candidate for free meal tickets before

assent from the hungry one, Alderman

the water department, who happened TO
be passing along the corridor. The way ,,
farer had begun to sidle toward the main

to talk in a business-like fashion, and |

doors he caught the information that he
could start work in the morning. Evil |

sound for the hungry man, for he APP |
pesred no more at city hall.
