FIRST LOVES by FELIX RIESENBURG EIGHTH INSTALLMENT SYNOPSIS: Johnny Breen, 16 years old, who has spent all his life aboard a Hudson river tugboat plying near New York, is tossed into the river by a terrific explosion which sinks the tug, drowns his mother and the man he called father. Ignorant, unschooled, and fear driven, he drags himself ashore hides in the friendly darkness of a covered truck—only to be kicked out at dawn—and into the midst of a tough gang of boys who beat and chase him. He escapes into a basement doorway where he hides. The next day he is rescued and taken into the home of a Jewish family living in the rear of their second-hand clothing store. He works in the sweet shop store—and is openly courted by Becka—the young daughter. The scene shifts to the home of the wealthy Van Horns—on 5th Avenue, where lives the bachelor—Gilbert Van Horn—in whose life there is a hidden chapter. That chapter was an affair with his mother's maid, who left the house when he was accused. The lives of Johnny Breen and Gilbert Van Horn first cross when Van Horn sees Breen win his first important ring battle. Pug Malone, fight trainer, rescues young Breen from a crooked manager, takes him in hand, finds Breen cannot read and starts him to night school. Malone, an old-timer, is backed in a health-farm venture — taking Breen with him. There they meet and come to know Gilbert Van Horn. abruptly, his fists clenched, his face flaming. Then the two men stepped off, at a brisk pace, down the hill toward Greenbough Farm. Van Horn walked a pace or so behind John; tears were in his eyes, he could not speak. The boy started to dogtrot ahead of him, but he did not follow as was their custom at the end of a hike. "Hey, Jack," Pug pounded at John's door a few day slater. "Charlie's brought up a letter from Van Horn. A special on it, for you." Pug burst into John's room. "Well?" Pug was expectant, as full of curiosity as Eve. "Read it, Pug." "What tha—say, John, I don't know. What's it about?" "Here, let me read it. 'Dear John.' It's about a talk we had the day before he left. 'Dear John,' I have been thinking about what you said. I won a lot in those scraps and have been trying to figure a way in which I could use the money. If you will enter Columbia, this fall, I'll see you through engineering. You can pass the entrance, perhaps with a few conditions. I'm placing a credit in Pug's name for five thousand, to pay the way. Don't hesitate to take this. You really earned every cent of it. Merely a little speculation of mine. "I'm sailing on the St. Louis tomorrow. Will be at sea when you get the letter. Going abroad for a few months with my niece—Josephine." of eighteen. He smoked and planned. Gilbert Van determined upon a course which every atom of cossessed would be required he had achieved an absorption. Gilbert Van Horn, wise men in some matters, learnt much to himself, except periods when the two frightened Greenbough. As for his ranged things so she saw John Breen. The boy wailed so Van Horn argued, and training was nothing she sportmanship. Long trip Newport, the social activity few in the great city — the Josephine, and at times herself by a long look length photograph of Fig in ring togs, taken just beside with the Quaker.

"What are you usual stuff?" John took shade, evidently with reliqued into the work of NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I'm getting ready to go back to the city. I don't know, it seems to me as John suddenly realized that I scandalous. "John this is my ward tire was not only scanty, but Josephine," Van Horn. if my life was to be there, doing something for the city, not just helping Pug pound money out of fat slobs who come uphere." John and Van Horn were then resting on a fence rail, under the shade of an oak, looking across the valley that separated them by a mile or more from Greenbough. They talked idly. Van Horn pulled out a burnt briar and filled it. He drew a few puffs of smoke. "You've studied a lot." The older man had a very wholesome regard for John's extraordinary researches. "Well, yes, I have, Gil. But Pug tells me I'm off the road. He's right. But I want your slant on this. I'm going in for engineering. Mr. Rantoul has sort of set my mind that way, not by saying anything to me direct, but by the way he talks when he's up here. I never saw a more certain man in my life. He's a big man, Gil, as big as his would take you, some day." "Never, Pug, never." Tears stood in the boy's eyes. He rose, put his arm over the bent shoulders of the trainer; the gray head was down. Pug looked at the rag carpet, his own eyes moist. John bent down and kissed the gray hairs of Malone. That tough citizen rose suddenly to make a swipe at him as he ran out and down the corridor to the showers. For several weeks following his admission to the school of engineering, after his bout with the entrance examiners, John Breen moved in a strange, imponderable world. Then came the great day of the flag rush between the freshmen and sophomores and Breen's great strength and superb physique, made him the hero of the school. John caught a glimpse of Gilbert Van Horn waving to him. He stood beside the golden statue. "Boys, dresser in Van Horn's room. John Breen of the cold straight ahead, his pompier as a shoe brush, was of the "Breen, you're looking at board of the graduate school into the room of the student close to midnight and John his work table, his tired cage of formulae in the chanics.

"I'd like to tell you Harboard drew a battered his pocket and tamped down smoked charge of tobacco, and puffed contentedly." — Harboard rolled the wrist tongue—" leading to—" "The degree of civil engineer sensed a question—and answer. "Leading to a complete ode to the mind," Harboard conting John's swords. "I've wait for some time, Breen, est last year. I'm studying, one to study the art of teaching here from a small southside you and ninety-nine per cent here would not know they mentioned it; one horse through, and poor. Poor, money." He smoked though a few minutes. "What's this junk," he nodded at the sweeping his pipe over the are you going to do?" For a while the two frie silence, John had tossed his aside and searched for a picture no particular answer for the He was going to get through getting through to, well, thing, but just what he did know. "Well Breen, if the third doing are a fair example of our schools of industry driving you at constant don't wonder at some of the see about us. You don't mind this, do you?" "No." John thought a mishad an intense admiration many of his teachers, care working men, just, and fully underpaid. "You said about the things we see instance?" "Well, if you wish, fail we see—the costliest failure world. We see prime you into a machine and sw ground and pounded untilinal impulse and idea is placed under a concentrated layer I've made a study of edu have practiced it on others results, but what I see here..." "You've studied a lot." The older man had a very wholesome regard for John's extraordinary researches. "Well, yes, I have, Gil. But Pug tells me I'm off the road. He's right. But I want your slant on this. I'm going in for engineering. Mr. Rantoul has sort of set my mind that way, not by saying anything to me direct, but by the way he talks when he's up here. I never saw a more certain man in my life. He's a big man, Gil, as big as his bridges, and now he's going to swing another one over the river." "A civil engineer?" Van Horn looked sidewise at John. "It's a stiff profession; if you go through the schools." "I guess it's part of that fight; in the city." "You've been thinking about this a long time?" It was a question. "Off and on for a year, I guess. I've been worrying, Gil. I'm not satisfied. I'd hate to say it especially to Pug, after all he's done for me." "You've told me a lot about the Bowery, John, and a lot about the East Side. Its the river I'd like to hear about." Van Horn spoke, haltingly. "Well, Gil, there's not much to tell. My mother was everything on the river. Now that I know more, I realize she was not able to help me. Gil, she was beautiful." John's eyes held a far-away look. "Her name was Harriet Jones, of Haverstraw. I know, now, from what I can recall, from things I heard, Breen was not my father. John spoke slowly. He relit his pipe, and looked off over the darkening valley; it was late afternoon and cloudy." Gilbert Van Horn looked off too, far away. He dared not look at John. Gilbert knew more than John Breen. "My mother was a good woman, Gil. I know that." "Of course she was, and your father, John, he might be found," the older man still looked away, his voice was very low. "If I found him, Gil——" "Yes, John——," the words were expectant. The boy paused intense. "I'd kill him!" John Breen rose suddenly to make a swipe at him as he ran out and down the corridor to the showers. For several weeks following his admission to the school of engineering, after his bout with the entrance examiners, John Breen moved in a strange, imponderable world. Then came the great day of the flag rush between the freshmen and sophomores and Breen's great strength and superb physique, made him the hero of the school. John caught a glimpse of Gilbert Van Horn waving to him. He stood beside the golden statue. "Boys, let me down." John kicked free and ran across to Van Horn. A great many people stood about. John suddenly realized he was not on the gym floor at Greenburgh, that his attire was not only scanty, but scandalous; he was practically in rags. One shoe had disappeared in the battle, he had not noticed it until his feet touched the stone steps. "Josephine, this is John Breen. John, my ward, Josephine." John stood speechless. He held the hand extended to him. Blue eyes, laughing eyes, smiled at his predicament. Miss Lambert was completely aware of the striking situation as she felt the tense grip of the hero of a college moment. Then freshmen rushed up to John and holsted him clear of his embarrassment. He turned and waved at Josephine and Van Horn. They waved at him in return. The crowd was scattering as Gilbert Van Horn and his ward walked down the broad steps to the curb. Josephine looked at her white glove, soiled by the fingers of John Breen. They were silent on the ride home; Gilbert Van Horn looked out of the window of the car. Josephine still felt the tingling grip of the young man in rags. His smile, his tousled yellow hair and white teeth, and his confusion, and his superb arms and body, seemed to flit across her memory, a vivid picture. He was not at all like the John Breen she had expected to see. That night Gilbert Van Horn sat in the library until midnight. Josephine had played for him that evening, she too was in a reflective mood: a romantic girl, a young woman... ANAHEIM GAZETTE Eyes Examined — Glasses Fitted HOMER A. NELSON, Opt. D.

We see prime youth dumped into a machine and sweated and bound and pounded until every origi-nal impulse and idea is packed down under a concentrated layer of stupidity. We made a study of education and have practiced it on others with some results, but what I see here is a farce. The brain is intended for use, not for the stowage of freight. The structure of the mind needs development through cognition, in thought and reason. Why, commit, man, they seem to be stuffing you with the accumulated facts of the times, regardless of how, or why, they are discovered." Harboard paused, relied and relit his pipe while John sat silence. The worst of the whole thing is the awful hopelessness after you are brought here. You are sweated, you are driven and you survive. But what you survive for? Well, in the course of time your strained technical strain has to do with the work of men.

Pasadena, Monrovia, Pomona, Rancho Santa Barbara, Burbank, Kersfield, San Bernardino, and Santa Ana were the 10 out of 12 California cities to show a marked increase in building during the month of July. Production of crude oil in California during the last two weeks in July approached more reassuring levels for one time. Continued curtailment will have a beneficial effect on the entire industry.

THE ETERNAL MIRACLE WE are quite unmindful of chronology in writing this story. We are not bound by the familiar outline which begins with the song of the angels of Bethlehem and ends with the weeping of the women at the cross. We shall thread our way back and forth through the rich variety of Jesus' life, picking up this incident and that bit of conversation, this dramatic contact and that audacious decision, and bringing them together as best to illustrate our purpose. For that purpose is not to write a biography but to paint a portrait. We pass quickly over thirty years of Jesus' life, nothing only that somehow, somewhere there occurred in those years the eternal miracle—the awakening of the inner consciousness of power. The eternal miracle! In New York one day a luncheon was tendered by a gathering of distinguished gentlemen to David Lloyd George. There were perhaps two hundred at the tables. The food was good and the speeches were impressive. But what stirred one's imagination was a study of the men at the speakers' table. There they were—some of the most influential citizens of the present-day world; and who were they? At one end of the table an international financier—the son of a poor country parson. Beside him a great newspaper proprietor—he came from a tiny town in Maine and landed in New York with less than a hundred dollars. A little farther along the president of a world-wide press association—a copy boy in a country newspaper office. And, in the center, the boy who grew up in the poverty of an obscure Welsh village, and became the commanding statesman of the British Empire in the greatest crisis of history. When and how and where did the eternal miracle occur in the lives of those men? At what hour, in the morning, in the afternoon, in the long quiet evenings, did the audacious thought enter the mind of each of them that he was larger than the limits of a country town, that his life might be bigger than his father's? Likewise, when did the thought come to Jesus? Was it one morning when he stood at the carpenter's bench, the sun stream- less than a hundred dollars. A little farther along the president of a world-wide press association—a copy boy in a country newspaper office. And, in the center, the boy who grew up in the poverty of an obscure Welsh village, and became the commanding statesman of the British Empire in the greatest crisis of history. When and how and where did the eternal miracle occur in the lives of those men? At what hour, in the morning, in the afternoon, in the long quiet evenings, did the audacious thought enter the mind of each of them that he was larger than the limits of a country town, that his life might be bigger than his father's? Likewise, when did the thought come to Jesus? Was it one morning when he stood at the carpenter's bench, the sun streaming in across the hills? Was it late in the night, after the family had retired, and he had slipped out to walk and wonder under the stars? Nobody knows. All we can be sure of is this—that the consciousness of his divinity must have come to him in a time of solitude, of awe in the presence of Nature. The western hemisphere has been fertile in material progress, but the great religions have all come out of the East. The deserts are a symbol of the infinite; the vast spaces that divide man from the stars fill the human soul with wonder. Somewhere, at some unforgettable hour, the daring filled Jesus' heart. He knew that he was bigger than Nazareth. Next Week: Days of Doubts Copyright. Bobbs-Merrill Company THE GAZETTE FOR GOOD JOB PRINTING A.B.C.
