THE CHARMING WIDOW.

How She Impressed a Hard Hearted
Storekeeper, as She Always Does, with
Her Dainty Sobs and fearful Chances.
She was pretty and sweet, SO much
so that the several clerks nearly broke
their necks in struggling to see who
would be the one to wait on her, but
she ignored them all, and, sitting down
on stool, drew from her pocket a
handkerchief which she held in readiness
for an application to her eyes, and sent
for the manager. He soon came up to
the lady, who, with the handkerchief to
one eye, flashed the other brilliant orb
at his, and told her story thusly:
"Mr. B, Charley, my husband
(sob,) is dead and have no suitable
(snitf1e) mourning. | came down to
see (gulp) if you would trust me for a
(sob) mourning outfit :" [Sniffie. }
Here the other eye was hid behind the
handkerchief, while kind of cold chill
shudder passed over her.
'.But, my dear madame, Idon't know
you. 1t would be rather departing
from our rules to comply with your re-
quest" replied Mr.. B, politely.
''How much of a bill did you wish to
buy?n
Il want (sob) everything as nice
(sniffie) as I can get (sob) about (an-
other sniffie) 5000, 1 (sob) guess.

sWell, in a case of that kind of
course we will trust you; we can pre-

riage."

up nice. Don't you think l win look
nice in mourning?"
Mr. b looked into her eyes, his
heart began to jump, and thinking dis
cretion the better part of valor, he
assured her that her order would be
filled and the lady departed smiling.
Mr.. b after the flash OF the pretty
widows eyes would have filed thous-
and dollar order and paid it out of his
own pocket. He is bald-headed.-
