that was n great sneech.. ha said nv
way of ingratiatinx himself.
The youth pushed the lank hair
out OF his eyes and looked at Jack
wildly. The light of incipient mad
ness was in his cues
"poor devil! poor devil" Thought
Jack. The sight hurt him. A1o,,d he
said: Lets go and have n bite of
supper"
Berg shook. hi. haad.
"Oh. come on," said Jack thrustins
his arm thru the other youths.
The tone OF genuine friendliness
must have reached the cold breast.
Berg gave in without further objec-
ton. 81
& They entered one OF the big bak-
ery-restaurants on Grand street. and
ordered coffee and hamburrers. The
smell of cooking brought a faint
color into Berg's Uvid cheeks. and
his nostrils diiated.
But the hamburgers were not des-
tined to be eaten by them. When he
had given the order. Jack went into
a booth to telephone Evers not to
wait up for him, as he could lodge
outside In his disguise and come in
to change in the morning. Mrs. Ev-
ers took the message. When he
came out Of the booth Berg had left
their table.
Where did my friend go?" Jack
asked the waiter.
I II dunno. Guy come In and spoke
to him private, and he took his hat
and went with him"
"What kind of looking guyr'
"Fat. Real black hair black mons.
tache.N pale face. Dressed neat Der.

This was q eood dissertation of
.Comrade Wilde.
"Oh. DAMMIT" muttered Jack.
He put down the money for what
he had ordered and left the Mace.
He spent three hours wandering
about the East Side, looking into
such places as were still open. on the
bare chance of running into his man.
All In vain OF course, Finally he
sought out a cheap LODGING and threw
himself down exhausted. He was
tormented bv the sense OF an i'm.
