When the twenty-year-ol girl and her

George Litvin. forty-five years old, to

At the hearing before immigration Com

Litvin had sent the girl $140 six weeks
ago to pay her passage from Russia to
Chicago
While the prospective bride and bride
groom were holding a prenuprial celebra-

twenty years old. They fell in love and

The Bowery? English Loveland had

They passed a tall building whose red
front was pictorial with advertisements
of wonders such the world could not

Exactly
"And that fortune you want to retrace,

I'm expecting cablegram in the
morning that will put me all right, thank

as passed the time. I've only to worry

I.oveland searched his pockets, and du-
biously exhibited two silver coins mixed
democratically with a few nickels and
impotent -looking little coppers The pros

ing exclaimed, with delight:

in two beds at the Bat Hotel. instead Of
cooling in this fce-cream freezer
IF there's the price of two beds, You

Thank you. You're the real stuff, re-
turned Bill, gratitude in his voice. But

There are no odds against me this

me up no end, and you must share what

IT'S clean. all right. Maynt be the

What about food?' asked Loveland
"Can we run to it?' and he glanced at
the coins in his hand.
Keep the change. Well eat for moth
ing. Nows 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 important 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 formes in Herald. the latter
In Madison; and beth were traced by the
finger of charity
The bed line Bill did not often patron
ize, because he could generally pay for
his own sleeping accommodation. and IL
he couldn't, there were always the parks.
Besides, the parson chap who spoke in
Madison Square every night for the bene-
fit OF the poor. could collect only money
enough to supply 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
disappointed. Bill couldn't bear that, or
the thought that one more must go bed
less because Ire had got in ahead. Az
for the bread line, that was different.

So will intercollegiate Champion Albert

and Eben NJ. Byers of Pittsburg, former

The closeness Of the Fownes- Hunter

the largest gallery Of the week. Neither
Seckel nor Byers had much trouble win

Phelps played a stubborn game but his
driving was erratic and he was often in
trouble during the afternoon. He sliced
into the rough OH several occasions and
it was on these that Gardner forged
ahead. The latter's drives were almost
invariably straight and far down the
course and his putting was better than
the champions.
A lucky stymie gave Fownes the right
to enter the semi-f1nals. Hunter was I'M
steady and his Wildness from the tee
made him play an uphill game all after
noon. but the match was even when they
drove from the seventeenth. Fownes es-

himself the better golfer.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Lights of New York.

1t seemed to Lord Loveland that he
had never known how dazzling light could
be till the night lights of New York
flung their diamonds into his eyes.
Though it was nearly midnight when
he emerged from behind the purple bed
curtains of the sleeping park, there was
no sign that less secluded quarters of
the city thought of sleep.
The amazing jewels of the city still
scintillated against the sky. flashing col
ored fire. The Great White Way still
blazed with brightness brighter than
day; the huge plate-glass windows of
shops closed to customers advertised at
fractions for tomorrow. Electric cars
were still crowded. going up and down.
Overhead was a ceaseless rush and roar
OF elevated trains: and Herald Square,
which the comrades reached by short
cuts and devious ways known to the in
itiated. seemed the beating heart of the
big, vital body whose diamond-crowned
head was in the sky.

they suffered, they who seethed in the

He had known that this sort of thing
existed; that there were men and women
who went hungry and thirsty, who slept
out of doors, and who had no place on

they might call their own: but he had
been wont to skip paragraphs about them
