It was a hot evening. The pavements were scorching, and the front stoop did not present a very inviting appearance. Nevertheless she sat there waiting for him to make his regular evening visit. Soon she heard his foot-fall’s music coming up the avenue, and in another moment he stood under the gaslight before the fair | Dalcina. “Why, oh! wherefore, Edward, are you come so late?” she exclaimed. He gave his limp. shirt collar a little twitch, arranged his two-for-a-quarter neck- scarf, and then mopping his lofty brow with a handkerchief she hed wsthetically em- broidered, he murmured a half unintelligible reply, which was apparently satisfactory, for she immediately exclaimed: KNOCKED OUT AT.

Now Edward had in his pockets a one dollar bill, and two ten-cent pieces—only this, and nothing more!

They reached the box-office, where the unitarian bill was quickly changed for two admission tickets. As they approached the elevator, Dulcina suggested that it would be pleasant to sit below for a while and listen to the opera. Reserved seats $1.50 a piece, thought Edward, as without heeding her remarks he tenderly placed her in the lift, and soon they were far above the auditorium. “Would to heaven the thing would never stop its upward flight, wished Edward, as they reached the roof, and then, as he gazed DEFEAT. at the stars above him, he fell to wondering if there were roof gardens, expensive girls, and ice cream, in Jupiter and S “A penny for your thought the fair one beside brought him back to earth so sudde he lost his presence of 1 was thinking of ice-cream Now, if he hs ud his wits this was about the last thing he would have mentioned, but the words were out of his mouth before he thought, and as the de: girl replied, “Why, so was 1,” and. then took aseat ata table, he saw he was in for it and no mistake.

Suddenly a happy thought struck hin “ Excuse me for one brief moment,” he remarked, and before she had time to reply, he was going down the stairs at a faster rate of speed than any elevator was ever known to attain, save when the supports gave way. Without waiting for a return check, rushed from the door and sped along the murky streets in search of a friendly pawn- shop.
