Last Resorts of les MiserabIes.

A well-dressed man entered O mar
ket street pawnshop and quietly put
ting his hand TO his mouth took out a
full set of upper teeth, bound together
with plate OF pure gold. After he
had rubbed them on his handkerchief
he handed them slyly to The clerk, and
said in stage whisper: ......
Five dollars.
The clerk handed the man tho mon.
ey and ticket, and he slipped quietly
out of the door.
That mans been here three times
to-day" said the clerk. THE first
time he left his gold watch and chain.
The second time he left his diamond
stud and ring. I've advanced him
money on his false teeth before. He's
poor poker player. He'll be back for
the teeth and the other things Monday
or Tuesday"
"Do you usually lend money on false
teethp" was asked.

do. A couple of medical students used
to come here who got hard mp about

all their spare clothing and all their

bundle and found human skeleton.
All the bones were STRUNG on silver
wire. Knowing them well. I let them
have the money and carried the skele-
ton upstairs in the store-room, where
II stood in the corner month before
they came after it.
Several times I've had women try
to pawn babies. It's common thing
for men to come in here on bitter cold
days and take off their overcoats and
pawn them. A handsome young wo-
man walked in here this morning and
taking off II seaiskin sacque pawned it
for $40. '--MHadciphia Times.

a Touching Story.


When, in 1866, my niece. Miss Janet
S H--g, was at the boarding school
OF Miss H. Avenue de Neuiily, she
had lessons in painting from NJ. H n.
At the beginning of the session he told
my niece few. anecdotes about his IL
tie Scotch terrier called ''Mcdorc. De
was obliged TO leave Paris for Il time.
and, not being able TO take the dog
with him, left 1t in charge OF friend.
BY some curious chance the friend was
called suddenly to st. Petersburg, and,
not knowing what to do with the little
creature, took 1t with him. Both man
and dog reached ST. Peter, burg safely;
but shortly after their arrival the dog
was lost, anu, though every effort was
made to recover il, Nj. HIS friend
was obliged to write and say tina,
"Medoren was hopclessly lost. About
the end Of May, some months after the
letter had been received. NJ. HI

and bruises. had persisted in scraping
at his door; aud the servants, being an.
noycd by its persistence, kicked the
dog down stairs repeatedly. But as
soon as it recovered from its fall 1t re,
turned 10 the door, and renewed tho
scratching. Whenever NJ. Hi en-
tered or left the house, the dog kept
jumping upon him and trying In every
way to attract his attention. At las,
an idea flashed across his mind. Could
this MISUNDERSTANDING animal BIO by
any possible chance the dog which had
been lost at ST. Petersburgp He fixed
his eyes upon it, and said "Medore.
The dog gave piercing cry, and fell
at his feet. He picked 1t up, carried

"Eh!-I do ask We that, Lizzie. Ye've

''An' that have |, T" she cried hotly.

"Ye mean the Clucas girlp" The
young man started and stood erect be-

with anger, not with shame. "And she

Lizzie gave no answer.

When The two walked bacS amongst
the crowd. the wild, careless Nan Gu

other laughed, and took this rs sign
that there had been lovers quarrel OF

her solly to task. Never again would
she be so foolish, never again could she
think thought against her lover.
Perhaps that was the time when Tom
settled how long she should go on
working at the net factory; il was not
long. To leave the factory meant 40
many things.
