Not long aimee two Of them had been
tinancirrlng from early morn to eve to
procure the wherewithall to enable them
to satisfy the cravings Of hunger. At
last, when they had about given up in
despair, they espied coming down
Meadow Valley Street one Of the girls

her" rs they expressed it, for money
to cat on, and accordingly did so; but
she only possessed enough filthy lucre to
enable one to go eat. and as she desired
to satisfy both, she stated that she would
try the faro game and win the money

depths OF hunger. This was all nicely
arranged, but unfortunately the fates
were not propitious as the money was

hungry ones to get square meal.
