The crowds Of hungry workers grew
bigger every minute. Every one was
elbowing his way into neighboring
restaurants, crowding the tables and
buffets, all eating voraciously as they
talked and laughed. Howard was
rudely reminded by inward pangs that
he, too, was famished. Not = thing
had passed his lips since he had left
home in Harlem at eight o'clock that
morning and he had told Annie that
he would be home for lunch. There
was no use staying downtown any
longer. For three weary hours he had

He had certainly made q mess Of

maybe, everything would have been
different. But she died during his
freshman year, carried of suddenly
by heart failure. His father married
again, young woman 20 years his
Junior, and that had started every
thing on wrong. The old home life
had gone forever. He had felt like
an intruder the first time he went
home and from that day his fathers
roof had been distasteful to him. Yes
that was the beginning of his hard
luck. He could trace all his misfor

that unfortunate intimacy which had
brought about the climax to his trou

to-Gulf Project.

Gov. Charles S. Deneen. of Illinois. was
caller at the White House yesterday,
his mission there being to hold an inter-
view with President Taft concerning the
proposed Lakes-to-GUlf deep waterway.
The governor was accompanied by Isham
Randolph, president of the Illinois deep
waterway commission. and Gen. w. H.
Bixby. of the Engineer Corps of the army,
who has been assigned on the deep water
way project.
The Illinois citizens who are pushing
the plan to connect Chicago with the
Gulf OF Mexico are insistent that Con-
gress shall appropriate funds to help
along the cause. Considerable progress
TO this end has been made. President
Taft has acquired certain views as to
limiting river and harbor bill expendi-
lures, and it was generally understood to
be for the purpose of winning his good
will toward the next step in the Lakes to-
Gulf project that the governor of Illinois
called yesterday.
