HAL'SLONG ORDEAL
BY FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER.
SON.

Hal Duncan woke up from his slum-
Der on the sunny side of pile of
lumber at the sound. rubbed his eyes
and stared suspiciously at spruce
appearing young fellow shooting
him with a camera-and smile.
Hey. what are you up to-" chal-
lenged the aroused sleeper
oh. I've got a famous story on you
and l wanted your picture to make
it more interesting" explained Dave
Lind. I'm a reporter for the Star.
One of your chums told me about you
and piloted me here. l gave him a
dollar to do it. I'll give you five TO
60 over what he's told me and add
enough to it to make a two-column
'special'-what do you say? ?"
Hal Duncan looked bored 1t was
not the first time he had been the
subject of pictorial publicity. Hal
was unique as a tramp and a good
deal Of gentleman. Something of a
mystery, too. 1t seemed that about
two years since he had appeared
among the hoboes. They made a
told of his care for poor sick fellows
and homeless ones, many a stirring
tale of some thrilling exploits in a
ramble over half the country; fire
discovered in time to save a whole
business block, knockout of foot
pads who would have killed victim
but for his interference. the rescue of
two little children from burning
building
Hal shared everything with his fell
ture of his self-respect He never got
down to rags. He was reformer all
through and had made famous
speech in behalf Of the poor and OPP
pressed that had got into the papers
But he was dead to the old world
where apparently he must have once
led life Of what people call re
spectability.
Now for a moment he seemed about
to resent the proposal Of the ener
getic young newspaper reporter. Their
with his usual careless self-abandor
he shrugged his shoulders resignedly
and said:
"All right. ! need the money ant
I guess can give you good value"
Pathos, adventure. humor-througt

pityingly and admiringly.

say, though, 1t seems pity to see
a man of your intelligence wasting
your life like common tramp. Why,
my friend?"
Call It the 'wanderlust.' disgust
with the so-called respectable world"
laughed Hal. Il have found warmer
hearts among the wreckase Of human
ity than ever knew In society"
The why" Of the reporter. who left

the latter into sudden reverie.
Why" indeed! Before his mental
vision passed series OF vivid pic

Then bve-his head dropped sor.
rowfully as he thought of Hazel
Green. How he had loved heri how
winsome she had been-but strong
drink had not then relaxed It's awful
influence over him. He finally found
himself penniless. Pride. remorse
tortured him. A man who had money
and position became his rival Hal
knew that Hazel loved him. but bet
ter man had come between. Hal left
the town desperate and became q
homeless wanderer.

he banished the memories that 80 tor

the reporter had thrown aside. They
were political campaign documents
reciting the views and giving a speech
Of Rodney Walton, candidate for con-
gresham in the district.
These also Hal thrust into his
pocket. He proceeded to a barber
shop and thence to a store where he
purchased a hat and some collars and
a tie. His clothing was not bad and.

Long since Hal had recognized the
evil OF strong drink and had elm
mated that feature of his reckless life.
The possession OF money made gen.
erous meal at a restaurant a luxury.
Then he secured a cheap room at the
hotel and slept in real bed for the
first time In months.
There was a fair at Derby, a town
sixty miles away at the extreme edge
of the district. Hal felt like playing

He bought ticket for that place, the

The well-known clash with Mr..
George Moore brought forth many abb
surdities, not the least Of them being
the correspondence ensuing on the of.
Tended artists challenge to a duel.
which Mr.. Moore refused on the sooth-
ing ground that Mr.. Whistler was too
old gentleman and would be sadly
worsted, The sequel Of the duel farce
was a happy play Of Moores upon
Whistlers famous mot. when some
one ranked him with Velasquez, why
drag in Velasquez?"
The two foregathered at the same
atelier one Sunday afternoon. They
nearly collided In entering, but Moore
was the first inside. The hostess
heard sounds from the hall something
between china breaking and the
stamping Of hoofs. She went out to
find James in a mighty rage.
Dear mel" said the lady. What
Is the matter, dear master?"
