to the top of the Metropolitan tower. He
had mental image of himself sitting up
there, on the very topmost pinnacle, declaim-
ing Robert Burns to the stars:
Oh, my Luves like a red, red rose
! That's newly sprung in June!"
He could not remember the rest of the
poem, so he repeated the same two lines,
waving his arms at the stars in the panel of
sky over his head. Anyone seeing him would
have had reason to believe him very drunk
indeed As matter of fact he was drunk,
dead drunk; but not with the sort of stuff

He went out, leaving Mr. Boggs holding
the square envelope gingerly between a fat
forefnger and thumb, as if it might have con-
tanned wasp. While Miss Prout gave up ali

card and read it. An amused, surprised,

Office just then, he might have been en-
boldened to do something very compromis-
ing-such as inviting the lady out to lunch,
for instance. But Jimmy's appearance effec-
tually put damper on the conversation.
Miss Prout attacked her typewriter with
violence. Mr.. Boggs impaled two of the
three letters on his desk upon his file and
devoted himself to the third
The third letter was merely congratula-
ton of Mr.. Boggs upon the good results of
an "ad." which he had placed for the writer.
Mr.. Boggs had wished Leonard to see it, in
order that the manager might take notice of
his solicitors and the Agency's success. 1t
required no endorsement But, to Mr.
Boggs's surprise, it contained several. They
were written upside down, in a very faint,
shaky scrawl. Mr.. Boggs reversed the letter
and read:
Thursday, Jnne the Second.
Second June, Thursday.
Thursday, June 2.
As Leonard came slowly back from hang
ing up his hat, and seated himself at his desk,
Mr. Boggs stared at him. His face was white
and haggard, but his eyes shone with an
unusual, one might almost have thought a
joyous, light
"He looks like" remarked Mr.. Boggs to
himself, he'd been paintin' the town for
about a week steady! Almost like he was on
the D. T. Limited, by Heck! But why does
he look sort o'-sort o glad?"
He got up from his chair and walked
slowly around to the side of the mana
gers desk. Jimmy was staring out of the
window
"Jimmy-Mr. Leonardo beg your par
don," said Mr.. Boggs, conscious that Miss
Prout's eyes were on him, and bearing him
self the straighter for it, "but l thought,
from your look, you might be sick. If there's
anything"
Leonard faced around abruptly and
essayed weak smile.
Thanks, Boggselein," he said thickly,
getting to his feet. Il guess I'm not fit to
work to-day. Frightful headache. Hyouu

evidently expecting an insane outbreak.

He turned toward the nearest

to his home in Bensonhurst,
Long Island; but he did not feel
like going home. All day in his
Office he had dozed and dreamed
over his work. At times he had
barely managed to keep himself
from going to sleep; for, what
with the length of his calls and
the long rides home, he had
managed to get very little sleep
in the past three nights. Now,
however, he was unusually wide
awake. He felt curiously ethe-

laughing softly, into the apartment. The
door shut slowly in Mr.. Leonard's face, until
only crack was left.

then it closed entirely. For some desolate

to reopen. But the blank panels soon stared

TO FIGHT WHITE SLAVERY
100000 IS ASKED

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-Asking FOR an en-
dowment fund of 100000 and suggesting
that the first place to inaugurate a
campaign against the white slave
traffic is in the nations capital. the 19
social reformers who left Chicago in
September for a social purity campaign

The members of the delegation visit
ed all the principal cities OF western
Canada, as well as st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Seattle. Tacoma, San Francisco. Hous-
ton, Tex, New Orleans. Memphis and
Washington. They report that they found
conditions much worse in the west than
in Chicago, but not one of the dele
cation was willing to admit that Chicago
had been slandered.
Congressman j. r. Mann, author OF
the white slave act, said that while
all men were sorry for the vicious con-
ditions which prevail in certain locali-
ties. yet the aim OF efficient legislators
was to secure the enactment Of effective
laws and not TO engage in the whole
sale expression Of sentiment.
when President Taft signed the white
slave bill. he said to me, Now that you
have the law, lose no time in arresting
and imprisoning the men who engage
in this traffic" said Mr. Mann. THE
president said that these men were the
vilest of all criminals and that 1t was
now up to the people to catch them and
prosecute them"

cording to statement made at the rate
hearing today by Stanley II. Johnson
assistant freight traffic manager of the
Rock Island road.
Attorney Dickinson, of the Rock Island

not increased their rate prior to 1906
when they had the opportunity to do Sc

about the throat that he escaped death

Morgan's wound was. a hurried call for

SQUAD FOR
WOMEN AND GIRLS
Striking Garment Workers to
Inaugurate a New System
to Aid the Strike

CHICAGO, Nov. IA new phase in the
strike of garment workers today will be
the inauguration of a systematic picket
ing squad. according to rule" for the
women and girls. The Women's Trade
Union league has compiled a set of
rules for girl pickets" and before the
striking girls or elderly women who are
to come out i'm full force today are
allowed on the picket lines they must
first attend the "pickets' school," Legal
talent was consulted yesterday and the
rules were written so as To keep the
pickets within the letter of the law so
that the police would have no pretext for
their arrest. At least 1900 of the 10000
persons now on strike are girls and
women and they Pc promise to be the
strongest factor in winning public sym
pathy for the strikers.
The rules which will be translated into
the many languages OF the strikers are
as follows:
Don't walk in groups of more than
two or three.
Don't stand in front OF the shops;
walk UP and down the block.
Don't stop the person you wish to
speak to, walk alongside OF him.
Don't get excited and shout when
you are talking.
Don't put your hand on the person
you are speaking to.
Don't touch his sleeve or button,
This may be construed as a technical
assault
Don't call any one 'scab' or use
abusive language of any kind.

threaten.
IF a policeman arrests you and you
are sure that you have committed no
offense take down his number and give
