Flolomon Schorr was a ennnin b knavo,
ICncer to ma (to nnd ready to save,
Fond as a bnrbor might bo ot a "shavo,"
If onlv tho law its sanction givo.
Now tno reason for this recital
Is merelr to Bhow that, in saving his pelf,
Uhls cunning sharper outwitted himself,
And met with n tit icquttal,
On his fortieth birthday Solomon Schaff
Drgan to dream of a better unit,"
And to III o of bin bachelor Itvlmr t
Of com fo( ns he wab nbnoimallv thin.
Ho fancied a fair oao with double cliin.
"I'm lean nnd f he' fat,
Thoio's prollt in that,'
Quoth he i I ect moro than I'm giving,"
"CourUhip's a very oxtrnvagant thlnir,M
Sold Solomon Hchoff. "She'll look for a rtnp;."
Torhonbons, tKiuqts, nnd all that j
Jiutelioil waste my cash
on such prolltlefis tinshl
No, indeed. I'm loo sharp fur a Hat 1"
Ilewe'er, when tho wedding day drew near,
Mr: HchalT was seized with n bilcht idea.
So ho found out an urlist nccily.
"I waut a portrait, you want fcoma cnh,"
Driclly he nnid to youuc ltubens Plash t
' A hilt length will no,
'I hat's half-price lor you,
You'd better agree, you're ao seedy."
Well. Flash was in want, so tho uormiln was
struck.
"IIo I ho 1' said Solomon, "I'm in luck I"
And ho scarce could smother n titter.
Flash worked nwav hko a busy elf,
But no whistled softly nnd laughed to himself,
As ho gazed ou his scheming bitter.
A week had sped, then, to SchalTa delight,
Flash wroto thus: "Your pictuio is finished
qui to,
And renins you gtvo mo direction,
fttost carefully packed, to Hiss Carollno Reed i
And bo sure, worthy frloud,
Such a present mint tend
To tuci caso her xespectand affection."
Qn'ekly iho check was written nnd sent,
Aud the o veiling brought faolomon.wcll content,
To nt by tho sido of his charmer i
But. ulas 1 what n cruol luvereal is this I
Sho turns away from hl proffeiod kis,
And with looks of corn
Hho tnds him 'begone I"
As If Ids mere presence could hami her.
"Wliatis ltl" poor Solomon, wondering, cries.
Tho lndy surveys him with wrathful surprise,
Then suddenly luislng u curtain t
"Your pichehtl" in angriest tones alio ox
claimed t
And there stood a pi ct tiro most Bhowily framed,
Hut veiled in a shadow uncertain.
Nearer, still nrnrpr. then Rninmnn iimw
Dut ho started aghast what is this nicots his
view i
A lintf length tho artist had painted t

Cliafter & Prlgg had put their means
and wits together to do a miscellaneous
business in Higgleford, where they
soon became the two keenest hands at a
trade In that dickering llttlo town.
Why, tlioy would snap up n bargain
whllo Toby Squareman, one of your
slow-but-suro sort, was turning him
self nbout.
Tercival Prigg, the Junior partner,
was a dashlug young buck, a greot
ladles' man, and a candidate for matri
mony with the mental reservation, al
ways, that the transaction must be a
paying one.
Perhaps he would have pushed mat.
ters a little faster in that Hue but for a
question which perplexed him. Mlimlo
Sparks was young and handsome ; tho
widow Wheedlemau was neither ;
but botii were rich which was tho
richer, that was tho question that trou
bled Mr. Prigg.
He managed to divide his attentions
pretty equally between tho two, with
out committing himself to either. The
widow lie teltsureor wnenever lie clioso
to speak the word. The dlDlculty was
to put ou speaking it, slio nail such a
direct way of coming to tho point.
Wltu Jllnnto tlio case was diuerent.
To reach his ends with her, requited
nice tact nnd management. At times
he was almost driven to down-rlcht
courtship. Hut, at last, he felt suro,
that without going too far, he had made
an Impression ; and ho only waited to
find means to strike a balahco between
their fortunes in order to determine
whether it was the widow or Minnio
Sparks that was to bo Mrs. Perclval
Prlgg.
At this time came n great excitement.
The speculating world was thrown Into
n fever. Some one had Invented a plan
to enable railway trains to furnish their
own tracks. As soon as the last car
passed, the rails would bo taken' up by
machinery, carried forward, and laid
down again in front. Tho Endless
Track Company had purchased the pa
tent, and the stock was selling at fabu
lous prices, which everybody said would
be trebled in a month.
"I think I shall go to tho country for
a few days shootlug," said Perclval
Prlgg to his partner one day in tho slack
of tho seasou.
"It would db you good, I think,"
said Chaffer.
Instead ot lookhiL' un his hunting
equipments, Mr. Prig;; went to tho
hank aud drew out fully half tho firm's
balance, and then took the first train
for tho i-Hy.
"lluy mo five hundred Endless
Track I" ho shouted, rushing Into tho
olllco of Gorem Druthers, a celebrated
"bull" firm, and throwing down tho
money lor me margin.
"All ilgnt, sir," said tho sleek clerk,
taking up tho money and entering tho
order.
Perclval walked out n happy man.
Uu would be a uiilliuaalro In less than
teu days. lie would return tho amount
ho had taken of the (Inn's funds, and
his partner, whom he didn't intend to
share tho profits of this stroke, need be
nonu the wiser.
Uy tho next train Mr. Chaffer reached
tho city, having diawn from the bank
most ot what was left to tho linn's'
crtdlt.
"Sell mo (Ivo hundred r ISndloss
Track short I" he panted, bulling,
out of breath, Into tho office of Do llruln
& Cubb.
Chaffer, bo it understood, was n fero
cious "bear." Ho had no doubt but
stocks, generally, wcro on tho point o
tumbling, and that Endless Track, In
particular, would bo down to zero In a
fortnight. lie, too, contemplated rt
nice little "spec" on his own account,
without "letting on" to his partner.
Tho margin was paid and Mr. Chaf.
ter's order taken, that gentleman-, re
turning homo by tho evening expresi j.
for he wished to lie at his post when
Mr. Prlgg got back from his shoDting.
Tho tatter's absence proved .shorter
than had been expected. Tho shooting
wns poor, it seems, and a few days had
sufficed to tire him.
Morning after morning tho two part
ners, who we're accustomed to breakfast
together in bachelor style, glanced
eagerly over the city papers, devouring
tho financial articles with a flutter of
nnxjety which each did his test to con
ceal. One day Mr. Chaffer uttered a sup
pressed exclamation of joy. IIo had
just opened a letter from which dropped
a check for a largo amount. It was for
tils gains on Endless Track, which,
since ills "short" safe, had suddenly
dropped to almost nothing', and Messrs.
Do llruin & Cubb had seb.fd the oppor
tunity to "closo" for their customer.
Mr. Prigg was too busy witli ills paper
to notice nis irlenu's exultation.
'Blazes I" he exclaimed throush his
clenched teeth.
Whnt's tho matter?" inquired
Chaffer, with tho blaudncss of a man
entirely happy. ,
landless 'Irack cone to smash "
growled tho other.
I always sain it would," saiu unaf-
fer. "But what of It ? - wo'vo kept out
of It."
"I haven't," returned Prigg ', "half
onr capital's lu It I"
Chaffer cave a start : but tho recol
lection of the check in his packet in a
measure composed him. lie, at any
rate, would ha a gainer on the' whole!
"Tliero's one consolation, thoueli,"
Prigg continued. "Thoso rascals, Do
llruln & Cubb, who did so much to run
tho stock down, I see got caught on
soapnuoDio rrefcrred, and nave failed
for n million."
Whew I" whistled Chaffer, whoso
check, of course, was worthless.
It was now Trigg s turn to ask what
tho matter was. Cliafter made a clean
oreast of it. What was to bo done was
tho next question.
"First of all, keep our secret," sug
gested Chaffer ; "next, yoU must marry
tho widow or Miss Sparka, without a
moment's delay out wh what's this?''
glancing at a paraginph- which had
Just caught, his eyo "Kyte & Co.. too,
havo gone up, Didn't Miss Sparks
keep her money, thero ?"
"Ot course she did I found that out
a month ago,"
"Then you must marry the widow."
"Tho widow be it," said Prlgg, witli
a sigh of resignation.
And tho widow it was. Sho offered
no coy pleas for delay, nnd the nuptial
knot was speedily tied
"A a Itho fact Is," stammered
Prlgg over his coffeo ono morning, "I
find myself deucedly short at present,
my dear, and and If you only could
now that Is, you see, your check for a
thousand or so"
"Nothing could give roe more pleas
ure, Percy, dear," Interrupted the lady;
"but, you see, that provoking Endless
Track"
"What I did you, too, put your
money In It?"
"Every cent I had In tho world, Pert
cy, dear ; but then, you know, youand
everybody said it was so safe, and that
tho money would soon bo trebled, t
would have mentioned tho thing before,
but I didn't wish to mar this happy
season by speaking of sitcli trifles." ,
What "Percy, dear," would havo
said next, had he dared, I'm afraid
wouldn't look nico In print.
It didn't sooth his feelings to learn,
that Minnio Sparks, who didn't losa
her money after all, having drawn It
from Kye & Co. tho day before their
failure, by the advlco of Toby Square
man, married that gentleman shortly
after. If Percy, dear, felt any consoc
iation under the circumstances, It must'
have been of a nature akin to that de
rived by tho fox from tho sourness of
the grapes that hung above his reach.
