It's a sort of fad with him lately to use slang in his conversa- tion. He thinks it improves lan-| guage. The man he is talking to in| one of New York's famous eco-| nomists. Now will you come on? You can’t use that, you know.” | I agreed, “I can't use that.| Would you call that typical of New) York?" “Of course not.” said Rivington, | with a sigh of relief. “I'm glad you see the difference. But if you want| to hear the real old tough Bowery slang I'll take you down where you'll get your fill of it.” | “I would like it,” I said; “that ts, | if It's the real thing. I've often read! it im books, but I never heard. it De you think {t will be dangerous to fg unprotected among those charac ters?” “Oh, no,” saft Rivington; “not at this time of night. To tell the truth, I haven't been along the Bowery in a long time, but I know it as well as I) do Broadway. We'll look up some of the typical Bowery boys and get them | to talk. Ittl be worth your while. They talk a peculiar dialect that you) won't hear anywhere else on earth.” Rivington and I went east in a/ 424 st. car and then south on the/ Third ave. line. At Houston st walked. “We are now on the famous Bow. ery,” said Rivington: “the Bowery | celebrated in song and story.” We passed block after block of “gents’" furnishing stores—the win. dows full of shirts with prices at- tached and cuffs inside. In other win dows were neckties and no shirts. People walked up and down the side walks. “In some ways,” said I, “this re- minds me of Kokomono, Ind., during the peach-crating season.” Rivington was nettled. “Step into one of these saloons or vaudeville shows,” said he, “with @ large roll of money, and see how! quickly the Bowery will sustain its reputation.” You make impossible conditions,” said I, coldly. By and by Rivington stopped and/ said we were in the heart of the| Bowery. There was a policeman on the corner whom Rivington knew. Hallo, Donahue;” said my guide. “How goes it? My friend and I are down this way looking up a bit of| local color. He's anxious to meet one | of the Bowery types. Can't you put us on to something genuine in that line—something that’s got the color, you know?” Policeman Donahue turned himself | about ponderously, his florid face full good nature. He pointed with his club down the street. “Sure!” he said, huskily. “Here comes a lad now that was born on the Bowery and knows every Inch of it. If he’s ever been above Bleecker st. he’s kept it to himself.” A man about 28 or 29, with a smooth face, was sauntering toward us with his hands in his coat’ pock- ets. Policeman Donahue stopped him with a courteous wave of his club. “Evening, Kerry,” he said. “Here's a couple of gents, friends of mine, that want to hear you spiel some- Can you we got off and/ reel ‘em off a few yards?" “Certainly, Donahue,” said the young man, pleasantly. “Good even- ing, gentlemen,” he said to us, with a pleasant smile. Donahue walked off on his beat. “This is the goods,” whiepered Rivington, nudging me with his el- bow. “Look at his jaw!” “Say, cull,” said Rivington, push- ing back his hat, “wot's doin’? Me and my friend's taking a look down de old line—see? us off dat you was wise to de Bow- ery, Is dat right?” I could not help admiring Riving- ton’s power of adapting himself to his surroundings. “Donahue was right,” said the young man, frankly; “I was brought up on the Bowery. I have been newsboy, teamster, pugilist, member of an organized band of ‘toughs,’ bartender and a ‘sport’ in various meanings of the word. The experi- ence certainly warrants the supposi tion that I have at least a passing acquaintance with a few phases of | years, and I am just De copper tipped | perience I have at the service of my friend Donahue’s friends.” Rivington seemed {ll at ease. “I nay,” he said—somewhat en: treatingly, “I thought — you're not stringing us, are you? It isn't just the kind of talk we expected. You haven't even said ‘Hully gee! once. Do you really belong on the Bow: ery?” “I am afraid.” said the Bowery boy, smilingly, “that at some time you have been enticed into one of the dives of literature and had the counterfeit coin of the Bowery passed upon you. The ‘argot’ to which you doubtless refer was the Invention of certain of your literary ‘discoverers’ who invaded known wilds below Third avenue and put strange squnds into the mout of the inhabitants, Safe in thet homes far to the north and west, the credulous readers who were beguiled by this new ‘dialect’ perused and be leved. Like Marco Polo and Mungo Park—pioneers indeed, but ambitious souls who could not draw the line of demarcation between discovery and invention—the Uterary bones of these explorers are dotting the trackless wastes of the subway. While it is true that after the publication of the mythical language attributed to the dwellers along the Bowery certain of its pat phrases and metaphors were adopted and, to a limited extent, used in this locality, it was because our people are prompt in assimilating whatever is to their commercial ad. vantage. To the tourists who vis ited our newly discovered clime, and who expected a realization of their literary guide books, they supplied the demands of the market. “But perhaps lam wandering from) the question. In what way can I assist you, gentlemen? I beg you will believe that the hospitality of the street is extended to all are, I regret to say, many catch penny places of entertainment, but I cannot conceive that they would entice you.” I felt Rivington heavily against me. “Bay he remarked, with uncer- tait’ utterance; “come and have a drink with us.” “Thank you, but I never drink. I find that alcohol, even in the small est quantities, alters the perspect ive. And I must preserve my per spective, for I am studying the Bow ery. I have lived in it nearly 30 beginning to understand its heartbeats, It is like a great river fed by a hundred alien streams. Each influx brings strange seeds on its flood, strange silt and weeds, and now and then a@ flower of rare promise. To construct this river requires a man who can build lean somewhat dykes against the overflow, who is a} naturalist, a geologist, a humanitar jan, a diver and @ strong swimmer I love my Bowery. It was my cradle and ts my inspiration. I have pub- lished one book. The critics have been kind. I put my heart in it, I am writing another, into which 1 | hope to put both heart and brain. Consider me your, guide, gentlemen. Is there anything I can take you to see, any place to which I can con- duct you?” I was afraid to look at Rivington except with one eye. “Thanks,” said Rivington. “We were looking up... that is... my friend . . . confound it; it's against all precedent, you know .. . awfully obliged... just the same.” “In case,” said our friend, “you would like to meet some of our Bow: ery young men I would be pleased «Horlicks Fy ORIGINAL Malted Milk A Nutritious Diet for All Ages Quick Lunch at Home or Office Asoid Lmitations and Substitutes the un!

He's a tefror when he's out after local color, Now, there's noth- ing I would like better than to dro} fn at the Kappa Delta Phi, but— some other time!” We said our farewells and boarded a homebound car, We had a rabbit on upper Broadway, and then I part- ed with Rivington on a street cor ner, “Well, anyhow,” anid he, braced | and recovered, “it couldn't have hap- pened anywhere but in little old New York.” Which, to say the least, was typ! eal of Rivington.
