TO his side with the grace OF Il cart
| horse.

| tleman.
The East-sider glanced at him in
| evident confusion, stood i'll rctlec-
| tive attitude for ten seconds, and
then rushed to the walters dressing
room, where hc had left his coat. In
| a minute he reappeared before the
| astonlshed guest with Il deck OF grea-
! ~ playing cards, which he tossed
| upon tie table, accompanied by the
words, "All right, my old covey fiji
your hand.n
The head waiter here came To the
| rescue, ascertaincd that the stranger
wished a bottle of Carted 'Or, and
sent it To the table, TO be opened by
| the Bowery fruit dealer. Without
waiting for ii to cool. he knocked off
| the top with the edge of a china
| plate. In a second the old gentle
mans bald head was shampooed
with the troth, and many little riy-
ulets of champagne ran down his
back. and only stopped i'm his boots.
