He was very young, not yet out OF
his teens. He had plenty Of natural
quckness and brightness, which had
struggle for existence, involving con-
tact with only the seamy side Of hui
manity. Short iii stature and slight
in physique himself, he had an over
whelming respect for strength. He
had drifted from pillar TO post since
he was left on his own resources as n
lad He had blacked boots, sold news
papers, served as messenger, acted as
an apprentice In machine shop ana
finally drifted into the employ Of big
department store. assisting n driver
and delivering bundles. He had picked
up reading, writing and arithmetic,
but the only advantage he had taken
OF this educational foundation was to
meet the requirements Of his work.
He recognized the saloon keepers as
powers In the land-persons who WELD
great influence i'm politics, and whose
hands consequently help To guide the
affairs Of the nation. He grew to envy
those who had money. and he longed
for an opportunity to waste dollars
as he saw others doing.
He found at his corner one evening
O man who had returned from the race
track with n pocketful OF winnings,
who was anxious to celebrate his luck
by debauch. and who sought merry
company. The result was disastrous
for the youth. whose brain became in
famed with liquor, and who wished to
pose before his new friend.
The evening was not worry far ad-
vanced when n street fight varied the
monotony for passers. One blow fellcd
the elder man, who lay stunned on the
sidewalk. A policeman who had been
standing across the street could not
avoid seeing the occurrence, and hur-
ried over TO stop the now frightened
youth, who resisted arrest until sub.
dued by few violent strokes of the
night stick. He then became very
penitent, and with tears in his tones
begged for rslcasc. He had, however
gone too far, and with his late an.
tagonist by his side, he started for the
police station.
The youth hung his head when he
heard the change preferred against
him. He answered the questions put
