(XOW GO OX W.'TII THE STORY J CHAPTER S AS TOM and 1 had entered, Sam, with his perpetual grin, had come chuckling over to meet us and es corted us over to the corner booth, where Larry and lone were holding forth. “Folks down on the South Side whar I lives, tells me you-all got my name In yo' ac’ on the air. Mista Barry." Sam announced, chuckling. "That's fight" Tom told him with a grin. “Have to keep you before the public. Sam.” "Catacomb’s cat say Sam's going to remember you for that,” Sam of fered. still chuckling. "Great old guy." Tom commented aa Sam made off, having ascertained our wishes In the manner of refresh ment. Sam’s was distinctly one of the places. His personality had developed a big following. Those dim recesses under the Drive that led to the Cata combs were frequented by banker, broker, copper, Judge, scribe, artist, actor and official. When business wasn’t too pressing. Bain would gladly blend his rich bari tone with you in song. Just before pay day he wrote graciously on his cuff, and a mangy Tom cat which he kept about the place frequently, so Sam said, ordered him to treat his guests. “Well, I see you and Henderson got together on another deal.” I,arry observed In mocking jest, pointing to the new addition to my small library. "What la It this time?” "That's a genuine first edition for which I parted with exactly fifty Cents." 1 Informed him. "It's an old ship's log of a cruise made a cen tury ago to trade trinkets to canni bals for pearls down In the South Sea islands—lt’s the only copy, so it becomes a first as well as an only edition." Through half -closed eyes lone meditatively studied the celling for a moment. “South Beaa. with great crescents of white beach, fringed with tall, graceful palms. The soft swish of the sea. ceaselessly washing the sand; blue, wide sea on which the sun scatters myriads of glittering diamonds. Quiet lagoons and pearls —" site mused aloud. “That's a grand picture." and she opened her •yea again. “Well. well, our little girl friend Win; to be getting up steam and going poetical on us." I remarked lightty "Come out of the day dream, baby l You are right'here in Chi cago. where the elevated trains thun der by on stilts, and where you take your life in your hands every time you croes the street You haven't any r.ght to the wanderlust— * She studied me quisic<y for a few •aeonda. “It like to know why not?” she asked softly. “Just because I held a job on one newspaper for a few years Is no reason I can t dream dreams of Strange scenes and tha fnr-Hung cor ners of the world.

I admitted. “Just !>efore we came (n you were saying—" Tom suggested. "That we etift dwellers of civiliza tion’s great cities are a lot of eco nomic slaves, chained to desks and pay envelopes, just as surely as gal ley slaves were chained." Larry growled. "Wo spend our lives writ ing bail stories about the antics of a lot of uninteresting people for nit wits to road —" "Yes, 1 know what you mean,” I broke In. "Stay In tire rut because It Is • firm, safe and comfortable. All we get out of It 1s barely enough to eat. a roof and a few clothes." Tom. who had been studying the table, looked up. "It Is sort of futile,” he said softly. "1 grind away on that script anti while we are driving over here It goew on tho sir, evaporates, and that's that.” "We are so busy battling the mob to eke out at hare existence that we don't have time to live," 1 agreed. •'We bargain our lives for beauty and take home tinsel.
