Reprinted in 'The Works' under the title of 'The Pervasion of Rouge.' Lines suggested by Miss Cissy Loftus.

The only treasure he found in the woods was Tinka Jallinger!” A BELLE OF CANADA CITY Cissy was tying her hat under her round chin before a small glass at her window.

She bounded down the stairs and into the front parlor, for their house possessed the unheard-of luxury of a double drawing-room, albeit the second apartment contained a desk, and was occasionally used by Cissy's father in private business interviews with anxious seekers of “advances” who shunned the publicity of the bank.

She knew the difference between the two men, and had a vivid recollection of hearing her own father express his opinion of Cissy's respected parent as a “Gold Shark” and “Quartz Miner Crusher.” It did not, however, affect her friendship for Cissy.

She only said, “Let's come!” caught Cissy around the waist, pranced with her out into the veranda, and gasped, out of breath, “Where are we goin' first?” “Down Main Street,” said Cissy promptly.
