eyes of the gentleman still fumbling
yainly in his pockets-tTell you what
do: You borry 20 cents of the man
that stays behind the counter there
and then well go the other Is, and
that'll make it. and I'll skip out o.
here little the fyest boy you ever see,
What do We soy?" And the little fell
low struck a Pat Rooney attitude that
would have driven the original inven-
tor mad with envy
Give him quarter laughed the
gentleman appealed to.
And here's the other dime" and as
the little fellow clutched the money
eagerly, he turned; and in tone OF
curious gravity, he said
Now, honest, gentlemens, amt
a-givin' you no game about the box
cause new one costs rs cents, and
the one I've got-I mean the one I'm
a-goin' to gifts jist as good as a new
one, on'y it's secondhand; and I'm
much oblige', gentlemens- !
am-and if ever | give you a shine you
can jist bet it don't cost you nothin'."
And with this expression of his graft
tude, the little fellow vanished as mys-
teriously as he had at first appeared.
That boy hasn't a bad face" said
the first speaker-"wide between the
eyes-full forehead. good mouth, de-
noting hrmness- altogether, good,
square face"
And noble one" said l, perhaps
inspired to that rather lofty assertion
| by the rehearsal of the good points
noted by my more observant compan.
ion.
Yes, and an honest, straightforward
way of talking, l would say" contin-
ued that gentleman. 81 only noted one
thing to shake my faith in that partic-
ular, and that was in his latest ref
erence to the box. You'll remember
his saying he was giving us no game
| about it, whereas he had not been &C.
cused of such a thing"
"Oh, he meant about the price, don't
you remember" said l.
NO" said the gentleman at the
counter, you're both wrong He only
threw in that remark because he
thought l suspected him, for he recog-
nized me just the instant before that
| speech, and it confused him, and with
some reason, as you will see: On my
way to supper only last night, | over.

state of drunkenness; and you know
how slippery the streets were / think
If that old man fell a single time he
fell dozen, and once so violently that

to his feet. | thought him badly hurt

look at the boy, there, however, and
questioned him little; and he said
the man was his father. and be was
taking him home; and gathered fur
Their from his talk that the man was a
confirmed inebriate. Now you'll 1e-

found himself caught in one yarn at

Il don't know" said /, as though
celebrating on the matter What
was that you we're going to tell me just
now? You started to tell me what a
| lovely sucker Id have been had you
met me this morning. How did you
| mean?"
Give me cigar and I'll tell you
oh, come, now, cap; give me smoker
and I'll give you the whole game. /
will, now, honest!"
held out the open case.
'Nothin' mean about you, is they?'
he said, eagerly taking fresh cigar
in one hand and the stub in the other.
"A ten-center, too-oh, guess not!''
But, to my surprise, he took the stub
between his lips, and began opening
his coat. Guess I'll jist fat this daisy
and save 'er up for Christmas. No, !
won't either" he broke in suddenly
with a bright, keen flash of second
thought. sTell you what I'll do" hold.

amt she?"
nodded
And worth every cent of it, too,
amt she?"
Every cent of it." I repeated
Then give me nickel, and she's
yourn-'cause if you can afford to give
this to me fer nothin, looks like | ort
to let you have it fer half price" and
as | laughingly dropped the nickel in
his hand he concluded, "And they's
nothin' mean about me, neither"
Now, go on with your story, said |.
How about this game you were Civ
ing this morning."
well, I'll tell you, cap. Us fellers
has got to lay fer ever nickel, cause
none of US is bondholders; and they's
days and days together when we don't
| make enough to even starve on. What
| mean is, we on'y make enough to pay
fer aggrevatin' our appetites with jist
about enough chuck to keep us starvin'-
hungry. So, you see, when a Teller
amt got nothin' else to do, and his
appetite won't sleep in the same bunk
with him, he's bound to git on to
somepin' crooked and git up all sorts
O. lodges to git along. Some gives
'em one thing, and some another, but
| you bet they got to be mighty slick
now, cause people won't have
orphans, and fits and .cripples,' and
drunk fathers and mothers that eats
morphine, and 'white-swellin', and
consumption and all that sort O.
taffy! Got to git Ter down fner'n that!
But been a-gittin' in my work all the
same, don't you fergit! You won't ever

How could blow and what if ]

take yer measure fer one like it fer
Is, too quick." and the little fellow
leaned back from his work and laughed
up In my face with absolute derision.
| pulled my hat more closely down
for fear of recognition, but was reas-
sured moment later as he vent on:
VISIT you lived here; you'd be old
fruit fer us fellows. | can see you
now a-takin' wind-and we'd give it to
you mighty slick now, don't you fer
