and rested Polly's head upon bis knee.

A window. He had Just lighted

removed bis shoes and donned a pair
of blue, faded carpet slippers. With
the morbid thlint of the confirmed
dally news drinker, he awkwardly
folded back the pages of au evening
paper, eagerly gulping down the
strong, black headlines, to be followed
aa a chaser by the mlhlor details of
the amaller type.
In an adjoining room awoman was
cooking supper. Odors from strong
bacon and boUlng coffee contended
against thereat plug fumes from the
vespertine pipe.
Outside was one of those crowded
streets of the east side fu which as
twilight fitlts Sntan sets' up his re
cruiting ofi1'. A mighty host of chil
dren danced and ran and played In the
street Above the ptnygrnund forever
hovered a great bird. The bird was
known to humorists as the stork. Out
the people f Chrystle street were bet
ter ornltholnKltsts. They celled it a
vulture.
A Utile girl of twelve came np tim
idly to the umn reading and resting by
the window and said:
"Papa, won't you piny a game of
checkers tilth me If you aren't too
tired?"
The nd haired, unshaven, untidy
man sitting nhoeless by the window
answered, with a frown:
"Checkers: No; 1 won't Can't a
man who works bard ail day hare a
little rest when be comes borne? Why
don't you ao out and play with the
other kids oo the sidewalk T
The woman who was cooking came
to the door.
"John," she raid,' "I don't .like for
Lizzie to ploy in the street They
learn too much there that ain't good
for 'em. She's been In tho bouse all
day long. It seems that you might
give np a Utile of yonr time to amoae

"Let ber go out and piny I Iks the rest

man, "and don't bother me."

The Kid's black eyes were snapping
with the firs of the baited and chal
lenged, He drew otit his "roll" and
slapped fire tens upon the bar. The
three or four young fellows who were
thus "taken" more ekiwiy prodtioea
their stake.
"And. oh. what II be don to you'll

patory glee.
That a my lookout," enui ine mo
sternly. "Fill 'em op all around,

After the round Burke, the Kid's
sponge, sponge bolder, pal, mentor and
grand vizier, drew blm out to tne Dootr
black stand at the sntoon corner, where
00 the official and important matters
of the Small Hoars bocui cmd ware

a little to sentiment under tho magic
of tbe distiller's art "I always used

At 0 o'clock tbe president Kid Mul

on his arm. As the Lorelei'a was .ber

to a "yah," bnt Its quality of assent
waa patent to the most Milesian ears.
She stepped npon her own train and
blushed, and ebe smiled into the eyes
of Kid Mullaly.
And then as tbe two stood In the
middle of the waxed floor the thing
happened to prevent which many
lamps are burning nightly tn many
studies and libraries.
Out from tbe circle of spectators In
tbe hall leaped Fate In a green silk
skirt under the nera do guerre of Lis.
Her eyea were bard and blacker than

Most unwomanly she cried out one
