In the argument to-day Governor

the Judgment would. upon the show
Ing made in the record, be 10 sacri-
flee substance to tn" mcrcst shadow Of
form.

His Night
Off
And What 1t Accomplished
For Him
BY CLARISSA MACKIE
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation. 1911

Dunbar stepped out Of the tall Park
row building with a pleasant sense of
freedom. He had turned In his last
page Of copy for the Sunday edition,
and he lad twenty hours Of rest and
relaxation ahead Of him. To Sam Dun
bar. the most indefatigable worker on
the Daily Universe, relaxation meant
seeking his pleasure among haunts that
must furnish copy. In his youthful
enthusiasm his life had thus far con.
sisted Of work. sleep and work.
On this Saturday night Sam was In
spired to seek the garish lights of the
Bowery. In some restaurant there he
might find the type Of young man he
was looking for-the weaker brother
who had lost hope and self respect and
who was burdened with multitude
of vices, yet in whom there might be
some slumbering spark that could be
famed TO flame Of renewed interest
in life, ambition and, In the end. rep.
utable citizenship. If he could prove
that this might be done with some of
the degenerate sons of the city, per.
haps measure Of the gold that was
steadily poured toward the enlighten'
nent of the heather OF other lands
might be diverted to that greatest OF
all charities at home.
Now he strolled along the Bowery,
mingling with the crowds that throng-
ed the sidewalks. looking here and
there for cheap eating house wherein
he might find what he was looking for.
Sam Dunbar was hanging up his hat
in chop house preparatory to TAX
ing seat at one OF the polished cher
ry tables when the vacant eyed youth
whom he had picked out for his prey

suddenly arose from his seat and APP
preached the cashiers desk. Sam look
ed around at the other patrons of the
place. Two 6ashily dressed men sat
in a distant corner. Here and there
a man was eating a solitary meal, and
directly opposite him a girl was bent
over the greasy bill Of fare
There was something in the droop of
her shoulders that appealed to him.
They looked like shoulders that were
accustomed to carrying themselves
proudly, but now they hunched to-
gether. and the enormous beaver hat
was so Topped down about the girls
face that he could see nothing save a
round white chin and q pair Of red
lips that undoubtedly trembled.
Regardless Of the walters disdainful
glance and the insulting laugh Of a
man in a striped suit Of clothes, Sam
reclaimed his nat and moved across to
the table occupied by the girl. She did
not lift her head at his approach. She
merely bowed 1t lower over the framed
cardboard until the broken feather on
her hat nearly swept the table.
The broken feather decided the mat
ter for Sam Dunbar. IL there was no
degenerate young man to be reclaimed
that night, here was material to his
hand. or. as he told himself. for his
paper.
The waiter showed q card under
Sans nose and thumped glass Of
water on the table.
"A porterhouse steak and Coffee"
was his decision.
"And yoursT The waiter snapped
the question at the girl.
"A sandwich and a cup Of tea"
came from under the beaver hat in a
very small voice.
The waiter departed and returned
almost Immediately with the tea and
sandwich
The girl slowly lifted her head and
made pretense at eating the food.
Sam. apparently absorbed In a news
paper, noted that she ate daintily and
that her hands were pretty and well
kept Her face was charmingly sweet
and refined.
Where had she come from? What
was she doing here on the Bowery ?
Sam asked himself these questions as
he discussed his meal. He wished
there was something that he could do.
He felt that she needed protection.
Hers was the timidity Of innocence.
There was no guile In the frightened
blue eyes that evaded his.
Al opportunity came. The door
swung open. and man entered. q
