"Pang-Wangling."

A little dubious as to the exact
shade Of significance, but certainly
alluring to the ear. is "pang-wangle."
1t expresses-well, what does it
express?- cheerIness under minor
discomforts, a humorous optimism
under small misfortunes. though in
deed these seem dignified definitions
for so informal word. Il just pang-

friend of mine, and / know he got

nSighbor, and I feel pretty certain
they had been blue over something
and felt the need of some Ssmall

A very meaning word Is the south

and It is much more emphatic than
'T've been wanting" It's q warm,
affectionate, intimate word-honing.

this crop AS it is, the shortage in
breadth to be reaped is recouped by
the gain in spring wheat The COM
bined yield promises to be about the
same as last year, larger than the

this years crop the most valuable

"These tenements are nothing like as

they did with the garbage forty years
ago? Threw 1t into the streets for the
pigs to eat. Yes, sir! Pigs were the

was so filthy that-well, it was cleaned

CHAPTER vi.
TOILERS AND WRECKS.

I'M being awakened by the alarm
A clock the next morning Haggle-
ton found, to his surprise, that
he had slept quite well. The
close air OF the room had given him
headache, but he shook this off By
going down into the street and taking
brisk walk around ''lung block" in
speeding his property closely as he
went. He had hardly known that it
formed part of his enormous real es-
tate holdings.
On his return he found Jenny ready
with the breakfast and Joe and Moran
already devouring theirs. 1t was
bread and coffee-nothing more.
After breakfast Moran hurried away
to his day Of toll in the cellar bake
shop. Joe, after various adroit but
vain attempts to borrow a dollar from
Jenny or the new boarder, drifted out,
and Haggleton, after repeated offers
Of service to Jenny, resolved that the
best thing he could do would be to
take a look around and familiarize
himself with the condition his property
was in. Philip Ames, who was "off"
that morning, came in, driven by curl
osity, and offered to pilot "Mr. Jack
son" through that unfamiliar part Of
the town. The offer was accepted with
alacrity.
1t was now a quarter to 8 as they
Joined the throng of hurrying toilers.
They paused at the Bowery and Canal
street and watched the crush of men
and women fighting their way up the
elevated stairs and packing themselves
into the cars. Then they turned to
| the east and walked against the surg
ing river Of humanity.
"Yuu call these the poorest people In
New York;" asked Haggleton.
81 suppose So"
"Then New York makes pretty
or misery? Look at these men. They
all wear leather shoes, don't they? In
Europe the poorest people wear wood
en- shoes. That's something, isn't 1t?
And they all wear derby hats and
starched shirts and neckties and watch
chains and Overcoats with velvet col
lars"
"You can't judge by appearances"
| objected Philip.
''Yes, you can too"
Philip shook his head. "You see
only those who have work and are able
to work. You don't see those who are
| left at home. You don't see the sick
and the old and the young. You don't
| see the wrecks"
| ''No, but ] see what makes the

"Not at first. They must cut out

80 you think they can escape by

has miles and miles Of streets like
these. with million human beings
