Now . Pretty Actross Obtained $500 from
Dion Boucicault,

Sadie Martinez, when she made her
first appearance in San Francisco with
Dion B%oucicanlt, was, as she now is, as
cunning and jolly q dame as eve press
ed her red lips to a goblet of Pommery.
Miss Martinez used to tell q good story
about Boucicault. In the later years of
his life the great dra1natist was very
conceited about his personal appear
ance. His long hair was carefully dyed
every day with n preparation which he
got from Paris.
Que morning Miss Martinez said to
Dion: eMr. Bouoicaut. I want $500"
"Miss Martinez. replied the dramat-
list. Il cannot conveniently furnish you
with that amount"
Il am sorry" said Miss Martinez, "but
I hope, when / call later on, that you'll
be able to find the cash for me.
When Mi. Boucicault arose aud went
to perform the ordinary duties of his
toilet he found that his hair dye was
missing. He knew that Miss Martinez
was acquainted with the whereabouts of
that important article. He also knew
that it would take him at least two
months to receive a fresh installmeut
from Paris in case his stock in hand did
not turn up. AT breakfast he said, very
hunbly:
"AIy dear Miss Sadie, did you see any
thing of my hair dyc?p
To which that gifted and beautiful
lady replied:
II assure you, Mr.. Boucicault, found
among my effects q mixture to change
the color Of the hair, which closely ap-
proaches yours, SO far as l can tell from
the label"
@And what is the price of the mix
ture?" inquired Mr.. Boucicault blandly.
Only $500" replied Miss Martinez,
vita 4 witching smile.
"How fortunate!" said Mr.. Boucicault-
"I'vo got a check for that exact amount
in my pocket"
"And how fortunate, also" replied
Miss Martinez; Il have the bottle in
mine!"
MI. Boucicault took the bottle, Miss
Martinez took the check, and then over
their black coffee they chatted about
