their COARSE soto voce tests among
themselves.
The sweepers ut the street crossings
sometimes make fair wages out Of the
tips which passing pedestrians are
pleased to bestow upon them. One,
who holds the fort at the top of Regent
street, recently died, and IN inventory
of his worldly wealth developed the
fact that he had accumulated about G45
by means of such quantities. There
were sweepers ready to give G3 or G4
for the position.
When the double execution took
place at Newgate last week I arose early
and went down to see the black flag
raised over the wall of the famous old
jail.
The hanging was TO occur at 8 o'clock.
Five minutes before the appointed hour I
was elbowing my way through the crowd
of curious men, women and children to
a spot where the ceremony might be
witnessed. 1t is sometimes tedious to
tarry for a belated train or to wait for
the rising of the curtain in q theater;
but such tedium is not to be compared
to the oppressive awe that settles down
owe a crowd of people who are waiting
for a death knell. What an experience
must have been that of the guilty wretch
es within, to whom the seconds of each
minute were as the decades which go to
make up a century!
At length the 8 o'clock bells began to
toll on all sides. When the latest one
had tolled its last stroke the thin black
flag appeared above the trowning wall,
and quickly climbed TO the summit of
the ffteen-foot mast, Orrock and
Harris were no more. The silence was
now broken by the undertone comments
of the people as they slowly dispersed;
and I heard one bootblack say to anoth-
er, gloomily:
We'll, Jack, two more old pals are
gone"

| counter l called for five gill bottles OF
rum and when the storekeeper set them
out I invited the ez champions to drint
with 1ne. All came forward, and
knocking the neck off one ofthe bottles,
l poured about a thimbleful of rum into
a glass and, raising it, said:
"~Gentlemen, l am the champion

"Fink's eyes flashed fire and raising
his own glass he replied:
"l beg your pardon, sir, you're a

with that he dashed his glass to the
floor and we clinched. Never l recken,
was a battle more stubbornly contested.
Around and around the store we fought
casks and barrels were overturned,
boxes emptied, bottles and jars broken
and their contents scattered IN all dlreC-
tions. The store-keeper began to yell
murder and cry for a constable, but the
door was locked, the key was in my
pocket and he couldn't get out. 1reCk-

our clothes were torn from our
bodies and blood streamed from our

seized Fink around the waist and seat
ing him on the great stove that
was now red hot, held him there.
1t was not until his flesh began
to sizzle that he cried Enough! and l
released him. He had received the
worst oftbe fight. Two of his ribs were
broken his wrist was dislocated and he
was bruised and gashed from head to
foot. He fell to the floor in a FAINT, and
picking him up / carried him across the
street to a hotel, laid him on a bed and
sent for a doctor, to whom | became
responsible for the bill. When I came
there to receive me, for the news that l
had whipped Mike Fink had spread like
wildfre. l requested three responsible
citizens to appraise the damage done by
us in the supply store and then asked
the stOrekeeper to make out his bill. 1t
amounted to forty odd dollars. / paid
one half of it and got his receipt. Then,
with the bill in my hand, l went across
the street to where Fink was lying prop
ped up in bed.
Fink, 1 said, I'll pay your doctors
bill, for l bruised you up. Here is a
bill for the damage done by us in the

He promised to pay and when he re-
covered from his wounds we became
good friends. When spring opened we
joined fortunes.
