Careworn Knight of the
Road Seeks His Supper.
At the door of this place was no.
tlced a queer specimen of humanity ,
who had shuffied In from somewhere
out of the blncl , night. Ho stopped In
front of the place and read the at.
tractive offer that was portrayed on
the bannor. As the stroller conclud.
ed reading he thrust his right hand
Into a pocket of his [ rayml trousers.
Of 'ears ho had porhas attained 40 ,
and the ! lnger of tlmo had not dealt
gently wIth him , for his face was
seamed wIth wrlnlclos and ho looked
careworn. His clothing was tattered
and his linen-if a grim ) " shirt that
had not seen a laundr ) " In somo'woels
mIght bo so dlgnlflecl-had seen long
usage ; his straw hat had great .rents
In the crgwn , through which protrude
ed an occasional lock of rusty , un.
lcempt hall' ; his coat was shiny and
WOI'll at the cuffs and elbows ; the ot.
tomu or his trouser leg . too , were
badly [ ra'od and "scutred" out by the
frequent contact of his anlt1os , and
through holes In a pall' of mlsmated
shoes could be seen more than a sus. !
plclon o [ bare toes , His beard was
unkempt and his hands and face were
guiltless of any recent acquaintance
with soap and water.
After a moment's meditation the
hobo drew his hand from his poclmt ,
deposited Its contents Into his loft
hand and then began a systematic
search of his other 1IoclOts. The result -
sult was 23 cents , a lead medal , part
of a paclmge of clsarettes and a sus.
pender lJuckle. He slowly counted bls
cash assets and returned the other
articles to bls poclOts. His resources
were more tItan sufficient to pay for
the meal which he plainly had In can.

though I don't look now as though I
had over been an'thlng but a tramp. "
Ho was evidently telling the truth ,
and his audlenco wanted to hear more
of his adventures. The "tourist" read.
Ily accoptcd an Invitation to join In a
20 cent meal , to which he did ample
justice. 'rho listener , thlnllng he
would talm no chances , suggested that
ho would talm some eggs.
"I wouldn't advlso you to do It-
hero , " said the hobo. "An egg Is 111'0
a woman's character. It must lJo
'atrlctly' good , or It Isn't any good at
all. 'I'hese restaurants do not supply
their Ilatrons with the best eggs , but
bur from the cold storage warehouses ,
where they can buy cheap. It Is a
healthy hen that can lar good eggs
In August. "
"You scorn well posted on the res.

er. "Aro there many that glvo a

"Yes. I may oar that the majorIty
of them do. In fact , they will avCl"
ago very well with most largo cities.
There are a numher of popular priced
restaurants over the river that servo
better food , but they are In locations
where they can depend upon a largo
trade.
"Tho genus hobo Is a large factol'
In the patronage of a majority of the
all.nlght places , The tramp Is too
lazy to oven oat In the daytime , and
what ho does oat he usually bogs. In
the morning he seldom has a cent.
He gets a breakfast at some baclt
door , maybe , and then he 'rests' all
dar. At night ho 'cadgers , ' 01' begs ,
from men who appear to be well fed
and good natured , and It la IIerhl111s
far Into the night berore he has 'tho
prlco' for a meal. It , atter ho has had
all he wants to drink , ho has enough
, money left , he spends It for a sub.
stantlal meal. But It Is usually drlnl ,
firat , and then eat , for a man who
has the prlco of a dl'lnk can always
got enough free lunch to last him.
