Are there tailor's apprentices nowadays? At aoy rate. Ikey toiled and atnpiied and hasted and pressed and patchej arid sponged ail day In the steamy fetor of a tailor shop, but wheu work was uo tie Ikey bitched his wagon, to such stars as his Armament let shine. It was Saturday night, and the boss laid twelve begrimed and begrudged dollars In his hand. Ikey dabbled discreetly In water, donned coat, bat and collar, with its frazzled tie add chal eadony pin. and set forth In pursuit of ! his ideals. For each of us when our Say's work la done must seek our ideal, whether it be love or penuchle or lobster a la New burg or the sweet silence of the musty bookshelves. Behold Ikey as he ambles up the ' •treet beneath the roaring "L." he- 1 twee ii the rows of reeking sweatshops. 1 Pallid, stooping. insignificant. squalid. 1 doomed to exist forever in penury of body and mind, yet as be swings his ! cheap cane and projects the noisome 1 Inhalations from his cigarette you per 1 Celve that he nurtures in his narrow ; bosom the bacillns of society. i ' Ikey's legs carried him to and into j ! that famous place- of entertainment i known as the Cafe Maghinis— famous ' ' because it was the rendezvous of Billy !

World had ever produced. Billy McMahan was the district leader. Upon him the tiger purred, and hla hand held tnanna to scatter. Now. aa Ikey entered McMahan stood. flusbed and triumphant and mighty, the center of a huzzaing concourse of his lieutenants and constituents. It seems there had t- >n an election. A signal ' victory had been won. The city had ■ been swept hack into line by_a resistless besom of ballots. Ikey jlunk along the bar and gazed, breath quickened, at bis idol. How magniAcent was Billy McMahan, with his great smooth, laughing face; his gray eye. shrewd as a chicken hawk's; his diamond ring, bis voice like a bugle call, his prince's air. his plump and active roll of money i his chtrion call to friend and comrade — oh. what a king of men he was! How he obscured his leutenants. though tbey themselves loomed large and serious, blue of chin uDd important of j mien, w.ith bunds buried deep in the | pockets of their short overcoats! But Billy— oh, what small avail are words to paint for you his glory as seen by Ikey Snlgglefritz! The Cafe Maginnls rang to the nob of victory. The white coated bar tenders threw themselves feutfnlh upon bottle, cork and glass. Kr ^ of clear Havanas the air retvU.-.i its paradox of clouds.

And there was born suddenly In the worshipful soul of Ikey Sniggle fritz an audacious, thrilling Impulse He stepped forward Into the little i cleared space in which majesty moved and held out his hand.

"Just to keep the ball ■oiling." « B The last spark of Ikey's reason fled. "Wine." he called to the bartender. ^ waving a trembling band.

Aqd there his women folk, a | bibulous mother and three dingy qpters, pounced anon him for his wagaa. And at his confession they shrieked and objurgated htm In the pithy rhetoric of th* locality; But even as they plucked at him and struck him Ikey remained in his ecI static trance of Joy. His head was In the clouds; the star was drawing his wagon? Compared with what' be had achieved the loos of wages and the bray of women's tongues were slight affairs. He had shaken the hand of Billy McMahan. Billy McMahan bad a wife, and upon her visiting cards was engraved the name "Mrs. William Darragh McMahan." And there was a certain vexation attendant upon these cards, for, small as they were, there were booses In which they could not be Inserted, j Billy McMahan was a dictator In pol- ' ltics, a four walled tower-In business, a mogul dreaded, loved and obeyed among his own people. He was grow Lag rich; the dally papers had a dozen men on his trail to chronicle his every word of wisdom; be had been honored in caricature holding the tiger cringing In leash. «nr rhn haart nf Rllty .(imptlmwi sore within him. There was a race of men from which he stood apart, but that he viewed' with the eye of Moses looking over into the promised land. ! He. too, had ideals, even as had Ikey Bnigglefrltz. and sometimes, hopeless I of attaining them, his own solid sue- I cess was as dust and ashes In his mouth. And Mrs. William Darragh McMahan wore a look , of discontent upon her plump but pretty face, and I the very rustle of her silks seemed a j Blgh. j. There was a brave and conspicuous jl assemblage In the dining salon of a : f noted'hostelry where Fashion loves to' j] display ber charms. At one table sat BYil.r McMahan and bis wife Mostly silent they were, but the accessories s they enjoyed little needed the iudorse,1 ment of speech. Mrs. McMahan's dia j monds were outshone bV few In the room. The waiter bore the costliest brands of -wine to their table in even- j , lng dress, with an expression of gloom ; upon his smooth and massive conn- .. teuance. you would look in vain for I g a more strikb g figure than Billy's. a Four tables away sat alone a tall. J , slender man about thirty, with thought- . ful. melancholy eyes, a vaudyke beard ' and peculiarly white, thin hands lie , was dining on filet mlgnon, dry toast i r and. apolllnarjs. That man was Cort-

mooo.ooa who Inherited and held a sacred seat In the exclusive inner circle of society. Billy McMahan spoke to no one around him because he knew no one. Van Ihiycklnk kept his eyes on his plate because he knew that every eye present was hungry to catch his. He could bestow knighthood and "prestige by a nod. and he was chary of creating a too extensive nobility. And then Billy McMahan conceived and accomplished the most startling and audacious act of his life. He rose deliberately and walked over to Oortlaudt Van Duyeklri'a table and 'held ont his hand. "Say, Mr. Van Duycktnk." he said, "I've heard you was talking about starting some reforms among the poor I>eople down In my district I'm McMahan. you know. Say. now. If that's straight 111 do all I can to help you. And what I says goes In that neck of the woods, don't It? Oh. say. I rather guess It does!" Van Duycklnk-s rather somber eyes lighted up. He rose to his lank height 1 and grasped Billy McMahan's hand. s "Thank you. Mr. McMahan," be said • In hla deep, serious tones. "I have been thinking of doing some, work of • that sort I shall be glad of your assistance. It pleases me to become ao- I - ] quainted with you." Billy walked back to his seat His I • shoulder was tingling from the accolade bestowed by royalty. A hundred eyes were now turned upon him in | envy and new admiration. Mrs. WU- ■ 11am Darragh McMahan trembled with ecstasy, so that her diamonds smote ■ the eye almost with pain. And now it I ^ was apparent that at many tallies bered that they enjoyed Mr. McMa- ] han's acquaintance. He saw smiles 1 j and bows about him. He became enveloped in the aura of dizzy greatness His campaign coolness deserted him. 1 j "Wine for that gang!" be commandI ed the waiter, pointing with his finger. ! 'Wine over there! Wine to those three gents by that green bush! Tell 'em it's on me. See? Wine for everybody!" Tbe waiter ventured to whisper that j It was perhaps inexpedient to carry ! iut the order In consideration of the , dignity of the bouse and its custom. "All right," said Billy, "if ifs against the rules. I wonder if 'twould do to « send my friend Van Duycklnk a bottle. No? Well. It'll flow all right at the I caffy tonight Just the same. It'll be rubber boots for anybody who comes | in there any time up to 2 a. m." ( ] Billy McMahan was happy.
