‘ THE BOWERY ‘CAVALIERS. mpany, New York World.) You all (Coprrigdt, 1902, by the Prees Publiahing 7) CHAPTER At the Sign of the Tub. it | HAVE come to take you home, Jennie Lee, To the heart that's always yours, Jennie Leo ‘Tho’ your life te one regret, I am pure I love you yet; I will help you to forget, Jennte Lee. Tw the quiet countryside, Jennie Les, I will take you as my: bride, Jennte Lee, Leave the city far behind— It bas treated you unkind— An4 with me true love you'll find, Jennie Lee.” The singer paused, swept the crowd with a glance and extended the expested invitation: “Now, fellows, all join in the chorus. know it. Now, afl togethert” “Jennie Lee, sweet Jennie Lee, No fault with you I find, True love, sweetheart, is blind. Jennie Lee, tho' false to me, You're my little sweetheart still, Sweet Jennie Lee.” One would have needed the most finely developed powers of imagination to have detected any music in the vocaliem which, nevertheless, seemed to be highly appreciated in the ‘tubdhouse” in Bayard street. Even the soloist had absolutely no claim to being called a singer, drawling the air in nasa] mpno- tone. Yet, in spite of all its drawbacks, the song had peculiarly moved the motley gang which sat in their chosen corner in Nigk’e tubhoune. In all was noticeable an evident striving to main- tain an at least sHabby-genteel appearance, but a paper collar here, @ carefully mended coat there told the tale and classified them as nether-world Bo- hemians, For quite @ while after the many-volced discord of the chorus had died away they sat in gilence. “Say, Jack, you ain't had no right to be singing that there alr," at last began Frank Casey, called by his friends ‘“Bluenose” Casey. “Oh, what do you know about music? That's one o’ the latest songs and all the greatest singers sing it every night on the stage,” retorted Jack Delaney, the recognised deed ami minstrel of the ‘‘tutyhouse’ gang. “T ain't saying nothing agin’ that; only we was all feeling good and hewing a laugh when you has to break in with thet song that makes a fellow feel queer afi makes him think of mother and the girl and of home," qualified Casey, his censor. “Oh, cheese it, Frank!'’ broke in Johnnie Daly. “You talking ebout home! You're too good for this push; your home's in heaven, but you're quite al By OWEN KIbDARE. ways from it here in Nick’ “Oh, I don't know," said another, Jim Morrisey, taking part in the discussion, ‘that Frank ta 80 very wrong. You know a song like that one makes & fellow think of a whole lot o' things, which h Hikes to forget, as a rule, I don't think it's a dis- credit to men ike us to show some emoton on hav- (ng our thoughts drawn back to the past and our absent ones. Of coyrso, this song Is all about a girl, Dut there’s lots’o’ fellows on this Bowery who have people attting home and wonder at what has become o' thelr wayward son. I say, these song fare all right, but this is not the place for them, for we are here to enjoy ourselves. and they only make man feel moist around the eyes.” "Good for you, Jimmie," shoted the trrepremstble “Oyster” Brady, “and, besides you can't drink them. Now, who's got any nickels left? Chip in dys, obip in, andilet's see If we can't get enough together to buy another round, which I guesy will be our last one, The push ts most broke now and it's getting late anyway. Come on, now, hip, chip.” Hands went down into pockets and after many peculiar manoeuvres a ifttle change began to drop into Oyster Brady's outstretched palm. “Here, this'll never do,” he remonstrated, after counting the “chicken feed" in his hand. ‘There’ fifteen of us, and I only got fifty-five cents here. Dig down! Dig down! I bet some o” youse is under cover."" “Did you put in anything yourself?’ came from the background, the questioner wisely keeping himself in obscurity. “No, I didn’t,” shouted Brady, angrily looking for the Impertinent tnterlocutor, “for the simple reason that I afr't got a cént, No one ever saw moe going to bed with any money tn me clothes. I couldn't get a wink 0’ sleep worrying about if I was to wake YD dead some morning and have some other blood spend the money I’ left in me pockets. Well, if there ain't no more than 65 cents produced, some o’ youse fel- lows will to split a beer between you, There's Kelly, and Mullaney, and a couple o' more half-dopy— haif a beer ts enough for them, You all know there ain't no use o asking the dago to hang us up ever since he's got that sign etuck up: ‘Pay To-Day and ‘Trust To-Morrow.’ Them greasers learn bad habits quicker than they ought to.” Oyster Brady, the self-appointed treasurer, went to the tar to deliver the order, leaving his friends engaged in desultory conversation. ‘Thetr table was in a small back room, just large enough to hold thelr number, trom which a general view of the place could be had. . ‘The taproom itself was Igrge and wide, flanked on — —— — pe A ROMANCE OF THE NETHER WORLD BOHEMIA, one side by'a garieh and cheap-looking bar. avallable space waa given up to tables and chairs, estate, and that quite often and quite suddenly one more would drop from the ranks of the customers to find a numbered hole In the nameless acre by the Sound, ‘The Intest bit of obituary nows was dished up wht! Brac was euperintenuing the safe delivery of the lant round of “wet goods’ from the bar to their table. “Geo, commented one, ‘they're all going, and I guess it's about time to quit this game." “Ah, say, you make me sick and tired,” sneered aly. ‘How often ain't we heard that before? ‘Going to quit!’ ‘Going to be good!’ and all that.
