Tracv's hand went down into his pocket

hsichtened satisfaction. There was an un-
comfortable pause-then he forced out, with
difficulty, the words:
'I've-been robbed
Old Marshs eyes famed up with Spanish
fire, and he exclaimed:
Robbed, is it? That's your tune? It's
zoo old-been played in this house too
often; everybody plays it that can't get
work when he wants it, and won't work
when he can get il. Trot out Mr.. Allen,
somebody, and let him take a toot at it. It's
his turn next; he forgot, too, last night.
I'm laying for him.
One of the negro women came scrambling
downstairs, as pale as a sorrel horse with
CONSIDERATION and excitement.
"NIisto Marsh, Misto Aliens skipped
out"
"Whatr'
'Yes-sah, an cleaned out his room clean;
tuck bofe towels an de SOAP"
"You lie, you hussy!''

with sarcasm.
"a cablegram-think of it, ladies and
gents-he's expecting a cablegram. He's
expecting a cablegram-this duffer, this
scrub this blk. From his father, eh? Yes,
without doubt. A dollar or two a word
oh, that's nothing-they don't mind little
Now his father is-er-well, reckon his
father"
'Mv father is an English Earl"
The crowd fell back aghast-aghast at the
Eublimity of the young loafer's ''cheek. I"
Then they burst into a laugh that made the
windows rattle. Tracy was too angryNo
realize that he had done q foolish thing.
He said:
''Stand aside, please. L"
''Wait q minute, your lordship," said
Marsh, bowing low, "uhere is your lordship
going?"
For the cablegram. Let me pass"
Excuse me, your lordsnip, you'll stay

Tracy made step toward the old man,
but Mrs. Marsh sprang between, and said:
Don't, Mr.. Tracy, please She turned
to her husband and said: "Do bride your
tongue. What has he done to be treated so?
Can't you see he has lost his mind with
