Editor westbrook at length yielded, though but
half willingly. And in the half of him that con-
scented lurked the vivsectionist that is in all OF
u.s. Let him who has not used the sealpel rise and
stand in his place. Pity tits that there are not
enough rabbits and guinea-pigs to go around.
The two experimenters in Art left the Square
and hurried eastward and then to the south until
they arrived in the Gramercy neighborhood. With
in its high iron ratings the little park had put on
its smart coat of vernal green, and was adm1rtng
itself in its fountain mirror Outside the rail-
ings the hollow square of crumbling houses shells
of bygone gentry, leaned as If in ghostly gossip
over the forgotten doings of the vanished quality.
Sic transit gloria urbis.
A block or two north of the Park Dave steered
the editor again eastward, then, after covering a
short distance, into a lofty but narrow flathouse
burdened with 1oridly over-decorated facade. To
the fifth story they toiled, and DAVE painting, push
ed his latch-key into the door of Of the front
flats. -
When the door opened Editor Westbrook saw,
with feelings of pity, how meanly and meagrey the
rooms were furnished, .

Editor Westbrook the landscape appeared mas
terpiece. :
And now, whether you are Of those who rush in.
or of the gentle that fears to tread, you
must follow in a brief invasion of the editors
mind. ~.1-.
Editor westbrook's spirit was contented and
serene. The April number Of the Minerva had sold
It's entire edition before the tenth day of the month
"a newsdealer in Keokuk had written that he
could have sold fifty copies more If he had had
'em. The owners Of the magazine had raised his
(the editors) salary; he had just installed In his
home jewel of a recently imported cook who was
afraid Of policemen; and the morning papers had
published in full speech he had made at pub
fishers banquet Also there were echoing in his
mind the jubilant notes of a splendid song that
his charming young wife had sung to him before
he left his uptown apartment that morning. She
was taking enthusiastic interest In her music of
lats, practising early and diligently When he had
complimented her on the improvement In her voice
she had fairly Rugged him for Joy at his praise.
He felt, too, the benign. tonic medicament of the
trained nurse, Spring, tripping softly adown the
wards of the convalescent city.
While Editor Westbrook was saunter1ng be-
tween the rows of park benches (already filing
with Migrants and the guardians Of lawless child
hood) he felt his sleeve grasped and held. Sus-
pecting that he was about to be panhandled, he
turned cold and Improbable face, and saw that
his captor was-Dawe=z-s hackleford DAVE, dingy,
almost ragged, the genteel scarcely visible in him

While the editor is pulling himself out of his
surprise, hashlight biography Of Dave is offered.

always yielded gracefully when he did yield.
Dave snapped at the cigar as a kingfsher darts

he turned eastward in Twenty-sixth street, safely

The lenient air and the settings of the little park
almost formed a pastoral; the color motif was
green-the presiding shade at the creation OF man
and vegetation:
The callow grass between the walks was the
color of verdigris, a poisonous green, reminiscent
of the horde Of derelict humans that had breathed
