and fancy steppinx must teen one of. de tinRs ioined ak deir college: for dsy wasn't Ioungine nj ID back seat none of de time. Maggie got Herce sc.<re on when she found herselksat one end wit Boston. and she didn't do her best: but do unknswn was right in if, and was having de time | of de evening. when Whiskers holds out his hat about i've feet up. Say, she let | go and de toe of her shoe runs trough de | top of de silk diver SO far dat 1t held on. and picks 1t of for her. and when I does 1t, she was laughing to herself. and huIly gee I was on in a minute-it was Willy Hviddy!
 l didn't have to ask de answer; knows 1t was some game she'd been helping out Tin wit Duchess. and I says noting, but goes on a still hunt for dat goil: keping de punctured dicer in me hand. I didn't have to look far. for 1 soon ses a figure dat I'd know for Duchess mile off in a fog, and | waits till she was out of he set she was dancing, and says to her, "Woman!" says. whats doing7" I says.
 When she sees de dicer in me hand. she says. Dat was a good boy for to lcapture whiskaire's hat. Give it to me, and wil make 1t into ten dollair." | De cheek of her paralyzed me so dat yielded de dicer and asks was to be let In to de game she was playing. Sure" says she.

 was when tells her dat you was to take Whiskaire and Msieu Bostong here."
 You had a right not to go and tell her notting." I says.
 "of a soitainty,'' says dat saucy hussy, T had right not to, but had a right for to do it, also"
 I Say, what can a man do when he has wife like dat? didn't dare to put de swells wise. for dat would be giving away Willy Waddy. so just hangs around to see dat no bad break was made, but wasn't needed. Widdy was at de table wit de leaders and de swells, and she was coming em like dey was come-ons and she was a steerer for a green goods lay out.
 She was as good as a actress out on top of de stage, for you wouldn't know her voice in tousand years if you was her own ladder. De leaders bote ask her in to supper. Lut she says dat she had raddef have supper at de Lobster Palace, and at dat Boston jumps at his chance, and he gives her an invite to supper dere She says sure. but dat she would have to ask a fren and dey says any fren of hers-anodder bottle!
 We'll, say, tings was doing swift, after dat. Widdy goes to Duchess, and dat saucy goil sends for me. Dey says dat dey is going home, but foist Widdey wrote note for me to take to de Lob- ster Palace. She reads me de note. SO dat would know what cards was in hand. She writes to Whiskers dat Instead of one fren she has asks four--dose was to be me. Maggie, me fren de barkeep and Duchess. Den she tells. Whiskers In de note. dat he had forgot his hat and dat was to fetch 1t to him, and dat dere was a ten dollar hat check on 1t. She tells him to say to Boston dat he was to treat her frens well, dough- as no masks was worn in de Lobster Palace. dey would have to sit at anod- der table.
 One of de leaders digs up a dicer for Whiskers. and dey was off to wait for de unknown. Den me and Duchess takes l Widdy home; and meet me fren and Maggie. and de four of us chases to de Palace. I seen whiskers duck when he pipes Duchess and me, but goes up to him and gives him de note. He reads 1t and near falls off his chair, and when gives him his dicer wit de hole in 1t, de four of em at de table. me swells and de | leaders, has fits for fair. We'll, Whiskers fpungles de tener for de dicer, and Bos- ton. he calls me up, and says dat my party was to take a table and order on him. We did. Say. he must have a job Itcutting off coupons. for Duchess orders | bank-when de checks goes to anodder party to be settled. but Boston never winked when de waiter hands 1t out to him..
 We had to get home before breakfast, so we leaves before de odder party. Bos- ton was telling de leaders how to run deir jobs before we left, but de next morning he only says to me, "Chames.r he says. You promised to get us out of de ball wit de retoin of our hats for a dollar a trow." ... | Excuse me. sir," I says. Dat was only your hat insured" Den he laughs so dat he couldn't pour de soda into de | glass where I'd put de odder part of de mixture, and he says, Wan Courtlandt had to pay a hat check when de hat was | ruined. I'll tell dat at de next class din | nerv'
 He tips well, dat sporty Boston boy, and | I hope dat his sociology studies will do him as much good as dey do me. Kohn's shoes are ood shoes.
