Greater New York has a population of over four

fourths live in flats, paying rent.
What's more, they are paying very much higher
rent each year
Many old 1dngs have been torn down, and the
new ones built under the regulations Of new hous-
ing law demand much higher rentals.
In Manhattan, where 100000 people exist in
fats, the raise was marked. In that district, the
rents in the 1000 flats 200 per cent higher
than in the DID, just few have secured better flats
in the outskirts at the same rental.
Some Of these 100000 go to sleep in their little
holes-in-the-cliff to wake up in little dream cot
tage with vine growing over the door. This cot
tage hasn't any landlord to raise the rent. They

must be admitted that Cupid is

Marcus was known as a success
full man. He saved his money, too,
and it was ruinored that he would
soon launch into the wholesale
business down at the river.
Marcus was driving up Second
street one summer morning and a
rlose observer might have noted
that he was carefully washing his
hands and arms in a bucket of
water which he kept In the wagon.
He also produced a comb from his
pocket and smoothed out his black
curly haid. s. Holmes himself
might have been puzzled to know
the reason for this fastidiousness.
People do not expect a fish buck
ster to be as spotless as a school
teacher or a bank cashier.
AS the wagon proceeded, the
voice Of Marcus was heard less

more and more time trying to see

Aha. Marcus, now we have dis

the services Of Mr.. s. Holmes to
solve the mystery Of your fastid-

She Is the handmade at present in
charge OF her fathers fruit stand.
We can unhesitatingly commend
you for your good taste. Marcus.
For Leah Is certainly good to look
upon with her full form. those fine
eyes and that peachy complexion.
For months Marcus made IL a
point OF driving past the fruitery
Of Max Strauss every morning. His
extrome bashfulness. however, had
prevented him from advancing any
