her manager out of the window he rang
the curtain down upon her hotel career.
Mr.. Gallagher was seated in his private

with a thud which startled him. The
doors opened with clash, and Billy, the
elevator boy, exclaimed. "She's murtherin'

'she," and. running to the elevator. he
pulled the ropeand was soon elevated to
the fourth floor. down which he walked
with the stride which becomes a
landlord to room II. He did not
wait to knock, but turning the handle
he pushed the door with his shoulder,
thinking it was locked. and fell sprawling
into the room. He soon regained his feet,
however. but not mis- composure. for

Hamed Al Williams was lying on his back
near the window. and Omene, "tne Ori-

she might win back the friendship Of the
hotsl proprietor.
She left her room and descended to the
paror where she encountered the man
ager, and, webbing up to him hula-hula
fashion, besought him to allow her to re-
main in the hotel that night. The man
ager silently and thoughtfully pondered
the situation, while she thrummed the
floor with No. 5 awaiting his pleasure.

tude which would make a stump orator
blush with envy he said:

hence before the morrow's dawn. You
may remain till then, but. remember, no

chandelier with her foot. the bangle on her
ankle clinkiDg and jingling to the motions
Of the limb in the air. She soon retired. at
the earnest request Of the clerk, and left
the hotel, to the great satisfaction of the
inmates. before dawn in company with
the man whom she had threatened to
throw out of the window.
