"What about foodY' asked Loveland.
"Cat we run to it?" and he glanced at
the coins in his hand.
Keep the change. Well eat for
nothing. Now's our time to join the
bread line"
Again Val looked blank, and again it
was necessary for Bill Willing-guide,
philosopher and friend-to explain.
There were, said he. two very impor-
tant lines drawn every night in New
York for the benefit of the poor, the
bread line and the bed line. Each was
drawn in a public square, the former
in Herald. the latter in Madison. and

The bed line Bill did not often pat
ronize, because he could generally pay
for his W sleeping accommodation.
and If he couldn't there were always
the parks. Besides, the parson chap
who spoke in Madison square every
night for the benefit of the poor could
collect only money enough to supply a
limited number of men with beds.
There was such a long line waiting
always. and the unlucky ones went
away into the night looking so disap-
pointed. Bill couldn't bear that or the
thought that M more must go bedless
because he had got in ahead. AS for
the bread line, that was different
There was usually enough to feed the
whole line, with coffee thrown in. 1t
was a good show. toe. and sometimes

his last coin and wanted a little cheer

line. Tonight they would both go "un-

1t seemed to Lord Loveland that
he had never known how dazzling
light could be till the night lights of
his eyes.
Though it was nearly midnight when
he emerged from behind the purple
bed curtain of the sleeping park. there
was no sign that less secluded guar

1 had a dream the other night
OF peaches, cream and honey,
OF autos, airships, motorboats
And wads of easy money,
OF swell resorts beside the sea,
Where everything was handy.
The ladies favored me with smiles,
And I was all the candy.
I didn't dare to pinch myself.
BY instinct I ( OWNED it
That I would thereby break the spell
And but a dream would find it.
And so I reveled in the smiles,
The coin. the fragrant clover,
Well knowing by experience
That it would soon be over.
I~threw the speed gauge open wide.
I knocked the record silly.
I didn't stop for ditch or stone.
I jumped the places hilly.
And when the pace so hot became
The passengers all tainted
I dropped into a little town
And left the place well painted.
I can't recall exactly what
I had that day for dinner;
But, judging from results that night,
1t surely was a winner.
I don't remember what it cost
Or where it was I ate it,
But I can tell you for a fact
I'd like to duplicate it.

UNTOUCHED HEART
 OF JOHN COLBAS|N
His Stony Altitude When Con fronted in Court by
 Deserted Family

John Colbasiu, charged with desert ing his wife and six little children, was brought into Judge Highs court yesterday afternoon at o'clock for his preliminary hearing, but owing to the absence of a material witness for the territory the case had to be post poned until Monday morning at 10:So o'clock
 The woman and four of the little ones whom Colbasin is charged with deserting were in the courtroom and as the man entered the room with an officer, each of them eagerly looked for a sign of recognition. Colbasin ac- costed the youngest but one, little girl, as he entered the room, but De took no notice whatever of the moth CT or the other children.
 Once the little girl whom he had spoken to when he entered the room went over to where Colbasin was sit ting, on the opposite side of the courtroom, but the father was stol' idly indifferent and apparently his heart was not touched. The oldest ol the children present, a little girl ot about ten years. started over to where the father and the youngest girl went as if to take her away from the father who had deserted his family, but the mother stayed her with her hand, say ing, Never mind; never mind.
 Not for long did the woman take her eyes off her husband. but not once was her look of eager longing return ed. and when Colbasin was taken back to jail by the officer, limping from rheumatism, she peered after him aN long as she could see him. When Col basin left the courtroom the little girl who had gone to him when the others hung about their mother, said in baby language, By-bye, papa. But the "by-bye was not returned.
 Colbasin will remain in jail until Monday morning, when his prelimi- nary trial will take place, in defaul- of bail in the sum of $500. By his demeanor towards the innocent little tots he made no friends among the spectators in the courtroom.
 Colbasin was arrested at Benson Friday at the request of Bisbee ofi- cers, and was brought back to face the felony charge by City Marshal Bassett Watkins. The man left Bis Lee Friday morning, roughly brushing away the wife who tried to get him to stay and help care for the little ones.
