Losing the Shadow
 HAWKINS had the entire after noon tn which to wear out the ]
 patience of his shadow He
 made his way to West street . and the North river wharves. Although 1 he was old and bent. he sull had abundant strength in his long arms and in bis massive shoulders. He went from pier Co pier looking for a chance to put in couple of hours ut work He found the chance at the foot of Warren street, where he was given three hours work unloading trucks.
 Al bali past o'clock Hawkins was paid S1 by bis foreman He slipped into his cont and started away to give the hound behind him chance to show his ability in shadowing.
 The rush hour was on and Man hattans millions were packing sub ways. elevated and surface cars and crowding the bridges. The sky scrap CTS gushed forth seemingly endless streams of humanity To the space in front of the World and Tribune build ngs. Hawkins made his way, dodging to right and left as he trayeled across the northward current His shadow had to close in on him to keep him in sight They were not more than three feet apart when Hawkins enter ed the World building
 The fox passed through the build ing to North William street and dis appeared in the gloom of the third rverward arch of the old bridge The hound plunged after him. They emerg- ed from under the bridge at Rose street and the fox turned south to Frankfort street Turning Co the east, he start ed as if for the river, hanging close to the bridge arches Suddenly the fox disappeared.
 The hound had just left Rose street and had turned east also. Not seeing his quarry, he hurried his steps, keep ing his eyes shifting from one side Of Frankfort street to the other
 The hound gave Inst glance mp and down Frankfort street and then plung ed into Pearl street twisting like a ! python crowded with homeward hur- rying thousands and made darker in | the dusk of falling evening because of ! the shadows Of the elevated structure and the great bridge overhead ! The fox was gone. He had doubled on his tracks and was back in North | William street. only a few hundred | feet from his pursuer. but hopelessiy lost to him. In short time he reach ed Corlears Hook park. Here he found Deefy's saloon, SO called be- cause the owner was deaf and dumb and his patronage was from those sim ilarly afflicted It was place of silent refreshment The probationer entered the saloon by the Family" entrance and took his seat at a table in tiny room back of the bar In the sign Ian. guage he ordered from a deaf and dumb waiter a bowl of stew and a cur of coffee.
 He found newspaper and made himself comfortable in tbis secure hook until the coming oE Boston Ed" l Promptly at n o'clock the man with the hirthmark under his left eye show. cd his face in the door of the little room back of Deefy's bar.
 "Bnl.' he whispered a wide grin ! spreading over his homely and splotch ed couutenance.
 "Yes."
 She's outside
 Hawkins jumped to his feet.
 "Set still, Bill commanded Boston Ed" "I got it fixed wlth Deefy You two can have the room an to your selves for awhile. He understands You can talk an you want Bill. IT keep an eye on the door and sip g couple of brannigans."
 He withdrew his head, and in a few moments a woman was showed int, the little room and the door banged tight behind her
 The sunken eyes of the old proba honer seemed to be suddenly covered
