'Oufasten her corrsutts,' exclaimed
Mr.. Clancy in authoritative tones
"Dose embulences hat better be calf,
airnd id?" aueried Sweitelheim, hopping
his brow, and hopping up and down as
excitedly as man weighing in the
neighborhood of 800 pounds can conven-
iently do.
At that moment the PROSTATE girl
opened her eyes, looked inquisitively
about for an instant, and then sat up.
Mcnamara asked her IL she was dead.
"Is that you, Mac?'' said the girl,
drawing her hand across her forehead
and making an effort to gather her wits
together. Then in a moment, having
apparently got her bearings, she once
more addressed the amazed Irishman.
"Say, Mac, did 1 bring the beer can

"Far hivin sake!' was all the reply
Mr.. MCNAMARA could make to this aston

"Ya, - shouted Sweitelheim. "Hers

The German had picked up tin pail
that had been lying in the gutter a few
feet away from the girl. The girl took
it from the German, looked inside to see
If it was empty, and then rose to her
feet. As she walked to the door of the
tenement she turned toward the staring
group and said:
"When Maggie Mulholland gets the
can away from my face before I've got
me share of beer she II know it, see.
m going up on the roof again to get
even on that fall.
The remarkable creature passed inside.
The act Is she did not get back to the
roof that night. When she had reached
her own landlng-the fourth in the tene-
ment-she found that she had no
strength left, and had to go into her own
rooms and to bed. She was up the next
day, however, and Maggie Mulholland,
who caused her fall from the roof,
offered fearful apology. Miss Demp-
sey accepted the same, and in that way
peace was restored in Sullivan street.
The ingenious plan 10 be put into prac-
tice by chubby limbed burlesque ac-
tress, OF wearing sixty-four button kid
gloves on her legs, has already produced
its expected effect upon the sensational
girls of the town. 1t could be relied
upon that at least one giddy thing in the
fashionable set would adopt the fashion,
and 1t is pretty safe to assume that New
port would be that giddy things abiding
place. The Newport girls are extremely
stately creatures. but IL seems sometimes
as though the most daring of all sinful
sprites lurked within them, aud there
fore it is not surprising that one
reported at her glovers inn
mediately upon hearing of the
actress pedal kids. The old glove
maker listened patiently and respectfully
TO the young woman's explanation of her
needs, aud said that he thought he could
accommodate her with the desired arti-
cles in the course of week or so. AS be
spoke he took his tape measure from the
counter and approached the young lady.
The latter fiinched q little ana the old
man stopped, and thought for q mo-
meut.
'.Oh, yes, :" he muttered to himself,
eyes see. Marie, my wife, had better
do that
He called his wife and asked her to
take the young LADY, measure for pair
of kid tights. After this was accom-
plished in the little room at the back of
the shop, the young lady asked the
glover how many buttons he thought the
