AFTER all, one of the best points
about real life is that every now
~ and then the schedule goes on the
4 - blink and things happen foolish
and unexpected. Such as this batty affair
l got mixed up in, the other noon.
I'd been around to my fav'rite chop
house for lunch-just a triain' little snack
consistin' of slab of shad roe decorated
with strips of crisp bacon and a spray of
water-cress, fat baked potato Struggled
up against it, with hunk of rhubarb pie
as chaser. And, if you're askin' me,
that's about as fine as they come, no
matter who you are. remarked as much
to Fritz as / showed over the tip, and he
agreed with me cordial. Yes; with such
paltry nourishment as that, felt could
struggle through until dinner-time with
out goin' faint.
Maybe that's why Forty-second Street
looked SO calm and peaceful as l drifted
back to the Physical Culture Studio. AS
a matter of fact, expect it wasn't any
thing of the kind, for the cross-town traffic
was snarled up, gang of wreckers was
tearin' the front off a five-story buildin' in
the middle Of the block, pawn contractors
had a cement-mixer goin' little further
on, and the one o'clock rush back to the
offices was in full swing. But / was
serene and contented, especially under my
belt, and didn't notice anything but the
sunshine.
A few doors from the Studio entrance
] stopped to rubber in at show win
dow. Nothing but the same old display
of electric irons and coasters that I've
passed every day for months; but hung
up and gawped at it interested. If they'd
had an outside barker they might have
sold me most anything.
Then, all of sudden, 1 looks up and
sees this young mob surgin' down on me
from Sixth Avenue way. Seemed to have
oozed up through the sidewalk gratin's or

been dropped off the roofs. I'd take oath
there wasn't anything of the kind in sight
a minute before.
But here was bunch of men and boys
swarmin' around, wavin' their arms push
in, kickin, diggin' in with their elbows,
and shoutin' frantic. It's a crazy-actin,
wild-eyed, pantin' crowd, that sways and
swings and revolves on itself, but all the
time surges along, sweepin' the ordinary
foot traffic one side, brushin' people into
the cutters and doorways, like thunder
storm scatterin' Sunday school picnic.
FIRST off couldn't make anything out
of it at all; but finally spots this short
legged old gent in the gray suit and gray
felt hat who seems to be leadin' the bunch.
That is, he was in front, but walkin'
backwards and sort of pushin' away them
that was nearest to him.
A rummy-lookin' crowd it is, with
hardly clean shave or a fresh collar
in the lot; but they all seemed greatly
worked up over something or other.
"Hey, old sport!" tall, lanky gink was
shoutin'. al didn't git one. You skipped
me- 3Gimme one, gimme one, mister!'
yells another; and so on, until you could
hardly hear yourself think.
And, the first thing | knew, the old
gent has backed square into me, so solid
l had to grab him by the shoulders to keep
both of us from goin' down; and the next
minute we're surrounded with dirty paws
stretched out at us from all sides and
clawin' our coat sleeves promscuous.
AS the old boy turns to see who's
sharin' the center of the stage with him,
gets better look; and, while he's per-
feet stranger, there's something about his
face-maybe that mildly worried look in
his gray blue eyes-that kind Of liked.
Anyway, decides offhand that I'm

While he's sippin' glass Of water
and gettin' his blood pump regulated,
sizes him up curious. First off, had him
placed in the prosperous jay class maybe
country banker, or owner of the big
shingie works or string of brick-yards.
But somehow that don't fit, exactly. For.
one thing, there's too deep tan on his
neck and the lower half of his face-the
sort Of color you find on these old boys !,
