CHAPTER !.

Even Chicago's corroding March
wind could not dull the gloss of his
buoyancy. Like furious mastiff 1t
tore at him angrily, swapping viciously
1T his poorly protected body, snarling
and bowling malevolently. But to him
It was no more than bumptiOus
puppy that worried him not at all.
Head erect, hands thrust deep in rag
ged pockets. he swung jauntily along
the Rush street bridge whistling mer-
rily popular coon song.
He was wretchedly clad--a mass of
rags and tatters. His face was
smudged with healthy growth Of Jet
black beard, and 1t required little scru-
tiny to see he had long been stranger
to soap and water. He was very tall
over six feet--and this accumulated
his slovenliness. He was a man of
twenty-four, with a distinguished face
rather than handsome one, and he
had an athletes physique.
At the south end of the bridge he
turned and started across the street.
Midway he stopped short. Standing
on the opposite sidewalk was plain
clothes detective, Pat Kelly by name,
who yesterday had arrested him on a
vagrancy charge and released him
with warning to leave the city or suf-
fer the consequences.
There was no time for hesitation.
He had caught Kelly's unfriendly eye,
and he knew what to expect. He

plunged directly in the path of high
powered touring car which came hur-
Ting across the bridge.
Things happened quickly. It was
too late to sidestep the onrushing ma
chine, too late to stop it, and the
chauffeur, in frantic effort to avoid
running him down, jerked wildly al
his steering wheel; the big car veered
dashed diagonally across the street
and smashed slap-bang against bricl
wall.
The hood of the car was caved in
the lamps demolished. the front wheel
broken and the axle twisted; but t
the occupants-two girls who sat il
the tonneau-no harm had come.
As soon as the vagabond locke,
upon the wreck, smashing blow
caught him behind the ear, anothe
on his neck; an arm was twisted be
hind his back, and red. hairy han
clutched at his throat. Without turn
ing round he knew it was Kelly; knew
also. that he must not strike back, TO
nothing earns a culprit quicker or 81
verer punishment than resisting an Of

UP-To-DATE

Here's an up : to date /
story, If there ever was one.
In the opening chapter the
hero is an unkempt tramp;
at the end he's a candidate
for the mayoralty Of Chi
cago, a capitalist and the
lover Of a fashionable girl
on the Lake Shore drive. So
there is room for lots Of ex-
citing experiences in be-
tween.
The Lake Shore drive girl
gives him a dollar to buy
soap and cures him Of being
a hobo. A beautiful Russian
woman starts him in anar-
chy. A poker game starts
him as a successful grain
specuIator and introduces
him to society. Failure to
win the Lake Shore girl
leads him into politics as a
distraction.
The seething life Of the
great cities in this age Of
unrest-that Is "The City
Of Purple Dreams.

PRESIDENCY URGES lNcREAs.
ED PRODUCTION.
ESSENCE OF SATURDAY SPEECH
Speech Bristles With Attacks on G.
o. P.-Let Law Handle Liquor
Observation-Disclosures
Peace Treaty As Issue.

DAYTON, Ohio.-Governor James
M. Cox Saturday formally accepted
the democratic nomination for the
presidency and sharply acknowledged
the peace treaty as the leading issue
of the forthcoming political war.
In a speech bristling with attacks
direct and sarcastic, he denounced
Senator Harding's proposals for ef-
feeting peace as "disheartening," "un-
worthy" "bungling diplomacy and
"unadulterated dishonesty"
The Harding promise for formal
and effective peace so quickly as a
republican congress can pass its
declaration for a republican executive
to sign" Cox declared, means but
one thing-a separate peace with
Germany"
Roosevelt There.
| With Governor Cox and his run
ming mate, Franklin d. Roosevelt,
maching at the head of the parade,
thousands of democracy's leaders and
! followers gathered at the fair grounds
and heard the candidate outline his
campaign.
This he based on securing peace by
staunch adherence to the league OF
nations with interpretations" retain
ing it's fundamental principles ant
not by what he declared the dishon
orable republican plan for a separate
peace with Germany.
On the league issue and generally
the democratic standard bearer de
clared, he presented to the American
people choice between democrats
progress and reactionary republican
ism.
Prohibition was mentioned only b.
inference in strong declaration TO
law enforcement. The governor urge
ratification of the woman suffrag
amendment and pledged many reform
including tax reduction and econom
in government.
His Points.
l thank God take up the standar
of democracy free man, untettere

seriousness of untrammeled Oppo
tunity to render service.
To attempt, after peace is declare
with Germany, to approach Europ
with the view to entering % ne

would either be regarded as arrogar
madness or attempted internatiOn'
bossism.
