Sadie said I was a natural born artist. Why, I was painting a cherudb within half a day!” Miss Cherry Kinsell was a happy- looking young girl. Her mother was & 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 1s ' moted for its great cotton mills; also | for new and startling ideas. The idea i 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 & garret nowadays would cost as {much as a steam yacht. Of course | Miss Sadie took Miss Cherry up to | ee 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 1la(er she had developed the grand idea. The garret, which looked to be two miles long by a mile in width, ‘was to be decorated. I The trunk was hauled into a corner jand paints and brushes bought, and i the circus opened with grand over- ture. The performance lasted three weeks, 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 aek after the heathen of Albany, but he Cherub After Cherub Was Developed. 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 a8 to the general plan of decoration, and 80 they did a very sensible thing. They divided off the garret and took about a mile apiece as a share. The groundwork of one part was 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. 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- rrops, 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- tbs were painted standing on their heads. This broke up what might have been a monotony. There's many & family portrait by an artist that has been on the job for twenty years that would look better if turned bottom side up. Days and days—from ten ta 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 frisked and gamboled.

Noth- ing is said about the roses because they might have been hollyhocks } when finished. it. Hg said 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 said 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 lie should be crammed ' down his throat. What the solemn young man said Sadie’s roses doesn’t m: e-; 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 bathelor 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 flylng each one carried a billiard cue under his arm. Between each two cherubs was a glass of the foamy and a pile of billlard balls. Nothing was left to the imagination, nor was there anything to which the most fastidi- ous could object. 1 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 billiard 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. “But you can't—can’t stand it!” “No." “You'll have to sell or move!” “Yes l | “I can’t guarantee your sanity if ; you stay here.” “I couldn't expect you to.” “White bodies and blue legs!” “I—I saw them.” “And carrying fence rails under their arms or wings!"” A yaller groundwork!” k here, Stevens,” said the doo: ou’'ve got to do something.” “Commit suicide?” ! “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 billiard room knocked the plas- ter off the walls and the poor cherubs into cocked hats. | 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 almanac and sigh over them, but when led into that garret by the ear he gave a snort lke a river horse. “Good Lord, but have you swal- lowed your gum!” exclaimed Miss Sa- die as. she thumped him on the bagk. The solemn young man lied about 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, Jet ferson street. The little deer ap- peared on Jeflerson street about 18 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- self. Then he ran across to Ward street pursued by several boys, and ‘was finally rounded up in a yard om Squire street. The damage to the Griswold parioe and windows will amount to about $50. The only redress the family has is an appeal to the next legislature or some sucoseding one.—Hartford Times. “Horror Tea” Is the Latest.

HANDLING THE CASH | By LAWRENGE ALFRED CLAY. C yrig 15 y McClure Newspa- | They had been married six monlhli -George Curtiss and Kitty Cline. All‘ had gone weli, when one afternoon Kitty's Aunt Prue came visiting. She hadn’t seen the young wife since her marriage and, after drawing a long breath and getting a good toe bold, she said: “And now I want to ask about George: . . “Is he a lg(ind and loving husband?” “Why, Aunt Prue, George is just the best man in this world!” was the enthusiastic reply. : “How much salary does he get?” “Twenty-five per week.” “And how much do you save per week?” “Save? Why, anything as yet." “Then it's wuss than I thought far —far wuss Who handles the morey”” “Why, George does, of course.” “That's, it—that's it! He handles the money and ¢:es what he pleases with it. It is no wonder.” “Dut doesn't the husband always save the money?” “He dces where the wife is an idiot. Lord alive, child, any wife is five times as capable of handling the we haven't saved house money as the husband. We never should have been worth a hun-| dred dcllars if 1 hadn't taken the| money matter inte my own hands.” | When the subject was changed the | wife found herself thinking it would | be v nice to handle the money, | but alincst sure the husbanfl would not consent, but he came lmnw] with a surprise for her. It happened | he had heard that Aunt Prue was at| the house that afternoon, and know-| ing her ideas on finance he suspected “Kitty, I've been thinking things over today.” “What thines?" “Dou’t you think you could make my v further than I do?” I do. but—" “Then I'll tirn 1% over to you for 1ths.” “You a “You can r thing.” un the louse and every: v, 1 surely thovght you would it 1 have ¢ monthe hard. siail surprise you, dearest.” She surprised him all right.

For dinner they now had a round, ard seeing that she was a tenderfoot the butcher had charged her the same The grocer weighed her sugar and butter short, and there was a skimping of potatoes. In two weeks, however, the wife had managed to save $14, and then Aunt Prue came again, “You don't want to put your money In the bank,” said the old lady. “You send for one of those second-hand sewing machines that are advertised as good as new. Ynu can surely save thirty-five dollars.” “T will.” “A man called at the house yes terday with stock in a silver mine to sell. 1t is a stock to be sold only to ministers and widows, but after some | coaxing, and after promising never to tell, he let me have fifty dollars® worth of stack for $15. It will pay dividends of 50 per cent “But I'll buy the stoek for and in two weeks you can > for it. Never miss a mood thin it you ! can help i*.

During the last month of the three U now v the husband looked so starved end | anxious that the wife expected to hear him say any day that he must turn to barks and roots to get enoush to fill up on. but he carried the thing through like a patriot. “Well, the twelve weeks ar said the husband one evening. “And 1 think I can show you that T am a bit of a financier,” was the proud reply. The sewing machine had been brought over that afternoon. and the husband was led into its presence. “How much?" “Only fifteen dollars.” “T know of three second-hand ma- chines here in town that you can buy ot five dollars each, but never mind that.” ‘Here Is some silver stock that Prue bought for me.” e “Then she ought to give you your money back, for that swindle was ex. posed years ago.” “'Oh, George, have I been swindled ? “Most surely, but what else?" “I bought two seashore lots.” “I heard vou had and looked them up.
