Wiggett, considerately. "Gin and beer," said Mr. Miller, with the air of a specialist. "Bed's the best thing for it," said Mrs. Tidger, whose temper was beginning to show signs of getting out of hand. Mr. Tidger rose and looked awkwardly at his visitors; Mr. Wiggett got up, and pretending to notice the time, said he must be going, and looked at Mr. Miller.
Miller, looking for a moment as though he would like to return the compliment, came back to everyday life, and bidding the company good- night, stepped to the door, accompanied by his rival. It was immediately shut with some violence. "They seem in a hurry," said Wiggett. "I don't think I shall go there again." "I don't think I shall," said Mr. Miller.
"Take your pick," said Mr. Miller. "You know Mrs. Pullen's got two thousand pounds " "Wiggett's going to have it," said the other; "he as good as told me so." "He's after her money," said the other, sadly. "Look 'ere, Smith, I want you to tell him she's lost it all. Say that Tidger told you, but you wasn't to tell anybody else. Wiggett 'll believe you." Mr.
"And she " prompted Mr. Miller, displaying a polite interest. "She ain't so young as she was," said the carpenter. "Cares of a family," said Mr. Wiggett, plumping boldly. "I always thought Mrs. Pullen was younger than her." "So did I," said Mr. Miller, "much younger." Mr. Wiggett eyed him sharply.

Smith allowed the better feelings of our common human nature to prevail to the extent of reducing his demands to half a dozen fowls on account, and all the rest on the day of the marriage. Then, with the delightful feeling that he wouldn't do any work for a week, he went out to drop poison into the ears of Mr. Wiggett. "Lost all her money!" said the startled Mr. Wiggett. "How?"
It was rather hard to have Miller hiding his lack of invention by participating in his compliments and even improving upon them. It was the way he dealt at market-listening to other dealers' accounts of their wares, and adding to them for his own. "I was noticing you the other day, ma'am," continued Mr. Wiggett. "I see you going up the road with a step free and easy as a young girl's."
It was a deal after his own heart, and not the least satisfactory part about it was the way he had got the better of Wiggett. He completed his scheme the following day after a short interview with the useful Smith. By the afternoon Wiggett found that his exclusive information was common property, and all Thatcham was marvelling at the fortitude with which Mrs.
"I don't know how," said his friend. "Tidger told me, but made me promise not to tell a soul. But I couldn't help telling you, Wiggett, 'cause I know what you're after." "Do me a favour," said the little man. "I will," said the other. "Keep it from Miller as long as possible. If you hear any one else talking of it, tell 'em to keep it from him. If he marries her I'll give you a couple of pints."
