clivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable. At no time
overload of study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as a most desirable
emancipation from the restraint of
home life. The love OF books he CON
sidered pose and he scoffed at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by its most undesirable features. it's
sports, its secret societies, its petty
cliques. and its rowdyism. The broad
spirit and the dignity of the alma
mater he ignored completely. Directly
he went to Yale he started in to en-
joy himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood as guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him

Scandal followed scandal until he was
threatened with expulsion. Then his
father heard of it and there was a
terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr., went i'm
mediately to New Haven and there
followed a stormy interview in which
Howard promised to reform, but once
the parents back was turned things
went on pretty much as before. There
were fresh scandals, the smoke of
which reached as far as New York.
This time Mr.. Jeffries tried the plan
OF cutting down the money supply and

barrassed. But this had not quite

he how difficult it is when the blood

news came to the unhappy father like

the decree and he had never seen his
father since.

posed to temptation. But for those
born with the devil in them 1t came
hard. 1t was all matter of heredity
and influence. Ones vices as well as
ones virtues are handed down to us
ready made. He had no doubt that
In the Jeffries family somewhere in the
unsavory past there had been a weak,
vicious ancestor from whom he had
Inherited all the traits which barred
his way TO success.
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
trudged from office to office seeking
employment, answering advertise
ments. asking for work of any kind,
ready to do no matter what, but all to
no purpose. Nobody wanted him at
any price. What was the good of
man being willing to work If there
was no one to employ him? A nice
lookout certainly. Hardly a dollar
left and no prospect of getting any
more. He hardly had the courage to
return home and face Annie. With
muttered exclamation of impotence
he spat from his mouth the half-con-
sumed cigarette which was hanging
from his lip. and crossing Broadway,
walked listlessly In the direction of
Park place.
He had certainly made a mess of
things. yet at one time, not so long
ago. what brilliant future life
seemed to have In store for himl No

freshman year. carried OF suddenly
by heart failure. His father married
again. a 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-
tunes back to that He couldn't stand
