 'Is dere no charge for rising in de ele- { vakor?' Duchess asks.
 An women is alike. but a French goil 0 more alike dan ,odder women. Dere is just two kinds of tings dey wants most: tinga dat cost noting, and tings dat cost more dan dey have de price for. Oats fde reason dey likes diamonds and free ! shows. When I tells her dat one of de elevators in de building was run by fran of mine. and dat de starter was a {. fez1y dat I knows, and wouldn't fire us tf we rode up and down all day. Duchess WIS croisy to be on her way. ! Being French she taught dat dere was . charge for to ride in de elevator; like 0ere fs in Paris Are you on to datf Say. I'm d. little hotel we stopped at in Paris 0re was a dinky little lift, what dey called de acsenseur. and dere was . fcharEe for to ride down in it. but none to ride up. and you had to run it your seff.
 *Dis is no business" says to Duchess swhsn was put wise on de game ''why dis price to ride down, and no price to ride up?'
 She tells mo dat was because when you rode down in it de ofice had to send man to fetch de ting to you. but when .yUu rode up. you fetched it up yourself. Bay. wouldn't it take form Frenslulnug to dope out . game like datf
 . A Ill oyA 0e house near went croisy at me beating e game.
 But was going to tell you about me xren de lightweight who went good. He was one of de woist lads dat ever lived in dc district, and de police was onto him. and willing to put him into de fighting game in style, when he got little clev- erer; and de precinct boss used to give hAm . gang of fioaters to repeat at de polls every election; and dere was few taugs dat brought fame and reputation in .de district dat wasn't his. But he went sgood.
 Noting dat his sang. his pals, even his N1do partner-yes, even his own fadder!- seculd stack up as argument was any rood to save him. He went good. His 4ndder and his side partner got close to nam one day. and dey gives him a talk 0ak would saved him if dere was any sav-  went good.
 s.Sohnny. me boy,'' says his old ladder to him, ''tink of what you is giving aways xcu has ball when you is arrested; you has .pull to get you off when you is tried. What, me son. do you want? De eartr'
 'Jack." says his side partner. you must gone clean nutty, to tink of going Amt you dc leader of gang dat has dnne up more men dan any odder gang from Cherry Hill to Foist street? Didn't de police inspector say de odder day dat you was de hardest proposition on de East sads7 What soft snap is dere dat you needn't ask for and get? Whats your ambition. Jack?" he says. "Even if you wants to be a bouncer in de Bowery, can't you get de job? You has more if your pun fails, and you has to do time on de Island, wouldn't de head keeper know dat his job depended on making you a TrustyT''
 But dc bug was in his coco. and dere was no use talking to hiIn-he went good.
 He comes to me enc day. and he says. ''Chimmie. I'm going good"
 "Luck be wit you" says l. How're you ffxed?''

De stuff is deres and it's easy to cop on, but when xuu get it, whose is 1t? Your own7 Nay, uavi What wit splits. and rake-offs. and commissions, and divides, when you gets trough you are in luck if dc size of de roll is enough to pass out what you Is touched for, by dose dat'N squeal if dey don't get dere rake-off.

 When a man goes good after doping out <le game lilze dat. dere'B noting can save him for his gang: so I knows he was ea6s proposition. and tell Mir Paul about firn. Den 1t was easy: MT. Paul tells Miss Fannie, and she got Whiskers to put Jack on a elevator in a building what Wnislkers is one of de bosses-director! Dat's it.
