The Price of a Life.

Times are hard with the iends-
opium and morphine slaves who infest
the alleys in the Latin quarter. In
this stormy weather visitors are few
and far between and so, as a matter
of course, are the nickels and dimes
they usually throw to the creatures OF
the drug habit. The users of morphine
seek almost in vain for the wherewithal
to purchase the little white pellets that
are to them food and drink, and the
devotees of the long bamboo pipe con-
slider themselves extremely lucky If
/, in passing a Joint" they can get even
a faint whiff of the Oriental drug.
A few nights ago two of them were
standing in d dark doorway on Dupont
street alternately cursing their luck,
the weather and themselves Suddenly
they saw a pedestrian approaching.
Their eyes lighted with strange fire
and their faces wore a look of expect
ancy as they rushed toward him. Give
us dime, mister, for a cup Of coffee"
they asked in the same breath.
Carelessly and with knowing laugh
the stranger took from his vest pocket
what looked like coin and cast it into
the gutter The drug hungered wretches
threw themselves on their hands and
knees and unmindful of the filth and
slush that filled the gutter began
search for the coin. For more than
five minutes they crawIed about in the
slime and dirt. With their CLASSY eyes
strained they put forth their palsied
hands and raked over the dirt. Like
hawks they watched each other, and
when one made the least sound indie
ative of success the other pOunced upon
him only to retreat with a curse and
resume his search when he found the
other empty handed.
Finally the taller of the two yeffed
at the top of his weak voice and jumped
TO his feet. AS fast as his trembling
limbs could carry him he ran in the
direction of a drugstore a block away.
His companion, with a snarl and
curse of disappointment, also rose and
ran, striving with all his might 60
overtake his lucky companion in mis-
cry and calling him all sorts of names
a t every step. But the tall man only
ran on and on. neVer for a moment
taking his eyes from the blue and green
lights of the druggists shop. His
breath came in gasps. and more than
once he placed his hand over his heart.
Just as he reached the entrance TO
the store he fell on his face and with
n moan turned over on his back His
companion, with a wolfish shout,
spurred forward and fell upon the pros
trate form. Eagerly he put forth a
shaking hand and grasped the tightly
clenched first of the man whom he had
chased. He could not unbend the stiff
fened fingers. so he raised the hand to
his mouth and buried his yellow teeth
into the flesh. Still it refused to open
and the frenzied creature burst into
sobs
When they found him there five min
utes later. crying like a child. they took
him to the hospital The other was
removed to the Morgue. When his cold
fingers were Strengthened out in the
palm of his hand was found a tin to-
baccO tag about the size of a dime.
