the complaining witness was narrating
her grievance the defendant rapidly in

Hickey turned upon her a baleful eye
and calculated in peremptory tone.

Mr.. Foley, still plying his whip.

Miss Lulu Alexander (colored) and
Miss Violet Fraser (also colored) were
pleasantly Willing away Thanksgiving

in Hinckley alley, when Signor Giusep-
pi Castrano, redolent or fish, rudely
routed the harmony by dropping in and
insisting that Miss Fraser dance with
him to the string twanging OF Miss

kitchen of her dwelling, 1045 Folsom
