About an hour later the Juggling at my finger
again aroused me and discovered my friend, the
wreck, sitting up. blinking rapidly and drinking
eociaoly with dark-skinned Turk on a neighbor-

The Turk bowed in grave endorsement at this

-Nothin' finer" said the wreck, sagely. Then
It was after O'Clock when we arrived but no
one was there. The habits OF the host were well
known He looked at the big table In an upper
room OF the little restaurant, and nnding that
things We're as they should be-they always are
In Parts-he pulled three chairs up TO the window
and We watched the show for a time.
At the farther end OF the garden was the stage.
Variety actors succeeded one another as the time
wore on The feminine performers pulled their
skirts up above their waists whenever an opportu-
nifty for dance occurred. and the songs and
''wttticisIns' or the men were full OF the smut
which plays so prominent part on the Partisan
stage. Scattered about on the grass were chairs
and tables. The entrance fee was nothing, but
whoever took a chair or ordered drink had TO pay

British tourists were protesting loudly and
angrily about this in one corner while the
French spectators looked on In polite

dinner. There were three men with them-a
Brazilian sporting man who had spent a million
dollars trying TO set Paris on IRE and had nothing
left TO show Tor IL but ruddy sunset glow on the
popular old-time Wall street brokers, who had
swfndled his friends and run OF with a clever
and a Miiw aukee wine agent with one eye.
The plumper Of the two actresses was gazing
into the Brazilian eyes OF the South American
bankrupt.

"You sweede leedie nouze," said the Brazilian
absently srroking her tousled yellow hair. II

THE DINNER.
The party was dragged into the big room by the
wreck, and we all sat down 70 dinner except the
dead brokers' son, who retired In hun after a tin

GOING THE BOUNDS.
An elaborate dinner was served during the two
hours that followed, amid hubbub OF voices that
drowned the music on the stage. The Turk, the
