tory repeating itself The people,
like the wild boy. never realize who
their benefactor is until they have
been on long debauch and their
pockets are empty.
When boy goes from home he
often drinks. CANDLES and associ-
ates with fast company. He spends
his money in riotious living and
will borrow from al who will loan

begins to think about home. He
imagines perhaps, the odd Man" at
home would provide a shelter and
perhaps a little money if he would
only return. Poverty has to pinch

wrinkles are out of his waist line
he starts again and thinks he can
get along without tho odd Man"
and the same debauch is repeated
until he must come home again
