for a dime and get turned down,"
mused John. "That poor fellow didn't
know how to put up a plausible story.
Tlsn't so easy, mebby. Like as not I
couldn't do any better."
These thoughts led to still more
thoughts and the first thins John knew
he had determined to flail out no
could tell a hard luck story that would
get the money.
Slowly and with measured stride, he
strolled on down Superior avenue. Ha
had decided to watch and prey, and
keep on watching until he sighted his
prey.
By and by, a well-dressed man, va
lise In hand, whom John felt sure was
a total stranger to him. came walking
briskly along.
John Thompson stopped him. "You
doubtless have Just finished a hotel
dinner," began John. "I am nungrj.
Were you ever hungry?"
"I don't care to he cross examined,"
returned the stranger tartly.
John winced slightly. Could the
stranger know that he made his living
cross-examining people? But ho took
hold of the man's lapel and renewed
his line of talk. "I've got to have
a piece of money, I loll you," he said
u-iiii vphomence. "I'm hungry. You
wouldn't stop to argue If you'd evcrj
been real hungry. Possibly you'vo
been reared In the lap of luxury and
don't realize how gray the sky line
looks when you haven't even the price j
of a sandwich In your pocket." i
"You seem like an Intelligent tel
le w," remarked John's victim, sizing
him up, curiously. "You shouldn't
have to go hungry. There Is work for
all In this world."
"You are complimentary ." returned
John, "hut It does not alleviate my;
craving for food. My stomach has
been almost entirely depleted for 24 1
hour3. Have you no sympathy? Is I
there no feeling of humanity In your'
soul?"
"Your clothes ere good tallor-mado

'You're evading the l3:;uo." sighed j
John, sadly; "the fact remains that I;
am hungry, almost to tho point of j
starvation, if you are unwinins to am

John was smiling whimsically as he;
replaced the quarter In the hand of hlsj
