SEVENTH INSTALLMENT
As he burrowed and grubbed and
collected and stored the kernels of
fact, he visioned a greater, vaster
thing than all of the astonishments
of the surrounding city.
Hubert Malcolm, his teacher, met
John one Saturday afternoon, quite
by accident. They were in Union
Square. "John,, I live over this way;
come in and have tea. Mrs. Mal
colm will be happy to see you. I’ve
been telling her of your progress.”
It was a flat, so clean and fresh,
so simple and pure. John dropped
spoons, blushed, stammered. Enid
Malcolm seemed Lke an angel in her
gingham dress, and the baby, tucked
in a crib, curled its pink hands about
his fingers. It had never occured to
John that a baby could be so clean,
and could seem so happy.
Malcolm smoked a pipe, and John,
like a wild thing, sat tongue-tied.
"Are there many places like this?”
he finally asked, his tones harsh. Mrs.
Malcolm overheard the question.
"Millions of them.” she smiled,
"only much nicer than this.”
John knew the quiet-voiced wo
man was a liar. For the rest of the
visit he sat mute and ill at ease, and
then his friend took him to the
Square and walked with him as far
as Fourteenth Street. John B'reen
headed back to the Bowery more be
wildered than ever.
John Breen had lost his interest in
fighting, in the greater thrill of the
fight for that unknown prize, the
astonishment always lying just ahead.
He was spurred on by curiosity, and
not by ambition. He was the pri
mitive climbing to the top of a
mountain, not for food or treasure
but for a better view. Honor and
prizes, and prosperity, as Pug Malone
kept pointing out to John, lay be
hind the direction he attempted. In
several clandestine bouts, John Breen
only held his own, in one, with the
Philadelphia scrapper Jerry Wilke,
he almost lost, until at the very rag
ged edge of his downfall, Pug plead
ed with him, cried to him, implored
him, literally throwing the handlers
from the ring, talking and arguing
with John who sat sullen and pre
occupied.
The bell sounded and John Breen,
a sudden light in his eyes, his face
battered, stepped into the center of
the ring and knocked Wilke cold
with a single perfect blow to the
jaw. A tremendous howl of ap
proval greeted him; admirers tried to
carry him from the ring.
"Leave him alone,” Pug cautioned.
"That kid was thinkin’ of somethin’
when he hit Jerry, or he never would
of pulled that punch.”
"What was you dreamin’ about,
John,' when you soaked that Quak
er?” Malone asked as they prepared
for bed.
"I was knocking the whole prize
fight game in the eye. I’m through
Pug.” John smiled sadly.
"I guess you’re right,” Malone a
greed. "That crack was too good to
be true. Hell, wish I knew what to
do with you!”
I’ll leave.” John stood looking out
of the window.
Not it I know it! rug jumped
up and grasped John’s hand. "You
stick around an’ finish that school.
I won’t fight you any more, can’t
risk it. The next time some low
brow scrapper will trim you good.
An’ then where will I be?”
So John Breen continued to tend
bar during the day, to work in the
Samson Club gym, to live with Mal
one. Another year drew its veil of
changes over the face of the growing
city.
’'Judge Kelly says they’ll stand
for anythin'1 an’ they’ll pay—pay
well. The McManus looked yellow
and flabby in contrast with the
trainer: "If you work them guys
rough they’ll fall for you,” and then
looking up at Pug with veined blood
shot eyes, he spoke vehemently.
"Kick ’em, beat ’em up, sweat tha
liver out of ’em. Judge Kelly’s
watched you, Pug, knows what you
kin do, an’ he’s lined up guys who’ll
pay. But mind, Pug, you got to
turn tha trick, three at a time. If
you set ’em up right it means a big
thing for you, damn big thing, I
should say.”
"What joint did you -say it was?”
"Greenbough, Farm, a fancy place,
I guess, up in Westchester. Kelly
owns it: got it handed to him, or
somethin’.”
"I’ll need Breen,” Malone spoke as
if to himself.
"Take him. Him an’ his books.
No use fightin’ that kid no more—
he’s a dead pan; a bust!. Aiif t he,
Hannon?”
"Yes, sir, yes sir,” the immancu
late Hannon chinned in as Malone
left the room. The McManus smiled
genially.
"That fixes Kelly on that,” he
grunted. "And I’ll put Patsy iri
charge of the Corner.”
Greenbough Farm consisted of a
fair acreage of rocky uneven land
upon which a roomy comfortable old
house was sinking into gradual de
cay.
Carpenters from the city, working
under direction of Pug Malone, con
verted the barn into a practical gy
mnasium. A farmer and his wife
and son were engaged to run the
place, milk the cows, tend the garden
and the chickens, and cook the
njeals.
The farmhouse itself was given a
thorough cleaning. The wall paper
was stripped from the place, the plas
ter sized and coated with washable
tint. Floors were painted, and bed
rooms were prepared on a model of
Spartan simplicity. Canvas cots and
stools, without backs, were placed
near the windows and a small rag
rug was added by way of luxury.
Three pegs were driven in the doors
for the hanging up of clothes, and
all closets were locked and nailed.
There were no lights, no mirrors, no
shelves, no pictures. There was ab
solutely nothing to distract from the
business of sleeping for which the
rooms were designed.
Pug also fitted the windows with
cleats which prevented them from
closing by a foot at the top and bot
tom, and of course there were no
shades.
"There’s nothin’ de luxe about
this place,” Pug remarked to John
when the work had been completed,
a labor in which both John and the
trainer shared with enthusiam. The
green country was a refreshment to
John Breen. In those brief moments,
before he dropped off to slumber,
he seemed to see a fading city, a vast
pile of tenements flashing with
lights and the jumbled voices and
cries of millions, as if he had alight
ed in the midst of it suddenly, as he
had, and as if he were then standing
on the rear platform af a train,
whirling him away. The quick rum
ble of the wheels of his ideas lulled
him to sleep.
And on Saturday Gibert Van Horn
Judge Marvin Hart and the great
insurance magnate, E. K. Souther
land, came under the strict regimen
and spartan simplicity of Pug Mal
one’s training farm.
Van Horn and Johnny Breen were
thrown together and unconsciously,
became strongly attracted to each
other.
Two weeks after the arrival of
the trio the bags with their elaborate
provision for comfort, their toilet
sets, silk pajamas, and fancy knick
ers, the country toggery of city folk,
were again on the verandah. The
three men, strangely sober, tough
and clear-eyed, marched up, took
their traps down to the waiting
buckboard and then, of a sudden,
they rushed back yelling like Ind
ians. They grabbed the trainer,
hoisted him on their shoulders, car
ried him down the field and tossed
him on a hay stack.
"Boys, your better’n I expected,”
Pug shouted, waving at them as they
ran for the buckboard, calling "good
by” to John Breen and Pug, while
the grin on the face of Charlie and
the frantic apron waving trom tne
kitchen doorway, and the expansive
face of the driver, told of extraordi
nary largess by the departing guests.
Pug Malone became sole owner of
the farm, for Judge Kelly, impul
sive and liberal, sounded the full
measure of his worth, and) besides
advertising it, he made easy terms
for the trainer. Van Horn became
a frequent visitor, and brought many
of his friends; he seemed even more
interested in Johm Breen than in
the farm. E. K. Southerand said
nothing, but sent Malone a check
that almost took his breath away.
John was approaching twenty. He
was an indefatigable reader, his
room, on the top floor of Green
bough, was littered with books, and
while the rigid rules turned lights
out at nine, John’s blazed far into
the night as he continued his ex
plorations.
While John was making haphazard
progress in learning, the great city
to the south, the city that loomed up
on clear days and glowed with a cold
aura of light on sharp winter nights,
added another million to the tally
of its inhabitants.
Van Horn, in his own way a lover
of the city, took John Breen on long
rides through the width of the met
ropolis in his new (high-powered rac
ing car, a second French machine
that sped over the poor roads with
a soft purr of chains clicking in
giant sprockets.
What was this damn thing, the
city? Van Horn, in_ arguments at
Greenbough, with men such as Ran
toul, the engineer, attempted to fat
hom its meaning. His ancestors had
predicted great things for ft and
their faith had been rewarded, but
their dreams were already far behind
the actuality that was the city in
the year 1905.
"It’s simply a natural coming to
gether for cheaper warmth and shel
ter and food. It’s a result of speci
alization in industry made possible
by progress in the mechanical arts,”
Rantoul looked upon the city as just
beginning.
"This building will never stop,”
Herkimer Pratt, the auctioneer, in
sisted. "Ten years, twenty, thirty,
fifty, a thousand years. It will keep
right on until—until—”
"Until what?” asked Van Horn.”
"Well, I guess it will continue un
til all the people of the world are
assembled in cities.” His vision was
of a world cut up in city lots.
John Breen, listening, reading, and
appraising, sensed the immensity of
the city.
* «■ *
John Breen had come up through
the dfficult period of life with a
rush. His childhood held on in;to
manhood, and his sudden crash from
the shell of circumstances found him
emerging into a world of delirious
earnestness. John was twenty-two,
and as he strode beside the rather tall
figure of Gilbert Van Horn, on one
of their lonig walks, in early1 Septem
ber, a casual observer might have
pronounced them father and son,'.
Gilbert Van Horn and John Breen
had become friends, close, yet mi'es
and miles apart.
They talked as they had long talk
ed, on many subjects. Van Horn’s
interest in the prize ring and John’s
ability and knowledge gave them a
common topic. The fights, many
of which they saw together, had long
ceased to be an absorbing interest
with John Breen.
"Gil.” He paused for a moment.
The older man was puffing as they
lifted over a rise of ground. "I’m
getting tired of this traininlg game,
and I haven’t fought in the ring
since Pug came up here. Fact is I’m
not so sure there is any real fight in
the business. Gil, it’s a rotten busi
ness.”
"I’ve made up my mind to break
this training, Gil.”
"I guess you would, John.
