The Bowery is something less than .
mile in length. 1t reaches from Chatham
square to the little wedge in front Of the
Cooper Union ut Eighth street which splits
Il in twain, sending one-hnlf up town to b
the great Third avenue and one-hah close
beside it to be the Fourth avenue. Il has
the width of both these wide avenues TO-
gether. Its width varies, as becomes an
ancient thoroughfare, but think 1t aver
ages more than 100 feet from house line to
house line, sixty-five feet being the road
way. II you are a stranger, and walk down
the Bowery in the daytime without .
guide, you will be apt to notice nothing
more particular about 1t than that it b an
enormous, crowded. noisy street of retail
shops, lodging houses and museums.
ANY old New Yorker will show you some
very old and respectable shops-notably q
grocer's, bakers and a shop for the sup
ply of firemen's goods-which were estab-
lished there in the days of other genera
hons. But these are not 30 interesting to
q stranger as the many little stores that
give a distinct character to the street. Ex-
cent in the main street Of Havre, never
saw so many shops for the sale of jewelry
as there are on the Bowery. Most of them
display new, cheap and fashy ornaments;
half a dozen are what are called pawn
brokers' sales shops, or shops for the sale
of unredeemed pledges; one is a mart for
duplicated presents received by persons on
their wedding days or on anniversary oc-
casions.-Julian Ralph in Century.

Felix made out check for the watch.
Dobson offered Felix two rings and
chain, and after some bargaining the deal
was made.
In each case tickets were given.
We then passed on to half dozen pawn
shops. In one we sold the dress suit for
seven dollars, the boxing gloves and foils
went for two dollars more and two more
rings were disposed of at $50. Tickets
were obtained in each instance.
In the next half hour we had sold three
more watches, the marine glass, the razors,
the clothes-and all that remained was the
set of surgical instruments. These proved
difficult to dispose of to any advantage, but
finally Mr.. Dobson let them pass at close
sacrifice.
Mr. Dobson, his goods all placed, dis
posed Of the two satchels at fair figure,
and was now ready for his business proper
as broker in pawn tickets. He eyed them
narrowly, wondering how much profit
there was in them.
We counted over the tickets and found
that they were sixteen in number and ag-
gregated seventy-fve dollars, face value.
It was now about o'clock. "Come with

Next the pawn ticket broker led me to .
saloon where he was known. There was
large crowd sitting at the tables. MI. Dob

which time l saw him offer ticket after
ticket, here and there, to the men at the
tables, all the while explaining in . low
tone the value of his goods.
When we went out he had sold five tick
cts, making something on each. the net
profit being $50.
AS we passed along, the genial broker
never missed his opportunity to greet a
| friend and offer tickets In an hour he had
sold two more.
Then business became somewhat de-
pressed. In the next two hours only one
ticket was sold.
Mr. Dobson then visited In quick success
sion half q dozen saloons whore he was
known favorably.

of the entire sixteen tickets at . profit Of
