Clay tried on the trousers and looked
at himself In the glass. So far as he
could tell he looked just like any other
New Yorker.
The dealer leaned forward and spoke
in whisper. Apparently he was
ashamed Of his softness of heart,
"Fifty-flve doilars-to you"

The clothier called his tailor from

He did not know that he was being
treated to a new form Of the water

Before his dull brain had functioned
to action an iron grip had him by the
back of the neck. He was jerked to

of the man to his body. With the deft
skill Of trained roper Clay swung the
rubber pipe round the body Of the man
again and again, drawing 1t close to

CHAPTER III
The Blq Town.

The Big Town.
When Clay stepped from the station
at the Thirty-fourth Street entrance
New York burst upon him with what
seemed almost threat. He could hear
the roar Of 1t like river rushing down
q canyon. Clay had faced a cattle
stampede. He had ridden out bliz-
gard hunched up with the drifting
herd. He had lived rough all his young
and joyous life But for a moment he
felt chill drench at his heart that
was almost dread. He did not know a
soul In this vast populace. He was
alone among seven or eight million
crazy human beings.
He had checked his suitcase to be
free to look about. He had no destina-
ton and was In no hurry. ALI the day
was before. him. all Of many days. He
drifted down the street and across to
Sixth avenue.
Chance swept him up Sixth to Her
aid square. He was caught In the
river of humanity that races up Broad
way. He wondered where all this rush
Of people was going. What crazy Inn
pulses sent them surging to and frof
And the girls-Clay surrendered to
them at discretion. He had not sup
posed there were so many pretty, we'll
dressed girls In the world.
"First off I'm goin' to get me real

But the janltor on this particular
morning had been fed up with trouble.
One Of the tenants had complained of

The westerner started on his way.
There was no use having row with o

But the Swede misunderstood his
purpose. At Clay's first step forward
he jeriSed round the nozzle and let the
range-rlder have 1t with full force.
Clay was swept back to the wall by
the heavy pressure Of water that
played over him. The stream moved
swiftly up and down him from head
to foot till II had drenched every Inch
OF the perfect fifty-five-dollar suit. He
drowned fathoms deep In water
spout. He was swept over Niagara
Falls. He came to life again to find
himself the choking center Of a world
flood.
He gave a strangled whoop and
charged straight at the man behind the
hose. The two clinched. While they
struggled, the writhing hose slapped
back and forth between them like an
agitated snake. Clay had one ad-
vantage. He was wet through anyhow.
It did not matter how much Of the
deiuge struck him. The janitor fought
to keep dry and he had not chance

tried to rise, the stream beat him back.

again to his feet, and came down sit

skated from under him.

Clay recognized him Immediately.
He had shaken hands once before with

that occasion a fifty-dolIar bill had
passed from one to the other. The
New Yorker evidently did not know
