THEY ALSO PAY.

When we hear of a middle-aged
woman being cast aside by her
husband for some pretty little nap
per, young enough to be his daugh-
ter, our sympathy all goes to the
deserted wife.
/ We shed tears of pity as we think
of the poor woman with her house
of life in ruins about her. We
think with compassion of the long
years of service she has given to a
man who rewards her labor with
black ingratitude; Of the love that
she lavished on him.s and that he
sc-,r.c.l. II all her dreams that are
broken through. We think very
often about how poor and homeless
she win be. because the man who
has no sense of his moral obligs-
tions to the woman to whom he IL
married. generally has no sense OF
financial obligation to her either,
and we have all seen old wives
turned out like old horses to starye,
VI al
in all sorts of luxuries.
We have pictured the husbands
NJ these forlorn old women as
happy and gay and carefree. we
have thought of them as reveiing in
the beauty of their young wives and
dancing and frolicking around with
them, and basking in a second
springtime of youth and romance
with never a backward thought to-
ward the old life. and the old wife
except to be glad that they were
left behind.
II has not seemed fair that .he
woman who had given the best Of
her life to a man; and whose only
fault was that she had grown OLD
and homeIy, should have to suner
SO while he went scot free. 1t shocks
our faith in the eternal justice that
rules the world, and that, in the emo
makes the dancer pay the piper.
II appears, however, that trading
old wives for new Is as disastrous q
bargain for the man as II Is for the
woman, and as general thins

1t was Christmas eve and John
had come to the city to buy a
present for his mother.
Entering a jewelry. store he
pointed to a .trinket and told the
storekeeper he would like to buy
1t. But before his selection had
been wrapped up he espied an

preferred.

NEW YORK. March 2s.-A sordid
block in the Furious Forties dotted
with an array Of small hotels that
ask no questions or demand nothing
save that the guests keep quiet
IT is the setting for the sordid liza
sons of the Tenderloin, the sordid-
ness accentuated now and then by
suicide-a poison vial or a leap from
window.
The lobbies arc dark and cheer
less. Even the clerks run to type.
They are short. bald. gnome-like
men who look upon the world with
the eternal eye of suspicion. Every

have the. hard, enameled look SO
well known to- Broadway.
People do not saunter in or out
the entrances. They always dart
in and dart out seemingly conscious
Of the character Of the place. The
bellboys are young West Indians
wise in their knowledge of the Ten
derloin. There is no show Of life
about the hotels OF mornings.
Few are up before noon. and they
patronize the cheap little white
tiled restaurants in the block. The
news-stands in the foyer depict the

in the same way they did at the
segregated vice districts In the old
days. ~
All sense Of social values is lost
to the denizens. Their talk Is
sl&ngy and mostly Of the tawdry
love affairs of others. Not so long
ago, when one was raided and the
women were waiting in a police
matron's room. the matron asked
each where she was born. Only
one Of thirty-four was born in New
York. The others came from small
upstate and Middle West towns.
And the majority came to New York
with the ambition to go on the
stage.

several weeks. and his honor has
sot it into his head that there is al
least one band of stick-up men and
auto thieves working under the pro-
lection of the police.
The first part of the job was
easy, getting a line on the patrol
men involved. I have been q wit
ness, unknown to the gentlemen con-
cerned, in a stick-up which took
place while the patrolman was hid
ing In an alley. At its conclusion he
came out and received his share of
the loot from the two thugs who
did the job. -
Il have allowed myself to be rob-
bed twice, and have arranged, al
together. for seven different men to
lure the bandits into robbing them.
But. the mayor is not SO much
concerned about the patrolmen. He
wants to know how high up that
graft Is percolating. No patrolman
can carry that thing off by himself.
He'd have to falsify his reports He
might stall once, twice, or even
three times, but some resident of
the neighborhood would happen to be
locking out a window some time and
report him. Even the suspicion of
his sergeant or lieutenant, provid-
ing the fatter was not involved.

asked DeKyns scurio6sly.
"A very simple one" replied
Harvey Hunt. 5"YSu know the elu-
siveness OF graft Is due to the fact
that graft money Is always cash
money. You can't watch anybody
every minute Of the time. and 1t
only takes a second to SLIP bill
or q roll of bills, to the secret re-
cipient.
Now just at present the mayor
only wants to know who's getting
the graft. Later he may want evi-
