WILSON HARDWARE CO. m. = Roses and : Cherubs‘ By Lawrence Aljred Clay | L (m(.mz.byA:-odM terary ! “And, mother, you ought to h-vol seen that room when we got through with it!” “But don't get excited, Cherry,” cautioned her mother. “How can I help it when I'm go- ‘ing to earn fifty dollars a week and at the end of a year take us both to Europe!” “You mustn't be too sure about it.” “0, but I am. Sadie said I was .l natural born artist. Why, I was painting a cherub within half a day!” Miss Cherry Kinselt was a happy- looking young girl. Her mother was a widow with a moderate income, and the daughter had often wished that she could find some congenial employ- ment to earn her own way. Nothing could come of it until she had paid her chum, Sadie Newhall, a visit at Fall River. Fall River is noted for its great cotton mills; also for new and startling ideas. The idea that wouldn’t come to Miss Cherry at Albany came to her before she had been in Fall River two days. The Newhall mansion had a large and liberal garret. That was before the lumber trust got in its work. Such a garret nowadays would cost as much as a steam yacht. Of course Miss Sadie took Miss Cherry up to see that garret with its cobwebs, old ' trunks, broken chairs and romantic ; atmosphere. Miss Cherry gazed around her and felt inspiration clawing at the roots of her hair. A few hours later she had developed the grand idea. The garret, which looked to be two miles long by a mile in width, was to be decorated. The trunk was hauled into a corner and paints and brushes bought, and the circus opened with grand over- ture. The performance lasted three }weekl, and the work went on days and nights and Sundays. Young men called, but the young ladies were not at home. The minister called to pay his respects to the visitor and ask after the heathen of Albany, but he | Cherub After Cherub Was Developed. i didn't go to see her. She was 'just | beginning to paint the ears on her third cherub, and she wouldn't have stopped work for all the good men in the cotton town. ‘The two artists couldn’t quite agree as to the general plan of decoration, and so they did a very sensible thing. Thev divided off the garret | and took about a mile apilece as a | share. The groundwork of one part iw a vivid green and the other a { vivid red. There was to be no monot- { ony up there. Miss Sadle decided to decorate her mile with roses, and ! Miss Cherry went in for cherubs. ! What they did agree on, and it was | artistic to the core, was that the cher- ubs should seem to be trying to over take the roses as they fled around the garret. id It was no easy matter to try to paint a cherub on the plastered wall of a garret while standing on the head of an empty barrel that threat- ened to collapse at any moment. One who has not done this has not felt the real joys that now and them wallop the soul of a born artist. Cherub ' after cherub was developed by the hands of genius, | Some smiled and some wept, Some walked and some flew. Some grinned and some frowned. Some of-the fly- ers had legs long enough for clothes- | props, while others had legs sawed off at the knees to save cloth in mak- ing up the trousers. By what ap- peared to be an error of judgment at . first, but which later on turned out to be a happy thought, some of the cher- ubs were painted standing on their heads. This broke up what might have hien a monotony. There's many a family portrait by an artist that has been on the job for twenty years that would look betfer if turned bottom side up. Days and days—from ten to four teen hours a day and no strike talk, and the garret was finally finished. One first coming into it thought he had struck Paradise. After a look around he thought he had struck the | other place. The cherubs were a sun- | flower yellow on the green ground. ‘They stood out. They beckoned. They flew and fricked end pgomholed, It Man of His Word. “Is Bliggins a man of his word?” “Unfortunately so.

Noth- ing is said about the roses because they might have been hollyhocks when finished. Finished at last and praised by ev- ery member of the family, even to the baby, Miss Sadie insisted that her young man must be shown. He was a solemn young man who labored in an undertaker’s shop, and he could read all the jokes in a family ailmanac and sigh over them, but when led into that garret by the ear he gave a snort like a river horse. “Good Lord, but have you swal lowed your gum!” exclaimed Miss Sa- die as she thumped him on the back. The solemn young man lied about it. He sald he had. He snorted sev- eral times more, and then he set in and told a such whopping big lie that Satan wrote his name down on the records. He said the effect of that garret on him was soothing, placid, restful and complacent. He said there was no mistaking those cherubs for live codfish. He sald the expression of each and every one of them was even more natural than life. He sald that some low-down, beetle-browed villain might declare they had goose wings instead of those of angels, but let him come face to face with that man and the lle should be crammed down his throat. What the solemn young man said about Miss Sadle’s roses doesn’t mat- | ter, as they were married a year later, and he never let her paint another. Miss Cherry returned home to take up decorating. She had graduated in the art. She was all there when it came to the cherub business. The solemn young man wrote down to the city to a bachelor friend of his, and the bachelor called at the Kinsell house and told Miss Cherry that he wanted his billlard room decorated. ‘When- she called to see it next day he gave her carte blanche to go ahead as she thought best. Everything would be moved out and the key giv- en to her, and she could use her own taste. He would be away for a month, and she would be undisturbed. In five minutes the girl-artist had decided on just how she would deco- rate, but she didn’t give it away. No one saw her work until it was fin- ished. The groundwork was the same as the Fall River garret. The cherubs this time had white bodies and blue wings and legs. Whether walking or flying each one carried a billiard cue under his arm. Between each two cherubs was a glass of the foamy and a pile of billiard balls. Nothing was left to the imagination, nor was there anything to which the most fastidi- ous could object. The old bachelor returned home at night just as the last wing had been painted on the last cherub. He let himself into the house and turned on the .gas in the billlard room. One long look, and then there was a heavy fall. The housekeeper and the valet got him to bed, and after an anxious hour the doctor said he would pull through. Then he went to look at the billiard room himself. When he came back he was deathly pale and his knees were shaking. “Who—who did it?” he gasped. “A mighty good-looking young lady,” was the reply. ut you can’t—can’t stand it!” “No. “You'll have to sell or move!” “Yes." “lI can’'t guarantee your sanity if you stay here.” “I couldn’t expect you to.” “White bodies and blue legs!” “I—1 saw them.” “And carrying fence rails under their arms or wings!” “And yaller groundwork!"” “Look here, Steven: aid the doc- tor, “you've got to do something.” “Commit sutcide?" “No. You've got to fall in love with your decorator and marry her, and then burn the house down so as to get rid of those cherubs without hurt- ing her feelings.” “Is there no other way, doctor?” “None, whatever.” The house wasn't burned down, but ten months later Miss Cherry Kinsell became Mrs. Charles Stevens, and the day after the wedding an explosion in the billlard room knocked the plas- ter off the walls and the poor cherubs into cocked hats. Deer 8prings Through Parlor Window. A small deer came to an untimely end early this afternoon following se- vere injuries sustained when the ani- mal jumped through the parlor win- dow at the home of W. Griswold, Jef- ferson street. The little deer ap- peared on Jefferson street about 13 o'clock. No one knows whence he came. He became frightened and jumped through the window at Mr. Griswold’s house. The family drove him out through another window and he again cut him- selt. Then he ran across to Ward street pursued by several boys, and was finally rounded up in a yard on Squire street. The damage to the Griswold parior and windows will smount to about $50. The only redress the family has is an appeal to the next legislature or some succeeding one.—Hartford Timea. “Horror Tea™ Is the Latest. The latest novelty in “at home" is & “horror tea.” “Please bring your pet horror” is the invitation sent out to friends. If you have been invited to a “horror tea,” here are some ideas as to what you might take with you. A man would cause great amusement by wearing an arrangement of unpald bills, stitched on his coat. Ladies could bring toy insects, imitation mice, or any animal which they par ticularly dislike. Ingenious Youngster.

THAT TALL, DARK MAN By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON. (Copyright, m&'rbsyy;:‘l’ca‘xgl““ Newspa- Don met them at the train — Lor- raine, her mother and father. It seemed centuries since he had seen her, Lorraine, of course, although it had been but two weeks since she had one away. 8 The plzv.lng had been full of fore- boding for Don. Such a trip was sure to be prolific in young men. To make things more ominous, Lorraine had intimated before leaving that Signo- rina Lotta had foretold tantalizingly vague things of a tall young man with brown eyes and dark hair. This was thorns and nettles to Don, whose eyes were gray and hair a decided auburn. He now searched her face anxious- ly. Had the dark young man mate- rialized in the fortnight's vacation? There was nothing there to tell. Lor- raine was as sweet and smiling—and bafing—as ever. He sighed. He was asked to stay to dinner and accepted gratefully. He had a dogged determination not to leave until he had verified, or dissipated, his fears. Two things favored him—the mocn and the arrival of the preacher. The back yard swing soon had two occu- pants. Lorraine suddenly became talkative. “The whe'e thing was heavenly, Don. From the minute we left until just now.” “Thanks!" “You're welcome, grouchy! T'd think youw'd be glad to see me back. Instead you've been glooming around like a funeral. Well, I'm going to tell vou all about it anyway. I've just oot to tell someone. Do you remem- ber about Signorina Lotta—all she said about a dark man and every- thing?"” “No!" killing a mosquito. “What did she sav?
