him working until 8 o'clock, but she
was generous when she paid him off.
Buruen waited on the landing until

The girl looked into his eyes. What

for she turned to descend the stairs
with him

when they reached the street.-The

Burden tucked her arm through his

lovely legs in sSin-tight breeches.
James was sitting erect and immov-
able on the box of ". NJ. Jermyn's
brougham today while the uncaptive
winds sported with his whiskers and
played up and down his chamois-skin
breeches. A SlOO0 mink robe in the
brougham was blown into the street ana
sailed in the direction of a Broadway
car.
A man leaped from the car, grabbed
the robe and dashed back into the car.

slowly began TO unlimber and climb
down. 1t was hard work. James legs
were ornamental if not active. He
started after the car IN gingery trot,
as If fearing 10 test his entire con-
fidence in the tight-htting breeches. A
crowd followed and the car was over
taken, but the man and the mink robe
had disappeared.
James told the cops that il was too
cold TO take chance with the breeches
even for a 1000 robe.
