with bump. "Have you given all
of it over to them girls?"
"Ycs'm," Cooney admitted.
"Have you KEEP none of it fer yur-
self?"
He blinked at her, under his
shaggy eyebrows, guiltily apologetic.
"No'm," he said. And to Barney,
looking from one to the other, sever
al things were clear.
1t was clear that Cooney, having
made himself dependent on his chill
dren, was being housed with ingrati-
tude; that was why he looked apollo
gctic; he was ashamed of them be-
fore her. And he had been trying to
maintain some show of being indie
pendent Of their bounty by going
about for his meals; that was why
he had been dropping in for supper
so frequently with Mrs. Cook. And
his praise of her cooking had not been
disinterested that was why he looked
guilty; he saw that she suspected it.
Mrs. Cook, shrewd and kindly,

back to her. Cooney declared that
he would starve first. Kathleen
scolded him. He accused her of in
gratitude. Things went rapidly from
bad to worse. 1t was cat and
dogs life entirely. And at last
Kathleen, in determined revolt
against the domestic situation. put
the house in an agents hands for
sale and started out to look for a
small fiat in which she could live
economically on her bit of money
and make it impossible for her
relatives to impose" on her anv
longer.
"Oh, now," Mrs. Cook consoled the
Old man, "people has to squabble. 1t
gives them somethin' t occupy their
minds. 1t makes life int'restin'-a
good hot quar'l. You mustn't take
it SO to heart"
'Tain't that, ma'am," he said
pathetically, "but between 'em III

"Well, that's the way O. nature

never do. Never. You mustn't ex-
pect it, man."

tended himself. "All I wanted Of

made no comment on the situation.
She maintained a receptive silence
that drew him out like a vacuum
pump. In few minutes he was
giving up his story, in hints and
evaslons, piecemeal out of all Sc
quence of time and incident, and
with no right understanding himself
OF how 1t had happened or who had
been to blame. Barney ate and
listened
The story was new to him, though
it was as old as King Lear. Coonev
had decided house to his elder
daughter when she married Lieut.
enant Buntz of the fire department; !;
and they had all lived together, rent
ing the parlor floor, the younger
daughter helping to do the house
work. When this young daughter
married machinist Cooney could
DO no less than give her the other
house, where she too followed the
custom Of the street by letting her
vacant floors. He had remained with
the Older girl, who kept him in
clothes and tobacco-and pocket
money for an occasional nip. She
had begrudged him nothing, though
she had limited, after Kathleen's
marriage, that the sister might be
doing something for him, too.
ut was Buntz's notion, that" old
Cooney said. Hes nothin' but a
poor furrlner, y understand, m am.
He's got no right .feelin's whativer."
Then the hard times struck the
quarter, and so many of Mrs. Buntz's
rooms were empty for a whole sum-
mef that she had no money for her
dad. The winter brought some re-
turn of prosperity, but not for him.
He had all he could eat and a COM
Portable room, but Buntz had evi-
IDENTIFY persuaded his wife that her
fathers spending money ought to
come from the other daughter; and
they let him go shabby, with empty
pockets and cold pipe. He left
them-after quarrel with Buntz.
He's durty little furriner," he
explained to Mrs. Cook. "They're

now, mam-thim furriners. They've

view with the Chief early on the fol-
lowing morning; but he did not get
an invitation to the private office
until the afternoon, when Babbing.
after his mornings work and a milk
and-salad luncheon, was smoking the
one cigar that he allowed himself
daily. 1t was supposed, among his
mon, that he devoted this interval
OF nicotine to scheming out the vari-
GUS stratagems by which he solved
his cases; and Barney entered the
sanctum of cerebration with apolo-
getlc misgiving for the request he
wished to make.
AS matter of fact, Babbing had
one of those minds that never con-
sclously apply themselves to THOUGHT
that start like an engine when the
mechanical load is thrown on, and
work best when the necessity is
pressing. He merely smoked a
cigar as sort of siesta, while his
luncheon was settling" And he
received Barney in the best of post
prandial moods, behind a cloud of
tobacco smoke, at his ease in his
swivel chair, mildly quizzical. well

ag'in it,"
Kathleen's man, the machinist,
was the proper sort; and they had
received him with a sympathy that
encouraged his grievance and in
creased his i'll will against Buntz.
But the machinist was chronically
out of work, and Kathleen was no
such manager as her sister; and
though Cooney and the husband
made themselves useful around the
house and shared their tobacco
when they had any-and were con-
vivial together when they could raise
the price Of a glass--old Cooney's
condition was not so much better
than it had been at Buntz's. Affairs
were soon complicated by the fact
that Kathleen. became exasperated
at her husbands idleness and ac-
cused him, before her father, of
being willing to live on the rent
of the rooms instead of working
for himself. Cooney was man of
peace. He avoided taking sides in
the quarrel. But he was drawn into
it by the husbands retort that the
house was not hers, anyway, but
her father sand by the girls ac-
cusation that Cooney encouraged the
husband to loaf. Then she went
to her sister and demanded that
some just arrangement should be
made by which one Of them could
board their father and the other
make him an allowance; and Mrs
Buntz replied that she had always
been willing to board him and would

Cooney rubbed his forehead
"What's that? Say that ag'in."

why they're so snooty?"
"Boy," he confessed, II suppose

Annie asserted her independence
feebly by taking her own time with
the cakes. His mother opened her
lips to reply to him-and closed them
again. But what they both concealed
in the backs of their minds was visi-
bic in Cooney's admiring regard: {:
Barney was on the way to come into
his own with that family.
He refused to say anything more
about his plant until he could COM
plete his preparations for it and
those preparations required word
from Babbing.

Here's the Secret

The Broadway talker is an actor
invariably an actor-and the entire
monologue, one will find, if he listens
attentively, is given over entirely to
the one great topic of Broadway dis
cussion. Listen if you don't believe.
Listen at any time, at any section
of the thoroughfare you please, and
you will find that all that is herein
stated is absolutely, positively, ap-
pallingly true. Always and ever, the
man who does the talking is an
actor, either of the lower or the
middle register, and always, and
ever, he is talking, talking, talking
about himself"
New-York tribune., 1920-08-22

dcbaters in the inland village talk,
and talk violently, but their subjects
are varied. The topic may be the
weather, the tariff, the League of
Nations, Mr. Burleson or Bill BRYAN.
On Other Streets
The noon-hour recreationists in
shop districts Of Fifth Avenue, Twen-
ty-third Street, Fourteenth Street or
other .thoroughfares where hundreds
and thousands toll from dawn to
eventide chat during their hour Of
recess, but one notes variety in the
topics, and much mirth, with every
one contributing to the repartee.
In our special section of the Rialto
the thing is different. Each group
has its one distinctive talker. He
does it all. Mods are all that he gets
or desires from those about him. His
earnestness is employed on ears that
appreciate the Importance of his
remarks, and the speaker of each
particular group, whether it be a
squad Of three, or four, or five, or
six, will be found, from early morn
ing until the twilight hour, talking,
talking, talking about the very same
thing that has made Broadway the
unique conversational thoroughfare
of the world; that has made those
who talk there a people distinct and
apart from those who do their talk
ing elsewhere.
