 brought with him his wife and two lchildren. He seemed. to be prosper1ng lin Wall Street.
 Some trouble arose between him and
 his wife afters a number of years ana they separated. she going to Chicago 1 to live and taking the two children with her. About the same time there 1 came business troubles upon the head of Scott stock market crash In 1904 destroyeds him financially. He sold his home and went to the Bowery. He did not lose himself in degraded ldfssipation. He did not mix with the
 usual Bowery styes. He did not lose

 most vicious poverty robbed him or fhis high silk hat. Only the most lpressing hunger made him buy food linstead of g. nosegay for his coat. He tnever suffered the loss of an ancient lfrock coat he had held out of the wreck of his rich things. 1 The belief thatSif he only had a fair chance again hea could put himself on his feet by playing the market was Of
 course his. In his wanderings he met
