ing stories OF his adventures and picture
showing what sturdy, bright-eyed little
chan he was. Mrs. Curry, reading her
paper one morning in her luxurious suite at
the Hotel Vanderbilt, saw one Of these &C.
counts OF Mikes adventures. Her heart
was filled with sudden desire to lend
helping hand to the luckess stowaway who
bore the same name that had been hers
before marriage. She put on her hat and
started at once for Ellis Island to have a
talk with the Commissioner Of immigration.
The Commissioner introduced Mike to
her. From the moment when he clicked
MIS- heels together and saluted as his dougd.
boy friends had taught him, he quite won
Mrs. Curry's heart. She was convinced
that he was diamond in the rough and
she could imagine nothing more fascinating
than the task of polishing this forlorn waif
into a good American citizen.

In a few minutes everything was Joy
fully arranged. Mr.. Bolster assumed the
bond which Mrs. Curry had given the
immigration authorities when she arranged
for Mikes admission to the United States,
and all the other responsibilities which
the boys upbringing will entail. Once
more Mike ,Gilhooley's lucky star had
saved him. His fairy godmother had
gone broke" but even that could not
spoil his chances of happiness and sue
cess. All 1t did was to give him fairy
godfather who will bestow on him as
many advantages as the generous Mrs.
Curry would have done had she been
possessed of a better head for finance.
In the words OF Mike himself, "Can you
beat that for luck?" And before any one
has q chance to reply the boy makes
answer himself, with a thoughtful shake
Of his head: "Tll tell the world you can't"
The real interest in Mike Gilhooley's
life begins after the death OF his father,
shortly before the outbreak Of the great
war There was little money and Mike
and his mother had hard work making.

conditions we're even worse. and then one
day Mrs. Gilhooles was killed by Ger
man bomb and little Mike was left to face
the world alone.
He made his way to Brussels and eked
out miserable existence, sleeping where
ever he could find place along the docks
and living on food begged from kind
hearted soldiers and sailors. When Amer.
ica entered the war Mike fell In with some
American soldiers There seemed some
wonderful kinship between him and them
he was fascinated by the stories they
told Of the boundless opportunities in the
land from which they had come far across
the sea. At the first opportunity he SNUG

no end OF exciting adventures, narrowly
escaping death on several occasions in his
effort to repay the kindness shown him
by the American doughboys.

no easy task in those days, when every
inch of ship room was needed for return
ing soldiers-and Mike was penniess. All
he possessed in the world were the rags
on his back.
But his ambition was too great to he
easily discouraged. He patiently watched
for his opportunity and at last managed
to hide himself in the hold of an outgoing
transport. Long before the coast of Amer
tca was in sight he was dragged out Of his
hiding place and made prisoner. The
immigration authorities at New York
promptly sent him back to Belgium Four
times he tried this, each time with the
same discouraging result He was fast
making a surprising record of transatlan-
tic trips for boy of his age.
On his fifth attempt he managed to hide
himself so ingeniously inside coil
OF rope that the watchfu ships officers
did not catch sight of his towseled red
head until the transport was feeling It's
way into New York harbor. Once more
came the familiar ceremony of dragging
the stowaway out and turning him over to
the immigration authorities.
