"Pete," says l, as the bullet-headed,
broad-faced old pirate prepares to put
mirror gloss on my tan shoes, shows
the heir apparent comm on?'
It's one of our stock jokes, and Pete
looks up with grin.

"Took him on reglar, did they?" says
I. @But what about that real estate

Old Pete lunches his shoulders

"That'll never do" says 1. "Fiddlin'

You see, I'd been sort of Joachim

ever since the day I'd seen this spruce
young chap climb down out of the chair,

Old Pete explains sheepish how that's
his son, who was workin' over on Seventh
Avenue in a pool parlor. A few days
later he introduces him regular, and he
strikes me as such bright young chap
that got more or less interested. Maybe
it was that happy, good-natured smile of
his.
Anyway, when finds he's only nine
teen and already married, with wife
and youngster to look out for, I kind of
begins plannin' things out for him. First
off 1 got him another job, ad. clerk in
newspaper office, with chance to work
up.
Well, you know how it is v,tan you
start in backin' a party that way: you
feel sort of responsible for 'em. And,
while young Pete seemed to make good
from the first, somehow he didn't last
out. He was no slayer. So I rustles him
another place. And then another. In
fact, every little while I finds myself

friends to find a new job for young Pete

but he's only copyin' the class he trains
with, most of 'em native born.
And early in the game he quit faggin' as
Rinaldi, changin' it to Reynolds. Didn't
even pick wife from among his own
people, but hooks up with young Polish
girl he'd met while he was helpin' run
hand laundry.
so, you see, young Pete had broken
clear away from the Mulberry Street
crowd, and as sample of what the Sec
ond crop could be he promised well. He
sort of stood for what I'd always argued
along that line, and some day l expected
to point with pride to him.
But hearin' how he'd been fred from

any. meant to tell him few things
when he showed up. A week or ten days
go by, though, and no sign of him. When

"Sick, maybe, says he. Maybe not"

the Studio and puts Peabody through
his course of sprouts. I was debatin'
whether, when l got through with him,
l shouldn't 60 scoutin' after young Pete
myself, when Swiftly Joe comes into the
gym and reports mysterious that there's
a lady waitin' to see me in the front
office.
"What Lady," says /, keepin' an eye on
Peabody's left and feintin' for his wind.
"Ahr-r-r, chee!' says Swiftly. "How
should I know? Not regular lady,
understand Gotta couple of kids with
her."
Suppose we stop, then?' suggests Pea
body. "Time's nearly up"
"All right" says l, shuckin' the gloves.
"I'll 60 shoe out the stray family"
Who do find out in the front Office,
though, but Mrs. Pete Reynolds. I'd
only seen her once before when there was
just one baby. She was dolled up kind
of fancy then, and with her pink-and-
white cheeks and her taffy-colored hair
remember thinkin' she was quite stun
ner. But this draggly, limp female with
a shawl over her head l wouldn't have
recognized as the same party if she hadn't
told me who she was.
"You don't say!' says l. well, what's
wrong?'
"Pete," says she, a hopeless sag to her
shoulders "He-he no come back"
"The young rough-neck!" says l.
"How long has he been gomez"
-Four, five days." says she.
WELL, l planted her in a chair, with the
w baby on herlap and the little boy cling
in to her knees, and by degrees got out
of her the whole soggy story. Pete had
gone to hittin' up the booze. 1t was new
trick for him, but at the cafe he'd got to
travelin' with cheap bunch of FOUNDERS,
sporty young clerks and so on, that he
was friendly with, and he'd taken to show
in up at the fiat about the time the milk
was delivered, spendin' the day sleepin'
it off.
Seems he'd been out Of the real estate
Office for weeks, and finally he'd even lost
his place at the Napoli. Meanwhile, the
instalment people had taken back most
of the furniture, and all their knick-knacks
and glad rags had gone to the hock-shop.

cipal court Friday morning was a non

Mrs. Bertha D. Baker of that city
complained that her husband, Joseph
L. Baker, was doing nothing for her

last Tuesday Baker had left his wife,
and on the following day he had re-
fused to let her have anything to eat
in the restaurant: also that on Thurs
day morning last he sued her for d.
vorce. 1t also came out in the testi-
mony that the woman had been i'll and
was not strong enough to work.
Baker claimed in defence Of his al
legged action toward his wife that she
fought him and also scratched him. In
view of the testimony which was in
troduced at the hearing the court
found the respondent guilty and i'm
posed fine of $500, payable weekly,
to the complainant in the sum of Sc
per week. and in case of the failure Of
a weekly payment to be committed to
