CHEERINS'GREETINGS TO THE LAST COMER
rt Crowe rre Pnlnm with Willie
Taacott, Slp CocUtnll with Mnu
Who Struck IHUr l'itterou
and Mftke Himself at Home.
"At last," said Pat Crowe, as his boat
grounded on the desert Island far off in
the southern Pacific, relates the Chicago
Tribune, "at last I have reached an un
charted island not known to men and far
from the track of ocean vessels. Here I
shall be safe from the police force and can
spend the rest of my days In delightful ob
scurity, Just as 'though I was an ox-vlce
president of tho United States."
But as tho kidnaper of the small Cudahy
boy walked up from tho beach he suddenly
met with a party of men.
"What are you," demanded Mr. Crowe,
"plain clothes men or park police I"
"Wo are the cltlicns of Disappearance
Island," said the foremost of the strangers.
"I do not think I understand," said Mr.
Crowe.
"I will explain," replied the spokesman.
"First of all, however, why have you disap
peared, who ara you, and what have you
doner
"I am Tat Crowo of Omaha," said the
now arrival. "I stole the Cudahy boy and
mado his Pa come down with $25,000 to re
cover hlra. The detectives kept on my trail
and I had to whack up with them so often
that I saw my fortune would soon bo dissi
pated, and I would finally fall Into the
clutches of the law did I not disappear.
Bo I sailed from San Francisco on a tramp
steamer, and when somewhere out In the
Bouth Pacific I cut loose the captain's gig
one night. I filled It with provisions be
fore band, and after I had drifted away
from the ship I floated qulto nicely for si
days, until the waves kindly brought me
cshoro on this island."
"Ah, glad to meet you, Mr. Crowe," said
the spokesman of .tho wolcomlng party.
"Permit mo to Introduce myself and ray
comrades. I am William Tascott of Chi
urn fnr n-hfim thrt nollrn of the entire
United States have been hunting for twclvo
years. They say I made way with a mil
lionaire there, and, now that I think of It.
1 believe I did. Somo people think that I
am dead, while others beltovo that I was
only a beautiful myth. Vet, here I live
with my dear friends, hanny and peaceably
cn Disappearance Island."

"Very pleased to meet you, Indeed, Mr.
Tascott," said Mr, Crowe.
"This gentleman," went on Mr. Tascott,
with a wave of his hand to a Bad looking in
dividual who stood on his right, "Is tho
man who struck Hilly Patterson."
"Qlad to meet you, sir," said Mr. Crowe,
bowing politely.
"This gentleman," resumed Mr. Tascott,
with a wave of his hand to another of his
party, "Is the man who stole Charley
ltoas."
Mr. Crowe bowed again.

Tascott, "you will find a handsome monu
ment to that grand old man who long, long
ago first came to this island, and who was
the pioneer of that' noblo band of much
wanted citizens who livo hero today in
peace and happiness."
"And who was he, pray?" asked Mr.
Crowe.
Mr. Tascott and all of his party reverently
removed their hats whllo they answered
In one voice: "Ho who killed Cock Robin."
"How interesting," said Mr. Crowe. "I
know I shall like it here."
"You may well say so, Mr. Crowe," an
swered Mr. Tascott. "And on our part wo
aro .only too glad to havo you become
one of our number. So tho pollco are still
looking for you. Ha, ha. ha. Well, let us
take you to tho dwelling which you will
occupy. Here, you man that hit Billy Pat

has left of hs $25,000."
Mr. Crowe was shown to a palm tree hut.

"How beautiful," said Mr. Crone loftly.
Long they sat there In silence listening
to tho sobbing murmurs of the waves on
the beach. Then Tascott arose and said:
"Well, I must be going. My wife will
be anxious about me."
"Your wife?" asked Mr. Crowe in as

"O, yes," replied Tascott. "My marrlago

and we wero married by a clerical gentle
man who was shipwrecked at tho same time.
Perhaps you have seen his name In news
papers In former years In tho United States,
His name was Vox Popull, alios Anxious
Parent, alias Many Voters, alias Oqe Who
Was There. He is the same man, by the
way, who was called "The Man In the Gal
lery,' and who started tho boom for the
nomination of James A. Garfield for presi
dent by shrieking out from his seat In the
gallery when Garfield asked, 'Now, gentle
men, whom will you have for president?'
James A. Garfield.
"Ho lived here happily for years. But
now bo is dead and Is burled In tho local
cemetery that I have before referred to.
He left somo sons In the United States to
perpetuate his many names, but none of
them has tho greatness of his parent. Well,
good night, Mr. Crowe. Come over to my
happy home and see us. Wo are Just mov
ing Into a new house and are not fixed up
yet. We are going to movo over a load of
Horrors of
Summer and tho torment of unendurable
beat have both come to the dwellers In the
tenements of Now York City.
Many bestow pity upon those whom for
tune obliges to face tho rigors of winter in
tha slums, relates the Brooklyn Eagle, but
tho hardships of cold aro as nothing to
the horrors of midsummer beat. It Is al
ways possible to get warm. It is frequently
Impossible to become cool, and, for tho
tenement dwellers at least, It is absolutely
hopeless to try to attain to olther con
tinued coolness or to that amount of comfort
which will permit sleep.
Ask one of those who spend their lives
in the crowded cast side streets of New
York which Is the harder to bear, summer
of winter. However abject may be the
povorty of the person questioned the In
variable response will be that the winter
is preferred to tho summer. Crowding in
cold weather may produce smallpox as well
as warmth, but even that alternative Is
preferred to tbo season which makes of
each tcnoment a bouse of torment, of every
fetid room a chamber of sleepless horror.
Kipling, writing of the City of Calcutta
during the time of beat, called it "The
City of Dreadful Night." He drew the
horrors of night In that city as he alone
can, but, even the sufferings of those In
the midst of the heat of Calcutta are not
so great as those of the lost legion who
live exist In the double-decker tenements
of Greater New York.
Is It to be wondered at that the man who
has spent his day under thoso conditions is
unablo to support the sufferings that heat,
crowded quarters and insufficient ventila
tion force upon him at night? Screens are
scarco and mosquitoes are many on tho
east side. In tho open air there is no pro
tection from the insect plague, but It it
baa to bo ondured tho tenement people
prefer to suffer under the sky rather than
under the root. What the open house tops
of India are to the people of Hindustan the
balconies of, the Iron fire escapes are to
those who live on the east side. The family
whoso rooms look out on tho fire escape
Is envied as higher uptown flat dwellers
may envy the family that dwells In the
house with the big verandas. The fire
escape counts as an extra room, even lu
the rent. In tho time of heat It is the
bedroom of tho tenement aristocracy. None

"Clews?" asked Mr. Crowe.
"Yes, clews. You know that In every
case of bank robbery, murder, kidnaping,
or whatnot tho police havo great troublo
looking for important clews which they tall
to find. Do you know why? Because wo

Unless one's heart Is hard it is not good
to walk through the tenement streets In
the time of heat. Tho sight of so much
unobstruslvo wretchedness troubles the
soul; the mind becomes filled with vague
longings to givo comfort to these suffering
ones with Impotent wrath against the
someone or something supposed to bo re
sponsible for It all and with helpless rec
ognition of its present incurability. It will
be long before entire contentment and
cheerfulness return to the one who, pos
sessing a child of his own, passes through
these bricked-ln canyons of sweltering heat
and suffering at night.
At the edge of tho street, Just where the
moonlight Is cut by tho roof line, there
stands a rickety flshcart. Even amid the pre
vailing reek Its presence can be recognized
unseen. Even a fish-loving cat would and
does find tbo cart a little too strong, for
one turns away from it as the photographer
approaches. There Is something allvo In
the cart, though. What is it? Tho police
man who has followed shows you. He
pushes tbo evil smelling cart a foot or so
farther and tho clean white light floods the
face of a little child asleep. There are two
of them there, and some kindly hand has
mitigated the flshcart's reek with a great
armful of sweet hay In which tho little
ones are nestled.
There are worse cots tonight than the
flshcart for tired little limbs. Here is a
row of little oncB asleep under the forbid
ding Iron railings of one of tho city's parks.
There Is cool green turf inside, but the Iron
gates are locked at dusk, for It Is not per
mitted that the children of the city shall
sleep upon tho turf of the city. Its stones
must suffice. See how their feet aro drawn

Justly celebrated Mr. Patterson. "Let us
apprehend him." The members of the
colony swarmed down on Mr, Crowe's
house.
"You have stolen the man who kidnaped
Charley Ross," excitedly exclaimed Mr.
Tascott. "Release him at once or we
will give you away to the police."
"Bah," said Mr. Crowe, coolly. "Run

"Oboy and all will be well. Disobey and

While Mr. Crowe had been talking the
man who had struck Billy Patterson com

try to find rest. In the llttlo back yard of
this saloon is the bedroom of a workman.
His bedstead is tbo half of the broken door
of a shed. One end of It rests upon a garb
age barrel so full that an Old sack has been
tied over the top to enable It to bo moved.
The outer end is supported by a packing
case half full of aehes and refuse. His
bedclothlng consists of the clothes bo
wears at bis work. His pillow Is his shoes.
It Is not wlso to place one's shoes by the
side of a tenement bed If one wishes to
wear them again.
Here is a moro pretentious bed chamber,
for, though Its front wall Is the public
sidewalk, it has almost an air of privacy.
On each side of the front of a little saloon
there extends an Iron railing. This makes
a sort of miniature front yard. It Is true
that one-half of the space Is occupied by
the dilapidated doors of the cellar and that
the other l.alf consists of the broken flag
ging before the doorstep, but in this llttlo
enclosure a family sleeps as securely as
though locked In a house.
On one side, upon the broken flagging,
with only a quilt between them and tho
stones, He the father and mother. Close by,
bedded upon the splintered cellar door,
rest the Bon and his young wife. All aro
sleeping in their clothes. The women wear
wrappers as a slight concession toward
night clothing, but the men are dressed as
they would be in daylight. The son has
kicked off his shoes, but he keeps on his
socks.
The palm for a comfortless couch Is
taken by that which two well grown men
have selected. It Is a garbage box In front
of a saloon. The box Is little more than a
yard long and the head of tho younger man
hangs over tho edge In a way that would
cause nightmare and a week's stiff neck to

struck Billy Patterson and now I'm going
to strike somebody else. Look out for the
man that hit Billy Patterson."
The man that hit Billy Patterson struck
out with both fists and both Tascott and
the man that killed Morgan rolled over on
the ground. The man that hit Billy Patter
son then vaulted over tho railing of the
veranda and landed on Mr. Crowe's eyes
and blacked them finely. Suddenly there
was a yell behind them, and they saw Tas
cott come flying at them firing a revolver.
"Hurrah!" ho shouted. "At last I am
really happy. I've been good too long. I've
been wanting to kill somebody else for ten
years. At last I am myself tho same old
Tascott again.
Ho shot two bullets through Mr. Crowe's
left car and plugged him twlco In tho leg.
Mr. Crowe leaped over tho rail of tho
veranda and fled around the houee. But
with a scream tho man who killed Morgan
was after him, waving a shining ax.
"I'm myself again, I'm mysolf again!"
yelled tbo man who had killed Morgan.
"All theBo years I've been rusting and for
getting that I am tho gent that slew Mr.
Morgan. But I'm the same feller. And I'm
going to Morganlzo somebody else, and he
comes from Omaha."
Hnllliifir a Poet.
Just at that moment a tall figure ap
peared In tho midst of the excited group.
Apparently it had risen from tho ground.
It wore a leather helmet and a belt about
Its waist, In which was carried a revolver
and a policeman's club. On its manly
bosom was pinned n petrified starfish.
"Who are you?" demanded Tascott, In a
strained voice.
"I am Dan' Coughlln," said tho new
comer. "You may have heard of mo In
connection with a late physician, whoee de
mise excited some Interest In Chicago. I
havo spent many weary hours In looking
for most of you gents in ray official capacity
as a member of the Chicago police force,
and now that I have you all hero In a bunch
I think I will raako a fow arrests and corral
a couplo of millions In rewards."
"Did you come hero to look for us, Dan
iel?" asked Mr. Tascott.
"Not exactly," replied tbo roan who is
equally celebrated as a Cronin suspect, an
Indicted Jury briber and a South Clark
street drink mixer. "The fact is I was
only Joking when I mado tbo bluff. 1 came
here for my health, like the rest of you
boys and I think I shall open up a first
class thirst parlor as soon as I leant a
little more about the Island."
"By tho way," went on Tascott, "I got
a wireless the other day that we might ex
pect a distinguished addition to our little
colony."
"Who was that?" Coughlln inquired
ploasantly.
"I mention no names," said tho man who
Is supposed to havo shot Araoa J. Sncll,
"but when ho arrives wo will all bo fixed.
His initials spell the past tense of tho
verb to be, and ho'll certainly be chojon
official historian of our Island."
A Dnnli thnt Failed.
Whllo this conversation was In progress
Mr. Crowe was stopped In his headlong
flight. Presently ho was noticed by Mr.
Coughlln, who called attention to him.
"Introduce mo to your friend," ho said to
Tascott.
"Why, don't you know," said Tascott.
"That's Omaha 'Pat' and there's $25,000
reward for his arrest."
At that all of Coughlln's dormant pro
fessional Instinct rose' afresh. He made a
mad rush for tho much wanted, man. But

Crowe was too quick for him.
"DaD," he said, "I'll go without a fight
If you'll split the rewnrd and then agree to
fix tho Jury."
But tho detective; btcrnly refused. Ho
sprang forward again and nt the samo mo

Mr. Crowo reached a tree and shinned up
It Just In timo to cscapo from his thrco
pursuers. After vainly trying to get their
prey they sat down to rest. Finally Mr.
lascott said: "Mr. Crowe, don't
think that you started something

"I do," said Mr. Crowe, from tho
top.
