Dick Brlnos a Hostage.

Dick Brings . Hostage.
In Staten island 1t is spring. Nature
beckons. Across the bay from old
Manhattan come new hosts to taste
agrarian joys. Bob is happy; James
is in his glory. Seeds are sproutins
in the garden. A bed of radishes have
thrown up their green shoots. the first
harbingers of the season. Pale sprigs
of early lettuce are peeping out. Be

set his place at the table. Il do hope

Her fear was groundless. Dick
Meade would not disappoint her. for
he was an atom in the great legion
of the unattached; q bachelor and
alone. He had not formed the habit
of declining Invitations to dinner.
Dick was a reporter on q morning
newspaper in New York; Q political
reporter with q leaning toward social
ism and a leniency toward drink.
Poor, blue-eyed, boyish Dick, with
q panacea for all earthly ills except
his own; champion Of the downtrod-
den, but one of them: an aspiring st.
Patrick longing to drive out all the
hydra-headed serpents of monopoly
with a wand Of words; a dreamer Of
dreams, but lovable. withal, and a
stanch friend. He and Reynolds
were almost opposite types and this
very difference In their lives made
them companionable. Dick, also. was
not blind to the attractions of his
friends young wife. She was q charm
ing hostess, he thought The dulcet
harmony he found in this home often
lulled his own feverish philosophy. or.
at least, upset 1t.
