How Secretary HaU'S Picture Was Saved

form to the slightest ridge or irregu-
larity Of the paint. over this more and
more strips Of tissue paper were pressed
and nodded, then larger sheets of paper
a considerable thickness of them, and
then the tissue paper matrix was turned
over, placed on a prepared foundation.
and the real work. the removal of the
wood, began.
To understand the labor and patience
required one must realize that the wood
was nearly an inch thick and was re-
moved almost entirely with sandpaper
However. months of effort reduced the
wood TO the merest film. thinner than
the paint itself. and finally the last YES
tige Of wood disappeared, leaving only
the layer Of paint in its bed of tissue
The artists work was not yet COM
plete, however, very carefully some ad-
hesive substance was placed on the
paint, then a backing Of stiff. heavy
canvas. and then the whole thing was
set aside 70 dry.
Then it was found that the operation
had been a complete success. the color
ing was uninjured and no marks ap-
peared on the paint; with a coat Of var
nish it was ready for Mr.. Hay. and now
hangs over the great mantelpiece in the
dining room OF his Washington home.

The reports printed the day after the

Apparently the fellow realized the in
delicacy of going through the sump-
tuously furnished rooms of several hun
dred young women in a girls boarding
school. and shrank from the outrage.
Among those at the school are Miss
Helen Chaffee, daughter of Lieutenant
General Adna r. Chaffee, commander of
the United States Army; Miss Keogh.
daughter of Supreme Court Judge Mar
tin ]. Keogh. and many other society
buds.
After the family and the guest. a
young woman from New York. who was
visiting Mrs. HaZen. had finished din

berry was discovered, because the rogue
had not disturbed the rooms in the
least. The ordinary burglar would have

curing delicacy and skill
To remove the dirt and dust Of CEN
turtles from a painting is no work for
a novice, and the restoration Of canvas
that has. as frequently happens. been
stolen and painted over. requires
master. especially if the second picture
has much age.
But all OF these things become child
play compared with the task just sue
cessfully completed by a New York
artist for Secretary Hay. This was the
transfer Of a BotticeIh madonna from a

stoop 10 the vulgarity of scratching
to see his way about the
house.
By Electric Light.
The scratching of matches leaves
scars upon the wall. and it was evil
dent that he admired the imported wall
paper.
He could not scratch matches upon
the soles of his exquisite patent leath
ers because he wore thin, well-made
rubber soles and heels. Then, too, the
detectives decided from the clews; he
did not wish to blacken his fingers with
burned matches.
And in handling the rare laces and
valuable books he might find in so
artistic a home as that of Mrs. Hazen
smutty fingers would do untold damage.
So he carried a thoroughly modern
and up-to-date electric hand light which,
by pressing upon a button, shot thin,
keen ray of light
Many Of the rooms where he operat-
ed, according to Miss Nelson, the pri-
vate secretary of Mrs. Hazen, were
brilliantly illumined with electricity.
and the gentlemanIy burglar depended
upon his dress suit and immaculate ap-
pearance to prevent a short and sudden

servant or even the mistress or mas
