Soapy left his bench and strolled out of the square and the across the level of asphalt, where Broadway and Fifth avenue flow together. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped at a luxurious café.  

        Soapy had confidence in himself from the lowest button of his vest upward. He was shaven and his coat was trim and his neat, black bow had been presented to him by a lady missionary on Thanksgiving Day. If only he could reach a table in the restaurant unsuspected, success would be his. The portion of him that would show above the table would raise no doubt in the winter’s mind. A roasted mallard duck, thought soapy would be about the thing the bottle of wine and then some cheese, a cup of coffee and a cigar. One dollar for a cigar would be enough be enough. The total would not be so high as to call forth any extreme of revenge from the café management; and yet the meat would not leave him filled and happy for the journey to his winter island.  

          But as Soapy set foot inside restaurant door, the head-waiter's eye fell upon his tattered trousers and decadent shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed in silence and haste to the side-walk and averted the ignoble fate of the menaced mallard.  

       Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that his route to the coveted island was not to be an easy one. Some other way of entering the limbo must be devised.  

        At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights and cunningly displayed wares behind plateglass made a shop window attractive. Soapy took a stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still of brass buttons.  ​
