ton must be in love-
HE fixed bus eyes On the ground ana
wondered Why he didn't lind q hall do

enough barred in the dust Of New Yors
streets - pay his ~sy to Kansas Citg.
Why couldn't he find oae2 tie berau
TO accuse his guardian angel of serio1s

didn't find penny.
The only article which differed free
the general collection was q piece y
pasteboaFd which looked like theater
check. Ii had evidently been dropped
very recently, for 1T was scarcely soiled
at all. He remembered. with a sudden
start, that restaurants sometimes sold
tickets that were good for y meal. Vita
hasty hand he snss he'd the piece Of
pasteboard from the ground and read:
This ticket entities the bearer to one
Turkish bath at IIubbard's, No. w West
Iwenty-seventh street. An extra
charge for alcohol or electricity"
This is the way that Fate takes sdvsn-
tage of mans position to insult him. II
was not Drane's fault that he had not
washed his face. and it was aggravating
To have hint like this thrown out by
fate to embitter the results Of her own
doings. Drane was on the poin Of tear
ing the ticket in rage sni disdain when
his better Judgment checked him. A
Turkish bath-bouse WAS . nice. Quiet
place to rest. 1t offers the greatest q
Injuries on hot day. True. q seves1\
Thorough bath is not good thing to take
oman too empty stomach, but still he
was sure that it could not make him feel
any more hollow than he did without it.
He arose and began his search for Wcst
Twenty y-seventh street. 1t was not far
away, and in less than half an hour he
stood in front Cf No. 90. A handsome
building it was; perhaps a little too Or
nate, but cmincntiy suggestive OF lux
urv. Drane entered and presented his
ticket at the desk. The AZ endant I
stared at him.
''ilow the dickens did you get this
ticket?" he asked.
Then Drane saw that he would have
to lie lie was determined to get inside
the bath now, and a small matter of
falsehood should not stand in his way
His moral sense had been GRADUALLY
weakened by the evil companionshio of
his clothes and he was in a condition to

''LooE here" he said, Il am quite reg

nize me because-well, to tell the truth.

Drane looked over his shoulder as il
to make sure that nobody could hear
him declare his real identity, and then
bending over the desk he whispered:
John III. smyth. You remember the
name, don't you?"

admitted, but can't place you.-

in stili more confidential tone: .You

The clerk smiled
