CHAPTER N.
LOVE AND DRY GOODS.


Cora Cooganheimer was one OF those
arch and fauluess beauties who have
golden hair and peachblow compilations
regardless of the expense. She was a
cash girl in the employ of the great
firm OF Higgle & Sniggle, and for 50
years she had been known as the Belle
of the Bargain Bazaar. Whispers of her
great beauty had been waited abroad
and the naughty Duke of Montmorency
had sworn she should be his.
He reckoned without Ed. Eastlake,
the elevator boy, with whom she had
plighted her troth.
The Duke had halted her now, and as
she was getting change for a customer,
she was in no hurry. For the last
time. will you marry me?" Kissed the
nobleman.
Are you a real Duke?" she asked
eagerly.
In answer he opened the dress-suit
case he carried with him and took out
his title.
One glance showed the heartless
coquette that it was guaranteed by the
Title Guarantee Company.
Aubrey, l am yours!' she whispered
softly And, fafthIess as she was fair,
forgetting the love of Ed Eastlake, a
boy bound to rise, she fled to become
the proud bride of ducal coronet.
AS for Err Easelake, he said nothing,
but by his grim, determined aid 1t could
be seen that it were not we'll IL tho
Duke of Montmorency crossed the path
of the pale, imperious elevator boy.
One day Ed Eastlake disappeared,
and it was whispered that he had be-
come plumber.
"He will move now in the same social
circles as the Duke his friends re-
marked among themselves, then
Heaven help the present head of the
House of Montmorncy!"

she never heard the jokes of the clown or
saw the tricks of the ponies. She sat there
and waited and sneezed and coughed and
chosed for hours and hours. and then she
died. Let US believet that she died happy
and will here announce that the receipts
of the evening amount to S1l0.
Our next picture represents another find
In room in a house which had belonged
to an aristocrat was found a jug sitting on
a stand and labeled as you see We are
fain TO believe that the people of 1860 years
ago did not know what a good thing was
but our sympathies are wasted. While we
have had almost two centuries of progress
and cultivation since the days of Pompeii
am reliably informed that the contents of
that judge had a flavor which no dstiller
of the present day can hope to equal
think there was a great deal of sage tea
and corn coffee used by the ancients. and
| that the wine furnished with a table d'hote
dinner was nothing to brag Of but don t
you believe that there was any great scar
city of stuff 10 get UP a pleasant drink on,
In the third house down the street from
where the jug was found the diggers came
across this Pompeiian mother standing
will notice that she is built on liberal lines
After the ashes had fallen to the depth OF
two feet she realized that she couldn't pad
die through them. 1t is believed that her
husband went for hack and took advan-
tage of the occasion TO skip out and that
the hired girl made sneak down the back
stairs without asking for her wages and
left her mistress to die alone. Death came
slowly. Why she did not go to bed or at
least lie down on the lounge TO die can
not say, but she probably had her reasons
At any rate she persisted, and in case her
runaway husband married again he prob
ably didn't better himself At this juno
ture, wish to say that if the beetIe-brow-
ed. squint-eyed man over there on the left
is not satisfied with this exhibition ne can
retire from the hall tiptoe and find SAL
DON right across the way
The picture when | now present appeals
strongly to our sentiment. This naked ba-
by was found In the house at q Sarnus
place. AS near as my special artist could
learn, the house belonged to a family
named Campania. When the ashes began
to fall Campania, who was lawyer, didn't
wait to see whether they would turn into
snow or rain He made for home and got
out his mule and cart, and before there
was much Of a blizzard the family was
rolling away toward safety. In the hurry
the baby was overlooked. The parrot and
the poodle were taken along but it was
hours before the baby was missed. and
then It was too late to 90 back Tears
spring to our eyes as we think of the sit
uation. The baby probably lived on for
two or thee days, and when it at length
drew its last breath there was no one at
hand to cross its chubby hands on its life
less breast However. had It lived to be-
come a man it might have become a tough.
and so we will dry our tears and pass on
to the next.
Within stones throw OF the baby was
found the touching picture which 7 now

Kenyon's grocery at the corner of two
intersecting roads, Good evenin'.

There was shutting of feet among
those sitting around and a place was
made for General Beauregaldo to sit.
He did SO after protracted coughing
spell, which left him very blue
in the face and much distressed.
However, this soon passed off, and the
crowd waited patiently for the General
to begin. He recovered his breath in a
few moments and said: .'Bein' a Sat-
