impress of his establishment. They
are somewhat numerous; but you, Mr.. !
Gimp, will have no objection to redeem
for me the various articles specified in

The little lawyers eyeglasses fell
from his nose. "I-John Gimp-in
pawnshop!"
lncorrigible Dick only lay back in his
chair and laughed.
Meanwhile, our two young people at
the other end of the room went on
chatting to themselves.
And now | supposed am in Bohe-
miap" said Miss Deene.
"And now you are in Bohemia" said
Frank.
How do the denizens of this strange
country liveP"
They exist; they don't live in the
ordinary sense of the word. They
paint pictures that seldom find buyers.
They write plays that no manager will
look at. There are great actors and
great musicians among them, only the
public is too pig-headed TO recognize
their genius. They are always more or
less hard up; generally more. They
smoke great deal. They also drink
whisky, when they can get it-four-
penny ale when they can't. They are
never down-hearted, though they don't
always know where to-morrow's dinner
is to come from. They help one anoth-
er, as good fellows ought to do. When
Jack Is lucky enough TO pick up ten
pound note, Tom and Harry come in
for share of it: and when Harry's
picture finds customer, be sure his
friends are not forgotten"
"Were ! a man. should like to be
Bohemian" said Miss Deene with a
sparkle in her dark eyes.
"How much nicer 70 earn five hun
dred year in the city, and not be Bo-
hemian!" I .....
By this time, Dick was beginning to
feel trihe bored. He cast one or two
longing glances at his meerschaum, but
Mr.. Pebworth held him as the Ancient
Mariner held the Wedding Guest.
"You will probably, my dear Frank"
he said, "be desirous Of investing some
portion Of your surplus income in one
or other of these gigantic commercial
enterprises which form such q promi-
nent feature of the wonderful era in
which we live."
"That sounds exactly like a bit out
of one of his own prospectuses, muir
INJURED Mr.. Gimp to himself.
"Of one such enterprise" continued
Mr.. Pebworth, II have the honor to be
chairman. | allude to The Patent Bot
tied Ozone Company; Chief Offices, 4S
Threadncedle Court, City,
1.-The Patent what Company, uncle?"
asked Dick.
1.-The Patent Bottled Ozone Com
pany. Hem! The association in ques-
tion may be briefly described as one of
those happy combinations of philan-
thropy with hard cash which are, alas!
too seldom met with in this sublunary
sphere. We do good to our fellow
creatures, and fill our own pockets at
the same time"
"a truly pleasant combination. But
what may be the specific objects of the
Company"
"They are readily explained. BY
means of recent discoveries in chemical
science, we are enabled to eliminate
pure ozone from the other component
parts of the atmosphere, and TO bottle it
up for transmission to any part Of the
world. To invalids, to children, to peo-
pie of moderate means who can not
afford visit TO the seaside. our bottled
ozone will prove an inestimable boon.
BY its means you may enjoy all the nd
vantages derivable from visit to
Brighton or Scarborough without cross
ing your own threshold. Hemr'
"The prospectus again." whispered
the lawyer to himself.
