A sEMI-HIsTORICAL POEM.
Obi lady Gagged up in old castle gray
q Know that the books tell the tale that way
But I've other plan to go onl-
For a bold. brave knight in suit or mail
That shone with the sheen Of new tin pal pail Fail
Would come 10 her rescue ere long, WITHOUT lal
and and so on and so on
Had 'prisoned the lady Ga rough way to WOO.
All He was wicked, bad lot through ana through
Not moral, nor religious . ,.-
While the good White knight through his virtue
And played to the limit the chivalroqs game.
So the lady-of most unpronouhceapie hanAe-
Expected a battle prodglous.
And here lest We think that the writer hath taken
by readers fOrSaken,
All oidtme conventions the fellow hath shaken
You see modern fasnl0nS fram the battements
And ever she prayed that her knight would draw
But nary nary knight met her dewdroppy eye
Save the night that sets all the dews dropping.
Meanwhile the bad knight made his case very
He wo otiS her with sonnet he wooed her with
And, somehow. he let her find out before long
What big life insurance ne c car av as b,s
He'd money-the virtuous duffer had nonel
And-we!l the poor lady had no chaperon,
So they called In the priest and were marTied;
At Erie. Penn. woman rented several years
ago the top story of business building adJoin-
ing a hotel. She furnished 1t sumptuousy. BENG
friendly with the hotel proprietor, she had door
cut through to the hotel and used the hotel eie-
vator going to and from her apartments. Recently
the hotel passed into the control or new lessee
who had no acquaintance with or affection for
her and without her knowledge or consent he
tore out the door frame night and walled up
the hole which she had cut in the partition wall
The unconventional woman had long ago removed
the stairs that formerly led to her rooms from
the ground floor of the business block. and the
place which they had occupied had been foored
over, so that she awoke in the morning to find
herself a prisoner in her own rooms. without any
means of escape except balloon or a basket
When she discovered her predicament she was
furious of course, and flew to the telephone. She
called up her lawyer. and demanded the arrest
and punishment of the hotelkeeper and the masons
who had walled up her door, but he gave her
no consolation. He explained that she had been
allowed to the passageway by courtesy only
and the courtesy had evidently been withdrawn
but that furnished no ground for legal proceedings
She then called up caterer and asked him to
send her some breakfast which hauled I'D
by rope in a basket. and later in the day sue
ceeded in securing the services of carpenter
who broke a hole in the floor and set up flight of
temporary stairs.
