thrown TO them. What, he wondered
idly, was their secret Of getting on?
How were they able to lead such well
regulated lives when he, starting out
with far greater advantages, had
failed? Oh, he knew well where the
trouble lay-in his damnable weak
ness Of character, his love for drink.
That was responsible for everything.
But was 1t his fault If he were born
weak? These people who behaved
themselves and got on, he sneered,
were calm, commonplace tempera-
ments who found no difficulty in con-
trolling their baser instincts. They
did right simply because they found
1t easier than to do wrong. Their vir-
tue was nothing to brag about. 1t
was easy to be good when not ey-
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
bufets, all eating voraciously as they
talked and laughed. Howard was
rudely reminded by inward pangs that
he, too, was famished. Not a 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 a
man being willing to work if there
was no one to employ him? A nice
lookout certainly. Hardly dollar
left and no prospect of getting any

sumed cigarette which was hanging
from his lip, and crossing Broadway.
walked listlessly In the direction Of
Park place.
He had certainly made mess of
things, yet at one time, not so long
ago, what a brilliant future life
seemed to have in store for him! No
boy had ever been given better
start. He remembered the day he
left home to go to Yale; he recalled
his fathers kind words of encour-
agement, his mothers tears. Ah, If
his mother had only lived! Then,
maybe, everything would have been
different. But she died during his
freshman year, carried off suddenly
by heart failure. His father married
again, a young woman 20 years his
Junior, and that had started every
thing off 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
for stepmother, a naughty, selfish,
supercilious, ambitious creature who
had little sympathy for her predeces-
sor's child, and no scruple in show
ing 1t.
Then, at college, he had met Robert
Underwood, the popular upper class
man, who had professed to take a
great fancy to him. He, timid young
freshman, was naturally fiattered by
the friendship of the dashing, fascinat-
ing sophomore and thus commenced
that unfortunate intimacy which had
brought about the climax to his trou-
bles. The suave, amiable Underwood,
whom he soon discovered to be a gen.
tlemanly scoundrel, borrowed his
money and introduced him into the
sporty" set, an exclusive circle into
which, thanks to his liberal allowance
from home, he was welcomed with
open arms. With youth Of his pro-
clivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable. At no time
overfond of study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as most desirable
emancipation from the restraint Of
home life. The love Of books he con-
sidered pose and he scoffed at the

troubles with bananas is that of the

The university attracted him mostly
by its most undesirable features, its
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
in the entire history Of the university.
Reading, attendance at lectures, be-

tion he was soon a recognized leader.
threatened with expulsion. Then his
father heard of 1t 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
Howard found himself financially en-
barrassed. But this had not quite
the effect desired by the father, for,
rendered desperate by his inability
to secure funds with which to carry
on his sprees, the young man started
in to gamble heavily, giving notes for
his losses and pocketing the ready
money when he won.
Then came the supreme scandal
which turned his fathers heart to
steel. Jeffries, Sr, could forgive much
in a young man. He had been young
himself once. None knew better than
he how difficult 1t is when the blood
is rich and red to keep oneself in
control. But there was one offence
which man proud of his descent
could not condone. He would never
forgive the staining of the family
name by degrading marriage. The
news came to the unhappy father like
thunder-clap. Howard, probably in
drunken spree. had married secretly
