THE CHICAGO TRn
plying their nefarious industry in the midst ot
| some harmless aud wholly unprotected friends,
Whcn,a 4SQpng man OF modest demeanor re-
"And You left Philadelphia, when3' 10" re,
| piled one Of the returned Centennia1ites, "we
left Just two weeks ago, after spending fort
! night there. We would have stayed month
bat prices wers ko 90 terribly ezpSasire Why,
room with bed and bootjack in 1t, and as for
a plate Of pork and beans, some radisltes,
the ygunSa ysnaa man, st.5a With .na+np plying look
! Monday paid s11.45 for Bologna sausage,
some Dutch mustard and bottle Of ale, 1t
| would only have been s1o.95 II had taken
1ager,:-and my landlord charged me $33.33 1-S
eight-hour system, from II p. N. to 7 g. H., two
other fellows having it for tho other two watches.
The first returned Centennialite flushed for O
moment, and bit his lip, then, With an effort to
remain calm, said: "A-ahl but you we're fortu-
nate in going 50 late, because then you avoided
day, and there were 165,000 people present.
Such crushing and crowding never saw" $50
believe, - replied the young man easily, "and
can well imagine it must have been very un-
the Centennial the average daily attendance
was o06, ,217, and they said Saturday there
were $4,000 people present, though I don't
think myself there were more than 1888, 500"
The male returned Centenniallte could not trust
himself to speak, his face grew very white, and
his features worked, when fortunately his wife,
the female returned Ceutennialite, came to his
aid. 1--WE saw Dom Pedro,' she said, crush
ingly; !" friend Of ours, who is one OF the
clerks In the Centennial Bureau, got us splendid
places within 20 or 80 feet OF him, and I'VE saw
him SO we'll" The young man replied without
sign Of emotion: "Dom Pedro visited the Ex-
position last week when was there, and my
old chums, Joe Hawley and Alec Goshorn, in
The Emperor Is an awfully jolly casa: I said to
him, SAY, Pedro, whcn-n" Here the male re-
turned Centcnnialite, who had risen and walked
to the window, where he stood drumming un-
easily on the sill with bis fingers, said huskily
late, past s O'Clock; it's time ne we're goiug,''
and they departed ignominious1y. No sooner
had the front door slammed behind their retir-
ing forms than the host, ordinarily 8 man re-
served and cold in the extreme, threw hand
to the young man, threw another handspring
and folded the young man in close embracc.
Bring up dozen OF Krug,'' he cried, "it's
my treat. Young man." he continued, "call
on my confidential clerk to-morrow and be will
haye a certified check for you" "You love my
daughteF:" said second capitalist who was
present; " she Is yonrs; will settle $100, 600 on
you tomorrow and fail next week." II am
proud to make your acquaintance, sir" said
third gentleman; III you will become ny ~ part
ner In an established business paying $167, 500 a
year profits, shall be ouly too deeply dattered."
The best OF 1t is that that young man has never
been further east of Chicago than Ainsworth.
