It Isn't the fault of tho joung lady. She could pu..lo a man very quickly If she were over In thu embroidery department nnd it man went there to purchase. Hut shuts sent totholsiok stall by tho mati ng t-r, who doesn't stop to lniiilro whether she knows iiiiv thing about. Isioks, and thu result is that tho young lady is often ipil.rcd in a way that makes her cheeks tingle A gentleman was atone of these book stalls Just before Christmas, "looking over tho bargains " "Have ion seen thu beautiful hooks which we advertised today?" asked tho young lady behind the books. The gentleman said he had seen tho ad vertisement, hut not the books. "Indent," I he young lady replied. "Well, they are hoiv. Have you seen our beauti ful 'Romeo and Juliet?' Hero It. Is. Only 3" - and the odd cents, whatever they The gentleman concluded he would have Mime fun iuletl, so he looked over his glasses at the young lady and asked: "Who Is tho painter of this 'Itomeo mid Juliet '" "Painter1" osclalmed thu joung lady. "It Isn't a painting, it's a Isiok." "Ah, I ls-g your pardon. Who Is the au thor! didn't menu painter I meant au thor?" Tho young lady blushed iiimI then ral lied. "Well," slio said, "If you don't know whowioto 'Itomeoand Juliet' I don't think there is much use showing you tho book." "Possibly not," tho gentleman replied. "Hut I am a stranger In the city, mid I have Imh'U fooled so much since I came to Chi cagothat I thought I might ventureio ask who wrote the lcoutlful book which )ou have ad vi rllsed " Tills was a long speech. The gentleman intended It should be, for during its do livery tlio young lady peeped into the front of tho Ixiok, and, shutting It ipilekly, said In it decided way "Mr Sliakespearo wtoto It. Mav ho you have heard of him." She uttered the last sentence In a menu way tlio way In which only u woman can littler n mean sentence. It was scorn nnd Imlcfuliirss mid triumph all in a heap. The gentleman teplledt "It. seems to mo I have. Hove you his other works?" Thoiowas no impropriety In tho query, mid yet tho young lady blushed aalu ami looked at the mail as if she could kill liliu. Then n light broke over her face, ami tho look of triumph ittino hark to her eyes tlie look which comes into the tint's ees when It discovers that the canary Is asleep "I Mil! nee," she said, and In her face was a ion haven't-got inejet o.xpicsshiu. Then she glided to the end of tlio counter, whole tlio hairless headed Moor walker was posing in his Sunday school attitude. She whlspcted to him and lie shook Ids head She glided hack to tlio place of beginning, and said in it firm, you-aro-a wretch tone of voice, "No, sir; wo had his oilier works, but. they havu all been sold." "I mu sorry to annoy you," said the gen tleman, "but can you tell me where I could get 'Shakespeare's Hiawatha' in tho same binding as this? Tliu publisher's list must bu in your house." Thu young lady lilt her underllp until all thu blood In her beautiful face for shu is a iH.-autifiil girl rushed to thu place of at tack. A woman's intuition is quick. Shu knew this mail was Intent upon mischief, ami jet there was nothing in his speech or manner to which she could take except ion. She iigalr had recourse to tliu pious look ing floor walker, who said something and smiled. She returned to confront the man whom she now hated. Shu Informed him in a hurrying way that this "Romeo and Juliet" was tliu only ono of Mr. Shakes peare's works in the house, ami that thu house had no publisher's list. "Very well," said the gentleman. "I will look at this, If you please, and see whoso version It is, If you havu no objection." "Certainly," she replied. And thu way she said itl Hu looked at tho ropy for a half hour. It seemed a whole afternoon to thu young lady. Then hu said to her: "Of course it is not your fault. I don't blame you or your house. You could not have known tills, of course. You will par don me, of course. " This was ono time when she had nothing to say She stood llkuu plecu of statuary that is to bu rallied olT for a fair. Tliu gentleman seeing her position con tinued: "According to this edition of 'Romeo and Juliet,' Juliet kills herself, when thu truth is she was smothered to death by Othello with a pillow. Thu book Is a fraud." "I had not read it," tliu young lady an swered in a subdued manner. "Imu hero to sell books not to read tliein," shu con cluded "Of course not," tliu gentleman leplled, relenting. "Havu ) on Mother Drowning' Melodies?" ho asked "You mean 'Mother (loose?' " "No. 1 menu Mother Drowning. Shu used to bu Mother Cooso, hut she is mar ried." Tho young lady put it plu In her hair and said something nlioiit "high tlmu shu was." "Where Is tho soap counter?" asked thu wretch. "Second aisle to thu right. That way." Tho young lady felt relieved when ho asked her for the soap counter. It was an indication that lie was going. Hut lie Hu ge red. "Mayls) you havu It here," he said. "I want a Isiok of poetical quotations. I have made a bet with a friend of mine that Campbell Is tlio author of tliu line 'While there's life there soap,' mid it occurred to mu 1 might llud it at tliu soap counter, but maylM) you have it here." "I think you will llnd it in the second aisle to the light," she said with iudliTer enoe. "Find what" lie asked; "tho book on quotations or" "No," she shrieked, "thu soap!" And shu left 111 n standing there while she went to wait on an old gentleman wiio was looking at thu Juvenile prints of Noah's ark at thu far end of tliu counter.
