A LITTLE DEAL.
"Presents—clothes—honeymoen. How
drilling his penholder into a much fur-
rowed forehead. “There never wam
wedding without presents. As for no
honeymoon—why, Hetty Would be justi-
fied in crying off before the very altar.”
What had placed our friend in this un-
pleasant quandary was, to begin with,
Uncle Piper’s check for £500. It was a
check to marry Hefty and set up house
with, and qua cash was satisfactory
enough; but accompanied with the wise
avuncular injunction, “George, marry
on a cash basis—cash, mind—or never
look me in the face again.” Such excel-
lent advice, plus a £500 check, it is im-
possible for a nephew to Spurn—especi-
ally a nephew in love.”
And then. when he had this gold mine
of untold wealth in his pocket, and a
full ocean of happiness to look forward
to, George fell into the toils of the
plausible fellow, Tom Scherer, of the
well known city firm of Mouton, Scherel
&Wa1ker Scherer had 51 1011 a taking
way of remembering, and cherishing
affectionately, one‘s Christian name.
Happy man! Some of you fellows have
the devil‘s own luck. And just in time,
too, for me to p1.1 1t vou on to one of the
nicest little chances of malt mg a com-
fortable nest egg for the l .appy home——
had. But come into Pipp's and have :1
codes.”
Pipps’s, that long, low, smoky “dive”
in Throgmorton street, was crowded
with easy mannered gentleman in silk
hats, or in no hats at all, who conversed
in pairs and in groups with electrical'
energy. They could not hear themselves
for their own talking. "Sell-at-five-
three - eight,” “Book - you - thousand.”
“Buy - six - quarter," "Sell," “Buy,”
“Panjandrums.” "Rhodes,” “Barney’s
stock,” “Struck-Bibble - bobble - reef,”
"Last-crushing-ten-ounces"—such were
some of the scraps of jargon that
parative silence; w lile ever and anon a
gentleman would draw from his vest
pocket a little note book and pencil some
entry or other. Almost de afenede at first
by the hubbub. George Littlecash was
soon in the whirlpool himself. an eager
listener to l‘.lr.Sc’;1erer’s glowing tales
indicative of the pe cunia1y adv: ntage
certain 10 result from a sme 11 punt- in
the South African "boom. ”
“Eighty thou’ in one deal. my dear
George—what d’ye think of that, oh?
Sprinzrett went nap on Gold Bug Exten-
sions—put on every penny he could
swear by—and came out 80,000 golden
sovereigns to the good. And yet you
—-faint heart never maintained a fair
lady, if it won her.”
The upshot was that George figured
up his liabilities against his check, and
handed ovc r to the trusty Scherer £250,
to be converted in two (.2133 s, or some
such reasonable time, into £2, 1700.
“Done!” elied Scl1e1e1, .5 he pencilled
the little transaction in his note book.
And “done” George was. For next
day, when he looked at I‘Iines in the
money column, he found that Gold Bugs
had crawled downstairs three-eights.
“What do you advise, Scherer?" asked
George, when they met in the city.
“Never advise, my dear George.
Don’t do it—on principle. ‘Cut your
losses, let your profits run,’
wheeze: but it's no good being too hasty.
Tois fall is simply due to somebody
being in too big .1. huiry to pocketa
profit. But youjudg'e for yto rself dear
boy. that s wl rat 1 a lvise.'
Next day Gold Bugs had crawled
downstairs two or three steps more.
"It’s nothing. George." said the op-
timistic Weak holders—

Still, don’t ’1: e guidel by me.”

he sat savagely biting his lips. knitting
h's brows and inwardly cursing Scherer
a d all his works, that he glanced vague-
.v at a copy of the Evening Intelli-
ge ice.
"Renewed activity in Band Shares,”
.vas the line in large type that caught
the disconcnlate investor‘s ey: as the pa-
per lay 0.. 1. is desk.
“Conform .. Rand sharesl" he ejaculat-
ed fervently. Wheeling round as though
from a too 'r ionate snake.
Just then uck held it, in popped

"Why, Go ‘ge. my dear boy, you’re
looking as s; 1astly as James Canham
Read when he was ‘taken from life,’ as
the waxworks bill says. Nothing seri-
ous, I hope? Gal chucked you?”
“Look here. Scherer; I don’t want you
blarneying me again. I’ve had quite
enough of Rand shares, thanks—in fact
a long sight too much.”
“Rani shares! Why, my dear fellow,”
Scherer 1etu1ned with a look of pained
virtue, “you really don’ t mean to tell me
that‘ 5 what put you down 111 the dumps
-—-that- little matter of two- fifty, when
you stood to win as many thousands!
Bless my soul!” -—Sche1er’ s eye had just
caught the line in the Evening Intelli-
gence-—‘ have you seen the pape1 to—

“No,” replied George, whose back was
turned, “nor want to. I’m sick of the
whole thing. You knew, for I told you,
I couldn’t risk anything under the cir-
cumstances unless it was absolutely cei-
tain.” .
“And that’s what you call ‘ttisk’?”
“Oh, hang!—I know it’s my own fault
-—only don’t bother me with any more of
these fine tales.”
“Now, I call this very unkind of you,
George,” said Scheiei, inju1ed; " 'I do,

‘ And you an’ I friends, George! This

“A shilling apiece? No, sir! Not at
‘a. shilling apiece.’ I’ll give you what
you gave for ’em, and ‘a. shilling. apiece’
over to soothe your injured feelings.
What d’ye think of that!”
Mr. Scherer found his magnanimity so
exhilarating that he drew himself up,
threw open his coat and slipped George’s
Evening Intelligence into his own
pocket.
"You doubt my honesty and m1 good
= faith, eh, my dear sir,” he said, pulling
out his check book and a roll of notes.
Last week you paid me £250; if you will
be so good as to hand me back the scrip I
shall have much pleasure in handing you

“If it’s all the lame to you, I should.”
“Certainly, my dear sir.”
“I’m only too delighted to hand it

'he passed over the scrip and received

‘And yet, strange to say,” laughed
Scherer, "I can assure you I’m no less
delighted to take it back. Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!” For some moments the
cachinnation prevented speech. When
‘ Scherer found breath he remarked to his

in fact, two words. Don’t doubt your
friend’s honesty again and when you
hold active 5.. .1es keep a sharp eye on
the papers—ha, ha. ha!"
“The papers?” echoed Littlecash.
“why no; Ihaven‘t seen to- night’s paper

But the office boy triumphed.
“That’s a hold won, sir; to-uight‘s

“Not come in!” shrieked Scherer,
turning to the due. “\Vhy. the paper’s

Mr. Scherer‘s exclumations as he sank
into‘Georgc’s chair were so shockingly
' profane that even the Ofiice Boy turned
pale and expected a flash of lightning.
George got his friend out of the office
' at last, but made a point of handing him
back the odd twelve pounds ten—“to
soothe his feelings.” The w elding took
place and Uncle Piper will never know
the particulars of George’s first—and

.Taking a Bath in Paris.
“The bathing habit c3me3 more near-
1y being universal in the United States
than in any country I've ever visited.”
, said Mr. D. J. Burton. ofSan Francisco.
‘ Every 00d" knows of the lunny custom
in Paris, 1 'here the people get then
baths £10111 a fellow 1 ho- 1 ':.uls around a
portable bathtub and takes it up to the
rooms of his patrons.
“Think of opening your mindow in
the early morning and whistling to at-
tract the attention of the b .th vender.
That’s the \vayt-1.ey do in the gay French
l metropolis. None of the hotels exc epta
few veryla tely built that but e pattern-
ed after the American st- le can accom-
modate a gues. who wants to wash; and
‘ private houses are utterly without facil-
. ities for ablution.
“The Englishman plumes himself on
his devotion to cold water, but it’s really
a. travesty on bathing that John Bull
performs. He will fill a be
.sin half full
of water, and immersing a towel in it,
mop himself therewith quite vigorously,
splashing around with fearful racket,
and thinking that he had done the sub-
ject complete justice.
“In a good many other countries of
; Europe the people seem totally innocent
3 of the practice of applying water ex-
, ternally, and that is why I maintain
that my own countrymen are the clean-
est on earth.”—Washington Post.
Spiders in History.
Spiders have played a greater part in
; history than most people are aware of.
Everybody knows how the perseverance
of a. spider encouraged Robert Bruce to
regain his kingdom of Scotland, but not
so many know that according to Jewish
tradition a spider saved David’s life.
Saul was hunting for him. and his sol-
diers approached a cave Where David
was hidden. Shortly before, however,
a spider had spun her web at the mouth
of the cave, and the soldiers, taking it
for granted that if he had taken 1efuge
in the cave he must have broken the
web. departed forgetting the web might
have been spun after as well as before
his entrance. A spider saved the life of
the grand-uncle of the German emperor
Frede1ick William was King of Prussia,
and an attempt was made to poison him
in a cup of chocolate. By chance a spi-
der fell mto the cup, and for this reason
the monarch gave the chocolate to a
dog, who immediately died. Inquiry
was made, with the result that the cock
was hanged, and a large spider w1ought
in gold now deco1ates one of the chief
rooms of the Winter Palace at Potsdam
in memory of the king’s escape—London
