THAT settled it. He did do it. There was

the yard. I'd heard about the danger of such
a proceeding, but never could stand to see

and the house pleasant little brick. When

and retreated discreetly to the alley. The
rescued fair one had by this time regained her

Hit him, Jack! hit himr she howled.
Throw him out! You white-headed, fat old
fool, you; what is it your business what we do

And Jack tried to, but I got out the gate
and went toward my own barn with discreet, il

AN INTERESTING FAN.
She Was Pretty Girl and Carried the
Pictures of Celebrities.

From the Illustrated American.
An extremely pretty girl, who is faithful
attendant at the philharmonic in winter and
has Of late carried fan that attracts a good
deal of attention. 1t is one of those Japanese
affairs with few slender bamboo sticks and
the paper a rough greenish gray, decorated i'll
black characters. On each panel the owner
has transferred cabinet-sized photograph OF
one of the great composers. First removing
the picture from the card on which il was orig
inally mounted. she has neatly pasted it on the
fan. Engravings have served when photos
were unobtainable, and using both sides of the
fan she has found space for fourteen portraits
Some deft pen and-ink work has answered to
frame the heads and below each one is a bar
of music from the authors greatest work and
executed with so much finish that a genuine
little treasure is the result
The same young woman is almost as much
of an enthusiast regarding painters, poets and
She tells of three other fans in her possession
treated in like manner. One has photographs
of Tennyson, Browning. Longfellow and
Bryant, with etchings of Byron, Shakespeare,
Herrick, Sir John Sucking. De Musset, Dante
and Swinburne-a thorough mixture of nation
alities and generations. Below is the single
couplet, for each one, that she considered after
much thought to be the most perfect OF their
compositions. This collection has been a
source of interest to its owner, has not cost one
cents outlay in money, but several years Of
palnStaking effort from time to time, that rem
ders each fan of distinct value.
