Where-}#i fore Mr. William Steele, jostling his way through the crowded lob- by, found himself mingling freely with the hoi polloi. But he pushed on doggedly and entered ie tawdry tobacco-reeking establish- ment. . It is supposed that, had William been bs brat earlier of the sar- torial ; mees prevailing.in this mye of the penny, he would ve accomplished its invasion in more Foss) eg ag ae it wi was attired in a perfectly- gut linen Suit, brown tie cool with white dots and a ‘Panama hat with a racily-colored band. To say ee he was distinctive here would be to understate grossly. He was, as the poem has it, last, Jone-- jest, loviest, exquisite, apart. And, ing such, he excited comment, much of it unfavorable. , But though there was a suspi-| cion of veiled animosity in the air, no one seemed to care to manifest his disa eee of William in ‘a aioe e ALS the gem ry a collegiate magnificence had been the mainstay of the Stan- ford eleven’s attack. Upon one oc- fasion, after a particularly neat m7 of attacking, he had been al- luded to by a pre eneine a) japer scribe as the “Torri sc of the Rose Bowl.” Now, Fy his life of ease and bee? ie Still-sported shoulders as bi a Torrid Terror of the Rose Bowl.

The man in charge of the shoot- ing-gallery, however, accosted him ospitably. He was an attractive personality with a nose like a shark-hook. “Try yer luck wid da rifles, bud- ay?” he suggested. William waved him aside. But the _shooting- gallery magnate didn’t stay aside. a! cor 3 “ue he wheedled. iness is bad.” “Sorry,” William said.

He paused, therefore, ; and drew fifty cents:from his pocket. “Listen,” he said, “I don’t want to shoot. But here’s a half a buck. It’s yours if you'll take me to the —_ brothers. I’m told they worl ere.” The shooting - gallery man scratched his head, a popular pas- time at Diffenderfer’s. “Don’ know ’em,” he said at last, eyeing the fifty cents wolfishly, “Hell,” Bill said. “Sure dey woik here?” asked the shooting-gallery man. “A fellow said they did,” replied Bill. “Horace and Morris East.” The sinister countenance of the shooting-gallery man cleared. He reac! a paw for the fifty cents. “Well,now why didn’ ya say ya was lookin’ fer Horace and Morris in de foist place?” he said aggriev- edly. “! I know dem guys. C'mon.
