“1 would like to see some diamond
ring,” said a foppish young man
with a dainty manner of speech,
entering a three bail emporivm on
HalsteJ street, near Taylor.
“You would, eb?’ { said Marx, the
proprietor, to himself, as he traveled
alongji is counter toward the threat
ening to be customer; “but I bet me
dot feller isk no gooc,” and aloud,
in the most genial manner, “Any
ding you vant, sir, you 3hall haf.,’
The young quibkly chose, a ling
with a carat single stone of prime
light and requested that it be kept
apart for him, as he had no money
at that moment. Marx cleared
away the rings, tvhen the young
man-suddenly leaaning over the
counter, indicated a spot upon the
shelf where the chosen ring should
be left until h is return. In the
movement his elbow went through
the glass top of the shawcase.
“Upon my word,” cried he, “that,
was t most awkward tuck. I do not
know w’hat to say. You may add
the damage to the price of the ring”
“Der glass cost only three dollar,”
said Marx with some ill grace. “Vhy
don’ you pay it now?”
"Why, sir, I am out of fund,” was
thg distressful protest.
“You vill e gscuse me if I correct
you,” blandly replied the broker, and
bending over the case he seized the
protruding end of a $20 bill and
plucked it from the young man’s
vest po r ket.
The purchaser was covered with
confusion and averred the he knew
uot that be had the money. He was
ready, however, to have the C03t of
toe glass deducted.
When Marx deposited that evening
the bank clerk returned to him a
$20 bill on which he bad deftly im
printed iu large violet le ters the
condemning word, “Counterfeit,”
