Philadelphia Policeman Ends a Hunger Strike

discover the way to break the hunger

Asquith Of England will take notice.

but had become separated from her.
The patrolman took her to the police
headquarters In the city hall. and
the officers who questioned her there

telling the truth. So they decided to
hold her pending further investigation.

she would not be permitted to depart

Dy JAMES HALL.

Collins was In q very uncomfortable
hame Of mind as he journeyed down
town In the subway. He hai been un.
employed for nearly two months and
was fast approaching the end Of his
resources when he answered the prom
ising advertisement In the newspaper.
An Invitation to call was the response,
and Collins was almost certain that
bis application would be turned
down."
The reason for this pessimistic con-
clusion was that both the advertise
ment and the letter especially stated
that the advertiser wanted a clean
cut" man. Collins did not know what
clean-cut man was, but he had always
associated the phrase In his mind with
the mental picture Of one Of those

his nose was a little retrousse. and

muscular shoulders do. and were
wholly innocent Of padding. Decided

The car was crowded and Collins
was hanging to a strap. He fell to
watching the face Of girl who was
