IMMIGRATION.
XXV-How the "New' Immigrant LIVES
By Frederic J. Haskin.

grants seem to be about half American
and half foreigners in this respect
One-sixth of their households have
boarders The equipment Of the
average foreigners home was only
about half as good as that of native
Americans in such matters as water
supply, toilet accommodations and
other facilities. All of these con-
quently among the people of the old
immigration than among those of the
new. And yet. in spite of all the
drawbacks of overcrowding. keeping
boarders. having only one room they
did not have to sleep in. lacking proper
equipment and the like ONLY one

only one-tenth of the Magyars
The foreigners of the new immigra-
ton are famous for their societies. 1t
is estimated that there are hundred
national societies Of one kind or an
other among the Italians Of the coun-
try. There are estimated to be seven
thousand societies and clubs Of all
kinds among the Poles Of the cOun-
try, and they have an aggregate mem
bership of some 100000. Among the

approximating $4,000. Among the
Slavic peoples in Europe there is
communal tendency The lands near
the villages are cultivated on a COM
munal basis. and all prosper. or starve
together. Their societies and clubs in
the United States are a reflection of
this.
There are a large number of church or
CARNATIONS Some Of these pay sick and
death benefits. and nearly all Of them are
under the ultimate control of the spir-
itual advisers Of the people. There are
also many secular organizations looking
to the protection of their members In case
of sickness and death. The Italian gov
eminent always has taken a deep inter-
est in the Italian immigrant. and has in
stituted a protective society for Italian
labor. which is supported partly by
government appropriation and partly by
monthly payments from its members.
Among the Poles there are a large
number of military societies Usual
ly there are one or more such societies
in every Polish center and the members
are drilled like soldiers. A Polish priest
has estimated that there are 10000 Poles
receiving some sort of military training
in the United States, in anticipation of
the day when their beloved Poland at
tempts to free itself from the grip Of
Russia.

among the wealthy for outdoor cos

A black velvet coat trimmed all
round with black fox and with heavy

Then he drew himself up, stood on the
sill for an instant, and plunged into
the hell within.
Two minutes later gasp went up
from the watchers as they saw stag
gering, smoke-blackened figure appear
at the window of the seventh story
and drag the child upon the sill. Il
was Halloran. Angry tongues of fire
darted out at him, licked at his
clothes, greedy for their prey.
Halloran chung to the sill and look
ed down. The crowd was shouting to
him not to jump. The firemen were
splicing on another ladder and rails
ing it. Could he last long enough or
would the agony Of burned flesh and
scorching clothing impel him to cast
himself down? Halloran prayed for
strength, but 1t was only that slight
figure in his arms that gave him the
courage to wait
Slowly the ladder upreared itself UNI
til 1t reached the SILL Halloran felt
for it through cloud of flame-tipped
smoke in which whirled fiery, singing
sparks, chung to 1t with his feet, perch
ed himself upon that swaying thing
and thrust the child into the arms of
the steel-helmeted man who Chamber

had passed downward along the line,
Halloran collapsed into his rescuer's
arms.
At the foot of the ladder was wom-
an who had broken through the police
lines. So tense was her face with am
guish that they had suffered her to
pass; and now she clasped the child
to her breast and laughed and Groom
ed over it, oblivious of all else. The
child was scathless. Not a hair had
been burned. Halloran's thick coat,
scorched to crisp, bore witness to
that. And HaIloran, fire-blackened
ruin, with burned-off hair and singed
eyebrows and hands that rested Imply
in the surgeons bandages, opened his
eyes to find the woman kneeling over
him.
Hell do we'll now" exclaimed the
police surgeon.
: Sure he Will" cried the voice Of
Porter, the fire chief, and in his tones
was something that set Halloran'f
doubts at rest for ever
But 1t was not of Porter that he
thought that moment. The burned
eyes opened widely. staring into this
face of the woman at his side. And

tually Ill that some sort of attention
is paid to 1t. However, IL the special
attention was of the right sort, the
child might even at the eleventh hour
escape serious illness, but with the
usual ignorance in regard to the laws
of health and the nature of disease.
parents in general are almost GER

the child is sure to have something.

sible chance they had been open; ex-
ira clothes are piled on the little one,
and it is coddled and given anything II
wants, because it is sick.
OF course the child grows worse, I'M

proceeds to make matters still worse
with the usual drugs or "antitoxins."

pull through the doctor is given the

to give her those little comforts which
she needed so badly She had stood
in the court beside the pen and watch

yet of br-s. But when the dread
word Is atty" was pronounced she
turned and walked slowly away with
out word to him. That was the last
Halloran had seen Of her, or heard,
either. She had never visited him
in prison. she had never answered his
letters. When he came out to freedom
Eileen was gone. Her friends could
not be found. Her family had dis
persed. There was no trace of her.
Then Porter had found Halloran
and picked him out of the mud and
made a fireman of him. Some day he
would show Porter that he was worthy
of his confidence.
The wild journey was ended in
front of a block of flames that sent
up columns of smoke and spouted fire.
The street was guarded by police, who
kept back the gathering thousands.
Lines of dripping hose writhed like
long serpents over the cobblestones
and sidewalks. Halloran's company
was the last Of three to arrive; but
there was nothing more to be done ex-
cept to play the hose upon the burn
ing walls. All the occupants of the
tenements had long since been re-
moved or fed to safety.

the multitudes. Far up on the sew

little brown-haired slip of girl, with
outstretched arms and clinging night
robe, crying in terror as the coiling
smoke surged round her. Ladders had
been run up. TOO shortl" shouted
a man. That was all Halloran knew.
He was already upon the lowest part
of the ladder and climbing steadily.
He rose and rose above the sea of
faces, until he neared the top OF his
slender, quivering perch. Then for a
moment he looked down. A sickening
horror swept over him as he saw the
human ants beneath him, with their
upturned faces, silent in the face of
this tremendous battle. Then he look
ed upward again. The child still hung
In the midst of the coiling smoke

her.
