akin to relief, he passed through the
audience room a free man.
"When once I get we'll out of all this, ;"
he thought, "I'll get the Legislature to
provide fund for supplying discharged
prisoners with square meal. I'd al
most give my liberty for sirloin steak
with lyonnaise potatoes"
What to do to get this desirable re-
-freshment was problem. He looked
up and down the avenue a moment and
then returned to the courtroom. He
inquired of an officer near the door about
the elderly lady who had carried off his
park acquaintance.
Il will at least let the young widow
know that 1 am no convict" he thought,
and no did not disguise from himself a
hope that she would help him somehow
in his straits.
The officer told him that the lady
came to court every day, exercising her
charitable disposition in assisting limo
cent prisoners who were unable to &C.
cure legal advice.
"But she won't do any thing for you,
added the officer; ''she draws the line at
men,"
Nevertheless Lawrence obtained her

away, and gave her no chance TO reply.
Lawrence, half crazed at being thus in
terrupted, was following them when a
hand was laid upon his shoulder; and,
as he turned about, the policeman who
had directed him 20 Murray street stood
before him.
Look here, young feller," said he,
Il saw de young woman give you some
thing, an that's enough for you, see?
Don't you follow her no more"
Drane couldn't abide the idea of an
other incarceration, and he obeyed the
policeman's instructions, with wrath in
his soul. And yet, when he cooled
down bit. he perceived that his condi-
ton had been ameliorated to the extent
of one silver dollar, consideration by
no means to be overlooked. He had
never till that moment realized the
evalue of money. In the blessed thought
that he could at last buy something like

name. and address, and set of to call
upon Mrs. Bowers far up on Madison
avenue. He amused himself on the way
by trying to estimate how long his vital
forces would endure miles of walking
every day without any renewal of the
tissues, and by specializing as to what
stage of starvation would be the most
painful. Now and again he became dizzy
and almost lost consciousness, which led
him to think that perhaps he had COM
passed the worst part of starvation al
ready.
Mrs. Bowers was at home and she re-
ceived Drane in tiny room which she
evidently used as an Office for her char
liable work.
Madame" began Drane, ST am in

"Oh, yes," interrupted Mrs. Bowers.
"You are the man who went to her aid
in the park, HIM. That was a very
worthy thing to do" and she eyed him
critically through her glasses. Law
renee felt so oppressed by this fresh hui
initiation that he hung his head. Mrs.
Bowers continued: ''I should not have
expected it of you. have made long

warn you that you can not impose on

"Quite impossible" interrupted Mrs.
Bowers, placidly. "She is young and

Madame, said Drane, huslzily, ''you
have done me injustice and given
me pain that is worse than all the ills
that have come on me since arrived in
New York. I decline your charity, and
you may rest assured that no extremity
of misery will ever make me regret my
course"
With that he bowed haughtily and
stalked from the house, while Mrs.
Bowers looked shocked and made an
entry in her book of charitable work as
to the evil pride that keeps some men
from acknowledging the superiority and
goodness of others,

CHAPTER ".
A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.

Drane had occasionally reflected upon
the possibility of such a misfortune as
had overtaken him, though he had
never carried his imaginings' to the
point which the actualities of the case
had reached. He had supposed in a
general way that there were plenty OF
things to be done by a man in such a
position, but when he ran over the list
in his mind he realized that every
course of action involved painful hui
initiation. He knew that there were
many charitable organizations which
sometimes assisted the distressed,
and at other times distressed the
assisted; but he could not re-
member the names or addresses
of any of them, with the single excep-
ton of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. 1t hadn't come
to that yet, he thought, but there was
no telling when it would. He had gone
to sleep a gentleman and had walked
up tramp; an equal drop in the next
twenty-four hours might make him a
:chimpanzee or a cow
