Reporter, Seeking
Ne,0s. Falls" For
Touch Of Stranger

This is the story of so-called hard
hearted reporter who unconsciousiy
| became a friend to man" and was
practically forced to turn the tide OF
| circumstances into what might be
called an involuntary altruistic act.
! Night had fallen and the days work
was completed. A reporter was trod-
ding his way homeward.
Duties at the time were soliciting q
chief asset to the IRIS city briefs.
Desiring to work conscien iously. the
reporter accosted. several individuals
whose anticipated look contoured on
the profiles or who, lacking this omen.

the traveller, gave evidence of their
departure from the city.
The day mad not been altogether
prosperous Many had refused to re-
veal their incognito. At least it seemed
so to the somewhat timid and abashed
cub" who was wondering where a
few more might be found who were,
by their very actions, making news.
1t was growing cold. The mercury
was falling fast, and indications of a
real Jack Frost were coming. He
would try little longer and go home.
He walked briskly. Plans for chan
mel of producing more news had hardly
entered the mind when the young man
found himself face to face with short,
dark complexioned individual A look,
which the reporter interpreted to- be
that of stranger, perhaps leaving the
city was present. The man had prac-
tically confronted him and why not
find out his destination.

interviewer was about to state was not

The man looked solemniy ahead.
The reporter was caught In his own
net. An Interrogation which the re-
porter had been asking many was
turned on him and. tho reluctantly, he
was compelled to answer.

piled the wunderlust.

say I'm cold and hungry. I have just

A well dressed man asking such .
question had the tendency to puzzle
the confronter.
Where are you goin8T
ITO the land of employment, some-
where" came the rather quiet, but
impressive reply.
That was vague, and the reporter
could do nothing with the answer. Then
he became conscious OF his surround
ings. He had practically stopped che
man. He had appealed for aid. It was
his duty to construe the conditions Ia
vorable.
The man was not going to station
to meet happy relatives and friends, or
to a prosperous business. He was
bound to that land where many would
like to go. that Of employment. He
had painted there mentally the land
Of the reign of plenty and kingdom
of happiness.
The accoster Of the stranger played
the better half and responded to the
call.
