dat was de tip what fetched de
duchess, dat Queens borough, for she,
being form, is dead set on anything
what has a queen in it, dough she don't

dey looked up to de limit and was out
Of sight. Dere was II copper what was
near seven feet off de ground dat we
seen, and he was looking as proud as
Tod Sloan and as pretty as a actor out
on top Of de stage, pulling his mustache
and squaring his elbows like he was
playing de villain part in a vaudeville
show.
"'Mon dieu, says de duchesse, lis he
not tray magnitike!'
"'Tray?' says I. "A tray is tirty
cents alongside Of him. De jack Of clubs
is more like him.
"De duchess pipes him off for a min
ute, and den she says, Leave me alone
a little while, Chames,' says she.
Leave him to me, and I'll give him a
jolly
"Not knowing what de duchess might
mean by dat, l says what t'ell?' I says,
| and she said she would only have a little
fun.
"Well, wild dat | walks away from de
duchess like l owed her 60 cents for a
bar bill and I watched her on de side.
Say, you should seen herl She waltzes

"'Where else could it be?' says de
copper, wild a paralyzing smile.
"De duchess looked like she hadn't a
friend on cart, and she said, I fought

dat it ran to Bowling Green
"Den de copper swelled his front
chest like a featherweight fighter boxin
