THE BELATED ROMANCE THAT ENTERED
THE LIFE OF A YOUNG NEWSPAPER MAN

himself on the carpenters tool chest,

For the next few minutes he idly
watched the grips" remove the setting

Of the stage. IN an incredibly short
while the stage was cleared. The car

electrician turned of the lights. leaving

Another minute and the stirring

watched the musicians fle up the dusty
little ladder from the cellar. cross the
stage. slipping On their coats as they
went, and disappear through the iron
doorway He was alone
It seemed like an eternity to the watt
ing man, as he sat on the dark stage,
his head in his hands.
Alice-the same old Alice Of ths col
lege days. Eight years. Drake -Eou-
dered how he had found It possible to
bury himself in the excitement and ire
mendous rush OF a great newspaper all

and they walked out into the night. The
snow had ceased falling now and the
stars shone brightly.
After all. Drake thought. II was not so

of far brighter things r. s1.-.a.
And together they walked on tbreuzh

rooms. One by one he had seen them
lighted up as their occupants came in
TO take up their labors. Nearly all the
little apartments we're now the scene
Of feverIsh activity.
Mechanically Drake glanced at his
watch. It was nearly o'clock
The great newspaper Office was burst
ing into life. The nerve-racking rush 10
prepare the morning edition had begun,
Up from the composing and steTeotyping
rooms below came family to his ears the
incessaDt roar and c1atter Of the scores
Of linotypes and casting machines, Above
it all sounded the hoaTse grinding Of
the great trfmmers as they shaved off
the rough edges of the big semi-circu-
lar lead plates.
Every revolution of those heavy wheels
seemed like a heart throb to the man
in the hallway above. and the ClamoT
of the typesetting machines shaped itself
into a dirge that told OF the fate Of many
a man who had gone down in the end
less struggIe-the eternal fight for news
He hardly noticed that the elevator
vas not running Soon he was in the
street. It was cold and the snow was
falling. Where to go? ListIessly he
turned in the direction Of a theater a
few blocks up the row. A popular play
was running there He took little in
terest in theaters nowadays; but, then,
anything TO pass the evening.
Drake turned UP the collar Of his
overcoat and thrust his hands deep into
his pockets. Soon the great Gazette
Building. with It's hustle and activity,
was left behind.
Still in a reminiscent mood, he trudged
on in silence through the snow. He
scarcely noticed where he was walking
His mind was busy with the revelation
that seemed to have burst upon him
tonight He was threading together the
fabric of his existence since he had
walked down Newspaper Row that win
Try night eight years ago in search Of a
iob-as & cub" anything. Eight years,
1t seemed like eighty to him tonight
And what changes.
Some one brushed against his arm. A
drunken man, filthy and disheveIed. NUT
tering profane language The same old
row
He recouected as one In dream that
on his way down the steps he had en-
countered Billy. The latter had said
something IN a jest about his not know
ing what to do with himself when he
did get a night off. Drake couldn't re-
member what answer he had made.

been his home for eight years
In his mind. as he trudged along. he
lived over the old days-the days that
he had lost track OF in the ceaseIess
struggle of those eight years.
Yale The college days. He seemed
to feel himself back among the old
crowd, Once more he was sitting on the
fence" singing the dear old songs.
And then
The announcement had come that his
father had failed in business. Suicide
had followed. Tom was in the middle
Of his senior year, but there was no
more money. It had meant good-by to
the crowd and the old scenes. And
work But he had never been afraid of

IND the girl chuIns Of those days. He
idly wondered what had become Of them.
They had been good friends, but he had
allowed them TO slip out of his life en-
tirely; he had never heard from any of
them again.
There was AIice-they had been The
best of chums. He had not possessed
the nerve to say good-by to her. He had
merely written a note telling her Of his
TeveFses and Of his determination to
strike out for himself He had never
seen OF heard from her since. He had
thought OF her occasionally, but for only
Il moment. as something came under
his notice that recalled the old days.
She, like the rest Of the old crowd. had
/ passed out Of his life. He had time now
for nothing but work. work. Perhaps
he nused, she thought him dead.
And Tom Drake was rapidly beginning
TO question in his own mind whether he
we're not indeed dead-and for eight
years.
Yes. he reflected, much had happened
/ in those eight years. It had been just
such another night as this that. an al
most penniless youth of twenty. he had
made his first start. Only 1t had beer

snow banked high IN the streets He
had set out to be a newspaper man
From Office to office along the Row he
had gone in search Of employment. Il

seemed till now. Tonight it vas as
though he were viewing them through
eyes that were not his own.
And for moment he idly wondered If
10 other people his life appeared the
same dull. coIorIess speck as theirs.
Had it gone that far:
1t seemed as though he we're suddenly
awakening to some Of the horrors of
this great business of newsgetting. He
half wondered why he had never looked
at it all that way before. Ana then he
concluded that IT was because he had
never allowed himself time 10 think
about it; he had never had time to
think of anything but his work
An urchin with comicaIly dirty face
and a handful OF long. wet proofs sud
denly opened the door al the end OF
the room and wiggled half of his body
into the apartment
Copy" he howIed-and the dirty face
and the mass of proofs disappeared
simultaneously.
Usually Drake called the boy and
looked over the assortment Of long
damp sheets Tonight he scarcely heard
the old, familiar call He isIt like a
stranger in the place; as though he had
never before had a glimpse Of the in
neTmost workings OF a great newspaper
And all because he had q night of.
He was like one of a thousand en-
ployes in a great machine shop. whose
own small part in the mechanism has
suddenly stopped and left him to view
for the first time the whole mighty net
work Of steel and machinery about him,
which has before been drowned out by
the roar and turmoil of his own tiny
corner
Like one in a dream, Drake followed
the steps of the copy boy until the door
of the reporters room had changed shut
behind him.
Directly across the hall the light
streamed out Of a large room where a
dozen grizzled men IN their shirt sleeves
sat about big square table piled high
with copy" Through the clouds OF
tobacco smoke that filed the place he
could catch glimpses of their blue pen
ellis as they ran over the typewriter
sheets, here striking out a word OF sen
tence and there inserting another. A
number of tired-IookiHg messengers
rushed about. striving to keep apace
with the never-ending string Of iIl-tem-
peTed and pTofane commands
As he walked down the hall toward
the elevator he glanced in at the various
rooms Of the department editors. 4
dozen times that evening he had walked
down the haH and glanced in at ths

that sensational murder had taken
place several miles outside Of Brook
Ign. There was no one TO send on the
assignment. Besides, there was scarce
~ a possibility Of getting the story in
time for the morning edition, anyway,
Drake had blundered in just in time to
catch the city editor in a blue funk
over the matter. He had been greeted
by a TRADE of profanity
But. the editor suddenly reasoned,
there was no one to cover the story.
Supposing he sent this kid, even though
he did fall down on it-ss he in all
probability wouId-it would lie prefer
able to doing nothing And it would
save good calling down from the odd
man" Drake went
The hardships Of that nights work he
still remembered. Beyond Brooklyn the
cars were blocked by the snowdrifts.
There was only about three hours left
before the sheet went 20 press. It was
make or break with him He had every
thing 30 gain, and nothing 10 lose but his
life. He set out and walked 10 the
scene of the crime in the worst of the
storm.
Next day the Gazette had scooped
the metropolis on one Of the most sen
satiODaI crimes in years And it was
extremely well written. Until long ar
/ ter daybreak two Of the city's best ply
sicians worked over the "cub" to re-
store him 20 consciousness from the ef-
fects OF that terrible tramp. Drake be-
came a cub at a salary.
Then five years Of slavery day and
night as a reporter Another year at

I then occupied the city desk himself.
And tonight. as he trudged along
through the snow Drake asked himself
t had it all paid. His advancement was
due solely to his own Iabors. And there
we're higher things in sight. Billy was
/ getting old and would soon be retired
Then. Drake knew the plum would
