sw1NDLERs IN TABLE LINEN.
Pretends to Have Cheated
Uncle Sam.

A new trick to sell cheap table linen
at good prices was discovered the
other day by woman who lives in a
Jersey suburban town. The man who
practices it seems to find it profitable,
for when last heard of he had been
working it industriously for six
months.
He turned up in buggy at the Jer-
sey woman's house and displayed to
her half dozen table covers. They
were of German woven linen, heavily
starched and glazed to conceal their
finishes and coarseness of texture,
says the New York Sun.
'I've just landed from the steamer
Britannia" explained the man in very
fair imitation of an Irish brogue, ''and
managed to bring over with me from
the old country a few tablecloths of the
best Irish linen that ever saw the light
here. They're me only capital and I'm
selling them off meself to get enough
coin to start me in little business.
I'm able to sell them cheap, because
bringing them as me own property,
got them into the country without
paying duty. II you know good linen,
here's a great chance for a bargain
It happened that the Jersey woman
did know something about linen and
when the man, named for his inferior
wares price at which the best Irish
linen would not be cheap, she told him
what she thought about his stock in
lieve his tale.
b He went away without making a
sale, but the woman he didn't succeed
in fooling wasn't surprised when few
days later her neighbors began to
show to her bargains in table linen
purchased from a clever Irishman who
had managed to cheat Uncle Sans
customs.
A week ago the Jersey woman was
visiting in q small town in Pennsyl-
vania. One afternoon her hostess
called her in consultation on a linen
bargain offered by man who had "just
landed from the Britannia" It was the
same man and he had the same goods.
''You've been telling that tale long
time," said the Jersey woman. 'It must
pay WELL"
II don't know what you mean,''
clustered the pseudo-Irishman.
When the Jersey woman explained
he admitted that the trick did pay very
well.
1T isn't many women who know
good linen when it's new" said he, not
in the least embarrassed, "thougb
most Of them think they do.''

Dixon. "You're not going to Let Q
little thing like that worry you"
Besides which," pursued Sparks,
"Eggie has got q true, manly hcart.
and it amt rightsto trifle with it."
SIT was my nose she was trifing
with" said Dawley. "Don't you mind
him, Miss Dixon; he's merely trying
to be humorous, and this is about as
near as ne ever comes to it. He
thinks he's doing pretty well, though.
and he really is-for him"
He felt Disguised with the whole
thing, and he was still more disgust
ed when Sparks went around with a
handkerchief, in his hand, begging the
other fellows to wipe an imaginary
black spot OFF his nose. This request
was always granted, and for q time
il was quite the usual thing for the
men to pull out pocket mirrors and
handkerchiefs and rub their own
noses when Dawley approached them.
Still, nobody could have guessed how
the proceedings exasperated the
young man from his manner, and the
joke naturally died at last. '
If at first he decided that Miss
Dixon's action was somewhat indeli-
cate he changed his mind about it
afterward. It might have been in
anybody else, but she was too en-
tirely child of nature, tempered
with Chicago, that it seemed on con-
sideration almost proper. A day sell
dom passed that he did not go up
to her desk to talk to her, and ho
found himself very much amused by
her artless chatter. He felt that he
was unbending. He occasionally
hurled Babylonic bricks at her and
was not in the least offended when
she told him that his language was
"ferce" and desired him to come
down to where she could reach him
without standing on tiptoe and rip
ping the seams in her sleeves. He
told johnson, the one man in the
house with whom he was on intimate
terms, that 1.-THE little girl was sim
ply delicious"
ssWatch her chewing gum now" said
johnson.
ooh, WE'LL" replied Dawley, tolerant.
~, "that's just part of her. You

about her ma and her pa, and the way
she called down young lady friend OF
hers about something the young lady
friend had said about her to another
young lady friend"

her to thinking that you are gene on

"Great Scott, no!'' exclaimed Daw.
ley. ooh, of course, jolly her once
in awhile, but she knows how to take
that guess she does"
When Dawley began to think it over
he was not so sure whe ether Miss Dixon
knew how to take him. He had occa-
'sionally made protestations of an
ardent and consuming passion. He
had called her Emmeline for some time
when they were alone, but she had
laughed at him and he had supposed
that she had understood perfectly we'll
that he was not in earnest. He was,
in the main, right-minded young
man, and, recalling the fable of the
boy and the frogs, he reflected that
what was sport to him might be death
to her. He decided that he would keep
himself steadily to the lace depart
ment and away from Miss Dixon's
desk. He did SO for about week and,
then, yielding to feeling of curiosity,
he went over and found her chatting
in very animated fashion with Sparks
and showing no sign of mental an.
gnish.
He felt irritated, and vaguely un-
easy, and when he heard her join her
musical laugh to Sparks raucous bray
moment later his irritation turned to
something like rage. For another
week he avoided her, and during that
time his uneasiness became more de.
fined. He lost his appetite to q great
extent, which he could hardly account
for. At the end Of the week he con-
cluded that as the young woman was
evidently in no danger Of misplacing
her affections he might as well go back
and talk to her. He went.
She was not busy and as he ap.
preached she looked up at him with
the old bright smile and familiar nod.
Hello, Eggie!" she said.
