"Keep moving you off the block I" A mounted man had ridden rid-den to the curbing and was waving a gloved hand at the throng there. "Off the block!" Joe Barry went on. At the end of the block he passed more mounted men; a car rounded the corner before him, its siren scream ing, its tonneau loaded with policemen. police-men. Then a patrol went clanging by. Joe Barry walked on. Within his brain there dinned and shrieked the command to run. His nerves twitched with the desire. de-sire. He could all but hear th words: "Run run for G d's sake, run!" But the man only continued to walk, with the thousands of other free persons who cluttered the sidewalks, side-walks, he only continued to look about him with narrow, frightened eyes, he only licked at his lips and walked on. Far uptown, an hour later, wearied by repression, his legs aching from the exertion which had held them to a strolling stride, Joe halted as he passed a small crowd before a radio store. A voice was shouting at him from the throat of the loud-speaker. "Station VVNYC Police Alarms.

He unlocked it. he swung it wide and aartea tnrougn. then with the over-strength of ex citement, slammed it heavily behind him, and ran forth to the corridor, not looking back.

Joe Barry turned away; like an animal he had seen a cage door wide open before him, like an animal he had been afraid to risk what freedom held for him. Wilder grew the sounds from out side; a hundred voices 6houting now. There were more shots from the side of the mezzanine corridor, from the rotunda, from the stair way, where some one evidently stood at bay. "Look out!" It was one .voice above ail the rest "He's got a shot left ! You. op there on the mezza nine, pull down on him!" Then another voice sounded. "Close In on bim, down there In the rotunda." Then a lone shot came from the stairway, followed Immediately by the booming of a dozen guns. The man In the Oregon boot looked swiftly about him, toward the po licemen, guards and attaches In the rotunda, struggling with the street mob which now was flooding into the building. The big muscles of his right shoulder bunched. Joe, staring, saw him slowly pull back the door. , "AH right, kid!" he commanded. "Lam it!" Joe gasped. The door had been closed, yet now it was open; dazedly daz-edly he understood. That great hand had raised just In time to catch it and hold the hasp a fraction frac-tion of an Inch from Its receptacle. recep-tacle. Now, it stood open, beckoning "Lam It !" "But you?" "Me?" The prisoner grinned. "With this?" He eyed the steel boot on his right ankle. Suddenly he scowled. "Lam It, I said. Think you can wait all day!" His free arm went forth and caught Joe by the shoulder, whirling whirl-ing him through the door. "Keep your head !" he whispered. "Jam in with the crowd and Ket 'em ease you out!" Mincing, furtive, Joe reached the wrridor. Some one caught him by an arm. swinging him angrily about, and half throwing him against a crowd of others much the same aa he, milling forms being herded by excited men In uniform.

INSTINCTS which Joe Barry did not know he possessed now had oocimiPd control: his brain was a turmoil, his exterior calm. He wanted to run, he wanted to hurry to a railroad station and catch the first train out of town, but he only wandered along a side street, looking look-ing in a window here and there. At last h entered a turkish bath, and walking silently to the clerk's desk, pulled out the money which Hymle Fradke had given him. placing It in the tin deposit box which the clerk as silently extended extend-ed him. As an escaping animal seeks the camouflage of vegetation that will match Its protective Ionrtln so Joe Barry, by instinct, had gone to the one place and the one thing which, for a time, at least would traoAnm.

Now with the soil of Jail upon him and the odors of the cell block still In his nostrils, he had merely followed fol-lowed a natural Impulse at the sight of a sign. As for the clerk who handed him his key upon its rubber ring, he was Jusl another fellow with a hangover, bearded soiled, unkempt, seeking the purifying puri-fying qualities of heat and soap and water after the pollution of liquor. Joe snapped the rubber band about his wrist and turned first for the barber shop. All this had been done hazily; almost subconsciously. The condi tion continued until he stepped from the chair, after the extravagance extrava-gance of a haircut, a shave and a shampoo. A crumpled tabloid newspaper was on a chair; he sighted a picture on the first page, passed it over with a glance, then looked at it more sharply. A word above the picture had jerked him to attention: heavy, black lettering, letter-ing, followed by a bulky exclama tion : "ESCAPED !" There came to Joe the overpowering overpow-ering realization of this omnipotent thing known to him as the police. He had been free only a short time, but the news of It was already established es-tablished and old old enough for one of its carriers to be crumpled, discarded, even by barber shop loungers. Every one must know him now; he clicked his teeth with rapidly tightening jaws. His barber bar-ber had pressed against him. In a survey of the photograph. "Them guys are certainly getting free with their hardware." he said "First thing we know, they'll steal the city hall. Tough baby, ain't he?" Then the barber moved on. leav ing Joe Barry still staring at his own photograph. Must the man be blind that he could not have seen the resemblance? At last Joe Bar ry glanced into the mirror. The person he saw was not the man who glared at him from a rogue's gallery photograph on that tabloid page. There was the difference dif-ference between youth and age, in nocence and granite hardness. For the features of the man in the pic ture were hard with hate; he had looked what the picture portrayed him to be, a sullen gangster, hat ing his captors. The face that he looked upon in the mirror was only tired and fagged; a boy worn by grief, and looking piteously at the world, as If trying to understand The barber returned, and handed him his check, to be settled on his departure from the big bathhouse. Joe Barry went onward, to the ele vator, and to the locker floor, there to be assigned his bed. to divest himself of his clothing, and to give his orders to the floor boy. as he handed over his shoes for shining and his clothes for the tailors iron. The door opened to take him to the clatter and heat of the bath rooms deep in the basement No one noticed him; the sweating sweat-ing men in the steam room, the shouting figures which plunged about the pools. Joe Barry won dered what the rubbers would do ; j they who had time to study men under their energetic manipula tions. But they only asked him. after the soaping and showering was over, if he would have oil or alcohol. Finally he was back on his floor and the boy was preced Ing him to pull back the blankets on his bed. Dulled, relaxed for the first time In days, he felt the soft touch of a clean pillow. The smoothness and gentle warmth of blankets crept about his shoulders. When he awoke, it was with the ttnowl edge of new light. Joe Barry threw the covers from him. almost excitedly, and swung to the side of the bed. It was as if he had forgotten something of vast Importance His subconscious mind was telling him to hurry, as If there was a train to be made, or an all-engrossing nnnointment which could not wait. He dressed and washed with the air of a mnD whose minutes must be counted. He fidgeted at the counter . downstairs, and wrote seratehily on the account pad when the clerk passed It over for him to enumerate the amount of his tips. Then he reached eagerly for the trifle less than ten dollars which was due him and hurried from the building. Yet he did not know where to go. he did not truly real Ize why he must rush so there was something to be done some thing to be done halfway down the block, he halted, his lower Jaw sag ging That screaming thing with In his brain was calling to him to run to run. and because of that he onlv walked along, an unnoticed early morning worker moving across town toward-where. he did not know. Common sense held him rrom the railroad stations; the very fact that these were denied him sent him Into the subway and to a Jersey Jer-sey City ferry. And at Jersey he just walked moving where the crowd took him. At last, halting before the traffic, he saw suburb an bus move toward him; Invol untarily he raised his hand In s ig nal. The big vehicle halted the door opened, and he was within bound anew upon an aimless Jour ney.

He was moving, where he did not care; only that it be away from New xork. When the end of the line arrived, Joe Barry stepped forth and looked about him with more of confidence. He was away from New York and Its canyons of buttressed fear; here he could plan with something of calm. Early that afternoon he walked slowly past a bank In small Pennsylvania town and looked within. This was to be his trial. Cer tainly bankers would wateb the newspapers, and be alert for the ht of criminals. Immediately, Joe fought against the word; he was not a criminal, he told himself. him-self. But he laughed mirthlessly; It was a grimace and an expulsion of breath, little more, 'He was adjudged a criminal and he was be ing hunted as a criminal; a murderer. mur-derer. If that made It any clearer, and what difference did It make If In his own mind he knew himself to Ne Innocent? That was bad reasoning. It made him shaky. Then suddenly he whirled, walking swiftly, and turned In at the door of the hank. "Good afternoon," he said, and waited The banker looked up Oh, hello," he said, and smiled. "Back to make that other deposit?' Joe Barry cleared his throat "No I'm sorry. I've got to draw out some money." 'Certainly, certainly." Then the hanker passed over a saving ac count withdrawal slip and made remark about that most casual of things, the weather After a time Joe picked up the pen. His hand had stopped shaking.

He had money In his pocket- two hundred dollars. He could buy a ticket all the way across the con tinent with that and still have something to live on after he hnd made the Journey. His brain was filled with the thought of the clat ter of trains, the rush and roar of miles slipping away beneath him strange cities where one could lose oneself, ships at anchor, looking for eager, hardworking young men More and more glorious became the thought of the far away. Then It all was gone. For Joe Barry realized that he was standing still, half turned from the chipped sidewalk which led to the blackened railroad station Be fore him was a wooden fence, and upon that fence, the raln-waslied tattered posters of a departed clr cus. j ' Two days later, Joe Barry stood on the curbing of a down-town bust ness block In the quiet old town of Frederick. Md.. his own troubles for the moment forgotten. From far down the street, there came the faint music of a band, rising through the steady overtones of its bass drum. With this the crowd ed sidewalks forgot other things In an undulating bulge toward the curb, like the sweep of a wave. j The music of the band became louder. Joe Barry edged forward He had come here only after men tal travail. In a few minutes now the "grand, glittering and glorious pageant" of the Dayton Brothers circus would pass him. and he would see little of It. save one er son. And when that view had been gained, that one bit of worship si lentiy and surreptitiously given. Joe Barry would go on to far places, to ships that sailed the seas He felt he could not do otherwise He had fought it all out. that day he had seen the posters, down by the railroad station. Condition had changed since, flushed with the lure of a new life, Joe Barry had promised to come back to the Day ton Brothers circus Just as siion as he could be released "from his oth er Job." Now, he knew, there could he no release. His Job was a Job of a life or death ; either It clung to him like a hated scourge, to haunt him throughout the years, or It would send him to where men screamed and beat their rough shoes against the Moor late at night when one ot their number, his head shaved and his trouser legs slit to make way for the touch of clammy electrodes. went through a little door, never to come back. Joe Barry had been forced in the last few. yeur-llke davs. to face this situation with something of dull resignation; there was nothing else to do But the complications of his heart had not. In the turmoil, been reckoned with. The poster had brought them In to sharn relief. Lonely, harassed hungry for some one who would be kind to hlra. he had stood brfore those tattered circus bills like rpverent oerson before an altar If he could only see her and hear her voice; If he could once more rtnnd beside her. watching the Blaming sun string Its filmy gold through hr wfi hair, to have her talk to him. the tones of her as soft as caress! The protective side of him had cried out against the thought m-hile the heart of him throbbed and nounded for her and demand ed her thl one thing above til the world So. at last, there bad been a compromise.

"Then there was that other dog who hnd made himself unpopular with his neighbors over In New Jer sey because of his hnhlt of burking at night. The local police recorder had been notified, and the aged resident resi-dent who owned him was given tha sad command to dispose of him. It happened that the owner not only actually depended on the dog for companionship, but for errands at which the creature had proved remarkably re-markably dependable, "Well, the upshot of It was," said the lady who loves animals, triumphantly, trium-phantly, "that CO persons, led by the mayor of the town, heard of the matter mat-ter and testified In the dog's behalf. Some of them, mind you, even gave up their vacations so that they might aid the case. And the dog was officially offi-cially forgiven."
