She won the case and was immediately Inundated with flowery congratulations from (i i friends, all of whom were clad to sec the tunnngcr go down. Not content with her victory, how ever, the belle must needs crow ovei her beaten manager by packing up the choicest of these telegrams and dis patching them to his house, with the intimation that he might make what use of them ho thought proper. She regretted this last concession the next morning. Taking her at her word, the manager pasted the telegrams on a board outside the music hall, headed them "What Miss Kllghtle's friends think of her engagement" and left the public to assume which engagement, the professional or the matrimonial, was meant. Then followed such messages us "Good for you. old girl!" 'Tinned the old horror at last!" "Don't let him wriggle off the hook!" "Stick to him till you get the dibs!" "Congratula tions on your splendid haul!" Another action for damages against the tnnnagcr Is now pending. Sammy Told.
