New you are apt to get laughed at if you spring any dime novel stories on the average man in the street. ‘Once when I was in London on a busi- ness trip I was seized with a great longing for oysters. Visions of tiem _ broiled, steamed and on the Half shell, such as used to eat in New York, Baltimore and Washington, haunted me every time I sat down to a meal, but none of them ever appeared on the table. English friends as- sured me that I could get them if I only went to the right place, but I never suc- eeeded in getting any of these men to give me tlie address. One day I started out to find an oyster house on my own hook. “Tn the Strand I found what I was look- ing for. It was a typical London eating- house, but the sign ‘Oysters in every style’ reminded me of home. I eutered and, as a feeler, ordered a dozen on the half shell. The waiter who served me was as solemn as a bishop. The oysters he brought me were the smallest and meanest-looking bi- valves Iever.saw. They had a shriveled-up, forlorn look about them that was not at all tempting and there was nothing in the taste of them to remind me of the delicious Blue Point or the more robust Rockaway. “When I had finished eating then thought it would bea good idea to earry away the shells to sow to my friends at home. They would serve as a warning to anyone intending to cross the ocean against oysters as they are served in England’s capital. So I wiped the shells dry with my, napkin and slipped them into my pocket. When the solemn-looking waiter returned to take the rest of my order he looked first at my plate and then at me. Then he glanced about the floor on both sides of my chair and finally stooped and looked under the table. “ ‘What's the trouble?’ I asked, languid- ly. “Beg pardon, sir,’ he said, ‘but what’s become of the shells?’ “Do you mean the oyster shells?” I asked, without any particular show of in- tere: fost certainly,’ he returned, again poking his head under the table. most Strange, whatever has become them.’ “ ‘Nothing strange about that,’ I said, calmly. ‘I ate them.’ “‘Hate them!’ he cried, with his eyes bulging. ‘You must be joking, sir.’ “Not at all, I went on. ‘Everybody in America, where I live, eats the shells as well as the oyster. In fact, in some of the states they throw the oysters away and eat the shells alone. In Georgia they eat them with clay.” “The waiter’s jaws dropped and his eyes continued to bulge. He was so flustered that he got his orders mixed and brought me the food intended for somebody else. He got'things straightened out after awhile, but the look qf dumb amazement never left his face. “After T had eaten the meal I glanced leisurely around and saw with surprise that nearly every eye in the place was fastened on me. The waiter who served me was talking to the man at the desk, who, I afterwards learned, was the proprie- tor, and he was craning his neck to get a look at me.+ “‘Tt’s the shells that’s bothering them,’ I said to myself. ‘Well/I kept them guess- ing as a reward for the measly oysters they gave me.” “When I started to go out the proprietor was standing-at the door. “*4 word with you, sir,’ he said, po litely. “What ‘is it? I inquired, innocently. ‘The money I gave sou was good, I trust?” “Indeed, it was,’ he replied. ‘It wasn’t about the money I wished to speak, but about the oysters.’ “ ‘Oh, about the shells, I suppose,’ I said, carelessly: ‘Your waiter seemed surprised when I told him I had eaten them.’ “‘T confess it surprised me, also,’ said the eating-house man. ‘I never heard of it before.’ “ ‘Tt isa very common thing in eres I seid, and went my way. “Nearly every day for three ae chia wert to that eating-house for a bite at noon and there was always a gathering there to see the American who ate oysters, shells and all. Of course, I never ordered any more on the half-shell because I was watched too ¢losely to slip the shells into my pocket. I told the proprietor that the English oysters averen’t big enough to suit me. He offered to try to gé& me some of a larger size, but I wouldn’t hear of his going to the trouble. %; “Every time he talked to me, and that was nearly every day, he managed to bring the conversation around to America in gen- eral and the devouring of oyster shells in. particular. I found him to be a man of more than ordinary intelligence. More- over, he possessed a fine fund of common sense. But there-was a yarn about Ameri- ca and Ameff€ins he youldn’t swallow without question. “The day before T was to sail for home I went around to the eating house for my last visit, and when I was going out I bid good-by to the proprietor. Then I put my hand in my pocket and pulling out the 12 identical shells I had taken three months before, laid them on the desk before hia eyes. “Tt couldn’t go away without making a confession,’ I said. ‘Here are the shells. ) I didn’t eat them at all, but carried them away in my pocket.” “Well, what’ do you think? He simply wouldn’t believe me. » Neither would the waiters. They had all gotten it fastened in their minds that it svas'the custom in Amer ica to eat oyster shells and the evidences I produced was not sufficient to make them believe otherwise. But that was a long time ago. I don’t think you could make aro in London believe such a tale now.” —N, Y.

HUSTOR, (Copyright, 1900, by Dally Story Pub. Co.} “Youse fellers don’t know nothin’ "bout it,” Miggsy said to us. “I may be presi: dent some day.” And he would pull his ragged sweater flown and throw back his sharp little shoul ders and wrinkle his freckled little nose with quite a superior air, while the rest of the newsboys would gaze at him with much respect. And he told what he would do if he ever lived in the white house, and Miggsy had. as he would say, no home Ie sometimes slept in the | Newsboys’ house and sometimes in a dry | goods. box. But he had a hard fist and a he was always listened to when he “laid | down de law to de gang,” which was pret- ty often. ‘ i Miggsy was very fond of listening to his own voice. Ile liked to talk of anything | from politics down to the quality and Price | of the sandwies-wagen man’s “red hots.” He would talk over the last’ strike with | “de gang,” while they waited in néwspaper alley for the “extry ‘dition,” and once in ewhile Miss Kate would meet him and} of the “show” and the last coon song and mai other things, Miss Kate was on the editorial staf of | one of the papers Miggsy sold, and they | were very great friends. One day Miggsy bad had bad luck with | ais paps. It had been cold and stormy and the sleet had driven into people’s facea anything else they could help. Moggsy was hungry and he had tied the tagged rope that held his “trousers” tight er around his empty stowach and was an alley, when suddenly he felt two soft. warm fingers slip inside the neck of his | faded sweater. It was Miss Kate, who was iolding her muff against Ler face to shield it from the bitter wind, waile with the other hand she pointed Miggsy’s nose around the corner toward Benny’s restau- rant, Benny’s restaurant was a cosy little place in the basement of a big office building, and the two were soon sitting at one of the small tables, safe from the cold. - “Gee, dis is luek,” said Miggsy. “S’help me I wuz stun broke, Miss Kate. De raih wet all me poiper’s and nobody wanted none, enyhow.” ‘AN right, Miggs. Bring us something good and hot, Benny,” said Miss Kate, as Benny, in his clean white apron, came up smiling. ‘What do you want, Miggs?” “Stoo!” said Miggs, hugging his little wmpty stomach fondly. “Irish stoo, wid .ots er ingins.” Their suppers were soon before them and” Miggsy’s restless tongue was silen> for awhile, But the Irish stew showed signs of his hearty appetite by a rapid disappear- ance, and Miggsy, with a loud sigh, turned his attention to his coffee and a corner of pumpkin pie. Miss Kate was rather pale and had a tired look im her eyes, but they smiled as they rested on Miggsy’s ugly little face, Her own face had a sad look sometimes, but when Miggsy chattered, it seemed te forget, to look sad for awhile. “And what luck yesterday, Miggs?” she akes, leaning back and sipping her cof- e8. “Yestiday it. wuz perty decent,” said Miggsy. “But it ended bad las’ night. A gent went out to de Nort’ side an’ he took me wid him to carry his grip an’ he gavo me a dollar. But Tough Body snaked me into de alley an’ swiped it from me. But [ told de gang an’ we won't do a ting ter \im wea we ketch ’imr~ “Well, that wns hard Iuek!” said Miss Kate. “And a whole dollar, too! It isn’s eften you get that ina lump, eh, Miggs?” “Well, 1 ain't had no fotygraph of my- self gettin’ that much in some time,” said Miggsy, mournfully. “Der gent wuz ail right, too, he wuz. He ast me all bout meself an’ he didn’t put on no airs jest ’cause he wore swell togs. We zat togedder in der car and talked all de way out. I tol’ ’im who me fren’s wer, an’ { tol’ *im ’bout you writin’ fer der poi- er an’ bout me an’ you havin’ suppers at. benny’s an’ wot a bully cook der wer here. An’ he sed he would try it here, mebbe, hisself. You see he has bin erway fer five years, an’ wuz nachelly intrested in wot wuz goin’ on.” ‘Miggsy paused over a large mouthful of pie. “Say, dat’s genovine pun’kin pie a’right, e’right! It’s out er sight.” “Have another piece, Miggsy?” Miggsy untied the ropg around his waist for the second time since he sat down and felt the top of his “trousers” thought fully. There seemed to be still room and Benny brought the-pie. “Der gent seemed ter be intrested in us| newspaper folks,” Miggsy went on, be tween bites. “An’ I t’ought maybe he wanted to be a reporter or somethin’ by the way he pumped me. Ne ast wot kind er writin” yon done an’ wot poiper it wus an’ I give tim der hull song an’ dance ali der way out ter der Nort’ side. An’ wer he tipped me cer hull dollar, I fell off dev geat.” The second piece of pie was gone und | Miggsy remarked that he “wuz full clean ap ter his pompadour.” Then he picked ap his ragged little cap and waited con- tentedly while Miss-Kate went to the desk with the check. As they at last reached the steps leading up to the sidewalk, a gentleman who was descending stopped and exclaimed: “Why, Miggs! Is it you?” “Gee, Miss Kate, it’s de Nort’ side gent!” cried Miggsy. But the next instant he had jumped to Miss Kate's side, with his ragged | cap dashed on the ground and this grimy little fists doubled up. For “de Nort’ side gent” had grasped both of Miss Kate’s hands in his and she was leaning against the wall, white and trembling. “At last. My dear girl! I have found you!” be was saying, in a low voice. And Miss Kate was murmuring: “It is you?” with quivering lips, whilea strange radiance was shining in her dark eyes and chasing away all the shadows, And next day Miggsy told de gang al) about it. “He had been Miss Kate’s ‘steady,’ yer know. But dey had scrapped an’ he went away an’ wuz gone fivé years. An’ he t ought e wuz married to anudder feller. An’ w’e went down to der poiper ter find out wher she lived.
