Some other way of entering the desirable refuge must be found.

　　At a corner of Sixth Avenue Soapy took a stone and sent it through the glass of a glittering shop window. People came running around the corner, a policeman at the head of them. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the sight of the policeman.

　　“Where is the man that has done that?” asked the policeman.

　　“Don’t you think that I have had something to do with it?” said Soapy, friendly.

　　The policeman paid no attention to Soapy. Men who break windows don’t remain to speak with policemen. They run away. He saw a man running and rushed after him, stick in hand. Soapy, disgusted, walked along, twice unsuccessful.

　　On the opposite side of the street was a restaurant for people with large appetites and modest purses. Soapy entered this place without difficulty. He sat at a table and ate beefsteak and pie. And then he told the waiter he had no money.

　　“Go and call a cop,” said Soapy. “And don’t keep a gentleman waiting.”

　　“No cop for you,” said the waiter. “Hey!”

　　Then Soapy found himself lying upon his left ear on the pavement. He arose with difficulty, and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed a rosy dream. The Island seemed far away.

　　After another unsuccessful attempt to be arrested for harassing a young woman, Soapy went further toward the district of theatres.
