A Happy Adventure
for a Tramp

The tramp edged up to our party and held out his
hands for contributions mutterng something about his
hard luck. Each member of the party drew aside it

thrustng his hand in his pocket dropped few coins into
the unfortunate's extended palm. With obsequious
bow and few words of thanks the tramp turned TO
when Law recalled him and said: =
"How about a drink with new friendi'
Calling after another of the party, Law asked each
what he would have to drink but everybody declined
cept myself So the waiter brought brandes and sodas
for Law and the tramp and With flourish Of good
wishes we drank the health of the tramp while the rest
Of the party edged away to little safer position.
After the tramp had gone Law tossed bill to the
waiter and said: 'Good-by I've got to keep appoint

HAVE told of the rather sombre and highly disreput
able side, of my impostor and swndler,
but of course there many episodes Of lighter
often very humorous years of association
with the and fashionable OF society both here and
abroad.
Perhaps it will be grateful change to my readers To
wander away from my various schemes and devices for
getting money out of my friends and relieve the monotony
Of my wicked exploits by recounng rather unusual
happenings among my distinguished society associates.
remember discussion one day with Mr. George Law,
the famous New York millionaire and high liver, and
party of wealthy friends stood about the ornate
and very popular bar Of the famous old Hoffman House
Madison Square
"No, sir said Mr. Law with emphasis, as he disputed
the statement of of the party that gentleman must
be born a gentleman. Il tell you that anybody can be
gentleman if he has the clothes and learns little list Of
millionaire tricks. -
"You'r wrong Law. Any man who has not had some
training breeding will betray, himself at club

"No, am perfectly that clothes are SO per cent

will yon all havei Pardon me if say that
champagne is my only beverage"
Of course all drank champagne, and then
Mr.. Law said:
Truth is: Count Gregory and my friends here were
joining for dinner tonight, and''-
"Then I'll beg Count Gregory and your friends to do
the honor of permitting to be the host this
sion and celebrate my return to the only country worth
living in-what say YOU Count Gregory"
Of course accepted and following my example, the
others accepted and followed the rehabtated tramp
into the dining and had good dinner the old
Hoffman House could provide.
Things went very well, and when the dinner was over
and the guests had George Law sat hack in his chair
and laughed loud and long, to the establishment o: the
walters who not able to what it all about
-"You see, Gregory-we were right. Clothes do make

tomorrow evening""
OF course the readers of this page well know the
preme social position of Mrs Suyvesant Fish To pre-
sent the tramp at Of her social functions would be
achievement which would settle beyond question whether
clothes are the hallmark of gentility or not
So next morning Mr.. Stradivarius and nay valet made
another trip to the ciothers with letter from Mr. law
authorizing the purchase Of dress st and full evening
wardrobe The tramp had had such delightful evening
the night before that he entered ntn the thing with the
greatest relish and had seNdy assumed the dignity and

Law in surveyed the transformed tramp with great
satisfaction and, turning to my valet, said:
"Trust your valet, Count, to make gentleman of
anyone" compliment which struck nearer home to
than Law suspected
Offering the tramp cigar which Law lighted for him,
three sat down in library and conversed in easy
way, men Of entire equality
After explaining fully what his scheme was, Law said:
'And now we must find you name. Suppose call :

laughed loud at the familiarity which the tramp had

"And one thing more, added Law,"No
man can feel like q gentleman without
some money in his pocket. but that little
defect is easily remedied, and will rem.

Law counted out four ffy.dollar bills
and handed them to the tramp. With
hasty glance Mr.. Stradivarius thrust them
in his pocket as il he was accustomed to
have bills Of that size loose in his pockets.
''You are to pay the dinner bill this
evening, and whenever drinks are ordered

afraid to use this money-there will be

We adjourned to the Hoffman House,
leaving the tramp behind to join US in ten
minutes, We had just assembled the
same party as was there in the morning
and had had one round Of drinks when
through the swinging doors of the cafe
came Mr.. Stradivarius, gloves in one
hand and cane hooked over his arm. He
had only half crossed the room when
George Law shouted:

were in town. am delighted to see you"
Rushing up to Law and shaping him on d
shoulder, Strsdivarius replied with great e
thusiasm:

Francis Lynde is another example
of "When a Man Comes to Himself"
the title of an excellent little book
which ex-President Wilson wrote for
young men some years ago.
He was born at Lewiston, N. z, In
1856, went to Denver as a young man,
got him a Job On a railroad, married
a nice young woman and sailed along
In obscurity until he was thirty-seven
years old.
Then he woke up and took his pen
in hand. What he had to say didn't
stir the nation appreciably during the
first FIVE years. In 1898 he wrote
three novels within II months. each
one Of which was ten-strike. After
that 1t was easy.
Mr.. Lynde has romanticized the rail-
roads of the West and written many
other fascinating tales Of that region

implies, for serial reproduction In tnil
