Chake say that Repecca iss trying to make a
mash that fine Ikey Moonberg, over dere in
Lakewood he FIVE tenements in Brooklyn
and has diments as big as hazel-nuts. Say he is
a fine looker!"
Goomy the young man wended his disgusted,
disappointed way out of the emporium" into the
throng Of homegoers and shoppers.
The next day he curbed all desire to go to the
Stckensten place but in the evening the longing
to frequent the accustomed vicinity, (akin no
doubt to the malefactors fascination for the scene
of his i'll doing) overcame him, and he turned
his footsteps in that direction.
When he arrived on the corner opposite to that
occupied by the Stickenstein establishment, he
heard the door of the place slam and the
key turn in the lock, In moment the old man
into the light of the corner looking furtive-
ly about pulling his overlarge derby still further
down on his forehead and buttoning his coat high
at the throat. He waited moment or so and
then his car, coming, boarded 1t and was carried
away
Here Leon sighed a deep sigh of relief
He continued watching the building as if try
ing to conjure forth the fair one who held such
complete possession of the most vital organ OF
his body. The front windows of the store were
dimly illuminated with the purpose of allowing po
lice scrutiny to prevent possible burglary. And
at the very rear end of the building a small
square glowed dimly in the black bulk of the sur
rounding gloom 1t the little window of the
lumber room Of the place, where all the little
odds and ends of small value but of great inn
portance in the economy of the business were
kept. The little lumber room carried associations
of tender value to Icons mind.
IT HE watcher gazed steadily at the little pallid
square, his brain still obsessed with the unful-
hllable longing for Rebecca.
Suddenly he winked his eyes in amazement 1t
seemed though a shadow had flashed across the
little window. AS though something had momen-
tarily intercepted the light that filled it's square.
MY eyes must be failing me, eh?" he muttered
to himself
But no. again something interposed itself be-
tween the light and the window. Icons heart
began to palpitate eXcitedly. He looked at the
faint square of semi-illuminatOn as if fascinated

"Rebecca!" he murmured in low jubhant
tone-This interesting tableau for fifteen wonder

Leon temerariously held her few seconds longer
"Repecca Repeccal" fairly shouted her auto

y ROWLING but glowing Leon marched out OF the
- little oveThlled shop and catching car going
around the corner, returned to his lonesome home
The next day and every day following he called
at the Stickenstein Dry Goods Emporium-w witness
the large gilt letters the door-but somehow
he could obtain word with Rebecca. Either
she was in the office, where he had no wish to
call she waiting on some buxom customer
which was nearly bad and his spirits sank to
zero.

He released his grip the post, half slid

the fre-alarm box at the corner After a tumble

alarm.
A minute later the engines hose-carts, towers,
chemical wagons, hook and ladder trucks, and
salvage corps wagons galloping up the

without the least delay. dense crowd material
lied out of the apparent emptiness of the Streets
and surged inqusitively about the burning build

ately, and then the possibilities

the second story porch became
obvious to him.
In a second he had scaled up
the rough, tin sign encrusted
oblong and was peering into
the little room.
His eyes grew large with
wonder and perplexity as he
gazed, and half forgotten YiI-
dish calculations crowded TO
his lips.
A small, delicate glass lamp
with a long, thin pedestal stood
on one side of the little work
table that occupied the center
of the room The lamp was
placed unevenly upon a queer,
thick, unsymmetrical center
piece, which looked very much
like some coarse knitted fabric
of dull red, much like the knit
ted hoods children wear on
very cold weather. 1t had a pc
culiar unwonted appearance of
slick moistness to it.
A gigantic black tomcat with
twin rings around his shining.

the room excitedly, with thick
tail straight UP and back
arched as though very proud
of himself and everybody. Leon
shifted his position on the post
slightly and the big feline's del
icate ears twitched nervously,
and the phosphorescent, glau-
cous, glowing eyes gazed
straight into his.
The Washington herald., 1909-07-25

"Du kater!" he muttered, in fearful admiration
He greatly puzzled at the curious scene
The cat soon resumed his excited promenade
about the room, and abruptly leaped upon the Ia
bic and proceeded to walk about the lamp much
it would around the feet of some favored,
sycopnantic friend.
Suddenly it crouched down. and, with its keen,
white teeth, began to tug at the center piece be

eyeing the lamp in evident distrust

nose grew hre-red as he became
angrier. He spluttered like a

Here Leon, overcome by this

down a narrow aisle, between
towering heaps of ginghams,
