discontentedly. he went out tt the sec
ond class boarding house thai he call
ed home.
1t was a shock to him the next
morning when he found himself still
thinking of the girl. her eager blue
eyes and he dainty f1eck of pink in
each round cheek-iust the sort Of a
girl he had always imagined. At that
point in his reflections he dropped a
long trail of purple ink on a clean
ledger page. So he frowningly put
the girl u of his thoughts and con-
centrated his attention on the figures
instead.
He went to the automobile show
again h a night. but he didn't see her.
and when he got back to his small
bedroom he declared to himself: NO
body but a fool would he thinking
about a girl whose hat cost more than
he made in a month";"
A week later he saw her again. She
was getting out of a purple and brown
limousine that was the latest model
OF luxury and expense. She wore the
same trim suit and furs that she had
worn at the automobile show. He
liked the cut of that suit. 1t was hor-
ribly expensive. of course-that plain
trim cut always is--and he wished
Wrathfully hat he was making the
salary that would support a wife who
liked such clothes.
After that Hawling's main occupa-
ton was watching for her. Book
keeping was a side issue for several
weeks. But the occasional glimpse he
caught of her finally aroused him to
action. He went at the neglected
books with a very fury of energy. He
got another set to do at night. He
had to keep busy to have any sort Of
mental peace. Two raises Of salary
followed. unsolicited by him. But
they did not give him much pleasure.
No matter how much a bookkeeper
made, it would not put him in her
class.
One day he met her face to face.
She was walking slowly down the
crowded street. and Hawking, though
ton. simply turned around and fol-
lowed her. The winter weather had
given way to premature spring balm
mess, and so she had discarded her
furs. Hawking had liked her small
pink-touched face rising from the soft
fur. But he liked it even better now.
when the low collar of her coat a.
lowed a full view Of the clean cut Of
her profile.
He had followed her four blocks, re-
gardless of the fact that his luncheon
hour would soon be over and he had
not yet lunched. when she suddenly
darted across the street. choosing a
clear space between the taxicab and a
street car. But the taxicab streaked
forward unexpectedly and damned
her against a big motor truck. She
screamed. swayed to and fro. too daz-
ed to jump back to safety, while
c%hauffuers and motormen gasped.
Hawking sprang after her, regardless
of the danger to himself. and by sheer
luck managed to pull her back out OF
peril. AS it was. her dress was ripped
and her face bruised.
Hawking was brushing the dust
from her dress. and assuring her that
he had done nothing at all-simply
happened to be. at her side-when a
friend Of hers, a tall. ~overdressed

Of typewriter keys ceased, there was a
rustling of papers and Miss Kelley
came out, cool and sweet in gray lin
en-, her cheeks daintily f1ecked With
pink-the same girl that Hawking had
sulked. grieved, almost worn himself
to nothing over.
She recognized Hawking, too, with
a deeper fleck Of pink. II never had
a chance to thank you," she began.
Hawking grinned f%atuously. The
sudden shock of instantly losing all
reason for gloom nearly turned him
into a witless chump. "I'll see that
You have plenty of chances" he as
sured her.
And before the afternoon was over
he adroitly probed into the discrepan-
cy between her present employment
and her supposed ownership of an So
900 car. oh she told him. II was

her by the arm and whisked her to a
taxi before Hawking had recovered his
breath. At that he swore. To be just
on h verge Of really getting &C
away as ever. She hadn't ever had
time to fix his face in her memory!
Hawking moodily skipped lunch that
day, went back to his ledger and got
the rows OF figures in such a mess that
It tool him three days to s%traighten
them out.
Hawking developed chronic moodi-
ness after that. Life to him had be-
a dreary round of working. eat
ing. and sleeping. He had only m
interest; to watch for trim blue serge
suits. And 1t amazed him to learn
how many the streets could show and
stu not display the particular n
that he sought. Then he belatedly re-
membered that 1t was quite possible
that h might be wearing another
color. One blue suit wouldn't COM

looked instead for trim erect should

HaWling took the next car. She had

Disconsolately Hawking left the

months. Rawlings employer was
to get out that afternoon that
simply had to &c out. AS a last re-
source he sent Hawking down to his
friend Collins. a lawyer on the floor

Hawking went reluctantly. He had

cuRI'Ew

There are a few cities in the United
States that have not curfew ordi-
nances. but the number is becoming
rapidly less, for every day or so 1t
is announced that this OF that town
has adopted a curfew ordinance. and
that hereafter children will not be per-
mitted on the streets after n certain
hour in the evening, usually 9 O'Clock.
The ordinance passed, possibly there is
a solemn warming from the municipal
authorities, everybody pats them on
the back, the ordinance is forgotten.
and things GO on as before.
Curfew ordinances are not enforc-
ed. Some good people expect them
to he enforced, but to expect that in
dictates a very slight knowledge of
how things are done. Why are the or
dinances not enforced? Merely be-
cause the people do not want them
enforced. That is all. A police officer
sees on the street at 10 p. IN. a boy
whom he knows to he not more than
II years old. Let him arrest that boy.
and what will happen? Will the boys
father go down To the police court and
thank h officer for protecting his
son from the dangers which exist on
the streets after hours? Not in a
thousand years. He will come down
with blood in his eye, looking for that
officers scalp. He will go to the may

dermen, n protest that the boy was
sent out on an errand, that his parents

the lad was going along minding his
own business, that it is nobody's husi-

bring up his own family. and will de-
mand that the policeman he fred for
off1cious interference With the private
affairs of a respectable citizen. Per-
haps the irate parent cannot back up
of them in a few minutes. and he is
so excited that he believes most of
them. himself. Multiply that situation
by the number of boys at large. and
you have one of the reasons why cur
ordinances are not enforced.
Whatever fault there is is not the
fault of the police officers. We have
placed on the books a lot of laws
which have become fashionable. and
which are considered the proper
things for advanced communities,
which we really believe are good
things as applied to our n%eighbors and
neighbors' children. but by which
we ourselves do not wish to be gov
