At the corner of the Bowery and Grand Street a policeman in a great rain-cape opened the yellow bu.v on the iron post and rang in. On down through the Tenderloin district the shops along the street shouted their wares. Jewels, imitation and real, glittered alluringly. Bmali, murky lights loomed here and there in dingy windows. Bhick-sh uttered doors sent forth a recking odor of Btalo beer and cheap whiskey, intermingling with the aroma of the hot-do* stands and their great piles of chopped onions nnd peppers.
