Success had not co®« to Spfellman without grim battle. For thirty of his forty-six years he had fought for it rung by rung. From the lean days when he lived with his parents and seven brother and sisters In an old water-front tenement, to his days of newspaper selling along lower Broadway, then on up to the still leap.li but eager days of his cub reportership, when he shared a walk-up, four-room apartment in Greenwich street with three other fellows, and so on and so on.

Strangely enough, although in a much less spectacular way, these boys had gone on, too. As if contact with the success-destined personality of Spellman had cast its power over them. Spike Quigley, erstwhile police reporter on the Herald, while Bill had been rewrite man, was now president of a large motor car corporation. Red Dyke, also ex-rewrite man, had recently presented his daughter with a check for fifty-thousand dollars on her wedding day. Even Slow Thompson, special writer for the Town Review, had since come nicely into hia own as real estate promoter in the land parcel deals. *- The old "Greenwich Guys," As they had been pleased to call themselves, had all come along in the world, so to speak. t Spellman valued those days. Looking back, they sometimes seemed to him' to have been the happiest of his life. They were the days when he had dreamed of writing. Before the moil and the toll had caught him In their clutches and flung him around on the great belt, as it were, of the gigantic wheel called struggle-for-existence. Bill had been a. dreamer back in those days. So had all that particular little nest of fellows. The long, "t&lky evenings over pale red wine and greasy Italian table d'hote dinners In iubeellars, dreaming, talking, planning, hoping! And rebelling! Spellman had been a rebel In those days. Hating Injustice. Crying out against monopolies and against man's Inhumanity to man. Spellman had dreamed of writing the great American Comedie Humaine, only, as he outlined it to the Greenwich GuyB, as they sat talking on and on into the dream-lit nights, his Comedie Humaine was going to show humanity the grim tragedy, as well. Oh, Spellman had dreams, all right They lit the dinglness of the poky little over-crammed flat. They lit fhe days and nights. They., were the dreams of idealism.

The deluge of the material success that made of life a cyclorama. A success so blinding, so amazing, that the world clamored for its recipe. No wonder that under tlie stress of if, the strain of it, there came the time when Spellman, still in love with success., mind you, felt, however, the need of a retreat from the maddening" crowd. At first his family rebelled. His wife, young, a product of the world he had gro^n into, held back from that move off the Avenue. His children, fiery, spoiled, intelligent, creatures of their kind of environment, shied at. first and then capitulated to the novelty of the Idea. ° In the end, the move turned out to be one of the most brilliantly diplomatic things Spellman had ever done. It' proved his position in the social World which his wife and children craved. Society Came flocking over after Spellman to the hitherto obscure section along the East river. A new and old-world looking boulevard began to take shape over there. Brilliantly successful as it waa, in the eyes of his family, and'the realty dealers who profited by the land boom, so far as Spellman waa concerned, it was a failure, v He had defeated his own purpose. In seekiRg to escape the maddening crowd, he had only brought it tagging along with him. Travel meant no respite to Spellman: There were the ship, reporters, the glare of limelight even In obscure foreign parts, and once when hee sought the desert, reporters with cameras had found him out as he stalked.- across the waste place, camel-back. Spellman wanted leisure now. But his Long Island home was a social rendezvous- and his Adirondack camp that same kind of center all over n. New Mexico became the fad, no sooner he had built an abode hut out there, and a private office In the forty-sixth story of the Woolworth office building remained private for about two weeks. Spellman wanted leisure. Spellman wanted to write. The old urge waa upon him. The old desire to put into printed, palpitating word the human panorama as it had marched so dramatically before his still young eyes. Spellman wanted mental peace. The quiet kind of hours that yield 9P dreams. ' ^ ^ One day an Idea struck him like a benign flash out of heaven. Within three hours, secret agents had been dispatched down to a rickety little old buildirif in quaint old Greenwich street. Twelve hours later, the property had secretly passed into the hands of Spellman. One week later, and with a degree" of secrecy that only power and money could command, Spellman walked into almost an extra replica of the dingys old flat of days gone by. He had even managed to have reproduced the mangy old carpet sofa upon which he had slept those eager nights, away back. There was the ink spot on the waU left from Red Dyke having good naturedly hurled a bottle of the stuff at Bill one night after an altercation on the subject of Neitsche's philosophy. The first night that Spellman spent in his new retreat promised to be one of the greatest peace he had known in years. A long quiet evening before the tunnel-shaped little old grate In the dingy flat. Books. Memories. Dreams. Ideals. But, of course, it was hard to concentrate. By eleven o'clock, a hundred details were crowding Into Spellman's mind, making It difficult for him to use ills well-earned leisure. There was not telephone. There had been none In the old days. One had to go to the corner drug store. That made It difficult. In the last year, Spellman had developed a slight heart leakage. Unimportant, but he required a certain amount of restraint to his activities. By eleven, Spellman, accustomed to chilled mineral water at' his bedside, was thirsty. There was only the hydrant. And no ice in the leaky refrigerator. There had never been any in the old days, unless one of the fellows ran over- to Grody's saloon and brought back a nickel's worth. Of course thet'e was no Grody's saloon any more. -- When finally Spellman turned in, the magic to the old couch was all gone. The old couch hurt ! It shot into his ribs with a cruelty that kept him wide awake and concentrating upon his discomfort rather than any of' the °ld dreams he had used to enjoy, with his eyes staring wide open into the comfortable blackness. The blackness annoyed him now. He had the sensation tha$ vermin might be crawling around and about him. The stiff blanket irked. The air from the shaft waa foul. , ^ ^ - At eight o'clock the next morning, Spellman, who had fallen off into a brief hour's sleep, awoke stiff and^unrefreshed. A blurred mirror gave back his lined and weary image. The little old room of his memories was a dirty smear. The old Bill waa gone. Spellman waa In his place. * Emerging from the rickety little building that morning, eager for a taxi and a trip uptown to his warm and mellow bath, he found a battalion of reporters and photographers lying in wait for him who leaped into action at sight of him. "Mr. Spellman, have you anything to say--click--click--click--on the subject of--" , "Yes, fellows, I have," said Mr. Spellman smiling, &1 he hailed his taxi. "He who would seek, for his lost youth, must find it in hia heart. There is no .going back." VOLtf Mrs. Eva«Ames of Waukegan spent Monday with Mrs. Ida Fisher. H. A.
