CHAPTER i.
The Owner of New York.


Percy barrow, young man of scien-
t1flc training, indolent manners, effem-
mate appearance, hidden energy, and
absolute courage, lounged through the
doors of the Atlas Building. Since
his rescue from the volcanic island
that had witnessed the piratical muir
der of his old employer, Doctor Scher-
merhorn, the spectacular dissolution
Of the murderers, and his own imprls-
onment in a cave beneath the very
roar of an eruption, he had been nufs-
Ing his shattered nerves back to their
normal strength Now he felt that at
last he was able to go to work again
Therefore, he was about to approach
q man of influence among practical
scientists, from whom he hoped fur
Their occupation.
AS the express elevator shot upward,
he passed a long slender hand across
his eyes The rapid motion confused
him still. The car stopped, and the
metallic gates. changed open. barrow
obediently stepped forth. Only when
the elevator had disappeared did his
upward glance bring to him the knowl-
edge that he had disembarked one
floor too soon.
Darrows eye fell on lettered sign
outside the nearest door. He smiled
q slow red-lipped smile Beneath his
small silky mustaehe, dropped his
black eyelashes in flicker of reminis-
cence, hesitated a moment, then STEP
ped languidly forward and opened the
door The sign indicated the head
quarters of the very modest commits
sionership. behind which Mccarthy
chose to work. Mccarthy, quite sim
ply, at that time owned New York.
AS barrow entered Mccarthy hung
up the telephone receiver with a
smash, and sat glazing at the instru-
ment After a moment he turned his
small bright eyes toward the new
conner
Hello, Perc." he growled. Didn't
see you Say, I'm so mad my skin
cracks. Just now some measly little
shrimp called me up from public
booth. What ye suppose he wanted,
now? Oh, nothin'! Just told me in
so many words for me to pack up my
little trunk and sail for Europe and
never come back! That's all! He
give me until Sunday, too" Mccarthy
barked out short laugh, and reached
for a cigar-box. which he held out to
barrow
Percy shook his head. so he wants
you to go to Europe?''
Wants me? Orders me! Says l
got to-" Mccarthy laughed. Lovely
thought"
He pulled out a cloud of smoke.
"Sa3a If l don't obey ~rders he'll
send me a sign to convince mel"
went on the boss. He's got mean
voice He ought to have tag hung
bn him and get carried to the morgue.
He give me the shivers, like dead
man. l never hear such a unholy
thing outside a graveyard at mid
night

The most popular drug sold in the
various drug stores is heroin. The
heroin habit is said to be spreading
among women. A great deal of hash
eesh and cocaine is also being dis
posed of.
On South State street there is said
to be several negro drug stores to
which the rich, dwellers on the ave.
nues send their servants for the
drugs.
Several of the stores are now under
investigation and serious exposures
are threatened.
One negro druggist is said to have
amassed a fortune through taking
chances on ne sale of dope He is
the official drug furnisher to the fash
ionable hop joints which abound on
the South Side, according to claims.

the drug habit Recently Merriam de-
manded to know why the following
recommendation of the old vice COM
mission was not carried out;
iii. We recommend that the De-
parment of Health institute a rigid
investigation into the use of cocaine
and other noxious drugs with view
of at least limiting such sales by
druggists.
In answer to this Health Commits
sioner Young made the, following re-
port:
''The Department of Health of Chi
cago has absolutely no jurisdiction or
control over the practice of medicine
in any of it's branches or the licensing
of practitioners. This is a function
of the state board of health"
Young, however, supplemented his
report when questioned by reporter
for The Day Book by the statement
that he had long felt the dread that
the drug habit was fastening its ten

MEXICO MIX-UP n

Washington, April 14-Further in
vestigation will be made of the ar
rest of the American marines by Mex
lean federals at Tampico before the
United States takes any drastic ac-
ton.
Secretary Bryan and Special En-
voy Lind met with the president an
hour before the cabinet meeting to-
day. They declined to give out the
matters under consideration, but it
was understood that Lind would re-
port on the exact status Of liberia
and his cause.
If it lis decided to enforce tha de-
mand for a federal salute of the
American flag in apology for the ar
rest of the marines, serious trouble is
possible. In case the Huertaistas te-
fuse the salute blockade of all Nett
cans ports will be the next step, and
the embargo will be enforced with
Warships if necessary.
