Two, days later the news came Fat was
gone. Suddenly life had flickered out Those of
as he really was, were startled and grieyed. But,
after all, perhaps it was best for him. He be-

the pioneers of the new order, the strange band
OF rebels constantly increasing, in their love for
freedom breaking down the old conventions and
paying a heavy price, as all pioneers had to do.
Quickly the news spread among the old
friends. Those of them who had not realized the
seriousness of the case were self-accusing If
they had only known! They were eager to help.
They agreed that, OF course, Fat could have left
no money. When he had money he was always
giving it away to those worse off than himself.
One OF the women friends proceeded to take up
that Fat had bank account, with enough to
provide decent burial

Down the steps l walked meeting a group
OF nurses on the way, and l entered what was
evidently the poor ward" On either side ran
a row of white beds, with man in each. Quickly
my eye roamed the faces. But l didn't

Even then l could not associate that white

He took kind of pride in giving details. The
surgeon had done a good job He was a fine
fellow. The doctors were all fine How about
the nurses? Well, some OF them were great. But
some of them were "crabby." Fat suddenly made
a wry face. "Thc pains fierce, Jimmy" he said

effort Fat turned over and took small tube

Fat and l lunched together one day and
did not hear from him again till month ago,
when, my return home, the presiding genius
Of household said to me: "A very queer
man called you up, a Mr.. Fat. He said you'd
know who he was. But he didn't leave any ad-
dress"
So Fat was in town again Daily l looked
for him. But he did not appear. Weeks passed.
Then friend called me up. did you know
Fat was in town and very sick? He's at hos
ptal. He was operated on few days ago"
l got the name of the hospital and l also
got Fats new name. At the hospital entrance
asked for William Hanna. "Oh, yes" said
the pretty nurse. "Mr. Hanna is here. He's
doing we'll. But he's been very sick. He's in
the ward at the foot of the stairs"

At once problems came up. Fat would wish
to be Cremated. But OF his friends told about
the respectable family he came from in New Or
leans, belonging to the orthodox faith. They
would probably wire to have him buried. Perhaps
they would wish to have the body taken home
We must at once try to find them. We wired and
no word came back. The body we were told
could be kept in a vault till the family was To-
Gated.
Now, there was the question OF services
Though Fat had religious belief could moi
let him go without a formal parting. So We
planned little afternoon service in the under
takers chapel, including brief remarks to be made
by two of his friends and with readings from
Emerson and Walt Whitman.
