When Properly Applied.
A middle aged woman was wsShing base
ment windows in house on Twenty eighth
street, near Third avenue when she was
suddenly startled by voice which accosted
her with:
"Juliet didn't clean windows, but she
wouldn't have been amy the less lady for
30 doing. A lady to the manor born
manor, If you please-is lady under all
circumstances"
| She looked at him as she wrung out the
cloth in a pail of clean water, but made no
reply.
"Seedy genteel is the verdict, my BESIDE
mona, and it exactly hits the case. That's
me. Been travelling on my uppers of late,
| you know. N. C. in capital letters, which
means no cash. No Casino banker-no
diamond set prospects ahead. All have
is my character for industry, integrity and
love for the human race. Savoy, my
princessp
She rubbed up and down and crosswise
with her cloth. but did not even look at
him.
Case is just this" he continued, rs he
sat down on the railing and removed his
hat to wipe his brow 81 struck Yutica a
u.
something soothing there-something to
sort o. lull my weary soul into state OF
calm repose. Ever been in Yutica'"
She was ready to wiring out the cloth
again, and she soused it up and down in
the water and had no word of reply.
Beautiful city," he went on, "but the
inhabitants thereof are inclined to be over
particular with strangers. Couldn't strike
job there to save my life, and cheek
finally played out. Chief of police asked
me as a personal favor to disappear, and 1
Obliged him. A pointer, my fairy queen:
Always oblige the police when it don't cost
you red to do so. Prestol changed Which
in the Grecian language signifies, From
Yutica to New York on the bumpers Do
you follow me, BeatriceS"
She changed over to the other window,
and went rubl rubi rubi and gave him not
the least attention.
Like the town irst rate as far as have
peregrinated around" he went on, using
the lining of his hat to wipe his nose.
"Does peregrinated strike you as too rich
for the season. No. Well, then, let me
further state that | feel en- rapport with
Gotham. Felt sort o. nil desperandum
when first got in, but Pm all o. X. now.

Did | hear a motion to ADJOURN"
He probably didn't, as her cloth went
wipel wipel wipei and her back was toward
him.
"But delenda est Carthage, as used to
remark in St Louis. To come to the point
at once, and to secure a clearer and more
satisfactory understanding between us, LET
me assume the interrogatory. May be 8
little rich for this locality. but have al
ways been noted for lberality. Now, then

straight out from the shoulder, and means
Got any grub in the kitchen for traveller

She rose up and dropped the wet clotf
into the pail with a "spat," gave her hand,
a wipe on her apron and disappeared int
the basement. Two minutes later she re
turned with a good sized sandwich and ;
couple of pickles, and handing them Il
him without so much as a look, she souse,
the cloth in the pail and went on with he

"Alterum alterius auxilo eget," salutet
the man as he removed his hat. I'm othe
