They had come in for breakfast and
while looking over the menu cards,
one of their number whispered as
loudly as possible making the whisper
50 audible that the waiter could hear,
Say, fellows, let's make it so cents a
piece for the waiter
Sure they yelled in chorus and
one suggested that they match for it,
the odd man having to put up the
whole $3.50.
:" That's a 60, said the others, and
they began to order. The waiter,
whose features gIisf ened with Joy and
hope, did everything in his power for
the five young bloods, and went about
with an air as much as to say every
thing must give way before my five
young men. I'll serve them to the
best Of my ability, even if the rest
OF the house has to go hungry After
the party had damaged about SO
worth Of stuff, half in consumption,
the remaining half in Wreckage, the
man who was to pay the waiter said
I'll make it five and match with any
one to see who stands the racket
OF course he was called, and while
the matching was going on one of the
smart Alexanders said, Waiter, hot
cakes for all, please and the dusky
gentleman went at a ten seconds gait,
his eyes shining and his mouth fairly
watering, as he thought of that flyer
/ and the time he Wouid have that night.
Out of sight went the waiter and so
| did the crowd, and the waiter was left
a sadder, wiser man.
1T was worth a large fraction of
your years to see the expression on
that walters face when he saw that
the guests and his So were gone.
ITO my dying day that expression
will be imprinted upon my mind. The
| change from sunshine to surprise, sur
prise to dismay and dismay to disgust
was something wonderful People
have told me that darl1ieS turn white,
but this is the first time I ever wit
; messed it."
