Trawlcy came Into Dodd’g painting sliop and sat down heavily on one of the impracticable couches. “Bariilon’s baby’s dead,” he ob served, feeling along the hearthrug for matches. "That so?” remarked Dodd, without looking up from the black and white before him. "Ye3. * • • What the deuce did' a poor devil like Barlllon want babies for, anyhow?” "H’m!” commented Dodd. “What I want to know Is, what Induced a fair ly successful French landscape painter to settle over here? Even American landscape painters can't sell unless they start a young ladles’ daubing school or give eouchee-couchee dances in their studios.” There was silence. Dodd was per forming some mysterious rites with a discarded tooth brush on the back ground of his black and white. Traw ley was thinking. The door opened unceremoniously and Lutterworth came In. Lutterworth was Dodd’s partner in rent paying, and their wardrobes were in common. Con sequently Dodd immediately observed that the other man’s overcoat was missing. “What did you get for it?” he asked severely. "Only $2.50. Lazarus said It was an old, old friend, or he shouldn’t have given even that. * * * You needn’t hold out your paw, Doddy; you are not going to get one cent of it. Haven’t you heard that poor old Barlllon’s baby died this morning?” "Well?” interrogated Dodd, relaxing his grip on the ink bottle. "Well! Do you think that we ought to allow the city to get hold of that little scrap o’ humanity? No, my boy. The Bari lion baby was the guest of American Art, and American Art’s go ing to bury the Barlllon baby.” “For $2.50!” interposed Trawley. “You mean well, Lutterworth, but the thing’s absurd.” "Look here,” said Lutterworth, push ing some books off his bed and sitting down in their place. "I never fancied we could do the whole thing for $2.50. But a collection-” , "Collection nothing!” Dodd ex claimed with emphasis. “There’s not enough money to buy a sparrow In the entire settlement. Do you think I should be tolling here If wealth could be picked up for the asking?” Lutterworth shook his head deject edly. Then he took $2.50 from his pocket and began counting It. “Barlllon doesn’t know a soul but ourselves,” he said. "Besides, the poor chap can’t speak more than five words of English. And as for little Madame Bari—I don’t know what she’ll do If the city gets her baby.” Once more there was silence In the painting shop. Dodd was laboring fruitlessly, as it seemed, to produce a foggy effect with a piece of smudgy Indian rubber. Trawley succeeded in finding a match and lighted a raking Pittsburg stogey. The smoke was to him as Delphic vapors were to the priestess perched on her tripod. "Inspiration!” he cried. “Let us make a coffin ourselves. Where are those carpenter tools of yours, Doddy?” Dodd almost hurled the black-and white Into a corner. Lutterworth al lowed the money to sink hack Into his pocket. Both were on their feet In an instant. "You'll find the tools in the closet,” said Dodd. “That window seat will do for a coflln, won’t it?” "Yes; and the white hangings to line it with,” ejaculated Lutterworth, tear ing down a gorgeous satin mantle, the pride of Dodd's collection, as he spoke. Trawley fished out the carpenter’s tools; Dodd found some brass-headed nails, and to work with a will went this trio of amateur undertakers. Slowly the window seat, which had once been a macaroni box, found itsel? metamorphosed for the third time—on his occasion into a really respeeiable iooklng cofiln. A paint pot, borrowed from the janitor, lent color to the exte rior; the interior was richly lined with Dodd’s white satin hangings. The GENTLEMEN. I WANT THE RINT. brass-headed nails, set nearly a-row, kept the satin in place, and Dodd painted on the lid the Inscription: “Etienne-Aloys Barillon, aged 10 months.” As they put the finishing touches to their work, there came a knock to the door, and. without being bidden to enter, old Flannagan, landlord-in-ordi ary to all that dwelt beneath that room, heaved his corpulent frame into the painting shop. “Gintlemen," wheezed Mr. Flanna gan, “I’ve come afther the rint.” ‘One moment, Flannagan; one mo ment,” $aid Lutterworth. “We’re just finishing this coflin.” Mr. Fiannagan’s jaw dropped, for the word “coflin” reminded him of how grasping landlords were said to have been treated in 'his native Ireland. “Finishin’ a coffin!” he repeated, fal terlngly. Dodd laughed. *' “Don’t worry, Flannagan,” he said. “It’s not for you.” Aiid then, as they lifted the box from the midst of chips and shavings, and set it proudly on the drawing table they exp’siued to Flannagan its eal purpose. The burly landlord regarded them autlcusly for awhile, a3 though dread ng Borne Jest, but presently his fea tures relaxed into a grim smile. “Sure, an’ I suppose ye’ve been so busy,” Jlp said, “that ye didn’t have time to get the rint ready?” “The rent must wait,” said Dodd. “It glnerally^ do:s, bedad,” retorted Flannagaa. "Well, I won’t bother ye now, boys, as I see ye’re just settin’ up in a new business. Good mornin’ to ye, an’ good luck to the undhertakln’ busi ness.” "Cold-hearted old pig!” growled Dodd, as the door banged behind his landlord. “Had to make a joke of It, of course. Some people seem to have no feelings.” “Oh, these coarse natures, you know!” said Trawley. "What can you expect from an ex-contractor, whom fate has made the landlord of a studio building? * • * But I say! We have a lot to do yet. The coffin, fine as it is, won’t save Barillon’s baby from the city. We must discover some means of raising money.” “I have two dollars fifty-" Lut terworth was beginning, when the door opened once more, this time to admit the janitor. He held-a handsome bun dle of white roses in one hand, and in the other a penciled note, which he presented to Dodd. “From Mr. Flannagan!” he said. Dodd opened the note and read it ' aloud, at first with some impatience, but with growing wonder as he pro ceeeded. "Mister Flannagan presents his com pliments,’’ it ran, "but will you kindly accept these roses to put on that coffin of yours? I suppose the French artist cannot afford a plot in the cemetery. Well, sir, I own a big one, and there’s | only myself and my wife. We’ll feet mighty pleased if the French artist will take a little slice of the Flannagan ground. Mister Flannagan also pre sents his compliments, and says that if you like I will send my carriage around to that Fench artist’s, as may be he can’t hire a hearse. I also send a little money with Mister Flannagan’s compliments, to defray expenses. "J. J. FLANNAGAN.” “P. S.—That coffin is a dandy, and I don’t like to see it go to waste.” Dodd looked penitently at Lutter worth. “I take it all back about the coarse natures,” exclaimed Trawley. “That landlord of yours is a trump. * * • What good news for poor Barillon!” "One touch of nature,” said Dodd, taking up the black-and-white from the corner. "Bless me, that misty effect seems quite successful now—or is It my eyes?”—Gerald Brenan in the Easter Criterion. BISHOPING HORSES. From the Chicago Chronicle: The practice of “blshoping” horses, once so prevalent in this country, has fallen into disuse to such an extent that today many people who are quite familiar with horses do not know the meaning of the term. "Bishoplng” a horse means the changing of its teeth by artificial means in such a way that the animal’s mouth will have the appearance of youth when in reality the horse is several years older than the owner would fain have people believe him. It is said that within the last year a negro horseman in Chicago has been endeav oring to practice the art, but that bis efforts are so crude that a horse’s mouth blshoped by him would not de ceive even a tyro in veterinary surgery. The term "bishop” originated in England several centuries ago and was brought into use on account of the name of the man who first put into practice the disreputable piece of trica ery. After Bishop’s time the art was improved to a considerable extent, and for a number of years it was not con sidered so dishonorable as it is today. "Comparatively little bishoping is done today,” said Dr. George E. Rose, the well-known veterinary surgeon. “Nowadays horsemen are so familiar with all the points of horses that bish oping could not for an instant deceive a man who is at all up in his business. As is well known, horses when young have cup-shaped cavities in their front or incisor teeth, which are the ones by which the age of the animal is gauged. As the horse grows older these cavities gradually disappear. When he is six years old the cups from the center pair of teeth in the lower jaw disappear. With each succeeding year the cups disappear from a pair of teeth. After the cups have gone from the teeth of the lower jaw they pass away in like manner from the teeth of the upper jaw. So at twelve years of age the horse has no cups in his teeth. After that age the horse’s age is told by creases in the teeth. In the bish oping process the cups and creases are made in the teeth with sharp dental tools and the cavities made are col ored with acids. Since the horsemen have become so expert in detecting the frauds .if this kind very little of it is attempted in these days.” High-Priced Rulen. The income of the emperor of Russia for one day is about $25,000; that of the sultan of Turkey, $18,000; emperor of Austria, $5,000; emperor of Germany, $8,000; king of Italy, $6,500; queen of England, $6,500, and the king of Bel guim, $6,500.
