you in half dozen words the state of the

she has been very badly used. The fact is
she was the daughter of an old fellow named
Club, in the oil and color trade, man re-
puted to be worth mint Of money. When
she married Podgers, who was pork butcher
in a small way of business, Podgers naturally
wanted to know what the old man would do
for them. A little ready money would have
been very acceptable, and as they knew that
Susan that's Mrs. Podgers, was the only
daughter, and would come in for all the old
mans money at his death, they didn't see
why he shouldn't give 'em little at once, on
account like. But old Club wasn't to be
had in that way. No. he says, 'if you
marry Susan, when die you'll have all I've
got, which may be ten thousand or it may be
twenty; but Pm not a-going to undress be-
fore I go to bed, as the saying isp' So upon
that, and quite relying that the old man
would keep his word, Podgers goes and mar
ries. They all knew the old man couldn't
last very long, so on the strength of his ex-
pectations Podgers puts in a new shop-win-
dow and starts a pony.trap. Trade was bad
and Podgers found himself outrunning the
