One of your chums told me about you and piloted me here. I gave him a dollar to do it. I'll give you five to g0 over what he's told me and add enough to it to make a two-column ‘special'=what do you say?" Hal Duncan looked bored. It was not the first time he had been the subject of pictorial publicity. Hal was unique as a tramp and a good deal of a gentleman. Something of a mystery, too. It seemed that about two vears since he had appeared among the hoboes. They made a favorite of him, for many a story was told of his care for poor sick fello and homeless ones, many a stirring tale of some thrilling exploits in a ramble over half the country; a fire discovered in time to save a whole business block, a knockout of foot- pads who would have Killed a vietim but for his interference, the rescue of two little children from a burning building. Hal shared everything with his fel- low unfortunates except his moral na- ture of his self-respect. He never got down to rags. He was a reformer all through and had made a famous specch in behalf of the poor and op- pressed that had got into the papers. But he was dead to the old world, | where apparently he must have once b a8 led a life of what people call re. ldren. een-Bryant Bldg., spectability. : ors de o <1 i:i'lo]nog' 367%%9’?“0“9 357, Now for a moment he seemed about to resent the proposal of the ener- getic young newspaper reporter, then with his usual careless self-abandon he shrugged his shoulders resignedly and said: “All right.
