tenderness in the halcy"n days gone
by, came floating to her on the scented
breath of the morning, thrill passed
through her, and her eyes. erstwhile

fires Of revenge. Looking eagerly
across the croquet ground she saw
PizarrO McGinness, the man who had
scorned her love, coming across lots on
run, while far in advu; re, and now
almost opposite Coastclitf castle, was q
horse-car. The girl smiled grimly to
herself.
"Stop that car" shouted PizarrO
again.
The smile had faded from the pref.
ty face now, but no look Of sadness
took its place. Devil a stop will he
get from me-" she murmured. and
went into the house.
I'm few moments there was a rap
at the door. Esmerelda answered ii
aud found Pizarro there.
You have blighted my life, fal,e
woman" he said. Il had a job way
out on Blue Island avenue, and now
shall lose it because YOU wonld not
stop the car"
DO You mean this?' asked the
girl, kicking the dog OF the front
steps as she spoke.
Yes replied the man." you have
utterly blasted ali my prospects"
Then" said E>merelda, look OF
holy calm and peaceful joy stealing
over her face. 1.-The MuIcahevs are

The Masher.
a close observation of the "masher"
as he exists in Evansville has con-
WINGED us that::he is a cross between
an incurable idiot and a bilious ape
He is made up of a cheap suit of
clothes, a ten-cent cane, a fiashy neck
tie. variegated hat, all oroide watch
chain minus watch, a 80 cent dia-
mond pin, low cnt shoes, red stockings
that cost 8 cents pairaan idiotic grin,
an empty skull and barren purse. He
possesses lots of cheek and no educa-
ton. He stands upon the street
corners and in the theatre lobby, and
when h- catches female eve puts on
his meaningless face a sickly grin
that would sour milk in the middle of
winter. He is abhorred by sensible
women ard detested' by gentlemen.
ii,e actions when ON a mashing expe-
dition would draw forth from AN
Oraug-outang expressions of contempt.
and yet his microscopic brain tells him
that he is pretty and positively ire
sistible. He bases his worth upon
the t.olish of his shoes and tine set of
his clothes, and possesses not ore at
tribute OF the gentleman. He beats
his washwoman, stands off tho boot
blacks and revels i'm free lunches
when any one gives him the right Ia
do so by treating HIM. When IA
woman looks ut him he thinks her
dead i'm love with him. and he loves
to boast To other shameless Washers of
his congues's. He is foul blot upon
society, Disgrace To his Sex and all
insult Ia the human race. His brains
were put in nn The homeopathic plan.
and are only half doses at that. He
has no Iaudable ambition, no worthy
traits of character. no cOmmendable
aim in life and no sense, but staggers
along basking in the sun of his own
Jay Gould couldn't buy
him at the figules at which he estimates
his worth, but his actual worth is
only such that any man with a dis
abIed yellow dog would get cheated
in trading for him even up. This is
the correct picture of the masher.
You can see him every evening
lOunging on the corners along Main
street Go and look at him closely,
size him up carefully and you will
agree with us that we have described
him accurately. We wonder that the
city council does not declare him a
nuisance and impound him in some
kind o.. a pen until his papa re-
deems him and takes him home and
spanks him.-Evansville Argus.
He Wasn't That Sort Of a Mourner.
