THE DOWNFALL.
FOR MANY YEARS Tobias Tarr lqokcd like a plutocrat ; ho
drovo a largo and costly car, and wore a stovepipe hat. As
he was married tp my niece, I felt impelled to say, "This princely
lavishness must cease, or you'll go broke some day. The coin
you earn from week to week is all you have in view, and you the
bill collectors seek, to spring accounts long due. Oh, prithee
heed this redo of mine, for I am old and sane, and put some doub
loons down in brine, against the day of rain. And failing this
some day you'll come a humbled, cringing gent, to ask of me a
goodly sum, that yon may pay your rent." His laughter rum
bled through his beard, with merriment he roared, and hothouse
fruit that day appeared upon his groaning bonrd. There eamo a
strike, and weary men lined up in jobless ranks, aiid scarcely one
in twelve or ten had money in the banks. Tobias in a week was
broke, and started pawning things. His shirts of silk, that cost'
eight hones, brought fifty cents a throw; his phonograph of gol
den tones ho hud to let it go! Tobias struts around no more,
he is a shrunken man; and now ami then he seeks my door, to bor
row what ho' can. Some quavers in his accents lurk,' as he re
marks, "Oh, eliee, if ever I get back to work, the precious plunks
won't floe!" " ' ,
