4 Kind Housemaid.

A quiet young man occupied the rear hall
bedroom on the third floor OF a FOrty-irst
street boarding house. He was q pleasant,
ingenious youth. and he evidently had not
been long in New York, for he had number
of knickknacks with him and tried 10 make
his room look attractive On lbs bureau was
the photograph Of a very pretty girl, taste
fully framed, which he seemed 10 regard
with considerable affection. Returning from
business one evening he noticed with much
surprise that the photograph was gone, and
! Immediately proceeded IN search OF the
| chambermaid for an explanation.

and bed quilts appeared, what have YOU
done with the picture that always stood u

"Sure, and put it in yer trunk Yell find
It in the second tray below thin fancy
