One of those sudden moral cataclyamhs that sometimes sweep the city had hurled him from a high and profitable position in the. police | department, ripping off his badge | and buttons and washing into the hands of his lawyers the solid pieces of real estate that his frugality had enabled him to accumulate The passing of the flood left him low and dry. One month after his dis | habilitation a saloonkeeper plucked him by the neck from his free lunch counter as a tabby ptucks a strange kitten from her nest, and cast him asphaltward. This arems low enough. But after that he acquired a cloth top button congress gaiters and wrote complaining letters to the Dewspapera. And then he fought the attendant at the municipal lodg- ing house who tried to give bim a bath. When Murray first saw him he was holding the hand of an Ita} fan woman who sold apples and gar . like one of those structures that you may observe in a dark The captain's shoes were buttoniesa. In @ smothered bass he cursed his star of il-luck. Murray, at his side, wee shrunk inte his dingy and ragged suit of bige serge His hat was pulled low; he eat quiet and a little indis- tinct, Iike some ghost that had been Gisponnemsed. “Tm hungry.” growled the cap of Bashan, I'm starving to death, Right now I could eat a Bowery restaurant clear thru to the stove pipe tn the alley. Can't you think of nothing, Murray? You sit there with your shoulders scrunched up, giving an tmitation ef Reginald Vanderbilt Griving his coach—what | good fire them airs doing you now? Think of some place we can get something to chew.” “You forget, my @ear captain,” |said Murray, without moving, “that lour last attempt at dining was at | my suggestion.” “You bet it waa,” groaned the cap tain, “you bet your life it waa. Have you got any more like that to make }—hey?” “I admit we fafled,” sighed Mur | ray. “I was sure Malone would be the way he talked baseball with me the last time I spent a nickel in his establishment.” “I had this hand,” anid the cap tain, extending the unfortanate member—"I had this hand on the |drumstick of a turkey and two | sardine sandwiches when them wait ers grabbed us.” “I was within two inches of the olives,” said Murray. “Stuffed oltves. |I haven't tasted one In a year.” “What'll we do? grumbled the captain. “We can’t starve.” “Can't we?" said Murray quietly. | “I'm glad to hear that. I was afraid we could.” “You wait here,” sid the captain, | rising heavily and puffily to his feet. | “I'm going to try to make one more | turn, You stay here till I* come back, Murray. I won't be over halt} an hour. If I turn the trick I'll come back flush.” He made some elephantine at tempts at smartening his appec>- ance, He gave his fiery mustache a heavenward twist; he dragged into sight a pair of black-edged cuffs, | deepened the crease in his middle by tightening his belt another hole, and set off, jauntily as @ 200 rhinoc” eros, across the south end of the park. |" When he was out of sight Murray also left the park, hurrying swiftly eastward. He stopped at a building whose steps were flanked by two green lights, “A police emptain named Mar- oney,” he said to the desk sergeant, “was dismissed from the force after being tried under charges three years ago, I believe sentence was sus | pended. Is this man wanted now by | the police?” | “Why are ye asking? tnquired the | sergeant with a frown. wt there micht be a re ra | HUMOR ROMA | twisted and battered; his shirt wit tain—"“dy the top sirloin of the Bull | | | good for one more free lunch after | | ward standing,” explained Murray, easily, “I know the man well, He seems to be keeping himself pretty | shady at present. I could lay my hands on him at any time, If there should be a reward-—* “There's no reward,” interrupted the sergeant, shortly, “The man's not wanted. And neither are ye. § eet out §=Ye are frindly with um, and ye would be selling um. Out | with ye quick, or I'l give ye a start.” Murray gazed at the officer with werene and virtuous dfgnity, “I would be simply doing my éuty as 4 citizen and gentieran,” he said, severely, “If I could assist the law in laying hold of one of its offend ors” Murray hurried back to the bench In the park, He folded his arms and shrank within his clothes to his shost-like presentment. Ten minutes afterward the cap tain arrived the rendezvous, windy and thunderous as a dog-day in Kansas. His collar had been torn away; his straw hat had ox-blood stripes split to the waist. And from head to knee he was drenched with some vile and tgnoble greasy fluid that loudly proclaimed to the nose its component leaven of warlic and kitchen stuff, “For heaven's sake, captain,” miffed Murray, “I doubt that 1 would have waited for you ff I had ‘ THE SEATTLE STAR PATHOS lesa pit to seek him there must be something doing. Charlie guided him by an arm into @ patch of shadow “You know, Mac” he «mid, “they're trying Inspector Pickering on graft charges.” “He was my Lgspector,” said the captain, “O'Shea wants the job," went on Finnegan, “He must have it. It's for the good of the organization. Pickering must go under, Your testimony will do it. He was your ‘man higher up’ when you were on the force, His share of the boodle passed thru your hands. You must go on the stand and testify against him.” “He wan"—Ddegan the captain. “Wait a minute,” said Finnegan. A bundle of yellowish stuff came out of his inside pocket. “Five hun¢red dollars in it for you. Two fifty on the @pot, and the reat™— “He was my friend, I say,” finish ed the captain. “I'll see you and the gang, and the city, and the party tn the flames of Hades before I'll take the stand against Dan Pickering. I'm down and out, but I'm no traitor to a man that's been my friend.” The captain's voice rose and boomed like & split trombone, “Get out of this park, Charile Finnegan, where us thieves and tramps and boomers are your betters, and take your dirty money with you.” Finnegan ¢rifted out by another walk, The captain returned to his suspected you were so desperate as to resort to swifl barrela, ~~ “Cheese it,” mid the captain, harshly. “I'm not hogging f yet. It's af on the outside I went around on Exvex and proposed mar. riage to that Catrina that's got the fruit shop there. Now, that busi. ness could be built up. She's a peach as far as a Dago could ba I thought I had the senoreena mashed sure last week. But look what she done to me! 1 gueas I got too fresh. Well, there's anothér scheme quoered.” “You dont mean to my.” mid with infinite contempt, “Mo?” said the captain. “I'4 marry | the empress of China for one bow! of chop suey. I'd commit murder for « plate of beef stew. I'd steal a wafer from a waif. I'd be a Mormon for a bow! of chowder.” “I think,” sald Murray, resting his on hie hands, “that I would play Judas for the price of one drink of whisky. For thirty pleces of silver wouls—" “Oh, come now? exctaimed the ptain in dismay. “You wouldnt do i happened. Aman that gives his friend away is worse than a pirate.” Thru the park stepped « large man ecanning the benches where the electric light fell. “Is that you, Mac?” he eal@, hait- ing before the Gereiicta His diamond stickpin dazed. His diamond-studded fob chain assisted He was big and smooth and well fed. “Yea, I see it's you,” he continued “They told me at Mike's that I might find you over here. Let me See you a few minutes, Mac.” The captain Ufted himself with a grunt of alacrity.

New York ts divided into two parte—above 434 st. and below 14th, You come from the other part. We both act according to our Nights.” An Muminated clock above the treee retailed the information that ft lacked the half hour of 12. Both men rose from the bench and moved away together as if seized by the same iden, They left the park, struck thru & narrow crons street, and came into Broadway, at this hour as dark, echoing and depeopled as a byway in Pompelt.
