Stranger from Chicago Survives a Night in New York
A penniless Chicago wanderer drifts through Madison Square, Union Square, and the Bowery in a sleepless night. He endures a park beating by a policeman, a harrowing Harlem bridge crossing, and a string of improvised meals and lodging as he trails a plan to reach his brother in Jersey City. He yields to temptation at a hotel breakfast and dinner lounges, then reunites with his brother after a ferry ride, settling debts and boarding the train home.
