                                    Chapter I 



       A very little boy stood upon a heap of gravel for the honor of Rum 

Alley。    He   was   throwing   stones   at   howling   urchins   from   Devil's   Row 

who were circling madly about the heap and pelting at him。 

     His   infantile   countenance   was   livid   with   fury。  His   small   body   was 

writhing in the delivery of great�察�crimson oaths。 

     ;Run�察   �Jimmie�察   �run�    �Dey'll   get   yehs�察─  �screamed     a  retreating   Rum 

Alley child。 

     ;Naw�察─�responded Jimmie with a valiant roar�察 �dese micks can't make 

me run。; 

     Howls of renewed wrath went up from Devil's Row throats。                   Tattered 

gamins on the right made a furious assault on the gravel heap。                  On their 

small�察�convulsed   faces  there   shone the grins of   true   assassins。         As   they 

charged�察�they threw stones and cursed in shrill chorus。 

     The   little   champion   of   Rum   Alley   stumbled   precipitately   down   the 

other side。     His coat had been torn to shreds in a scuffle�察�and his hat was 

gone。     He    had   bruises   on   twenty    parts  of   his  body�察  �and   blood    was 

dripping from a cut in his head。          His wan features wore a look of a tiny�察�

insane demon。 

     On the ground�察�children from Devil's Row closed in on their antagonist。 

He    crooked    his   left  arm  defensively     about   his  head    and  fought    with 

cursing fury。      The little boys ran to and fro�察�dodging�察�hurling stones and 

swearing in barbaric trebles。 

     From   a   window   of   an   apartment   house   that   upreared   its   form   from 

amid     squat�察  �ignorant   stables�察  �there   leaned    a  curious   woman。      Some 

laborers�察�unloading a scow at a dock at the river�察�paused for a moment and 

regarded   the   fight。   The   engineer   of   a   passive   tugboat   hung   lazily   to   a 

railing and watched。        Over on the   Island�察�a worm building and   crawled 

slowly along the river's bank。 

     A stone had smashed into Jimmie's mouth。               Blood was bubbling over 

his chin and down upon his ragged shirt。            Tears made furrows on his dirt´ 



                                               2

stained     cheeks。    His    thin   legs   had   begun    to  tremble     and   turn   weak�察�

causing his small body to reel。           His roaring curses of the first part of the 

fight had changed to a blasphemous chatter。 

     In   the   yells   of the   whirling   mob   of   Devil's   Row  children there   were 

notes of joy like songs of triumphant savagery。 The little boys seemed to 

leer gloatingly at the blood upon the other child's face。 

     Down   the   avenue   came   boastfully   sauntering   a   lad   of   sixteen   years�察�

although the chronic sneer of an ideal manhood already sat upon his lips。 

His   hat   was   tipped   with   an   air   of   challenge   over   his   eye。 Between   his 

teeth�察�a cigar stump was tilted at the angle of defiance。               He walked with a 

certain swing of the shoulders which appalled the timid。                 He glanced over 

into    the  vacant    lot  in  which    the  little  raving   boys    from   Devil's    Row 

seethed about the shrieking and tearful child from Rum Alley。 

     ;Gee� ─�he murmured with interest。             ;A scrap。      Gee� ─�

     He    strode   over    to  the  cursing    circle�察 �swinging     his   shoulders    in  a 

manner which denoted that he held victory in his fists。 He approached at 

the back of one of the most deeply engaged of the Devil's Row children。 

     ;Ah�察�what deh hell�察─�he said�察�and smote the deeply´engaged one on the 

back   of   the   head。   The   little   boy   fell   to   the   ground   and   gave   a   hoarse�察�

tremendous   howl。        He   scrambled   to   his   feet�察  �and   perceiving�察  �evidently�察�

the   size   of   his   assailant�察  �ran   quickly   off�察  �shouting   alarms。  The   entire 

Devil's Row party followed him。              They came to a stand a short distance 

away  and   yelled   taunting   oaths   at   the   boy  with   the   chronic sneer。      The 

latter�察�momentarily�察�paid no attention to them。 

     ;What deh hell�察�Jimmie�拭─�he asked of the small champion。 

     Jimmie wiped his blood´wet features with his sleeve。 

     ;Well�察�it was dis way�察�Pete�察�see�          �I was goin' teh lick dat Riley kid and 

dey all pitched on me。; 

     Some Rum Alley children now came forward。                     The party stood for a 

moment       exchanging      vainglorious      remarks    with    Devil's   Row。     A    few 

stones   were     thrown     at  long   distances�察  �and    words    of  challenge     passed 

between small warriors。          Then the Rum Alley contingent turned slowly in 

the   direction   of   their   home   street。   They   began   to   give�察  �each   to   each�察�



                                                 3

distorted versions of the fight。         Causes of retreat in particular cases were 

magnified。      Blows dealt in the fight were enlarged to catapultian power�察�

and   stones   thrown   were   alleged   to   have   hurtled   with   infinite   accuracy。 

Valor   grew   strong   again�察  �and   the   little   boys   began   to   swear   with   great 

spirit。 

     ;Ah�察    �we    blokies    kin   lick   deh   hull   damn     Row�察─    �said   a   child�察�

swaggering。 

     Little Jimmie was striving to stanch the flow of blood from his cut lips。 

Scowling�察�he turned upon the speaker。 

     ;Ah�察  �where   deh   hell   was   yeh   when   I   was   doin'   all   deh   fightin�拭─  �he 

demanded。        ;Youse kids makes me tired。; 

     ;Ah�察�go ahn�察─�replied the other argumentatively。 

     Jimmie   replied   with   heavy   contempt。        ;Ah�察  �youse   can't   fight�察  �Blue 

Billie�    �I kin lick yeh wid one han'。; 

     ;Ah�察�go ahn�察─�replied Billie again。 

     ;Ah�察─�said Jimmie threateningly。 

     ;Ah�察─�said the other in the same tone。 

     They   struck   at   each   other�察  �clinched�察  �and   rolled   over   on   the   cobble 

stones。 

     ;Smash 'im�察�Jimmie�察�kick deh damn guts out of 'im�察─�yelled Pete�察�the 

lad with the chronic sneer�察�in tones of delight。 

     The small combatants pounded and kicked�察�scratched and tore。                      They 

began to weep and their curses struggled in their throats with sobs。                    The 

other little boys clasped their hands and wriggled their legs in excitement。 

They formed a bobbing circle about the pair。 

     A tiny spectator was suddenly agitated。 

     ;Cheese it�察�Jimmie�察�cheese it�          �Here comes yer fader�察─�he yelled。 

     The circle of little boys instantly parted。          They drew away and waited 

in   ecstatic   awe   for   that   which   was   about   to   happen。 The   two   little   boys 

fighting in the modes of four thousand years ago�察�did not hear the warning。 

     Up the avenue there plodded slowly a man with sullen eyes。 He was 

carrying a dinner pail and smoking an apple´wood pipe。 

     As he neared the spot where the little boys strove�察�he regarded them 



                                                4

listlessly。    But suddenly he roared an oath and advanced upon the rolling 

fighters。 

     ;Here�察  �you   Jim�察  �git   up�察  �now�察  �while   I   belt   yer   life   out�察  �you   damned 

disorderly brat。; 

     He began to kick into the chaotic mass on the ground。                 The boy Billie 

felt   a   heavy    boot   strike   his   head。    He     made     a  furious    effort  and 

disentangled himself from Jimmie。             He tottered away�察�damning。 

     Jimmie   arose   painfully   from   the   ground   and   confronting   his   father�察�

began   to   curse   him。    His   parent   kicked   him。     ;Come   home�察  �now�察─  �he 

cried�察 �an' stop yer jawin'�察�er I'll lam the everlasting head off yehs。; 

     They departed。        The man paced placidly along with the apple´ wood 

emblem of serenity between his teeth。              The boy followed a dozen feet in 

the rear。    He swore luridly�察�for he felt that it was degradation for one who 

aimed to be some vague soldier�察�or a man of blood with a sort of sublime 

license�察�to be taken home by a father。

       Eventually they entered into a dark region where�察�from a careening 

building�察�a dozen gruesome doorways gave up loads of babies to the street 

and the gutter。      A wind of early autumn raised yellow dust from cobbles 

and swirled it against an hundred windows。              Long streamers of garments 

fluttered   from   fire´escapes。     In   all   unhandy   places   there   were   buckets�察�

brooms�察�rags and bottles。        In the street infants played or fought with other 

infants or sat stupidly in the way of vehicles。            Formidable women�察�with 

uncombed hair and disordered dress�察�gossiped while leaning on railings�察�or 

screamed   in   frantic   quarrels。    Withered   persons�察  �in   curious   postures   of 

submission      to  something�察    �sat  smoking      pipes   in  obscure    corners。    A 

thousand   odors of   cooking   food   came   forth   to   the  street。   The   building
