Howard Jeffries, tired and hungry »nd thoroughly dis- gusted with himself, stood still at the eorner of Fulton street, cursing the luck which had brought him to his present plight.

From under the portals of precipitous ofioa bulldogs, mammoth hires of human Industries, which to right and left soared dlatily from street to sky, swarmed thou- sands'of employes of both sexes— storks,' stenographers, shop girls, mes- senger boys—ell moved by a common Impulse to satiety without further de- lay the animal crarlngs of their phys- ical natures. They strode along with isjfcfc. nei'toui step, each efeatttnw, sad- fcgfhlai with Mi follow, intirwatsd .for the nonce In the day's work, ma* king plans for well-earned recreation when Are o'clock should come and the 'uptown stampede, for Harlem and home begin; The young man sullenly watched the scene, envious pf the energy and actlTlty of ail about bin Each one tn these hurrying throngs, he thought bitterly to himself, was a valuable •nit in the prosperity and welfare of the big town. No matter hew humble Ids or her position, each played • pert la the business life erf the great 'OKf, ; each was AH -on****, unknown, yet lne^spensable cog In the whirling, eempUcated mechanism of the vast world metropolis. Intuitively he felt that be was not one of them, that he had no right even to consider himself their equal. He was utterly useless to anybody. He was without position er money. He was destitute eten of a eared of self-respect* Hadn't he promised Annie not to touch liquor •gain before he found a Job? Yet he had already Imbibed all the whisky which the little money left in his pocket would buy. , Involuntarily, Instinctively, he shrank back late the shadow of a doorway to let the crowds pass. The pavements were now filled to over- sowing and each moment newcomers from the side streets came to swell the human stream. He tried to avoid observation, fearing that some one Bight recognise him, thinking all could read on his face that he was a sot, a self-confessed failure, one of life's incompetents. In his painful aelf-consciousness he believed himself the cynosure of every eye and he evinced as ne thought he detected on certain faces side glances of curiosity, commiseration and contempt. Nor was he' altogether mistaken. More than one passer-by turned to look in his direction, attracted by his peculiar appearance. His was a type not jeen every day In the com- mercial district—the post-graduate college man out at elbows. He was smooth-faced and apparently about 25 years of age. His complexion was fair and his face refined. It would have been handsome but for a droop- ing, irresolute mouth, which denoted more than average weakness of char- acter. The face was thin, chalk-like In its lack of color and deeply seamed with the tell-tale lines of dissipation. Dark circles under his eyes and a peculiar watery look suggested late hours and overfondness for alcoholic refreshment. His clothes had the cat ef expensive tailors, but they were shabby and needed pressing. His linen was soiled and his necktie disar- ranged. His whole appearance was careless snd suggested that reckless- ness of mind which comes of general demoralisation. Howard Jeffries knew that he was a failure, yet like most young men mentally weak, he' insisted-that he could not be held altogether to blame. Secretly, too, he despised these sober, \Industrious people who seemed con- tented with the crumbs of comfort home life. The love of books he con- sidered a pose and he scoffed at the men who took their reading; seriously. The university attracted him mostly by Its most undesirable features* its sports, its secret societies, its petty cliques, and Its rowdyism. The broad He Was a Type Net teen Every Day in the Commercial District tee was nothing to brag about. It \ open arms. With a youth of his pro- was easy to_ be good when not ex* clivltles and inherent weakness the posed to temptation. But for those outcome was inevitable. At so time born with the devil in them it came overfond of study, he regarded resi- hard. It was all a matter of heredity dence in college as a most desirable and influence. One's vices as well ar[ emancipation fi-om The reeTralnl of one's virtues are handed down to us ready made. He had no doubt that tn the Jeffries family somewhere in the unsavory past there had been a weak, vicious ancestor from whom be had inherited all the traits which barred his way to success. The crowds of hungry workers grew bigger every minute. Every one was elbowing his way Into neighboring restaurants, crowding the tables and buffets, all eating voraciously as they talked and laughed. Howard was rudely reminded by Inward pangs that he, too, was famished. Not a thing had passed his Use since he had-left home la Harlem at eight o'clock that morning and he had told Anule that he would be bom* for lunch. There was no use staying downtown any longer. For three weary hours he had trudged from offlce to office seeking employment, answering; advertise- ments, asking for work of any kind, ready to do no matter what, but all to no purpose. Nobody wanted him at any price. What was the good of a man being willing to work if there was no one to employ him? A nice look-out certainly. Hardly a dollar left and no' prospect of getting any more. He hardly had the courage to return home and face Annie. With a muttered exclamation of Impatience he spat from his mouth the half-con- sumed cigarette which was hanging from his lip, and crossing Broadway, walked listlessly In the direction of Park place. He had certainly made a mess of things, yet at one time, not so long ago, what a brilliant future life seemed to have In store for him! No boy had ever been given a better start. He remembered the day he left home to go to Tale; he recalled his father's kind words of encour- agement, his mother's tears. his mother had only lived! maybe, everything would have been different But she died during bis freshman year, carried off suddenly by heart failure. His father married again, a young woman ' SO years his junior, and that had started every- thing off wrong. The old home life had gone forever. He had felt like an intruder the first time he went home and from that day his father's roof had been distasteful to him. Tes, that was the beginning of his hard luck. He could trace all his misfor- tunes back to that He couldn't stand for stepmother,' a haughty, self fish, supercilious, ambitious creature who had little sympathy for her'predeces- sor's child, and no scruple in show- face, was standing at the news stand under the Park place elevated station, quickly Howard extended his hand. • Hello, Coxe!\ he exclaimed. \Whet on earth are you doing in New Yorkt Whoever would have expected to meet you in this howling wilderness?

Their vir- Then, at college, he had met Robert Underwood, the popular upper class- man, who had professed to take a great fancy to him. He, a timid young freshman, was naturally flattered by the friendship of the dashing, fascinat- ing aqphomore and thus commenced that unfortunate intimacy which had brought about the climax to his trou- bles. The suave, amiable Underwood, whom he soon discovered to 1 be a gen- tlemanly scoundrel, borrowed his money and introduced him into the sporty\ set, an exclusive circle into which, thanks to his liberal allowance from home, he was welcomed with mater he ignored completely. Directly he went to Yale he started In to en-i n a joy himself and with the sophisticated Underwood as guide, went to the devil faster than any man before him 1A the entire history of the university. Reading, attendance at lectures, be- came only a convenient cloak to con- ceal his turpitudes. Poker playing, automobile joy rides, hard drinking became the dally curriculum, in town rows and orglee of every descrip- tion he was soon a recognized leader. Scandal followed scandal until he was threatened with expulsion. Then his- father heard ef it and there was a terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr., went im- mediately to New Haven and there followed a stormy interview in which Howard promised te reform, but once the parent's back was turned things went on pretty much as before. There were fresh scandals, the smoke of which reached as far' as New York. Thisrtlme Mr. Jeffries tried the plan of cutting down the money supply and Howard found himself financially em- barrassed. But this had not quite the effect desired by the father, for, rendered desperate by his inability to secure funds with which to carry on his sprees, the young man started in to*gamble heavily, giving notes for his losses and pocketing the ready money when he woa. Then came the supreme scandal which turned his lather's heart to steel. Jeffries, Sr., could forgive much in a young man. He had been young Ahj If+iiinwelf once. None knew better than Thih.'fBi aow diftcult it Is when the blood is rich and red to keep oneself in control. But there was one offence which a man proud of his descent could not condone. He would never forgive the staining of the family name by a degrading marriage. The news came to the unhappy father like a thunder-clap. Howard, probably in a drunken spree, had married secretly a waitress employed in one of the \sporty\ restaurants in New Haven, and to make the mesalliance worse, the girl was not eren of respectable parents. Her father, Billy Delmore, the poolroom king, was a notorious gambler and had died/ in convict stripes. Fine sensation that for the yellow press. \Banker's Son Weds Convict's Daughter.\ So ran th* \scare heads\ in the newspapers. That :waB the last straw for Uf. Jeff. rles, Sr. Me sternly told his son that he never wanted to look upon his face again. Howard bowed* his head to the decree and he had neyer se^n his father since. All this the young man was review- ing In his mind when suddenly his re- flections were disturbed by a friendly hall. 7 \Hello Jeffries, old sport! rWt you know a fellow frat when you see him?\ He looked up. A young man-of athletic build, with a pleasant, frank would get no credit for refusing how. was horribly thirsty and de- pressed. Another drink would cheer him up. It seemed even wicked to decline when it wouldn't coat him anything. They entered a bar conveniently close at hand, and with a tremulous hand Howard carried greedily to his lips the Insidious liquor which had undermined his health and stolen away hla manhood. \Have another?\ said Coxe with a •mile as he saw the glass emptied at a gulp. \I don't care if I do,** replied How- ard. Secretly ashamed of his weak- ness, he shuffled uneasily on his feet \Well .what are you going to do, old man?\ demanded Coxe as he pushed the whisky bottle over. \I'm looking for a Job/' stammered Howard awkwardly. Hastily he went on: \It Isn't so easy. If It was only myself I wouldn't mind. I'd get along somehow. But there's the little girl. She wants to go to work, and J won't hear of it. X couldn't stand for that you know\ Coxe feared a \touch.** Awkwardly he said: (TO BE CONTINUED.) Not the One. \One of them actor fellers wants a doctor quick.\ \There Isn't a doctor handy, but tell him he might call the grocer—he cures 'hams.'\ Illusions. It is true we labor under many il- lusions, but if these were to be done away with we should hardly deem It worth our while to labor at all. Almost none of the things which man so ardently pursues in the belief that they will make him happier is really capable ef doing so, and yet It Is needful that he keep up the pursuit for the sake of what he Incidentally achieves In behalf of destiny. The Illusions we labor under\ par- take, in fine, of the nature of sanitary conditions, though they* chiefly affect the health of the spirit and by that have no municipal functionary ap- pointed to look vigilantly after them. Nor, In fact do they need any such, since providence has been so kind as to see to it that illusions we shall al- ways have.—Puck. Being Natural. Can you, if you be the gentler sex, walk down the street behind an ele- gantly gowned woman and restrain the Impulse to Imitate her poise of bead, her carriage and the fascinating ways she possesses? Have you ever been in a crowded room where one woman was the center of attraction and seen,,someone trying,to imitate her? A woman is l'no.st charming wheh she is natural. A wnman who is natural, even in her erratic moods, does not give offecse. One cannot imi- tate the ways, manners ana strle of another without appearing riilieulnns.
