NINTH INSTALLMENT Johnny Breen, 16 years rad, whc had spent all of his life aboard a Hudson river tugboat plying near New York, is tossed into the river in a terrific collision which sinks the tug, drowns his mother and the man he called father. Ignorant, unschooled, and fear driven, he drags himself ashore, hides in the friendly darkness of a huge covered truckonly to be kicked out at dawn?and o f/Miarh era nor r*f llltU LUC UliUOt ui u wugi* ^ w ? river rat boys who beat and chase him. He escapes into a basement doorway where he hides. The next day he is rescued and taken into the home of a Jewish family living in the rear of their second-hand clothing store. He works in the sweatshop store?and is openly courted by Becka?the young daughter. . . . The scene shifts to the home of the wealthy Van Horns ?on 5th Avenue, where lives the bachelor?Gilbert Van Horn ? in whose life there is a hidden chapter. That chapter was an affair with his mother's maid, who left the house when he was accused. The lives of Johnny Breen and Gilbert Van Horn first cross when Van Horn sees Breen win his first important ring battle. Pug Malone. fight trainer, rescues young Breen from a crooked manager, takes him in hand, finds Breen cannot read and starts him to night school and the world commences to open for Johnny Breen . . . Malone, an oldtimer, is backed in a health-farm venrure?taking Breen with him. There they meet and come to know Gilbert Van Horn. John attracts Van Horn, who learns of Breen's Mother, named Harriet. Learning John's desire for an engineering course at Columbia University--he rdvances the money. John comes to know Josephine, Van Horn's ward Now we find John at school.

By heavens, we know more abcut teaching in the kindergarten than we do in the schools of applied science. Science?a great word John, a word to ccnjure with, especially when applied. The rigorous application of science to life. Ah, this would lead ?" Harboard stopped and looked closely at John. The face of the student was white, drawn. "What would it lead to?" John was eager. "To Christianity, John. To tolerance." When Harboard left, John thought long and earnestly upon the things the older man had criticized. Mentally he was far less able than when he entered the schools of higher learning. Midnight came and John still sat dull-eyed. His pipe had gone out and he neglected his books. The task befcre him loomed like a mountain of lead. ui a suaaen oonn creen lost ms hold on the job ahead. He tore off his green shade, slipped on his coat, caught his cap and started cut of the door, walking down the stairs as if in a trance. Out through the black wicket of the dorms, down the long, wet. black-paved avenues, below the naked windswept arches of the great cathedral rising gaunt and massive against the dull orange cf the midnight sky, lit by a billion distant city lamps, reflected downward from the cloudy vault. It was raining, and this seemed to fit his mood. On, and on, away from books, away from tasks and taskmasters, and away from his drudging, grinding self, he trudged. He turned down Fif.h Avenue, and ran easily on the hard gravel, close to the low coping of granite. At Forty-ninth Street he turned east to Third Ave., and still dogtrctted on toward the south. Policemen, flattened in doorways, took him for a home-bound watchman, or night worker, running to escape the rain. As he neared the Bowery, a Strange iailgue came over ? m slowed to a walk. Chills seized his frame. His 'teeth chattered. He began to run again; pain in his Joints filled him with torture. H< continued his pace, doggedly, passing belc-w the deep shadow of Coo per Union, where he had spent sucl marvelous nights, where his sou had glimpsed the bigness of the uni verse. For a while he forgot th shooting pains and rushed aheac wild with sudden desire. It was after one-thirty when 1" Warrenton, North Carolina , m j Tunney Into Politics bj^^^r John B.-een again went into the - wet. He lcoked at 'the river. A shud der of terror came over him. He i turned and ran westward, the il warmth of the coffee gradually - wearing away. But as he chilled he e' knew that he had to keep going, I, he caught his second wind, he knew that he was heading for the dorms. ie It was ten o'clcck in the forenoon THE WA1 ^^IESENBER6 ? ? ? y when the grayhea/red dormitory maid entered John Breen's room. Damp clothing hung over the chair near his bed and John, In levered slumber, tossed in his blankets. He had returned at daybreak and throwing off his clothes and rolled into his bed half dead with exhaustion. Hacboard, on his way to an early seminar, stopped to investigate. John's door was open, the maid was talking volubly, the hall superintendent and a young doctor, a great bulk of a man, bent over the bed. "Bad?" asked Harboard anxiously. "Fever and exhaustion." The doctor, a famous football coach, turned to Harboard, adding with nonprofessional candor, "I can't make him cut." He held a stetnoscope ? his hand. "Heart and lungs O. K. Know him?" the doctor asked. "Well; we are ra:her good friends. He was all right last nlgat but?" "Here, you mean?" the Doctor tapped his forehead knowingly. His swift eye took in the disorder of scattered textbooks and papers. "Engineering." explained Harbcard. " 'Applied science.' Rottenest cramming system in the world. Kills them off quick, or, if they hold out, nine out cf ten are mentally strained. Come out wth case-hardened skulls that orack if they get ideas. Few of 'em ever crack," he added dryly. "What about him, doc;or?" Harboard asked anxiously. The maid was tucking John in, and cne of the hall attendants come up with some warm milk. "Needs rest, I should say; nursing?a change. But what a body! Best all-round specimen I'\> come, across in a long time. Nothing ovqrdone; smooth as silk. What is he, anyhow?" "Been a scrapper. A regular knock-'m'out," Harboard explained, lowering his voice. "Something fine, about the boy, though. He has ideas that's the trouble Mtfth him. We were taking las* night. I never realized his state, or? Well, thank God it's no worse. Anyhow he's got to quit for a while." The doctor looked about. "Right. Complete resi, and a change. Get him out of this." He nodded forcefully at the room and its furnish IllgO. "Have you Mr. Van Horn's address?" Harboard asked of the su- . perintendent. "I think he had better be advised." * * * Josephine Lambert was enjoying one of her periods of retirement, times when she took herself with elaborate seriousness. It was past . ten in the evening; she was absorbedin the life story cf Marie Bashkir.seff. Her long lashes, dark in contrast with her hair, gave her an air of study, a bace knee peeped from the white folds of her gown, a pink roguish knee. Her feet were doubled under her. Josephine was reading the strange ' will of Marie Bashkirtseu. "I don't think I have ever had any base, interested, depraved thoughts. It is . rarely that one can say this, but in my case it is true." On the night Josephine was reading Bashkirtseff, and later on leisurely preparing for bed, John Breen was coming to the breakaway with his overload of study. Josephine lingered in the warmth of her bedroom, a fire burning in the grate. Aunt Wen had gone to bed but Josephine was very much awake . o'U ~ i. a i._ 1 t-? >_ ? one oiiu uuten uunn creen b pnutcgraph from Van Horn's room, the one in short fighting trunks, his right fist guarding his abdomen, his left advanced, his eyes straight ahead, a stiff pompadour rising I g ;T0 US3 dives barber-shop ? shaving BgB comfort Big at home VARICOSE VEINS Healed By New Method No operations nor injections.
