Really, Jack, 'twould appear that dry sorrow
Had done even you, sir, a wrong.

Is it Mabel or Jenny or Nell?
I'm sure you are wrong; hold my cloak, sir.
Am not an old friend? Come now, tell.
The prince of our set broken hearted!
What a joke! Who rejected you? Speak,
Did you look like that, Jack, when you
parted?
Was that palor Of death on your cheek?
You interest me. Tell me about it,
And let your old chum, sir, console.
Hard hit in the heart, don't doubt it;
You were made for that sort of role.
Did you bend on your knee like an actor,
Hardly knowing just where to begin?
Was dear mammals consent the main factor?
What a fool the poor girl must have been!
Who was she? What! I-you were jealous?
Oh, Jackl who'd have thought such thing?
You've been certainly not overzealous,
But, kiss me, and where is the ring?

CHAPTER III.
THE STORY OF THE THIRD PIKE.

CHAPTER III.
THE STORY OF THE THIRD PIKE.
After another ibation poured to the
''rosy god," the third Pike, who was
called 'Lige, said: Il never had no ad-
venturs, bein alters engaged in trade
and specerlation, but Bud Crowner's ac-
count of his performin turtles naturally
brings to mind my great tarrapin spec
erlation. Hearin of the big prices that
was bein paid for tarrapin stews in
| Washoe and California in the airly and
flush times of the silver mines by min
ing superintenders, big lawyers, sports
and highfiers in gineral, concluded to
make bold stroke for fortin.
II collected all the tarrapin | could
find in Missouri; then had brought to me
all that the niggers and white trash in
Kaintucl1y, Tennessee and Arkansaw
could sleer up. When all the tarrapin
had come in they covered four sections
of land as thick as the cobblestones in
an old st. Louis pavement. All the peo-
pie for fifty miles around come to see
the sight. Every son of gun of 'em
tried to pump me to find out what was
goin to do with them four sections of
tarrapin. kept mum or told 'em lies,
Not soul suspected that was preparin
to make a great tarrapin drive acrost the
plains to Washoe and California.
"When | got ready to start my drove
! found | couldn't do the fust thing
toards gittin 'em in line. When I'd start
quarter section OF so of 'em ahead the
rest would begin movin out sideways,
and would soon be so scattered that
had to raise all the niggers in the county,
big and little, to go round 'em, whip 'em
in and get 'em massed agin.
CATER three OF four attempts at start.
in the drove an ole niger came into my
camp one night bout midnight. His han
was white as wool and he looked more'n
a hundred year old. He Wore sort Of
hreechclout made of 'possum skins, but
nary another stitch of duds. The ole
| feller stood over six feet high and was
straight as an arrer. He looked bout
the same as any other ole niger, except
his head and face, which made me think
OF a big snappin turtle.
"By rattle the ole feller had in his

An old and quaint little woman sells
pies and tarts in Exchange place, just
off Broad street. She brings her stock
down town early in the morning in a
large basket and arranges it upon a
piece of oilcloth spread in the street
close to the curb. Her customers are
mostly brokers' messenger boys, and,
unlike the typical district telegraph
boy, they are usually in hurry, Min
utes are precious in the delivery of
stocks, checks or orders to buy, and the
brokers' boy generally times himself
while eating his modest luncheon. For
the especial benefit of such customers
the quaint little pie woman keeps tiny
clock, which bangles from the handle of
her basket, and tells each boy just how
much time he devotes to the absorption
of pastry. The average boy can devour
a five cent pie in about one minute
