The Rape of the Collar.

The weather was responsible for the whole
thing, says the New York Evening Sun. 1t
was rather cold yesterday, and it happened
that he wore hiswinter overcoat. He was
an actor-one of the sort that they nail to
the pavement in front of the Morton house.
But he wasn't in Union sqQare-he was
crossing Thirteenth street at Sixth avenue a
few minutes past o'clock yesterday after
noon. A long row of Macy's delivery wag-
ons stood in Thirteenth street, and the last
horse in the row had hauled around so that
he stood almost on the crosswalk. He con-
templated the passers-by with discon-
tented air. He was tired and hungry.
just then the actor came along in his win
ter overcoat, walking uptown. The over
coat was made of smooth, dark cloth. and
was adorned with wonderful collar and
cuffs of long, yellow, hairy fur, that blew
about in the wind as the actor moved along
with dignity.
just as he came near the upper corner Of
Thirteenth street his straying glance fell
upon pretty girl who had come out of the
big shop from her work. He paused and
endeavored to hold herewith his glitterinG
eye, like the marine gentleman in the poem
He stood stock still and gazed.
The hungry horse found that weird colla
of hay like texture showed right under hi
nose. He didn't waste any time. HI
gathered in good mouthful of it and bit il
off with a tug that nearly pulled the acto
upon his back in the street.
Then a smile arose among the crowd tina
Jared the elevated railroad.
