CHAPTER II.
wAYsIDE FLOWERS.

|
The Rue Git lie Ceur Is not one Of the
fashionable streets of Paris. 1t does not
belong to the English quarter, or the Ameri.
can quarter, or the Legitimlst quarter, or
the Diplomatic quarter; the quarter Art, or
| Learning, of Science, or the DENT monde.
Beauty and fashion never visit the spot. 1t
has hardly place on the map of Paris.
! And yet, like many another such streets, 1t
is a little world in itself, and human beings
are born and die in it, and passions pure
and holy, and base and wicked, are nourish-
ed and fostered there; and comedies and
tragedies are acted there, turn by turn, as
the wedding feast is spread, or the funeral
drapery hung out, black and limp and dis
NAL, against the dingy door-posts.
Git le C9ur Is narrow shabby little
street. hidden somewhere in the densely
populated district between the Boulevard
st. Michel and the Rue DIES Saints Peres. 1t
is near tile DUAL DIES Augustus, which makes
pleasant promenade for its inhabitants on
summer evenings, near the river, within
sight Of the mighty towers Of Notre Dame,
within sound of her deep-toned bells. Ii is
near the MOrgue, and not very far from the
hospitals; near the flower-market; near
much that Is central and busy, closely hem
med round with the teeming life Of the
workaday world of Paris; but very far from
the haunts Of pleasure, from the famous
restaurants, from clubs and cafes, from
parks and parterres, from opera-house and
aristOcratlc hotel.
1t Is narrow street--croOked too-and
the houses are Of the shabbiest. In one Of
these houses, house which lay back from
the street, and, with three others, formed a
stony quadrangle, enclosing little yard,
dwelt Rose and Kathleen 0'Hara, two sis
tiers of Irish parentage the daughters Of a
poor Irish gentleman, who had come here
from the good city of Bruges in Flanders,
Just twelve years ago, and had occupied the
same little apartment on the third story ever
since. Just nineteen years ago Captain
O'Hara was living with a young second wife
and o seven-year-old daughter, the issue Of
his first marriage, in the city OF Brussels.
He had been in the army, in the S7th Irish
Fusileers, had run through his little patri-
mOny, and had sold his commission, and
thrown himself almost penniless on the
world, after the manner Of many other gen.
tlemen, English as we'll as Irish. Twice
had he married in ten years, and twice for
love. Nothing could have been more hon
orable or less prudent than either marriage;
and now he was living from hand to mouth
In furnished lodgings in Brussels, writing a
little for the English newspapers getting a
little help now and then from his own fami.
ly, and now and then ten-pOund note from
wealthy maiden aunt of his wife's-the
aunt from whose handsome house in the
Circus, Bath, pretty Kathleen Reilly had
run away with her handsome Captain. The
aunt had not forgiven or taken her back tt
favor; but she sent little help occasional
ly out OF sheer charity, and always accom-
panied by lecture which gave favor Of
bitterness to the boon.

An On Account Of n Toad.

An amusing episode, in which big
lie, atoad and Minneapolis travelling
man were the chief actors, took place
last Sunday in Western New York.
says the Minneapolis Tribune. The
travelling man is A. D. Ireland, living
at 1907 Hennepin avenue On the day
mentioned he visited farmer uncle
in part of the Empire State aud was a
little inclined to draw the long bow in
regard to the wonders OF the Western
country, which his relative had never
seen.
"Now, Ireland. tell me what was
the largest corn field you ever saw in
the WestP" inquired the uncle as they
were sitting out in front OF the house.
Ireland meditated q moment and
then replied: The largest field OF
corn ever saw out there was on the
Missouri bottoms. 1t was twenty-five
miles long"
Before the recording angel had made
u black mark opposite the narrator's
name the toad-one OF the big warty
fellows-hopped out from under the
porch and looked up at him with {
sinister CLEAN in its beady eyes.
THE devilm calculated Ireland,
without completing the exaggerated
dimension OF the field. I'm take /
all back, uncle; that field was only tel
miles long"
Then the toad hoped back unde

A Oueer Bank Note.

Probably one of the queerest de-
vices ever put on a bank note check

by banking firm at DEVILS Lake,

standing upright entwined with a
ribbon. the band bearing the inserip-
ton; No. hard wheat In hoe

resting on its edge was a good repre-
sOntation OF one OF Uncle Sans silver
dollars. The face OF the dollar bore
an eagle, a map of DEVILS Lake, a
plat of the city Of DEVILS Lake,

letters OF Omitted" being hidden by
the map OF the lake, which extends to

a spear in his right the head OF the
spear resting directly against the edge
OF the plat of the city. The words

light.

The first reception of the NuShka club
in their pretty new home on Western
avenue was in the form of an old-fash-
toned donation party; that is, each
member brought something to beautify
the club rooms. The result was a
rather heterogeneous collection of
gifts, but all were pretty and no doubt
will add largely to the attractiyenesS OF
the house.
The rooms were prettily decorated
with flowers. In the parlor on the left
of the hall two pretty tables were set,
each with its adornment Of lovely china,
tall candles with rosy shades, and at
one Miss Finch poured coffee, at the
other Miss Lamborn poured tea. In
the library arrangements were made
for the cOncoctiOn of that pungent, but
elusive dish. Welsh rarebit There
also was the table on which
the members, like the troubled
III the old story, cast their
gifts. The members of the club
were nearly all present, and the sound
of clicking balls told the story Of how
most OF them were employed.
The reception committee, consisting
of Mrs. Elmer, Mrs. Ordway, Mrs. Nor
ton, Mrs. Jaggard, Miss Newport, Miss
Finch, Miss LambOrn, Miss SturgiS,
Miss Noyes. Mr.. Boyle, Lieut.. Sturgs,
MI. Wall, Mr.. Newport and Mr. Reed,
did all in their power to make the affair
a success, and one has only to mention
these women and men to assure the
most skeDtical cavalier of the result OF
their gracious efforts.

NI'GEE's FINE POINT.

Ills Eloquence in Defense of
Places OF Bad Repute.
The case against Minnie Baldwin, as
keeper of house of ill-fame on East
Seventh street, and Clara Young and
Agnes Brock, charged with visiting the
Jame,iS attracting more than modicum
Of interest in the city. The municipal
court rooms were crowded yesterday
afternoon when the case came up for
hearing. There was some evidence
taken, when the case was continued I'M
til Wednesday,.
Lawyer McGee appeared for the de-
fendant, and he raised an objection to
the law that it is not incumbent upon
the state to show beyond the fact that
a house has bad reputation to prove
that it is bagnio. He insisted that it
is bad law, and urged that the state
must show that crime has actually
been committed and not 20 upon the
hypothesis that if house has a bad
reputation it must f0rsooth stand con-
clusively that 10 is a house OF ill-fame.
1t is a fine point. and decision will be
given Wednesday.
