ParsdlM Of Th Penny
"Where do they work, huh?" said
the delicatessen man. He brooded
(or a space, then seemed to get a
thought. "You wait a minute, fel
la." '
H. turned and took a much
thumbed card from the top of the
cash register behind the counter. .
"Tills her, card," be declared,
"say when Horace and Morris
works. They says If anybody asts
for 'em when they ain't here, I
should give 'em this."
Bill took th, card. Scrawled In
pencil on it was th, legend:
HORACE MORRIS EAST
DIPTENDERPER'S PENNY
---- ARCADE -, ..
EAST 4SND STREET -.' !
"Hal" said B1U. "Theatrical peo
ple, h?"
The delicatessen man grinned at
him. Ever since learning of Wil
liam's mission the delicatessen man
had comported himself after the
manner of one who possesses su
perior knowledge. His present grin
had a faintly patronizing quality
about It Bill, having noted the
information on the card, handed It
back.
. . "Well," h, said, "so long. Thanks
my much."
Then, enchanted at leaving the
delicatessen man and his sinister
leer, he went out and hailed a
taxi.
Dlffenderfer's Penny Arcade of
fers Its patrons a wide variety of
amusements at, as the name Implies,
small cost. Wherefore William
Steele, Jostling his way through the
crowded lobby, found himself mlng
I ling freely with the hoi polloi. But
j h, pushed on doggedly and entered
th, tawdry tobacco-reeking estab
lishment. It Is supposed that, had William
been apprised earlier of the sartorial
influences prevailing In this para
dise of the penny, he would hav, ac
complished Its Invasion in more
suitable habiliments. As It was, he
was attired in a perfectly-cut linen
suit, brown tie cool with white polka
dots and a Panama hat with a rac
ily-colored band. To say that he was
distinctive her, would be to under'
state grossly. He was, as the poem
his It, last, loneliest, loveliest, ex
qulslte, apart. And, being such, he
excited comment, much of It un
favorable. But though there was a suspicion
of veiled animosity in the air, no
one seemed to care to manifest his
disapproval of William in a bust'
nessllke way. In th, days of his
collegiate magnificence Mr. Steele
had been the mainstay of the Stan
" ford eleven's attack. Upon on, oc
casion, after a particularly neat
bit of attacking, he had been al
luded to by a phrase-sllnglng news
paper scribe as the "Torrid Terror
of th. Rose Bowl." Now, despite his
life of ease and luxury, he still
sported shoulders as befit a Torrid
Terror of the Rose Bowl. And
tough egg of the first part respects
such shoulders in tough egg of the
second part, even though tough ,gg
of th second part be camouflaged
by a whit, linen suit. As a conse
quence, the progress of William
through Dlffenderfer's Penny Ar
cade was Impeded physically by
none.
Th, man In charge of the shoot
ing gallery, however, accosted him
hospitably. He was an attractive
personality with a nose like a
shark-hook.
"Try yer luck wld da rifles, bud
dy" he suggested.
William waved him aside. But
th, shooting ftllery magnate didnt
stay aside.
"Aw, com, on." he wheedled.
"Business Is bad."
' "Sorry," William said
The shooting gallery man ap
peared to be a disci pis of Jo, Pen-ner.
v & I
JL1L
"Doncha wanna shoot a duck?"
he Inquired, almost reprovingly.
William said that no, he did not
want to shoot a duck. He was on
the point of plunging deeper Into
the Jungle of Dlffenderfer's when
it occurred to him that the shoot
ing gallery man might be of serv
ice. He paused, therefore, and
drew SO cent from bis pocket.
"Listen," he said, I don't want
to shoot. But here's a half a buck
It's yours If you'll tax, me to the
East brothers. I'm told they work
here."
Don' know 'em,- he said at last,
eyeing the 60 cents womanly.
'Hell.- Bill said.
'Sure they wolk here?" asked the
shooting gallery man.
"A fellow said they did," replied
Bill. "Horace and Morris East."
Th, sinister countenance of the
shooting gallery man cleared. He
reached Jk grimy paw for th SO
cents.
Well now why didn' ya say ya
was lookta' fer Horace and Morris
in de foist place?" he said aggrive-
edly. "Sure, I know dem guys.
C'mon. I'll taks ya." '
"Where?" said Bill mystified.
Phantasmagoria
The shooting gallery man pointed
to a platform in the rear of Dlffen.
derfer's. ' William, following his
finger, started.
Upon the platform was th odd
est collection of humanity that be
had ever seen. At first glance it
seemed a confused phantasmagoria
such as might appear to a mind re
duced by a couple of doeen chant'
pagne cocktails. It finally resolved
itself, however, Into a lady of Him
alayan proportions; another lady
whose countenance, hands, arms
and shoulders were undeniably
lilac-colored; a gentleman who
either was, or cleverly contrived to
live the Impression of being a axeie
ton sitting on a straight-backed
chair; an orangutan; a lean
cadaverous Individual with side
whiskers who was, conservatively
sneaking:. 10 feet tall: a girl of de.
butant age wreathed In snakes;
what appeared to be a man with
two heads and two bodies; and a
family of midget. Oazlng upon
this likely looking assemblage wu.
11am Jaw dropped and he permlt-
t1 himself the luxury 01 a gasp.
But had he been accustomed to
life backstage at Dtffenderferl, he
would have eschewed such ruoe
ness. For then he would hav, known
the facts. The lady who must have
required the service of a derrick In
order to get out of bed was simply
Mm. Oiusle Zilch, alias Madame AO-
dull ah. The Pattest Woman In The
World, weight MO lbs. The lilac-colored
siren would have been to him
lust Bertie Walsh, known proles-
slonally as The Light Lavender
Lodv Prom The Limpopo. Trie gnoui'
Ish Individual vacationing apparent
ly from the potter's field was none
other than Mr. Jepthason, Th Ab
solutely and Positively Only Living
Skeleton. The orangutan was
not an orangutan at all but
mmlv. In nrlvate life, a Mr. Moss,
th father of five children, none of
whom exhibited any of th, more
sinister simian proclivities. Mr.
Moss, during his working hours, was
enticingly billed as The Missing
Link. Further, William would have
known that the side-whlsMraa mat.
vldual, besides being The Tallest
Man on Earth, was a unerer rrom
chranle dvsTXDSla: that the repiue
wrapped debutant answered to the
name of Pearl and the wrapping was
lust her favorite python, Anastasta:
and th gentleman with two heads
and two bodies was not a gentleman
but two gentlemen, Messrs, Horace
and Morris East or seventn avenue
that the midget were gentle, Ood
fearing people despite a wide cxper
lence of circuses, sideshows nd
vaudeville. But William, a Philistine.
knew not the things. He couia
only gap at th assortment, con
vinced, as Hamlet was Dsiora nun.
that something In the nature of de
cay was going on In Denmark.
"Coon," said th shooting gal
Carl Anderson
lery man, nudging his elbow. "Dey
won't bite, ya. Dere nuttln' but
freaks."
'You're telling me?" said Wll
Ham. He suffered himself to be
propelled forward.
During his collaboration with
the shooting gallery man' a dis
cussion had been In progress on
the raised platform. The subject
of this discussion was William. At
the moment of his entry Into Dlf
fenderfer's he had been spotted
by the freaks, as a brilliant butter
fly who chooses to cast In his lot
with a regiment of black beetles
must expect to be spotted by all
and sundry. And a curiosity con
cerning his identity had been estab
lished at once.
"I believe," she said to th Abso
lutely and Positively Only Living
Skeleton, "that the gentleman who
just came In Is probably James J.
Walker, a former mayor of New
York' City. If yox read the papers
Mr. Jepthason, you will know that
Mr. Walker has returned to Amer
lea."
