ceeded in defeating the ambitions of
Perdicaris.
Tangier, whiS set amid delicious
groves at the foot of Mount Atlas, Is
nevertheless, or was at the time OF
Perdicariss kidnapping, a lawless
place. To be rich there was a dan.
gerous thing. The foreign merchants
who could transact business with all
the world and never he taxed were
always aware of their danger, and
they kept very little ready money on
display in order not to awaken the
greed of the Sultan's officers. Perdi-
carts, trusting in his American ma
tionality, contemptuously Haunted his
wealth without taking any extreme
precautions to guard it. 1t was al
most certain that thieves who were
known to haunt the wilderness outside
the city would try to take some of it
away from him.
Nobody dreamed of danger from

African city almost directly opposite
Gibraltar. The bandit was Mulai
Ahmed ben Mohammed er Raisuli, by
birth a scion of one of the most aristo-
cratic families of Morocco and a

prophet Mohammed.
Ion Perdicaris, of Greek descent. was
born in Trenton, N. j., and had made
in this country a fortune, which he
spent in England and Africa, although
never renouncing his American ma
tionality. His name first became
known when in 1885, while living in
Tangier with his wife, who had been a
Mrs. Marley an English woman, Perdi-
carts sought to wrest from the Ameri-
can Consul that title and authority.
This Consul, man named Mathews,
of Spanish descent, had acted as rep
resentative of the United States in
Morocco for many years, and he sue

so many babies in New York!-eat
dirt by the spoonful and make old
witches houses in the sand.
Every Sunday newspaper prints pic
lures of public fountains with half a
dozen kids or so, very bedraggled as to
hair and clinging as to clothes, splash
ing each other. Those children all
wear a triumphant air of having ac-
complished something by managing to
go swimming in the heart of New
York. Swimming? Poohl Pooh! Why
even Coney Island and Rockaway
nave nothing on the beach at Beck
man place. And think of the tiresome
responsibility of a city fountain with
all the grownups standing around
locking at you. You can get cool OF
course, but you. can't have any fun.
You can't launch RATS and play
you're a. pirate. You can't drag a
fountain for dead bodies and buried
treasure. That is you can't if you're
over 10. Games must have an Gle
rnent of the possible in them as web as
the impossible. It's always possible to
find a dead body or a buried treasure
n the East River. It's been done be-
fore. In fact you can't have secrets
in a fountain with all the park buns
and shopping women who adore "kid-
G'es" standing around looking at you.
Here in the centre of New York,
surrounded by docks and warehouses,
facing Blackwells Island. is a'street of
calm, quiet houses, hiding with their
skirts, as it were, and tapering railing
fingers, this little beach which has
managed to remain free while all the
rest of the shore of Manhattan has
been gobbled by great blank eyed,
corpselike buildings and rotten, creak-
ing docks that jut out like the ten
tacles of some mighty insect into the
river.
At all times of the day and early
night the stones of this little beacn are

full naturalization for all property
destroyed and absolute REIMBURSEMENT
CT all claims to tribute from the United
States thereafter. He compelled the
naughty Bey to appear before him on
the deck of the Guerrero to make this
restitution and submission. There, on
June 80, the Bey signed a treaty in
accordance with Decatur's demands.
Decatur then sailed for Tunis, where
he received from the Bashaw $4,000
in payment for American vessels he
had allowed the British to capture in
his harbor. Thence the Commodore
went to Tripoli and demanded from
the Bey $4,000 for the same kind of
injury to property and the release of
all American prisoners. Included in

draped with the clothing of small boys
and girls. The little girls who can't
swim sit on the rocks in the water
and paddle their feet or wade arouno
close to land, squashing the warm mud
between their toes. The river beach is
very irregular and at some places the
little boys can dive from the rocks at
the waters edge with no danger of
splitting their skulls.
Without doubt the maternal, soft
hearted houses which shelter this little
beach are prim. With respectable
regularity some one comes out on
their front porches and shakes a
duster. The windows are rather too
clean to be interesting to this realistic
age. One would never suspect, for in
stance, that a group of Irish revolt
tionists live in one of the houses.
Some Of the women who were active
in the revolution of 1916 and who
spent weary months in Jail on the
other side have started housekeeping
in this little out Of the way street.
They are just as ardently revolution
airy as ever and often you can hear
them singing their rebel songs.
Home for Girls.
And at another house near tho corner
Miss Young, an Episcopalian deacon
ess, has a home for unfortunate girls.
The home isn't labelled as most homes
are. No one else on the street knows
that girls on probation from Bedford
reformatory and BlaclIwells Island
are living there. Yet the brown stone
house is warm in sheltering girls who
have too ardent craving for light
and color and silk under wear and
things that are so easy to get once
they start drinking cocktails and talk
ing cocaine or heroin, which persuades
them that they do not care. The re-
spectacle old house shifts many a
clandestine cigarette and hides many
unhappy tears.

Ffftieth street. Going west would take
you to the centre of town. The East
River at this point is far more attrac-
tive. The island of Manhattan jsts
out into the East River here Across
this little promontory a street runs
that extends for only two blocks. II
you absent mindedly walked for more
than two blocks in either direction
along Beekman place. which is the
name OF this little street, you would
find yourself walking through the rail-
ing, down a steep cliff and into the
river. -
There are prim brownstone houses
oh each side of the little street, which
isn't very prepossessing. There are no
trees, no grass to soften it's hard out
lines. But all the houses on the east
side of the street have backwards with
flowers and shrubs in them, and if you
look over the fences Of these back
yards you will see that the land slopes
down in quite a steep cliff.
1t isn't a citylike cliff like you see
very often in The Bronx. 1t is a cliff
fascinatingly irregular, Offering many
little hooks and crannies for a small
10y lOOtlOlu. Anu GRASSES anu hetuS
and fragrant clover grow in these
crannies and insects buzz around, in
toXicated by the hot sweet smell, and
the morning sun-the cliff is shady in
the afternoon-gilds the rocks and
grasses.
And There's Beach.
When you have climbed down the
Cliff you'll find that there is a natural
beach extending the length of the two
blocks. True it Is a narrow beach, but
1t is not too narrow to sit there, even
when the big steamships pass and
waves wash in. There are rocks scat
tered around which form natural seats
and the mothers in the neighborhood
take their knitting and embroidery
every afternoon and bask in the shade

you live thirty minutes from
Brooklyn Bridge, don't you?
- So does little Sally who peels
potatoes and washes dishes in one of
the many restaurants on Nassau
street. So does the Moskowitz girl
who works in an embroidery factory
on the East Side. There are stenog-
raphers and Wall Street brokers,
clerks and cab drivers living thirty
minutes from Brooklyn Bridge. There
must be all OF a million people who
rush to use one Of the car lines every
! evening which spread fan shape in all
directions from this centre in Man
haitian. Brooklyn Bridge is terminal
just as are the Grand Central and the
Pennsylvania Station.
Do you remember how the Beloved
Vagabond placed something like a
dollar and thirty cents at the ticket
agents window at the railroad depot
and asked for a ticket for as far as
that would take him? Not that he
didn't have more money. He was at
tracted by the lure of the unknown.
He wanted to take a chance. He
wanted to alight at a station that was
utterly unknown to him and see what
was there.
Think of the places you would dis
cover, the chance you took of happen
ing on an interesting neighborhood if
you boarded any one of the many cars
or trains at Brooklyn Bridge and rode
for exactly thirty minutes and then
got off to explore.
Here is a sample of one of these

Albert Hebbring, Stanley farmer,
was badly burned and bruised when
caught between the firebox of
threshing machine engine and the
feeder. He was held there until hors-
es could be hitched to the separator
to draw it away. Mr.. Hebbring start
ed the engine without knowing that
it was in reverse, and it backed up
on MIN in such way that he could
not reach the lever to stop it. He was
severely burned about the body and
limbs, and is in a hospital in Chippe-
wa Falls. Physicians say he will re-
cover.
