Fortune had plainly favored him. One
was fastening out of the Waldorf-As-
toria, the other was standing there on
the sidewalk, looking wistfully through
the plate glass windows where he could
Suddenly the little fellow spied the 9TH

regulation naval salute. The big man
returned it involuntarily and stopped
in his hurried course.

The officer grasped the seaman's hand
IN hearty shake.
'Out of work, SIR" said thu ex-gun-
ner, ruefully. Il came to the States
seven months ago and got job as a
puddler at the Carnegie Works in Pitts
burg, and some of us got laid off in the
summer, and 1 was one of them. So
came here to see if there was anything
to do. But it's no use, sir, for the likes

I'm very sorry to hear it. Billings, I"
said the Admiral kindly, stretching his
hand down into his pocket and bring

He peeled off several and handed
them to the man. From another pock-
eft he produced a card which went with
the bills.

he said, while I am in New York.
Brace up now, man, and don't get dis
