My that It will be seen what sort of iPian clal and moral status Sydney Inn!. Hut Sydney doesn't como Into this tale. It concents Agatha and her thou Band dollars. Well, ono day a very cranky old gentleman came to one of Agnthn's tables. He muttered and fumed nnd scowled and quite forgot to tip Agathn. Ho went away, and Agnthn hoped he'd never como bade. However, ho did como back. He wns always coining back. He sewned too well-to-do a man to frequent such n cheap Joint as Agatha's. Hut he was not too well-to-do to forget to tip her.

There he would Bit, scowling nnd muttering: "I won't pay a cent more than five thousand," or 'The- dirty scoundrel, to try to do mo over that proposition." While he wns lighting It all out the eggs would get cold, and then poor Agatha, would get the blame. He made her more and more norvj ous nil the time. She grew to dreaiT tho appearance of the old gentleman. Ho always sat at her table, too. That was the woist of It. And a tip? Once In a while? Never, never I Agatha was verv. very nervous one day when he came In. To begin with, she had had a quarrel with Sydney the evening before, lie said be had n chance to buy a share in a shoe store for a thousand dollars and he'd get It If he stole It or had to marry an ostrich. Those were his exact words and such a meaning look as ho cast at her! Agatha had wept all night, not about the tist rli h. but became she couldn't raise a thousand dollars, for she had a soft heart, and she loved Sydney. Then the next morning was Friday, the thirteenth. And then the old gen tlemau came In. Agatha had never seen him In such a fury. He muttered and scowled, and looked as If he might drop dead at any moment from apoplexy. He Hum: himself down and ordered two hard boiled eggs and n glass of Ice water. "Here!" he roared live minutes lat er. "Put some Ice In this water, girl ! Whasermarrer with yon? Hurry It up!" And then the thing happened I Agatha had Just got the Ice on the spoon when the old gentleman craned forward with such a fiendish scowl that she dropped It down the old gen tleninn's wide collar. Let us draw n veil over the proceed ings. Agatha was Instantly tired by the outraged proprietor, and instantly taken back as soon as tho old gentle man hnd snorted his way out of the door, swearing that ho would never re turn, still engaged In the futile effort to find the piece of Ice all that was left of It. And Agatha wept salt, bit ter tears, nnd they had to give her Ice wnter to console her. Three days Inter a strange man came Into the restaurant and Inquired for Agatha.
