full rent in those lavender pants, the great
blotch on that hitherto immaculate shirt
front and CRIME Oh the coat, when the poor
fellow arose, was something fearful to be-
hold. With the assistance of his journal
istic friend the club man jumped into a
hack and was driven at furious pace to
his home. leaving the newspaper man to
make apologies to his companion in the box
and to see that she got safely home. The
next day our friend got caught on the short
side of wheat to the amount of nearly
$4,000. Friday he left nearly 81, 200 in
the hands of felIow-club members in less
than two hours in quiet game of draw
Saturday his favOrite horse foundered and
died. But Monday brought the climax. A
sweet-scented mssive from the idol of his
heart informed him that she was indisposed
and that she could not receive him as usual
on Sunday night. Not caring to 60 down
to his club he lounged into beer garden,
where there were plenty OF good music,
pretty girls and all other accessories that
constitute the attractions of such places.
His eyes CHANGED to fall on a roguish
pair OF blue eyes, set in bright face that
seemed familiar to him, but he could not
recall where he had seen it before. The
owner of the face willingly flirted with the
handsome fellow. and soon the twain were

pony beers. Pressed as to her identity and
where the two hao met before, the saucy
maiden refused to answer. At 10 o'clock
the girl arose to 60 home with the club man
for an escort, but she permitted him to &C
company only part of the way, dismissing
him without the kiss he claimed. Thus re-
buffed he went home, thinking, no doubt,
that he had passed very pleasant evening
IN A HARMLESS LIMITATION.
Monday afternoon he drove to the home
of his intended to inquire if she had recov-
cred from her illness OF Sunday. and was
ushered into the reception room instead of
the coy back parlor, as was the usual GUS
tom. The rustlng OF skirts warned him Of
the approach of the lady's mother, with an
expression of extreme frigidity on her coun-
tenance. Miss - begged to be excused
from seeing Mr.. -, as she was not in the
habit OF receiving gentlemen who f1irted
with chambermaids in beer gardens, accom-
panied them home, and then offered to kiss
them good night. If Mr.. - will kindly
return the little mementOes exchanged dur
ing the acquaintanceship, and also accept
this "a packet Of notes and few trinkets)
he will confer a favor on Miss -. Turn
ing she left the poor fellow, who finally got
the idea through his head that the familiar

night was none other than Miss IS maid
of all work, and the little wretch was so
ticked to think that she had succeeded in
flirting with her mistress future husband
that she wagged her little tongue too freely
among the other servants, and as matter
of course the story soon reached the mis-
tress of the house. Rumor now has it that
the club man is preparing for European
tour, to be prolonged indefinitely, while
Miss - and her mother will spend the
ensuing season in Washington. There's
dearth of hilarity in the atmosphere since
the st. Paul aldermen went home,
and an air of funeral solemnity about the
Grand Pacific hotel, in spite of the crowds
that are attending the half-dozen conven-
tons now in session here. The front row
at McVicker's is deserted, the Buckingham
looks lonely, and the occupants of the city
hall are longing for an interruption such as
they had last week.
Burras is still in jail, the efforts of the
st. Paul gentlemen who interested them
selves in his behalf having proved unavail-
ing. The two women, victims of Burras'
revolver, remain at the county hospital and
will both undoubtedly recover, the phys-
clans reporting marked improvement each
day. Burras is still moody and refuses to
talk to reporters who he says are all
prejudced against him, and claims that
when he comes to trial his shooting of the
women will be found justifable. CHENEY.
