Mnnted her Money or her Icetn.

A great crowd collected at st. La
care Station, Paris. one day lately to
see furious dispute between a young
girl and an elderly man. during which
the girl kept uttering the cabalistic
words. MY money or my three teeth"
At length the police marched them
off to the nearest police station, and
the girl told her story.
She met a man in Montmartre who
so admired her teeth that he offered
her 60 francs for three of them. The
girl had them pulled, but the treach-
erous monster did not pay.
The man of ST. Llzare Station was,
however, not the culprit in question.
1t was a case of mistaken identity. The
police are now locking for the tooth
