taxicab. Later, he felt a singing in
his arm. Then he fell asleep.

With his eyes yet closed, Cathew
frowned.

Cathew's eyelids went up half way,
and with eyes which throbbed and
seemed full of dancing spangles of
fire he beheld an enormous paw. 1t
seemingly came down out of no
where, grasped his shoulder cruelty
and shook him.
'In half an hour ye'il be at the
portbunkers with ye'er shovel. That's
all; be there. An no back talk, mind"
Cathew sat up and stared bewilder-
eddy at the gorilla-like face lowered
over him. For his father to rag him
was one thing; but for an utter
stranger to lay hands on him!

FROM" he asked unamiably, still
without recognizing the fact that he
was not in his own bed room at
home.
The paw reached in again, caught
him by the arm, heaved him out bod
lily and flung him sprawling to the
floor. He sprang to his feet and
lunged at his assailants jaw. His
fist struck a cast-iron elbow, and in
return he received clout on the
head that took away all his interest
in the argument.

Not even a match could he find. All

What would they think. his mother,
his father-and the girl? That
he had taken the two hundred and
gone on long carouse. Shanghaied
a block from Broadway.
A week later Cathew was handling
his scoop like an old timer. He
began to harden. He could sleep
dreamlessly,, something he had not
done in five years.
One day as they were nearing Gill
braltar. he determined to seek the
Captain, Zimmerman by name, de-
spite Corrigan's warnings. He was
not going to ask to be landed. All
he wanted was enough money to
send a cable home.
The stokehole crew were permitted
to use the waist and bowdeck, but
they were not allowed abaft the
waist. Cathew knew this, but it
did not deter him. As his foot
touched the quarterback he saw

thing to keep her an invalid; and
but for her entreaties you would have
gone out into the streets long ago.
Arthur stared at his shoes. Where
was this going to end? 1t began to
look serious.
And who gets this money? Boot
legeers and gamblers; they get it.
Well, there isn't another turn to the
rope, my son. This is the wind-up

TN take a chance at the 5000.
said Arthur. Not with any eye to
the future; just to see if I've got stuff
enough in me to make good on it.
When does this $500 begin?''
Right now" Cathew senior filled
out a blank and signed it,
Thanks. Two pretyt good jolts.
Well, no doubt l deserve them"
What was the other jolt?" asked
the father, secretly proud of the
equanimity of the boy.

meant struggle, privation, self-denial,
obstacles overcome"
Cathew, senior, turned to his desk
and began sorting his letters. Kill or
cure, he was thinking; kill or cure.
But in his soul he longcd to take
the boy in his arms and give him a
million. There was a man somewhere
under that unhealthy skin: never q
whimper, never a whine. Kill or cure,
kill or cure.
Arthur went up town to his ia
vorite cafe and ordered bromo
seltzer. He spread cut the check on
the mahogany table, smiling grimiy.
Two hundred month from now ON
and Nell wouldn't marry him IL he
was the last man on earth. What a
fool he was. Why couldn't he brace
up? He got up, paid for his drink,
and went out.
A man slouched after him. In fact,
he had not been cut of sight of this
man since leaving his fathers Of
fees.
He cashed the check and put the
bills in his wallet curious to learn
il he could go through the day with
out breaking into that two hundred.
If he could manage to do that there
was hope.
That night he went to his club, re-
fused dozen offers to drink, de-
clined all card games, and spent
most of his time in the writing room.
The girl who received that letter
never parted with it,
At eleven he started for home in

of his to brace up and be man? Be-
yond counting.
You will see Mrs. Cathew before

ITS the first of the month, and I

Alone, the mother twisted her thin
white hands together and the tears
rolled unchecked down her cheeks.
Never a harsh word to any one, al
ways kindly and lovable; he was only
weak
Henry Cathew was an honest mil
lionaire; so you would not recognize
him if / described him to you. He
was a builder, not a wrecker. His
gray hair was closely clipped. his
smooth face was slightly florid and
his years had merely drawn a crow S
foot at his eyes. He ate and drank
and smoked and worked in modera-
ton. Above his desk on the wall
hung a framed card. in bold type:

At this particular moment (1o:So 20
the second) YOU would have found
him at his desk biting the end of
his pen. Abruptly he rose and
turned the face of the sign to the
wall, and sat down again. His blue
eyes were as hard and cold as steel
rails.
Arthur viewed these ominous signs
imperturbably. The turning of the
card. to the wall appealed to his
ready sense of humor; but he re-
pressed the smile. He was in for a
drubbing; how serious remained to
be learned.
He was big of bone like his father,
but the flesh was pasty and flabby.
He was dressed, however, with scrup-
ulous care. The face for all its evil
dences of dissipation was pleasing.
