SYNOPSIS
Johnny green, 16 years old, who
had spent all of his life aboard a tug
boat, plying around New York City,
was anode motherless when an •explo
Rion sank the boat on which be, his
mother and the man he called fath-
er, were living. He is the only sur
vivor, •struggling through the dark-
ness to shore ... At dawn, amid
surroundings entirely unknown, his
life in New York begins. Unable to
read, knowing nothing of life, hers
taken in by a Jewish family, living
and doing a second-hand clothing
business on the Bowery. From the
hour he sets foot in the city he had
to fight his way through against bul-
lies and toughs , , and soon became
So proficient that he attracted the at-
tention of a would-be manager of
fighters who enters him in many
boxing tournaments. , . . It was here
that Pug Malone came into young
Breen's life — an old fighter who
was square and honest . . . He took
Breen under his wing—sent him to
night school and eventually took him
to a health farm he had acquired .
The scene shifts and the family of
-'an Horns of Fifth Avenue is in-
troduced ... Gilbert Van Horn, last
of the old family, is a man about-
town,
bouttown, who meets Malone and Breen
at one of the boxing shows . . Van
Horn has a hidden chapter in his
life . . . which has to do with his
mother's maid, years ago, who left
the family employ when about to be-
come a mother. It was reported that
she married an old captain of a river
craft ... Van Horn has a ward, Jo-
sephine, about Breen's age ... Van
Horn, now interested in John .. pre-
vails upon him to let him finance a
course in, Civil Engineering at Col-
umbia University. John and Jo-
sephine meet—become attached to
each other, Iove grows and they be-
come engaged shortly after Breen
graduates from college . . Josephine
becomes restless as John gives full
attention to his job and sails for
Paris to select her trousseau . , . At
the last moment Rantoul sails on the
same boat. ...At sea the great oc-
ean liner crashes into an iceberg and
sinks all passengers taking to the
lifeboats.
Breen learns that Gilbert Van
Horn was his father:
Back home, Josephine returns
Breen's ring and marries Rantoul,
John, stunned, buries himself in his
work and rises rapidly.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Almon Strauss, cabling from Paris,
urged John Breen to continue the
work of Colfax:
"You have never met me, but I
know and have confidence in you.
We must net despair, no matter how
dark the night. We must go forward
wherever we see aur way or where
we feel our way. Planning must con-
tinue so that later on we will know
what to clot"
John Breen didn't know what to
do. The pay he was getting was ne-
cessary. If only the insatiable city
would calm down, How it tossed and
squeezed and misused its people.
When the youth, Mitchel, was ov-
erwhelmed by the myth, Hylan, when
the shaky city was being pounded
hourly by rumors, in that time when
shipping and omen and dollars mingl-
ed in red carnival, Josephine Rantoul
splurged in a splendid orgy of waste.
She even made money, and she dem-
onstrated her ability -to spend it.
The war carried Gerrit Rantoul in-
to financial whirlpools where he nav-
i
igated with much skill. Munitions
speculations sent his star to dizzy al-
titudes, shot him upward on a rise
of values. Rantoul, at last,' was Many
tithes a millionaire,
Rantoul, at a dollar a year, also
served bis country while his New
York office, in Pine Street, burned
with activity. At the very beginning
of the wild time, a Russian Commis-
sion, beaded by a Grand Duke and
carrying an ;unlimited credit; fell to
the wiles of Josephine. A neoteric
cult to which she subscribed includ-
ed several Russians, who, in return
for lavish entertainment, inducted the
Grand Duke and his advisers to the
genial atmosphere of St, -Botolph and
rhe tender mercies of the great St.
James. Rantoul after this killing, in
which Josephine felt she held a char-
ter interest, fell into the expanding
schemes of George St. James.
Almost without trying, and because
of Josephine. "Clever, you know," he
found himself on the inside in Shell

lar combination of enterprises previ-
ously defunct. Tri -Nitro -Bullion also
flux of following money, came a
classic upward dash, Safety—the
name itself gave security—began to
soar and touched a point where the
stock could not be bought at any
price. Five hundred dollars a share
was offered but few- were wise en-
ough to sell.
Rantoul's new place at Southamp-
ton, bought lock, ' stock and barrel
from a German `dye man, under sus-
picion and therefore subject to forc-
ed sale, appeared in pictures in the
Sunday papers. It was a very elab-
orate place and became the scene of
the fatuous Allied Fair, the'great op-
en air charity fete under the,manage-
ment of the notorious Fugence Tor-
pillier, the Society Ace. Seventy-five
per cent. of the money taken was
clear profit, for Torpillier. But Jo-
sephine; in very becoming frocks,
things with the new military effect,
dawn gray, and sky blue, carried on
her flirtations with an ever widening
effect, She felt no fidelity among ad-
mirers; she never made the fatai'tnis
take of being bound up in any one
man. Poor Rantoul, chanting his lit -
Men hung at her elbow, bent over her, pursued her

with
the inten:eity
began the erection of vast explosive
work in New Jersey, manufacturing
an 'unstable' compound with great
rapidity as its chemists learned the
business, in quantity production tests.
Rantoul, who took on a strange fic-
titious importance, was made Chair
man of the Board. Tri -Nitro soared
to dizzy heights with the booking of
further Russian orders. Josephine did
much to reconcile Gerrit Rantoul for
her many annoying traits.' Tri -Bull,
as it was called on the curb, led Ran-
toul into the picric acid pool, a Sweet
bit of business engineered by St.
James.
St. James, swinging Rantoul with
him at the head of a group of the
more daring newer men, bought a
fleet of lake steamers and founded
the world trading corporation of 'Ja-
son, Fillmorea nd Jones, with pre-
tentious offices on Broadway. This
firm was named after three likeable
chaps in his office. The issue was
listed on the Stock Exchange and
skyrocketed from the start. The
world was hungry for genius, it lapp-
ed up stocks and produced profits,
and fought for the privilege of giv-
ing away its. money.
But St. James' greatest achievment
was Safety Submarine, selling on the
curb at ten, with few buyers, while
jobbers washed the stock in petty
larceny against a few lucky simple-
tons who bought before the upward
trend of war. With the advent of
St. James and Rantoul, and the in-
tle private ditty, at tines tasting le-
cherous eyes at bold telephone tarts,
girls who looked upon him as a pros-
pective sugar papa, to employ terse
terms of the time, nursed a burning
jealousy. The sad part of his predica-
ment was his real love for Josephine,
based upon nothing but futility.
The splurge she made, the bills she
ran, the countless worthless 'follow-
ers who rode in his cars, drank his
liquor, ate his food, began to tell on
him. Men hung at her elbow, bent
over her, pursued her Ewith the in-
tensity of wild infatuation. Then
things began to get a little out of
hand. St. James, in the process of
squeezing bag holders, nipped Gerrit
Rantoul for a million; it was a start.
Josephine had jilted St. James. Then
Tri -Bull was condemned by the
Government as unsafe. The Army
would have none of it. The Navy re-
fused even to use it in depth bombs.
It was reported as an unstable ex-
plosive. Gerrit Rantoullost heavily
in Tri -Bull, finding himself 'possess-
ed of most of St. James' holdings,
exchanged for value before the bad
news seeped through that the stuff
was worthless. It was one of the
little forgotten tragedies among the
big men, well behind the front.
The expensive apartment at the St.
Botolph had been succeeded by a
more lavish suite covering two floors
of the new Du Barry. A super -flat
with private elevators and exclusive'
service, an expensive nest bordering
on the eastern edge of Central Park.
Poor Rantoul fairly groaned when be

tablishment, He was `worn down by

Judge Marvin Belly, white, ruddy
of face, still the stolid substantial 11-.
gore of unshakable integrity, read the
lists of casualties in the club, the
same club where he had so often sat
with his friend,, Gilbert Van Horn.
The old Avenue had seen many stir-
ring marches, and the day when the
great Liberty Loan .Parade swept up
the Avenue he had marched. But his
eyes looked, down the columns of
killings, down the lists of the lost,
the lists of wounded, and then he
found it.
John Breen, Major, llth Engin-
eers. Wounded at Argonne Forest,
"Poor Gilbert. I can almost feel
him here, looking at ,this, but no, he
would have been across too."
John Breen had departed for the
war. John had no particular desire
to fight, or to live. His utter care-
lessness, as is often the case, was set
down as transcendent courage. He
was decorated with the Croix de
Guerre. A month later he forgot it
somewhere, and never mentioned it,
He concentrated, on engineering.
"John has been wounded," Marvin
Kelly; suet Josephine in the St. Bot-
olph. The war was en its last legs.
John had survived. "He'll probably
never get back to the front." A look
of great concern came' into Jose-
phine'.s eyes. "And they've pinned' a
few medals on him, the Croix de
Guerre," he added.
That night Josephine dressed in
somber black, her blond'' hair glearn-
ing. Collar and cuffs of fine white
lace gave her the severe air of a very
high class domestic; a simple gown,
close fitting and exp'ensive.,,
"Gerrit; I'm going across. I feel
it my- duty." '
Thera" the armsitice uproar swept
the greater city, the floodgates 'of re-
lief deluged the avenues' and cross
streets with flying ticker 'tape and.
scraps of paper. The town 'was wild;
crazy. Josephine, in a becoming uni-
form of olive drab, with a shiny Sam,
Browne belt, sailed from the scene
of. her triumps leaving a trail of bills
and an army of domestic servants to
the tender disposition of 'her aged
spouse.
Judge Marvin Kelly, as trustee of
her private fortune, smiled at the
complete and thorough manner in
which this very 'capable and practical
woman had built up the resources of"
the fortune of Van Horn.
Mrs. Wentworth left for Kentucky.
"Thank heaven, for a rest," she add -
"When you see John, give'him my
regards." Judge Kelly had approved
certain agreements as to real. estate,
"Dear Marvin, how lovely of you
to think of him," She kissed the sol-
id old sachem, and was gone.
Gerrit Rantoul, always the gentle-
man, to all outward appearances,
took her to the steamer and then
turned back' to the city to survey the
wreck. That cur St. James, was a
rotter. Jason, Fillmore and Jones, a
paper company, was on the edge of
complete' disintegration. Gerrit Ran-
toul struggled like a Christian to un-
load his stock on others before the
inevitable crash.
The Southampton place went at a
sacrifice. The luxurious apartment in
the Du Barry followed. Rantoul was
badly able to keep ten feet ahead of
the wolves.
"Old Rantoul's on the run." The
word,_was on the street. , His credit
-evaporated. By the most desperate
effort he saved a few thousands, here
and there, and by moving back to his
fraternity club, a rather stuffy place,
with college trimmings, he managed
to hold his own in the city, One

for help. He might be a coward, a
quitter, a rotter, and all of the things
people thought of him, but he never
shouted for assistance from his rich
wife. .
"Damn her!" Gerrit Rantoul hated
Josephine. Hated her so he could not
find words to express his aversion.
Yet, when at last a letter came from
her, he trembled, as he tore it open,
acid cursed her.

OUR ,MOTHERS
There are many people who be-
lieve that a woman; just "because' she
is a woman, knows how to take care
of herself during • pregnancy and al-
so how to care for her baby.'
That such is not the case is shown
by the fact that Since expectant mo-
thers and mothers of young children
have secured advice from qualified
persons, there has been a tremend-
ous reduction in the anlount of: ill-
ness and the number of deaths oc-
curring in these groups.
It was not that parents. of two or
three generations ago Moved their
children; less than do the parents of.
today, but their love could not over-
come the diarrhoeas caused by dir-
ty milk, and so what was known as
"sunnier complaint" 'carried off the
young children in tremendous num-
bers.
We are given intelligence, and by
use of our intelligence we raise our-
selves above the level of animals who''
have no reasoning power. ' We pro-
gress because we make use of the -
knowledge which is made available-
to us from the investigations and ex-
perience of the whole world.
The expectant mother requires
certain medical examinations early in
her pregnancy. Abnormal conditions.
can be corected in the early months,
and their correction may save her
much suffering; indeed it may mean
the saving of her life.
Most pregnancies are perfectly
normal;. the mother has her baby in.
a natural and safe way. The impor-
tant point is that no mother . can
know that her pregnancy' will be a.
normal : one, Proper supervision is,.
the only way by which she can be
assured that the dangers of any ab-
normal condition will be overcome.
Pregnancy should be made not on-
ly safe but comfortable. Thereis no
reason why discomforts should not
be --avoided as far as possible. The
mother wants a healthy baby. and her
own 'health after confinement. These
benefits canbest be; secured through
superviison during pregnancy and
adequate care at confinement.
During pregnancy, the quality and
quantity of foodeaten is of import-
ance. Milk, vegetables and fruits•
should be used in abundance, as they
supply the vitamins and the miner-
als required to build the bones and
teeth of the new baby,
The expectant mother should seek
advice from her doctor. Friends and
others mean well, but generally do
not know: The mother need not fear
that her baby will be marked because
-
of some disagreeable experience. She
should realize that improper food,
lack of fresh air, lack of rest and oth-
er similar conditions will not only
injure' her health but will interfere
with the proper development of her.
baby.
