Some of them moved away hurriedly. But tbe Bum's movement proved not menacing. He merely shook blmaelf, llatened moment glared at the band organ In no pleaaant mood and shuffled way in the direction of Chatham square. - 'The burdy gurdy, If with mall clous intent moved also and right at bla heels broke Into something sturdy from "William Tell." The Bum now seemed roused to an ger. He turned savagely and was on the point of engaging In pedal combat with the Instrument when, as If to call off hostilities, It atruck Into "Yankee Poodle." The Bum, deslatlng from his lntentlont of maltreatment fled for bla favorite gin shop, where bo sank Into tbe farthest corner.

There was buslnesa of Importance that morning for tbe banking bouse of HIgginaon, Matthews & Pollock, and wben Mr. Hlgglnson'a arrival was an nounced partners and clerks harried to counsel with blm, but Mr. HIggin aon waved tbem off. He passed on through the long hallway straight to bis private offices. He pushed tbe Bum In gently ahead of blm, closed the door and locked It Jim ricrson, where In the devil have you been all these yeawr then adding, In a voice not devoid of emotion, "I've -I've actually prayed that you'd come back."

He arose; be straightened bis big, gaunt self; be car red bla bead high; he walked to tbe door of tbe gta abop with a firm atep, panned out and down the street And a new light shone pitifully from bis deeply sunken dark eyea. On be went traveling a little more than a mlle-tbe mile that was destined to prove tho most momentous of bis life. , He hesitated not until be caught a glimpse through tbo canyon-like street of bla objective point Then be felt a bit uncertain. Scarcely knowing what he was doing aud perhaps from a long establlHhod habit of leaning against things for sup port, he renched out a band and rested it for a moment agnlnxt that mountain of strength, the aubtrensury. New en ergy seemed to be imparted to him by TBI BUM OLAEBD AT THB HAND OBOAN. the act for be stepped boldly across Wall street and entered, a great granite building. His personal valuation was material ly depreciated wben be was summarily ejected not two minutes later by a functionary in servile blue and many brass buttons. , "Beggars not allowed," he snarled, pointing to a framed sign banging in the corridor. , : i But the Bum had a mission to per- "I can't stay, Bill. You're too busy man to be bothered with" "Bit right down there," said Hlggln- son, forcing the Bum back In a quiet, masterful wy. Then, with a quaver of tenderness In bla voice, "Jim, I know what brought yon back, and the soon er you know tbe better." The Bum' heart camo dangerously near stopping. It was, then, aa be fear ed. Would Billy say "married" or-or -"deadr Ho wouldn't wait to bear. Again be roe for flight Hlgghwon placed kindly restraining bands upon him. , . "Beatrice ' Cuyler-Is-not married. She'a still In love with you," said HIg ginaon, looking at the Bunt steadily, Then he set bis captive free, and the Bum walked to a window, where he stood looking out for a long time, but he waa not atndylng the beauties or monstrosities of neighboring skyscrap ers. He wa dwelling on what seemed to him, as nearly as he could figure things out, possible Impossibilities. And there waa a warm, happy feeling with In him, the like of which he had long since relinquished. He whistled "Yan kee Doodle" softly, and Hlggtnson won dered as he slipped into an adjoining room beyond Ihe bearing of the Bum. -uring a complete - outnt or my clothes," be telephoned in a low voice; "yes, everytbihg-hat necktie, shoes, tho whole business., WhatT. No, noth ing happened to me. I Just want them for Welt bring them along, and right away. And, say, Thomas, don't mention this to Mrs. Hlgginson." The Bum turned as Hlgginson re entered the room. 1 "Tell me about the others," be Bald. For a long time Hlgginson talked. Things of vital Interest had transpired since that mad, wild day of tho Bum's disappearance. ; His father had died leaving blm small fortune if he were ever found. His mother still lived. His Bister LaU. ra, as the Bum had already surmised, had married Hlgginson, and It was only year since the marriage bad occurred. Hlgginson and Laura were living In the old home with the Bum's mother. Every known means bad been em ployed and large sums of money spent In the search' for' the Bum, and year after year the family bad remained in town late Into the heat of the summer and had returned early ia autumn, hop ing against hope that he might come nd there would be some one to wel come him. Beatrice Cuyler cared little for social matters these days. She was going a good deal Into the poor parts of the city trying to lessen the pangs of her own sorrowing heart by helping to alle viate the woes of others. But Laura knew-and Laura hesitat ed not a moment to Impart her knowl edge to the sympathetic ears of Birt- form, regardless of unfeeling bouncers, that Beatrice Cuyler would go down to He went away for awhile, came back and stood gazing wearily at the debo nair beings swinging In and out of the big , building unrestrained, while they tn turn looked contemntuouslv down upon blm from the superior heights of their good clothes. i Tho Bum seemed not perturbed by their superiority. Indeed, he was her grave unmarried unless Jim re lumed. '- , . ' "Now, Jim Pierson," suddenly broke aut Hlgglnson-r"now, I've something else to tell you. Blamed if I don't half believe you're the biggest fool ever was." . . "I admit It." sadly replied the Bum, wriggling uncomfortably. . "bh is still rs lovi with too." the intention of returning to your mis erable existence? Why, we've grieved for you as for one dead, and do you imagine t but 'I'm going to let yon go? Don t you care any more for us than thatr "I must go," stubbornly Insisted the Bum. "By heavens, you shall never leave thla room except to come home to us!" Hlgginson was a man of strong na ture. He was thoroughly aroused and was speaking forcefully, He could not allow the Bum to return to his mlnery, Higglnsons forcefulness awoke tbe spirit of the man within" the Bum. "Do you suppose for one moment bui Hlgginson, tnat I look at me would face my mother, your wife nd her? Never! Let me go!" Hlgginson broke into a torrent of Imploratlona. Long, earnestly, be plead ed. Tbe Bum held out tenaciously, Then, little by little, he commenced to give way until be found himself as powerlesB to resist the strong love of the Insistent man as he had been to stay the desire that turned his. toot- steps in the direction of Wall street, Hlgginson saw the Bum was weak ening and in desperation made bis last attack. "Jim" his voice was heart reaching in ita tenderness "you couldn't have the heart to forsake us again Just when we're when we're expecting little chap we've already named Jim?" There was a long silence. The dogged look in the Bum' eyea Blowly disappeared. They became over cast with moisture. He reached hand to Hlgginson, whlcb Hlgginson did not now Ignore. "I'll go home with you," he said. The offices of Hlgginson, Matthews & Pollock were located in one of those modern structures that afford tenants every convenience. A luxurious bath room was one of the attachments, and it was here that the first move was made toward tbe outward transforms tlon of the Bum. Merely a bath aud clean linen have materially assisted many a bum on his way toward refor mation. And Hlgglnson's valet was a host within himself In the matter of grooming. ? i ; James Harvey Pierson surveyed hlnv self in the long mirror and for tbe first time in the five yeara of his self exile smiled happily Into his own eyes, not bo much in satisfaction with his im proved appearance as with newly awakened hope and the anticipation of 'going home and to those who wore longing to greet him. He forgot for the moment that deso late day when, wltb fortune Irretrieva bly swept away, he had voluntarily chosen complete isolation., For tho mo ment also the bitter years that fol lowed faded from his memory. "By Jingo!" exclaimed tbe delighted Hlgginson as rterson emerged to view. "Man alive, you look as well as any body.
