TOWN LOT NO. 1303, m (Continued.) This $100 in the bank had an objeot. The Plaintiffs lived above Mrs. Crowe's bine front renovating emporium. "For, " said Mrs. Crowe, "I ain't goin to spend my time cleaniu up olothes an things an then fault 'em as secondhand." They had a room for a parlor, but they had no furniture. There had been a fire and sickness and dootor's bills east and rail- way tickets and furniture bills west Un- til the Plaintiffs' purse was far too lank for parlor f urnitnre. But now the money was saved, aud this dearest delight of Lizzie's heart could be gratified. Time and again the fcsvo had planned the fur- nishing. Only two new ohaira, for the red wicker rooker was good still, and a cheap table, adorned with the scarf Liz- zie had embroidered, and the blaok horsehair sofa which had been Mother Plaintiff's, and an ingrain rug (Qns, after hours, oould paint a border on the floor) and perhaps ourtains — ourtains on a gold rod. This afternoon being a half holiday Gns was to have gone with Lizzie to aofcually buy the artioles whioh they had "looked at" half a dozen times. Instead here sat Gus, greedily listening to tales of fairy gold. Every sale made someToody rioh. There was to be a oanning factory on Arcadia addi- tion; a Chioago firm was to build a vast pork packing house on the east half; an eastern syndicate wanted to buy the land; natural gas had been discovered in the southeast corner. Money seemed to float in the air for any one's olutoh- ( ing. The jovial buyers told stories of reoent investments. A sharp fellow had made $20, 000 on a single deal. A timid fellow had edged away with hundreds, whioh his snecessor, of harder metal, had turned into thousands. "What you need is to keep your grip," said the street oar magnate. Over Gns' head dangled a plaoard. Lots would be sold at prioes ranging from $500 upward. "One-fifth cash, remainder in two years, 6 per cent interest." Why, he oould buy a lot himself. Ho glanced from Wheelan, who had apparently gone to sleep, to Mrs. Crowe, a wooden sort of woman, whose nose was too long for her face, as her body was for her legs. Sitting, she looked like a tall wom- an, but when she rose she became absurdly Bhort. Her figure she was wont to desoribe herself as "all of a bigness. " Literally it was all of a thin- ness, and its straight lines were not disguised by any vain onrves of dra- pery. ' 'Got too many knobs and corners to ketch on fur furbelows," said Mar- tha Crowe. Her black skirt hung in plain folds; there were no ornaments on her black coat; her blaok straw hat had a band of crape upon it, like a man's. She wore her iron gray hair short, say- ing, "Ain't never had 'nuff to waste hairpins on." She rarely smiled, even behind a bar- gain, but a kind of sardonic irony gave her talk an edge. She had not a visible creature in the world belonging to her, except an apoplectic old dog. Rumor explained her black garb as mourning for the departed Crowe, but as it was known that he beat her until she pitted the redhofc poker against his fist and drove him out of the house this expla- nation was not aocepted generally. Fur- thermore, Mrs. Crowe had an open grudge against the sex, whioh she grat- ified not only in words, but by lending money at an unconscionable rate of in- terest. Yefc Lizzie Plaintiff always maintained to Gus, who had a great dislike for the woman, that Mrs. Crowe had her good points. "She always pays promptly, and she pays fair wages, and I don't believe a oleaner woman ever lived. The house is kept in repair bet- ter than any plaoe I know." All the more Lizzie wondered over Mrs. Crowe's business. "How can you stand all these dreadful old duds?" she said to her once, and Mrs. Crowe had answered in her grim way: "You kin stan dirt on dollar bills. It pays. But — well, 'tis had," she owned. " 'Tain' t so much the olothes; the fnrniohnre is what heats me. " She gave Mrs. Plaintiff a glance of awful significance. "I dream of 'em nights," said she, "For the land's sake, " gasped poor Mrs. Plaintiff, "you don't think they can walk up stairs?" "Bless you, no. You ain't no call to fret. I got a solution that 'ud kill the Wanderin Jew. You kin buy every blessed thing I've got safely, an that's more'n you kin say of some of these big furniohure stores too. I could just make your hair raise your bunuet, Mrs. Plain- tiff — mother's too. Some folks 6ay they cayn't be killed. I kin kill 'em. They'g secrets in all trades, as a fool man I knowed used to say, but the only thing I he ever did say warn't a lie. Guess your husband's middling clever to ye?" "Indeed he is, " cried Lizzie. "He is the best husband in the world. " "I came from your town," Mrs. Crowe went on calmly. "His father kinder kept company with me onot. Guess neither him nor his son would set the river afire. But he looks clever. I wouldn't go without my meat for din- ner to save it up for his supper, though, if I was you. You kin out off your right hand fur a man, an thenlike's not he'll grumble 'cause you're left handed. Oh, I know 'em I I've summered 'em an wintered 'em. You eat your meat." Unfortunately Gus, having coma home half an hour earlier than com- mon, heard every word of this speech, because be was in the hall outside. Sit* ting by Mrs. Crowe's side now, he wriggled in his seat under the priok of those remembered sentences. Mrs. Crowe turned her pale green eyes on him. "Thinkin of buyin?" said she. "I've not decided, " replied Gus cold- ly. "Well, I wouldn't then, " Mrs. Crowe said, without expression either in face ] or manner. "Better go home. " ] "I guess if you'd followed your own advioe you'd have been a good deal poorer, "said Gus. Aud when a man opposite laughed he felt a glow of satis- faction. His wits were equal to this old harpy's. "Well," said Mrs. Crowe deliberate- ly, "that's different. I've got some money to fool away if I wanter, an you ain't. I'm plenty smart enough an plenty mean enough to be a match for (To be continued). Evkn a glance at their windows will show that. Craighead & Berryman are determined 0 maintain their refutation ad the leading tajlore and outfitteri— (Advt)
