TRACKED WITH 4 BOYS Hell
In 1888. or within two years, one of my
people reported that lac had seen Brock
way going into an engraver's ONCE on
Broadway. ! knew the engraver. | went
TO see him. | asked him what work he
was doing for a man with a full beard and
a sanctimonious manner and a partly

and Printing. They were nothing that
was known there. We were up a stump.

was returned to the engraver and he made
the letters and gave them TO Brockway.

Maine somewhere.
EARLY in 1893 stories began to come in
that seemed 20 show that B~rockway was
busy again. This time, according To what
We heart, the plan was big He was going

big race tracks all over the country.
