as il was the means OF preventing him
from marrying a young and beautiful
heiress, on hearing of the wonderful
hair restorer, sought an interview with
its discoveCer at his private residence,
and consented to have his scalp operated
on forthwith. The gutter merchant
then unblushingly assures his
hearers that, although only one sin
gle bottle OF his restorer was used
upon the old mans shiny pate,
so powerful and so sudden was the eff
feet of its application. that before ar
irving home that day he had to drop
into DO less than three barber shops to

A familiar figure Of the buster
streets of North London Is a gutter
vender who, although negro
with face as black as midnight, com
mands such an acquaintance with the
English vocabulary and possesses the
gift Of ''patter" to such an extraordinary
extent that he not only ends ready
sale for his articles, but in many in
stances, by means Of banter, argument
and powerful delivery, literally shames
people into giving him their money,
whether they require his wares or not.
He is generally economically dressed
in a red shirt, slouched hat and knee
boots. The whole of his stock, which
consists Of penny brass finger rings, he
carries in his capacIous pants pockets.
He tells his hearers, with a charming
assumption of candor, that he will not
say they are solid twenty-five carat
gold; no such thing. He merely claims
that they are in every respect equal to
gold, and he gently hints that perhaps
they are even better than the precious
metal itself, as they can afford no temp
tction to pawn; while, If you lose them,
you lose but penny.

made in a country where they works
for no wages, and lives on nothink."
His starting price is usually four or
five shillings, gradually diminishing
and becoming beautifully less, however,
till at last, no buyers being forthcom-
ing, he assumes the air of one about to
make a terrible sacrifice, and then in
tone Of truly tragic emphasis, he cries:
"'Ero, last time of asking y
the price he was willing to take from
the very first. There is ono street pat

and very faded and shiny coat, who
establishes his little shop, a tray on

tablets of soap-hke substance for clean
