Well, poor old Buffslo went on the bum some years later and waa hardly more than a bar fly around Broadway. He was one of the eights fur the boys who get out occasionally to hit the high spots. He was pointed out aa one of the greatest of the old lighters and Costello waa all that. One night Costollo was atandlng out- aide of a Broadway cafe when a fellow came along: who remembered hla face. The boob wanted aomeone to drink with and ahook 'the hand of the old warrior. They went Inside, ordered a few tubs of auds and the boou started: "So you're Buffalo Costello, eh?" he piped. "Say. my father told me about you. He said the greatest fight he ever saw waa the one between you and Alec Oreggalna down at Coney Island. I'll bet he's told the story of that fight fifty times to different people. I feel aa though I saw It mytelf. And you're tho same Costello, eh? Oee whls! I wish father was here now." Costello, who was as shy of gelt aa a hen la of wisdom teeth, saw a chance to put the bee on tho boob for some dough, and aald softly: "Say, could you spare me a buck, old pal?" The boob looked at Costello and arked, "How much la a buck?" The latter turned hla head to aee who might be listening, eyed the joint up and down, and whispered, "Two dollars.'' He got It.
