6tImuiant like coffee, for I feel very
warm hearted now. The ladies about
me, though probably vulgar. are
| charming--some OF them.
Mortimer has ordered four more IL
bations. only one Of which ! drank.
He now suggests a trip farther up
town TO a notorious dive where a Wo-
man was once arrested for improper
dancing.

Much TO my chagrin, they drank
some Whiskey. and Mortimer paid
two checks. amounting TO t20.S5. Now
we are going away with them for a
ride

opened than a rough man came from
the house and said;

Then he spied me, and for some rea-
son took a Violent distaste TO me. He
snarled at me. pulled my whiskers and
struck me--actually struck me.
-Get in there, you old fathead," he
cried. you ought to know better"
Then, before / could demonstrate, he
pushed me into the taxicab. ! cried
that / was doing only my duty, but he
was too busy upbraiding the woman
for neglecting the baby.
