairly stated, in the vast
majority of cases of illness, if the
disease were treated early the patient
would in ail Iikelihood be cured, or
at least the condition would be im-
proved. On the other hand, it is
equally true that, in most cases, very
little can be done for disease that is
far advanced or firmly fixed in a
chronic form.
Early treatment' is urged, because.
it is the best way to secure results.
Delay in securing treatment is al-
most sure to lead to a more prolong-
ed and more `.serious, if not fatal cori-
dition,
