 He was hungry. And the fact that he was broke, McFall refiect- ed, only sharpened the bangs of hunger that had assailed him with increasing acuteness for the last few days.
 But now he was desperate. A man could go only so long without food. He simply couldn't go any longer, McFall determined firmly. He had to eat. Soon.
 Well. the avenue was lined with restaurants. The worst they could do to him would be to send him to jail-or make him wash dishes if he were to walk into any of these restaurants, eat a meal and then tell them that he couldn't pay for 1t.
 The thought suggested itself that he might go into any of these places, order Q meal. eat and then dash out. But, at any rate, the thing to do, his stomach warned, was to go into one of the places, eat and then worry about the consequences.
 Most of the restaurants along the avenue were well filled. McFall ob- served. He stood in front of one that was damned with people; but it was too crowded he decided, and the man behind the cashiers cage had the appearance of one who wouldn't deal very Kindly with any one who tried to get out without paying for his meal.
 No, he'd skip that place. A few doors farther along the street he encountered a more likely place. This was just an ordinary restau- rant, not too elaborate, and McFall looked in the window of the place to see nice-lc oking young girl, crisp and gleaming in neat, white uniform, waiting on a table.
 The place wasn't crowded. There were only Q few customers at the counter and tables. McFall saun- tered i@. He wondered what the outcome of all this would be. But 1t was no time to worry about that now. The thing to dc was to get food in his stomach. He could probably dash out the door easily enough when the time came.
 McFall sat down at the counter. He couldn't fail to notice how at- tractive the girl in white was as she placed a menu in front of him and turned to the carafe to bring his water. She smiled very socially.
 The situation was beginning to annoy poor McFall more than ever. This was low thing to do-even if he was starving. Perhaps this girl would have to pay for the meal if he ran out. But, no time to be about it; he was hungry and a man must live.
 He ordered a dinner with steak and potatoes and salad. Might as we'll get the works while he was getting it. He sat there duly, gaz- ing out the window at the people passing.
 Presently he was aware of the girl telling him that t would take

He felt thoroughly miserable now. The girl had been so nice, and now she came over to ask if there was anything else wanted. She kept on filling his water glass as McFall stalled for time and kept his gaze riveted to the newspaper without reading a line of it and wondering just what his next move would be.
 But after all, McFall concluded, he'd better make for the door and have it over with. He got up slow ly, ambled lndifferently toward the front of the place, intending when he got close enough to the door to scuttle out as fast as he could.
 Out of the corner of his eye he could see the girl advancing toward the front door, too.
 She thought he was going to pay his check. McFall was bit panic ky now and very uncertain of him. self.
 Moving slowly, he turned in the direction of the door and was just about to take the first step of his getaway when some one roughly slammed into him. Half-turned, McFall caught a sidelong glimpse of a gun in the hand of the man who had bumped him, and at the same time he heard the terse conl- mand, "Stick 'em up!"
 It happened so suddenly, that later McFal wasn't quite clear in the account of his actions. He just happened tosbe in handy position to wrest the gun from the bandits hand and pin the fellows arms be- hind his back as the revolver fell to the floor. McFall held the hold- up man fast in a strong grip as one of the customers in the dining room picked up the gun and held it on the stick-up man.
 After the police, with all due 1 citement, had carted the fellow of to the station McFall sat on stool at the counter talking quiet avidly to the pretty girl in white. In fact, explaining to her his story. How he felt; capturing some one else who came into rob her when he had en- tered with practically the same in- tention himself-to steal meal.
 The vivacious girl in white was smiling. I'm glad you came in when you did" she said sweet1y, and if you're interested I think I could use some one-like you to help me around here. Sort-a look after holdup men and people who walk out on their checks. If you're interested P

 The answer McFaIl got to that question startled him more than little when the girl said: sT do." Now McFall was certain he was the lowest form of humanity that existed to cheat some one like this pleasant girl. But his dinner was ready.
 McFall ate in silence. He tried to eat slowly so he wouldn't manifest just how famished he was. He couldn't remember when food tast- ed as good as it did now. He ate everything on the plate, and the girl in white filled his coffee cup again.
 Now with the meal slowed away he felt a great deal heartier physi- cally and great deal more dispir- ited mentally when he considered that he had either to confess in few minutes that he was broke and unable to pay for his food or sud- denly get up and bolt from the place.
