This he began to do with a large Western carelessness that speeiily earned him fame of a sort. Along upper Broadway his advent was a golden joy. Tradesmen learned to love him; florists, jew- ellers and tallors halled his coming with honest fervor; waiters told moving tales of his tips; cabmen fought for the privilege of transporting him; and the hangers-on of rich young men picked pleces of lint assiduously and solicttously from his coat One of his favorite resorts was the sumptuous gambing- house in Forty-fourth street.
