While Captain Foster was swapping lies
with Ned Fry, out at the Cliff House, San
Francisco, last week, Oscar drove up with
Mr.. Look, and, taking a stained glass atti-
tude on the balcony, was for some minutes
lost in the contemplation of the grand old
ocean breaking on the cliffs far down below
him. How grand the roar OF the ocean,
he said, dreamily, to the captain.
The captain was little taken back, but
agreed that it was.
Would any price be too great for the
| glory OF watching hour by hour, and day by

summer and the grand turbulence of the

while Oscar sighed unheeded, asked Fry
Fry what kind of a canary bird it was, any
how.
After time they went to the bar, where
Oscar ordered "some milk, fresh from ma

ers took little lemon in theirs. Then Fry
aud the captain and another gentleman sat
down TO play dollar ante"
"What eeZe dollar ante?" said Oscar,
dreamlly, in mezzo-soprano sigh They
explained.

"Of course" and they gave him a seat
and chuckled way down in their bronchial
tubes.
A great sadness was upon him. Some
times an unutterable melancholy would fill
with dark shadows his dreaming eyes, but
he said lttle--only sighed. Captain Eos

And the captain joined the merry throng.

most weepingly laid down four deuces.
And when the captain had flung his cards
out of the window, and Fry was making the
air blue with interjections, oscar winked
