Tt had been a utrsnge year for Jim
(Villus. He did not care to loot luck
over the past twelve months. It wa?
enough for him that d urine the period
be had dropped from his pinnacle of
bonest labor to be the pitiful stare of
a habit A red lamp plowed down at
the corner Hitman's bakery? at the
entrance to the alley that mil aronnd
to the back door. As Jim wctit to

were closing up. doors swung open
and discharged Quarrelsome groups of
men. who scattered up and down the
pavement, some of them ranking the
midnight hideous with their raucous
voices.
Jim Collins passed them and went on

who were waiting for the nightly dole
of bread which Hans Vhlman gave to
his poorer neighbors after the exam
pie of a greater philanthropist farther
uptown.
Down at the entrance, near the red
light. Jim Collins slowly followed the 1
shortening line. He was impatient of
the delay, for he was anxious to re

a maple tree formed an excellent
shelter In a moderate rain. If be was
delayed much longer the much to be
desired bench would l>e pre empted by
sotue other outcast of the night.
In front of him a woman's form was
vRguely outlined. A shawl was thrown

Kitty brought * muttered oath to his
I'ps. It was not pleasant to recollect i
that drink had not only cost hint a

from Kitty I -co into a maelstrom of
dissipation. The* had Iwn engaged,
and he had plven her a ring with a

The woman moved ahead and be fol

and she stretched out a thin, pallid
hand for the coveted loaf of bread (in

stone.
When Jim Collins had received his
loaf he turned and hastened after the

laid his band on her arm
"Kitty!" he said peremptorily.
She turned a frightened face to bis,
a face once pretty, now worn by pri
vation into thin, sharp lines.
"Jim? Jim Collins, what do you
want?" She drew away from him
and huddled the bread under her
shawl.
"?What's the matter? What are you

"I might ask you that question? if I

There was a lone silence as they

Jim apoke pruffly
"If there's any names you winter
call me- or any menn thlnr* you want

can say 'em now yon won't have no

She uttered a little cry of alarm, j

said wistfully.
"I'm pi'inu to have a hie bird try at

she evaded.
"Hut this one yon mipht think was

"I guess yon won't ask anythlnp I

with a return of her old assurance.

There wns a little silence before

Kilty sought for a i l<r word to
frame the unpleasant truth.
"When I was Jn?t plain drunk." fin
