SPECIAL SEBVICE“fe

CHAPTER 1 Anthony Worth. Jr. was hunting for a job, not adventure, when he mk down wearily beside a shabby •.ranger in Washington Square, 'ometime* a fellow gets tired of i-rinning and taking it on the ehln, and wonders if a break will ever come. Tony was wondering just that, and the bright June morning made him feel worse. Girls were farthest from his mind as he turned his smoke-gray eyes on the down-and-outer. Another poor fellow licked by life and consoled by Bowery booze. The stranger was taking It easy, dozing on a cushion of newspapers. Tony's glanee flickered downwards. Ironically enough, the top page was society news. The slack-jointed figure of the derelict sprawled half aver the centered photograph of a girl around whom were inserted sketches of palm trees, a sliver of sea, and a yacht He recognized Aer type! Tony muttered angrily, “Same old stuff!" But he bent closer, irritated because the girl’s face was hidden from view. Then, suddenly, he laughed as whimsy moved him to reflect: Gues* it’s the first time that lady's ever been sat on by a real tramp! He tried to feel amoved, but it made him sore. It was her fault It probably never entered her silly head what happened to papers, once they were thrown away. He didn’t need to see her face. He could tell her type: Ade luxe gsl set among gadgets sueh as yachts. Tony's frown lingered on the eut of her sporty linen suit, the turn of her wrist and ankle. Well, be was done with that sort of thing. Tony looked abruptly away into the sunny spaces of the Square, lotted with plump busses and noisy children. He was on edge today, ano that gal exasperated hie discontent with the world. The Park Avenue breed was nothing new to Mm; he wouldn't buy a malted milk for one of those debs. Three year* >f Harvard, then law school, and sienty of so-called fun on the side, tad given him his fill.

The put year had toughened him. to supposed. It was a sour way to itart life; not being able to help inane tally after bis father's busiie*s crash; not being able to get on sith bis career. He ought to con* juej that infernal pride of bis irhich had kept him away from all Us old friends—all of them except food old Ed Keeler, whose couch ind bathroom were life-saver*. Pertaps some day he’d qualify, and sork beside Ed in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. You ought to get going, he bought. You’re slipping, my lad! Bui be was in no hurry to tackle mother round of offices with blast receptionists barring bis way, even •ben he wore what he jeeringly tailed his pusport suit He had it •n today; a gray uck suit draped ty his one-time Fifth Avenue tailor. As Tony slowly got to his feet, a learby child started howling over l scratched knee. The noise woke be tramp. A cop was sauntering ( •ward him. “Ain’t there any peace In this , •orldT" the old fellow whined, : fathering up his papers, ready to nove on. “Heyl" Tony Impulsively fished ' t dime from the scanty supply in tis pocket. “Want to sell thou sapersT” i “It’s a deal. Brother." And ho , lushed the crumpled pile at Tony. ( crabbed the coin and sbufled off. Tony ut down again. He must so nuts to part with the price of ( toffee and doughnuts to save the ' sictare of that girl — wall, from traveling further in such company. He didn’t look at the page for a moment, but when he did, he almost Sung It from him. Os ail the jokes m him. this was ’opal He’d drawn Mario Schuyler for his dime! Her deb year hod been sne succeMiM of headlines; he.had avoided her like the plague. She was just an exhibitionist doing a strip team with her millions; another spoiled brat flying all over the reentry In search of excitement. His fingers crisped the edge of the ibeet as be glared down at her. Tony was probably the only man, w> the ?Jsw York hostesses’ dance who hadn't sHt bet sad shared

They have not been in bed or shaved for a month, and were a bunch of happy fellows when they pulled bach into camp—you can’t blame them. We sure get our share of walkI Ing down here. We walk every place that we go and have been taking some 10 to tn mile hlk«« with full pack and that is just about all I can carry. I am the smallest fellow in our company and they like to kid me about It, but It I* all In fun and they sure are * Ittnich of nice fellows. There are about a thousand a month who "go over the hill here." They most generally get them back in a couple of weeks. That's not so many when you think that there are about xn.ooo men here at the present time. Well. Leo, I must close and stand retreat. Drop m* a line. I would like to hear from you alid tell the rest of the family I said hello and wish you all a lot of luck. Your*. Robert Meyer.

in her escapades. She must be twenty now—quite old for the deb set! She hadn't changed much from other photognths he'd seen. A beauty, all right! Her wide-set eyes seemed to be mocking him right now. Tony scowled at a column devoted to her doings. So she was cruising around Greece, poor little orphan, on the ocean-going yacht her father had left her with a provision for its upkeepl And, apparently, aside from Eve Pryne aa a chaperone—that was a laugh!—and Ray Sheldon (whoever he was), her guests were a bunch of titled foreigners. “Crazy—cock-eyed— |" Tony tore the page in strips so that no one else could use it, tossed them into a refuse can. and walked away, his mouth grim.
