Kantrowitz comes in I can see from his face
that he is not so very happy.

"'For why?' I asks him.

that he Is very busy ct home and that should
leave him alone; that he is too busy to come

he is your son also little, now. What can you
do?'

nothing; for what's the use of worrying herl
But when a man has got an only daughter

whatever ate that night was poison What
does Izzy mean by not coming to the ONCE for
three days and answering his own father that
he has no time? No time for business! How
is that possible?
$50 / ask my wife whether she has seen
Margaret. and she said that she had telephoned
her up and asked her to come and Margaret
said she was busy; not to disturb her. So I
remembered my Margaret was never satisfied
that Izzy should not be poet any more, and
my blood got cold. You never can tell with
women.
so aIUer 0lnner i couldn't hold out more.
so I said to my wife that had to 60 some
where very important to lodge meeting and
get into the first taxi and 60 down to WASH
ington Square where they live. In the taxi
think and think what could it be- and wonder
why they should have chosen to live in such
place. There are nicer houses in washington
Heights and still nicer ones In the Bronx Why
should they live in Washington Square? Even
If he was In business, still he was a little
peculiar, and Margaret, even If she was INV
daughter, she, too. had crazy ideas in her head
So got out of the taxi and ring the bell with
my heart so heavy IS If was going to visit
sick relative or going to creditors meeting
OF bankrupt flrm. When the maid opens the
door and come in, my heart becomes 40 times
heavier than 1t already was; for there sits
Izzy at a table and across from him sits INV
Margaret, and Icy has again got long hair
and smokes pipe, and the table is just full OF
books. And the whole house was not like the
home Of o business man. The furniture was
different Full Of couches and candIesticks
Why candlestdcks when there is electricity and
not ike In the old country? >s
:" Just q minute. Pop Icy tells me, and he
reads poetry from book and gets terribly
excited because Margaret does not agree When
Izzy gets through, Margaret says: Er

And she reads another poem to me from q

I FELT like giving up John Henry then and

decided to make one more effort. drove up q
little creek leading OF from Greenbrier River
near Big Bend Tunnel, hoping to see one more
man who was supposed to know all about John
Henry.
Darkness fell quickly as the sun sank behind

a house across the creek from the road man
sat ON the porch smoking. 1 went over the little

with his father at IT, how he carried water and
Henry every day, and, finally, all about the
contest between John Henry and the steam drill
When the agent for the steam drill COM
pany brought the drill here" said Mr.. Miller
John Henry wanted to drive against it, He
TOOK lot OF pride in his work and he hated to

WELL they decided to hold test to get an

test went on all day and part of the next day.
John Henry won. He wouldn't rest enough.

The excoriation goes on, and again the court
room bursts into applause An attendant
dress.
And the sidelights Of great city begin to
form a hurried, cinematic series of shadows.
An old man in rags has been found sleeping
in doorway and is arrested as vagrant
The judge looks up at the clock. It Is in the
morning. He says nothing to the policeman
but signals to bailih. The bailin goes to n
safe and takes out an envelope. From the
envelope the judge removes couple Of 81 bills
This envelope is always on hand for the down
and-out. A hundred dollars or more often IL
dispensed in an evening
Go and get yourself q ROOM" says the
judge.
The court room crowd exchanges meaning
fu glances. Where else under the sun could
one find Judge giving money to q prisoner?
But this Is no ordinary court. This is the
Broadway night court, where every rule and
regulation Of ordinary procedure is changed
THE night wears on. The crowd Trims out,
The ladies in ermine have gone with the
gentlemen in top hats to have q couple of
dances In supper club before the O'Clock
curfew law takes effect The vaudeville actors
nave gradually made their way to some actors

But the endless parade continues Whenever
and wherever in all the Broadway belt anything
has happened, it Is reflected within a few mo-
ments ON this absorbing screen.
Now, well into the night the COPS arrive with
drunken and battered man. He is a <av
Iaoorer who arrived In Manhattan lust q week
before. He had heard Of the bright lights and
the gay places and had taken some $25 and
started out to see the city" taxi driver had
taken him to one Of those places" Those
places are gyp resorts where phoney sirens sit
AT tables, where jazz bands play and where vile
liquor Is dispensed
The stranger is introduced to one of the
sirens. The sirens pretend to order q drink They
get ginger ale and he gets bad whisky. After
time he gets check. He has bought a cou-
pie OF rounds Of drinks yet the check is for $50
or $40. Through the haze Of bad rum, he
sobers suddenly He hasn't that much money.
He gives what he has and takes beating for
the rest Of It, He lands out on the sidewalk
It's an old, old story to the late hours Of

HAD at last come to the end Of John

interpret the evidence as he desires but I ann
convinced that there was man named John
Henry who worked at Big Bend Tunnel. and
That he competed with q steam drill and came
out ahead Whether he died on the SPOT or
not, can't say. Perhaps the legend has added
this to make the tragedy complete
Whether man or myth, John Henry apueals
to something deep-rooted In the heart of the
common man, white or black He stands for
the age-long struggle of man with machine
Man may beat the machine temporarily hut in
the end the machine wins.
There is something almost religious in the
feeling which some Negroes have for this hero
One man said to me. "Cap'n I hopes some
