BINGLE BY George Barr McCutcheon Author of "Graustark," "The Hollow of Her Hand," "The Prince of Graustark," etc.

Bingle, lower New York, somewhere to the west of Fifth Avenue and not far removed from Washington Square--in the wrong direction, however, if one must be precise in the matter of emphasizing the social independence of the Bingle family--and be it here recorded that without the genial aid of that grate of coals the living-room would have been a cheerless place indeed.

Bingle had spent most of the evening in trying to coax heat from the lower regions into the pipes of the seventh heaven wherein he dwelt, and without the slightest sign of success.

Bingle had applied with earnest though artless disregard for subsequent odours; packages done up in white and tied with red ribbon, neatly double-bowed, formed a significant centrepiece for the ornate mahogany library table--and one who did not know the Bingles would have looked about in quest of small fry with popping, covetous eyes and sleekly brushed hair.
