He was gotten up regardlessiy
To pay his early call
His thoughts were dire ana dark wisA,n
Discourteous TO fate;
"Ah, me, these social debts incurred
Are hard to liquldate."
His boots are slender, long and trim
His collar tail and swell.
His hats were made by Dunlap,
And his coats were cut by Bell;
A symphony In black and white.

Yet he fingered on his way
He would that he had died.
His feet caressed the lonely way,
The pave gave forth no sound;
They seemed In plying silence clothed.
West End-ward he was bound
He approached the mansion stealthily.
The steps looked cold and chilli
He glanced into the vestibule,
But all was calm and still.
He fingered nervously the bell.
His card case in his hand,
He saw the mirror in the hall
Solemn, stately. grand
Suddenly his spirits rose.
The drawing-room looked dim:
The mental filled his soul with Joy
With 'No!' there's no one In.
With fiendiSsh glee he stole away,
His heart was gay and light.
Happy that he went and paid
His party call that night
His steps turned TO the billiard hall.
Blissfully he trod;
He entered. What, returned so soon!"

Sixteen cues were put to rest
Within their upright beds,
And sixteen different tiles were placed
On sixteen level heads;
Sixteen men upon the street,

And sixteen men on duty bent

At early dawn, ween--
She slowly looked the cards all ou-,
They numbered seventeen.
With calm relief she raised her eyes.
