: In the squalid Hotel d'Europe Gerry
occupied large room that overlooked
the quay Even If there had been a
better hotel in town he would not have
moved.
He was not lonely. He wandered
interested through all the struggling
city. When he was too lazy to go to
the city he sat in the precarious bal
cony of his room and watched the city
come to him.
Almost u month had passed since be
landed on his Lethean shore, and 1t
had served him well. The world
seemed to have time-servers in small
regard. He began to think Of his moth
er. He strolled over to the cable sta
ton. The offices were undergoing re-
pairs. The ground floor was unfur.
nished save for table and one chair.
In the chair sat chocolate-colored
employee with long bamboo on the
floor beside him. Gerry's curiosity was
aroused. He went in and wrote his
message to mis- mother-just q few
words telling her he was all right, The
chocolate gentleman folded the mes
sage, slipped It into the split end Of
the bamboo and stuck it up through
hole in the ceiling to the floor above.
Gerry smiled and then laughed at the
gravity with which his smile was re-
ceived. The man looked at him in
astonishment. These English were all
mad and discourteous. What was
there to laugh at In man at work.
Gerry went out and rambled over
the city. Night came on. He was
restless. He wished he had not sent
the message. It was forming itself
into link. he dined badly at q rss-
taurant and then wandered balk to the
quay. Arriving steamers were posted
on q blackboard under street lamp.
The mail from New York was due To-
morrow. The consul's papers would

went down to the quay. a45
A. long, raking craft was taking on
its meager provisions. Gerry engaged
Its captain in a pantomime parley. The
boat was bound for Penedo to take on
cotton. Gerry decided to go to Penedo.
Two of the crew went back with him
to get his baggage. The hotel was
closed. Gerry was the only guest and
he had his key. He had paid his
weekly bill that day, so there was no
need to wake UP anyone. In half an
hour he and his belongings were

Would man in whose heart envy, jealousy and greed are su- preme find his greatest pleasure here' where he can see more wealth, more sue cess than elsewhere? And yet they tell us that New York is money mad; cold, heartless and uncharitable. It IS not so There are people of that kind among our millions, as they are among the thou- sands of smaller cities; as they are among the hundreds of still smaller towns and villages; but they are not essentially or New York, which is city of the masses, where "a mans man for that If you doubt it, it will be my pleasure to introduce you to the janitor of the build ing in which my apartment is located. That man is more of monarch in his lin ted sphere than in John D. Rocke- feller. Jr., or the Kaiser. And there is another of the same sort in virtually every apartment house on the tempting isle of Manhattan.
 Take New York as a municipality: There is no city that does more for it's poor. it's suffering, its helpless. The spirit of charity is everywhere in evidence. Why, even the professional tramp claims that New York is the best place on earth for his kind and he states that he can procure as many as six meals every day, free, by going from one bread line to another.
 Begging has been proved to be thor oughly remunerative here, and there is never mishap of any kind which does not draw its crowd immediately; some at tracted through curiosity, of course, but many willing and eager to render what aid they can.

UP AND DOWN BROADWAY--By Allen Griffin Johnson

with many bundles, remain standing for any length of time in subway or 'L'' train, or on a surface car.
 Whenever an especially needy and worthy case is discovered, the press has but to mention it, and assistance is at hand immediately. For every discourtesy that has been offered me in public places since I have been here, can recall a dozen cases of real courtesy, and exhibi- tions of unselfishness. And in the major ity of the former, there was no doubt provocation, even if unintentional.
 Why does the newcomer feel so ex- tremely lonely when he walks along Broadway? Because he is out of touch is an alien, because he does not under stand them, and they seem cold to him merely because of his own mental at- titude But when he has been here some months. when he understands them bet ter, is he not in nearly every case, thor oughly fascinated? Does he not feel a real happiness in just mingling with the throngs? He does and 1t is because he has fellow feeling for the members thereof. I confess to something of a change of heart along these lines, but this came with better understanding, the first impressions being the result of ignorance. The mask of indifference, which the New Yorker is often forced to don deceived me, as it will many whose ignorance cannot penetrate its trans parency.
 There is many child heart in ma ture body here. They love their play time and they love to play-with each other. They rely more upon the creden- tials man, or a woman's face (the ere dentials character always writes thereon)

go to the retailers. It takes about 2o,0O0 pounds of fish to make one carload.
 Large quantities of fish are now frozen, and held here for sometime before ship ping. A great deal of halibut is salted and put in hogsheads for shipment. Each hogshead holds about $50 pounds, and when full it is worth about s100. The hali- but intended for salting is dressed before it is packed. It is hung by the gills to a hook and is then sliced in two, the back and the front forming great slabs of snow-white meat. The backbone is cut out; the front or belly has no bones. with salt and put into the hogsheads in layers, with a layer of salt between each two layers of fish. Some halibut is smoked and in this form 1t may be found in almost any grocery store.
 During my stay in Prince Rupert and Ketchikan, have gone through some of the big freezing establishments. Each town has its cold storage plants, where halibut and salmon are frozen to be kept for sometime before shipment. The frozen fish are not thawed until they reach the larger cities and towns of the United States, where they are sold. wish I could take you through the big gest cold storage plant of Prince Rupert It has a capacity of 14,000000 pounds of fish. It's buildings are right on the har- bor, and the fish are frozen stiff as soon as they come from the wharves.
 During my stay I have gone through the freezing chambers, whose walls and pipes are covered with frost. Their tenn perature is far below zero. The cold air is produced by the use of ammonia, and the smell of the ammonia almost over masses of fish laid one upon another. like so many sticks of cord wood. I took up one of the smaller fish and let it drop on the floor. It was as hard as stone and the noise was like the crack of a pistol. I examined the fish, but there was no bruise nor dent in the flesh. I stood it on end, resting the tail on the floor, and it did not bend in the least.
 Much of the fish in the cold storage plant was salmon, which had been frozen and stored away to be shipped as needed throughout the year. In some of the rooms I noticed that the noses had been cut from the salmon. The manager told me this was to mark the character of the fish as to it's color. Some of the sal mon have flesh which is white or light pink, while the flesh of others is red. It is impossible to tell the color of the flesh without cutting open the fish, and so the white salmon are marked by slicing their noses The manager says there is really no difference in the taste or quality of the salmon according to it's color, all though the different colors bring a diff ferent price in the market.

after he had begun to understand the angels bit? No, this is not heaven, but let each create his own heaven in his own soul (and love is the ere ator thereof) and he will find no place in which he can be of greater serv- ice-and therefore find greater hap piness-than in New York city.
 I once saw a lower Eastside prize fighter and a prosperous business man of New York meet in a certain south ern city. They had not known each other in Manhattan. but-they both lived there, and they clasped hands as warmly as two long separated broth CTS. That same night the business man cheered the little pug" while he was fighting, though the rest of the audience was strongly against him in favor of local entry There was a fellow feeling there-the fellow feel ing that life in New York creates as it is created nowhere else that I know of.

 And if anyone tells me that love is not the basis. of the fascination that life in this great metropolis exerts, let him come here and live awhile. If love does not awaken in his heart, then he will hate the place with most cor dial hatred, but if it does-well, he will be held so tightly in the grip of the fascination himself that there will be no further need to discuss the ques- tion.

EW YORK. January 22.-(Special
 correspondence.)-This is going to be the answer to a question
 often asked-and the definite ar

 I believe it to be the only correct answer, and also because it contains a message that should be an inspiration.
 The question: Just what is the cause of the wonderful fascination of life in New York city?"
 The answer: Love"
 You see, the exclamation point proves that have anticipated the character of the reception accorded the statement. You are surprised at such an answer. Well, some truths are about the most sur prising things in the world, anyhow And in this case there is no error, much as appearances may seem to indicate the contrary at long range.
 The happiest people in New York, those over whom life here exerts the greatest love for their fellows, the greatest sympathy, the greatest charity, and those (for they are the same) who most sin cerely rejoice in the good fortune and happiness of others.
 Of course, it would be absurd to con- tend that every person in this city IS actuated solely by love for hs fellow men. There are those here who are filled with envy for the fortunate, and they are the same who have no charity for the suffering and helpless. There are also those who. hating humanity, yet rub elbows with it in the effort to extract from it what they can. They, however, are those who grope vainly for joy in the darkness of ignorance for happiness has this peculiar characteristic that, what is subtracted from another's may not be added to our own store.

And in this connection comes a story, which is fairly we'll authenticated of how one of the salmon kings started his fortune in the fish industry on the basis of the then -despised ight-colored salmon. This man had put up his can nery at a location past which the fish came in great numbers on their vshy in to spawn. He was right in his selection of a site and the salmon were caught in vast quantities. They were all, how ever, of the light pink variety, and the fisherman was in despair. At that time no hght-colored salmon had been shipped and the demand everywhere was for salmon of an almost red hue. The man canned his catch and sold 1t by means of a label which implied that it was the only sanitary fish on the mar ket. The label read: This salmon is warranted not to turn red in the can." The most of the catch went to the south it did their business so well that in many of the cities of that locality you can hardly sell red salmon. The peo pie think it is spoiled. and has. there fore, turned red in the can.
 I am surprised at the extent of the fishing industry of this part of the world. The ocean floors of southeastern Alaska are carpeted with fish of many varieties and there are large fishing industries carried on all along the coast out to the Aleutian Islands There are many fish in Boring sea, and the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers are filled with fish of one kind or another. The total value of the Alaskan catch for 1914 was almost $20, 0,000,000. and altogether we have caught enough fish in these wa ters to equal about 30 times what we paid for the territory. The total value up to date has been very close to $220, 100000.
 The most of this has been made up of salmon, the canning of which is an enormous industry. I shall write Of it in the future Next to 1t comes the halbut, which is only in its beginning, although from five to ten million dol lars year is now spent upon that industry In wages and supplies. There are more than 400 men employed fin halibut fishing In Alaska, and the an nual catch is almost 15000000 pounds and is rapidly growing. f.
 There are also large cod fisheries in Alaska, and the cod are said to be equal to those caught on the banks of New foundland. Much of the cod fishing is about the Aleutian Islands, and there are many vessels and stations devoted to the industry. The amount of cod caught last year was more than 100000 pounds, which was an increase of 20 per cent over the catch of the year preceding.
 In addition to the ordinary cod, they
