aboard a 9ud<"f? Riv;r tu^uudl plying
near New York, is tossed into
the river by a terrific explosion
which sinks the tug, drowns his
mother and the man he called father.
Ignorant, unschooled and fear (
driven, he drag* himself ashore,
hi . in the friendly darkness of
a covered truck?only to be kicked
out at dawn and into the midst
of a tough gang of boys who beat
and chase ham. He escapes into a
basement doorway where he hides.
The next day he is rescued and ta- i
ken into the home of a Jewish family
living in the rear of their sec- j
ond-hand clothing store. He works j
in the sweatshop store?and i?

as if my life was to be there, doing

Pug pound money out.of-fat siobsj
who come up here." John and VanHorn
were then resting: on a fence
rail m the shade of an oak, looking
across the valley that separated thorn
by a nitle or more from Green he, ugh.
They talked idly. Van Horn pulled
burnt briar and filled it. Hej
drew a few puffs of smoke.
"You've studied a lit." The older j
man had a very wholesome regard'
for John's extra* id;nary researches.
'WeP., yes. f have, Gil. But PugJ

"You've been thinking about this a1
long time?" It was a question.
"Off and ??n for a year, I guess.'
I've been worrying:, Gii. I'm not satisfied.
I'd bate r>> say it, especially to
Pag, after all he's uoise lor mo." ;
"You've told we lot about the
Ijfbr-.-. JBo\yery._ John, and a lot about theEast
Side. It's the river I'd like tbl
hear about." Van Horn spoke, haltingly.
\Veli, Gii. li.eitv* not much to
tell. My mother was everything on [
the river. Now that J know more, Irealize
she was not able to help me.;
Gil, she was beautiful." John's eyes]
held a far-away look. "Her name wasj
Harriet, Harriet Jones, of Haver-1
stray. I know, now, from what I can |
recall, from things I heard, Breen f
was n >t my father. John spoke slow- j
ly. He relit his pipe, and looked off |
over the darkening valley; it was latej
afternoon and cloudy.
Gilbert Van Horn looked off too, j
far away. He dared not look at John.
Gilbert knew more than John Breen.
"My mother was 3 good woman,;
Gil. I know that." j
"Of course she was, and your fa-|
ther, John, he might be found," the
older man still looked away, his voice j
was very low.
"If 1 found him, Gi! "
"Yes, John the- words werej
expectant. The boy paused intense.
"I'd kill hint!" John Breen rose
abruptly, his fist3 clenched, his face
flaming.
Then the two men stepped off, at
a brisk pace, down the hill toward;
Greenbough Farm. Van Horn walked!
a pace or so behind John; tears were j
m his eyes; he couiu not speak. The 1
boy started to dogtrot ahead of him, j

"Hey, Jack," Pug pounded at the!
door of John's room a few days later.)
"Charlie's brought up a letter fromj
Van Horn. A special on it, for you." j
Pug burst into John's room.
"Well? Pug was expectant, as full:
"Read it. Pug." j
"What tha?say, John, I don't
know. What's it about?"
"Here, let me read it. 'Dear John.'
It's about a talk we had the day before
he left. 'Dear John, I have been
thinking about what you said. I won
a lot on you in those scraps, and have
been trying to figure a way in which
I could use the money. If you will

Pug sat on the cot, looked around
the room, the rickety hook shelves,
the familiar figure of his assistant.
"Great God. John, i knew them dar.inj
iiuuka would take y ... com? jjay."
: %fNevei. Pug, never.*' Tear? stoodin
the boy's eye?. He rose, pur his
arm over the bent shoulders ci the)
trainer; the gray head was down. Pug I
looked at the rag carpet, his own eyed!
moist. John bent down and kissed the {
gray hairs of Malonc. That tough
citizen rose suddenly to make a swipe
at him as he fan out and down the
corridor to the showers.
For several weeks follow ing his ad- mission
to the schools of engineering,
after his bout with the entrance ex-: 5
air.iners, John Pieen moved in a ^
strange, imponderable world. ?
Then came the great day of the *'
flag rush between the freshmen and.
sophomores and Hreer/s great phy-;
siquc and strength, made him the! ;
hejj >?f the school. John caught a:*

;o him. He stood beside the gipidcn!5*'
nat?i]?j "Boys, let me down" Johnj"
kicked free and ran across to Van "
Horn. A great many people stood '}
about." John suddenly realized he was c
no. on the gym floor at Greenbough, ; 7*
that his attire was not only scanty. 1
but scandalous; he was practically in
rags. One shoe had disappeared in ..
the battle, lie had not noticed it un- v
til his feet touched the stone steps. .
"Josephine, this is John Brceii. J
John, my ward, Josephine." '
John stood speechless. He held the
hand extended to him. BlUjs eyes, ?l
laughing cvqs, smiled at his predion- ,
nient: Miss Lambert was completely?
aware of the sLriking situation as.11
she felt the tense grip of the hero oi l ^
a college moment. Then freshmen '
rushed up to John and hoisted himjV
ar of his embarrassment. He J*
turned and waved at Josephine and
Van Horn. They waved at him in re- v
turn. The crowd was scattering us 7

CilhorJ Van Jiovn looked out c

still felt the tingling grip of the !

iydsied yellow hair and white teeth,rj
and his confusion, and his superb
arm- ar.d body, sp^'niril-t-o- flit across j
her memory, a viviit picture He wisjntji
at. all like lite- John Krc;r. ^hc:
had expected to see. *
That night Gilbert Van Horn satj,
in the lUipry until long after mid-!
night. Josephine had played for him '
that evening, she too was in a re-k
lieetive mood, a romantic girl, a.
young woman of eighteen. He smoked)
and dreamed and planned.. Gilbertl
Van Horn was determined upon aj
course of action in which every atom
of clever less he possessed would be !
required. At last he had achieve! an|
absorbing occupation.
Gilbert Van Horn, wiser than most
men in some matters, left John very .
much to himself, except at holiday
periods when the two friends met
at Grenebough. As for his ward, he
arranged things so she saw but little. ,
of John Breen. The boy was in .
training, so Van Horn argued, and
Ltd break training was nothing short!
of bad sportsmanship.; Long trips,
visits to Newport, the social activi|
ties o? a select few in the great city
I?these occupied Josephine, and at
i times she pleased herself by, a long ;
look at the full length photograph of
[ Fighting Breen, in ring togs, taken (
just before his battle with the Qua- ..
ker. This stood on the dresser in ;
Van Horn's room. But the John Breen i
of the cold eyes, looking straight j
ahead, his pompadour as stiff as a ;
shoe brush, was of the past. i
"Breen, you're looking stale." Har- :
board of the graduate schools dropped 1
into the room of the student. It was :
close to midnight and John hent over t
his work table, his tired eyes scan- i
ning a maze of formulae in theoret- '
ical mechanics. "What are you dig- 1
ging at?"
"usual stuff." J vim took off his 1
eye shade, evidently with relief. He i
had plunged into the work of the 1
schools with determined energy. Feel- :
ing himself grow stale, he pushed 1
onward with the utmost vigor, ac- )
tually working himself to destruc- <
tion. I
"I'd like to teil you something." :
Harboard drew a battered briar from '

pipe and pulled contentedly. "Four i

"The degree, of civil engineer," <

NEXT WEEK
ADVOCATES SAUERKRAUT
FROM SURPLUS CABBAC
One good way to save the surpll
i>? cabbage now found in many hoi
gardens is to convert the cabbage ir
sauerkraut for use this winter. T
kraut is wholesome and palatable a
will be a welcome addition to t
winter diet.
"Sauerkraut is no more ;h
shredded cabbage that has undergo
a lactic fermentation in brine ma
from its own juice by the additi
5f salt," says Mary Thomas, nutriti
specialist at State Colege. "Soi
people like the kraut better th
:hey do the original cabbage. It si
plies several of the essential mjn<
lis necessary for human nutrition a
;he lactic acid which it contains
i good tonic refreshing the digest!
:raet much as docs buttermilk, j
uost any variety of cabbage may
jsed for the kraut but the slow gro
ng, solid headed varieties are be
The cabbage should be fully inatui
before it is cut for kraut."
Miss Thomas says the 4 to 6 g
on stone ^avs are for kraut m;
ng. Select good, sound heads of cj
3age, quarter them, slice off the ct
ind shred. A slaw cutter or a lai
knife will do for this work. 0
pound of salt for every 40 pounds
cabbage gives the proper strength
brine for best results. Distribute t
;ait as tne caooage is packed ir
the stone jar. Distributing tDunces
or four tablespoonsful to ^
sry cive pounds of cabbage is pre
ably the best way, she says. 1
zabbage must be backed firmly t
not too tightly, covered with a cle
:loth and a clean board with a weig
on it xo cause the brine to come
over the cover.
Keep this jar at a temperature
about 86 degrees so that fermen
tion will be completed in from ;
to eight days. Now put the jar
keg in a cool place. It may be nec
to protect from insects. If the st<
age place is cool, there is little di
?er irom spoilage.

5- {at tackle for three years and cap- \

ie: Clark, who did the major part of 1

he seems destined for the signal-calling

j special ability. If these boys come

d-| development of a first end and tackle,
