heel of bread and drank his tin cup of
coffee and looked out through the par

women who were being mustered for

the other end of the corridor He Won

Then turnkey in blue Game and
opened his cell door.
"Come on" said the turnkey, and
Hazen followed upstairs into hot
room where a big captain with gray
mustachc sat at the desk.
The captain looked at IIazen intently
and said: IL don't know him."
Other men with mustaches came in
and looked at Hazen. They didn't
know him, either, and they regretted to
say it. 1t showed n lack of profession
al knowledge not to be able to identify
any Stranger as professional crook.
"How long have you and Eddie been
working together?" one of them asked.
"I've never worked with him." said
Hazen. 1--we been looking for work all

"You keep away from Eddie an his
crowd" This meant that Hazen was
free to go.
He started to leave the station and
was attracted by the buzz of the court
room. He went in, hoping to see Eddie
again. The crowd around the magis-
trate was shifting and noisy. Cases
were being tried, but Hazen could not
follow them in the confusion of sounds.
At last he saw Eddie coming out of
the throng, held by a turnkey.
He slipped forward along the wall
and touched him on the arm.
Hello, there" he said.
Eddie turned and grinned.

THE place known as 'Larry's Lunch
is a narrow hole in the wall be-
tween two frame houses. The build
ings are so old and weak that they lean
toward each other in their decrepitude.
The street in front is muddy and cobbled.
Street lamps are far apart. They burn
low, as if there was not the oxygen in
this neglected air to feed cheerful
flame. The sunken and rotting side
walk of wood is slippery to the foot.
A kerosene lamp propped in the front
window of "Larry's Lunch" showed as
a mere smudge o! light behind the dirty
panes.
John Hazen lifted the loose iron latch
and there came into his nostrils, like
the breathing from foul creature, the
smell of poverty, frying grease and bad
tobacco.
But he had to eat. He hal not eaten
for "a hours. a Jew dealing in pawns
and junks had given him ten cents for
his pocketknife, the last of his con-
vertible property.
At "Larry's Lunch" he could get
meat, bread, potatoes and coffee for ten
cents. He ordered and then leaned for
ward on the rough table, with his chin
in his hands, while the meat sizzled in
the pan and rancid smoke filled the
low room.
His uncle had been right.
"You take your share of the money
and go to Chicago and you'll be broke
within six months" the uncle had said.
"You're fool with money. Any mans
a fool with money, unless it's money
he's earned"
81 know my business he had said
to his uncle.
After which they had parted, with
the understanding that if John Hazen
ever needed money he would not come
to his uncle for it.
Yes, his uncle had been right A fool
with his money? Diamonds which he
had worn clumsily-bravado betting a.
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to new-made
friends-experiment at the bucket
shop. Six months of it and he had just
sold his pocketknife that he might
eat a shred of carrion in this hole and
be alive for another DAY.
Oh, what a triumph for those who
had warned him--those who had
told him he was fool with
money! What rejoicing there would be
at home when they heard of it-and
they would hear of 1t, because in small
towns they hear of everything. They
would be glad, he was sure-all except
Aunt Ella.
"She was the only one who ever cared
for me-" he said, half aloud, q hiding
his fists on the table. but 1 don't
i. care"
Then, because he didn't care, he let
his head fall down into the angle of
his right arm and there in the dark
ness which he had made for himself he
cried. He was only % years old.
The front door clicked and slammed.
Larry, who was both cook and waiter
Gin red flannel shirt chopped off at the
elbows), brought the meat and coffee.
John Hazen pulled himself up from the
table. Before him, talking to Larry,
stood a very small young man, with
square Shoulders, a pointed nose, jet
black eyes and IA mouth twtching into
q smile whenever he spoke. This young
man wore plaid cap, with a short
peak. His coat collar was turned up,
and within IL, was blue and white
handkerchief knotted closely around
his neck.
"If he comds around here, you tell
him l want tofee him." this young man
was saying I Larry.

The first person to leave the burning
steamer was baggagemaster Jaynes,
who gave the alarm to the sleeping pas
sengers. When the smoke and flames
forced him from amidships he, almost
exhausted, made a leap for the sea. In
doing so he struck his head against the
guard rail and was stunned, falling into
the water helpless. A launch from the
steam yacht Kismet picked him up and
carried him to the Kismet, where the
brave fellow died shortly after being

The Nutmeg State had hardly struck

to the blazing deck. A man passenger,
who was trying to keep himself afloat
on an oar, became exhausted and was

a dozen or SO of her freight handlers are
said to have taken possession of the
first life boats launched. They fought
back any of the women or men who
tried to get into the boats, and refused
to take the children. 1t was impossi-
bic for Captain Brooks ito control the
rough, cowardly freight handlers, and
they were utterly oblivious to the perils
of the paSsengers When the passengers
were forced from this lifeboat, it dou-
bled the demands on a second boat,
which was lowered and a wild scramble
of the panic-stricken people ensued.
This boat was overloaded and overturn-
ed. 1t could not be righted, and the
men, women and children remained i'll

until help arrived from the few passing
