And George O'Brien. after few
words OF desultory conversation,
had engaged him then and there. To
report for work the following Mon
day.
He had avoided the only hotel he
knew In New York. the Occidental,
where an incredibly long time be-
fore he had stayed with Joe Shell
burn, and now had a room at the
Harvard Club. The following day
he went out In quest OF lodging

between Fourth and Lexington ave
nues-and moved his belongings
over into a tranquil back room,
whose only window surveyed some
roofs and back areas OF Twenty
fourth street houses.
The new work captivated An

already familiar. having grown up

been certain amateurishness
about the Beacon office, as though
the men had been playing at pro
ducing q paper. Here everything
was complete and professional,
raised, as II were, to the nth power.
He had reported for work at noon,
as he had been told to do, but aside
from being shown one Of two rows
OF battered old desks where he
might sit, no one took the slightest
notice OF him the livelong after
noon. Finally, after five o'clock,
the city editor called him and as
signed him to walk the rounds OF
the police stations Of the south end
OF Manhattan, in the company OF
an Irish lad named Flannery, who
would "show him the ropes"

he had gApwn up in those police

very nearly had. His father had
been a policeman and the lad had
begun his career as an office boy in
the Planet office with more COM
plete knowledge Of police matters
than many trained reporter pos
sessed. Flannery was like a little
dweller on the threshold between
the world of crime and the rest OF
the world.

" every day IL an adventure.
-" For some weeks now An
thony had been vsliantly footing
New York of her rich and many
sensations. He was eating and
drinking New York as one might
eat at feast against time OF
famine.
For Anthony was now one of
those romantic ngures-oh, for
those golden years when romance
irradiates everything!-a reporter
on the New York Planet! And the
Planet, by common consent, is. or
was. the best school Of Journalism
in the country. He was serving an
apprenticeship in order that a
highly trained. progressive and en-
terprising Anthony West might
again one day be at the head of the
Little Rapids Beacon. That was his
heirloom, his inherited duty.
After that nightmare OF pain and
suffering that followed upon the
death OF his mother. 1t had re-
Quired all Of Jim Towards persua-
sion to stir him to return to Cam
bridge and to be graduated with
his class. An inertia had overtaken
him, a numbness to which nothing
mattered any more. But Jim's
friendly energy lifted him squarely
from his slough Of dependency.
and he returned to Cambridge and
completed his course, and now he
was in New York for a brief period
to crown II all. To crown what?
He hardly knew. For whenever he
thought of returning to Little Rap
ids. now that six or seven months
had interviewed between him and
his sorrow, his interest dropped and
withered on its stalk.
The mere fact Of migrating to the
great city after the sort OF twilight,
in which he had passed the last
months at Cambridge, was enough
to awaken him to a new interest in
life. Then, once he came to New
York, the ease with which he OBJ
tanned a Job on the first paper, the
particular paper on his list, was q
triumph and a stimulus.
Are you any relation to the late
Anthony West of the Little Rapids
Beacon?" asked the managing
editor.

SON." And his heart exulted that

The effort to bring forth her
words seemed too great for her.
She sighed GENTLY. A deep peace
stole over her features Anthony
threw one wild look over his shout

thing passing above him. then
swiftly he frightened his arms about
his mothers shoulders. But his
mother was no longer there.

Adela, however, II proved, was

she had engaged herself nearly two
weeks earlier to attend with Arthur
Clark. Arthur was now student
at the State University and an ar
dent admirer of Adela's. Though
piqued by her detection, Anthony
passed two very agreeable hours
with the Towards.
He came home early, learned
from the nurse that his mother was
gently slumbering, and sat down
alone in his room, lost In those
thoughts of youth that are not SO
long as they are elongated.
The plain truth was that Anthony
was crushed by the thought Of CEN
tering all his hopes and dreams and
aspirations upon the Little Rapids
Beacon. 1t was all we'll enough for
Jim Howard, who exulted In mys-
tical fidelity to the paper that he.
associated with his salvation from
ruin and degradation. But for him.
Anthony, after all his passionate
longing, his study and preparation.
1t seemed like preparing oneself for
a wedding and then committing
suicide. What was he to do! What
could he do?
The northwest wind that had
been blowing up during the eve-
ming, hOwlfng and whistling In
chimney and cornices, brought
forth the snow and developed by
midnight into one Of those heavy
prairie billiards. that cover the
earth, stall trains and make the
jewellers of prairie regions feel that
God has forgotten them as they
gasp and yearn for the shelter OF
forests and hills. Anthony lifted

dow, saw the massing of the snow
drifts and ridges and felt himself a
prisoner In Little Rapids. He all
but gasped for air under the sensa-
ton Of being immured. He then
tiptoed out into the hall, listened
at his mothers door and heard no
sound. He returned to his room,
undressed and went to bed.
A minute later, it seemed, al.

His mother smiled family as he

her, as she might have done when
he was q child.
