A timid young girl, who bad evidently been listening to the conversation, came into the room. It seems that Katie Donahue, who was singe-struck, - - had answered the advertise ment under the assumed name of Katie Moffat. Her father was unaware of this corre spondence of his daughter, Kate tried to con vey to the manager by winks and nudges the condition of affairs, but these signs were inter- cepted by her father. When the letter was shown to Katie 'she acknowledged with a blush that she had written it, but that it was only intended as a joke.
**Joke, is it?" exclaimed her father." "I'll joke wid ye when these gentlemen go down- stairs, so I will, me leddy! Th' stage you'll play on 'll be the wash-boord! And is it yous mia as ' come here an' thry 'lade my little girl aithray? Git out of here, or I'll knock your two heads together, so I will, an' small fear to me Bad luck to you for desaivers 1”
The two visitors wept down-stairs in a very burried manner. But ere they closed the street door certain loud screams and cries of pain came from the Donahue apartments, Indicating that Katie's father was a man of his word.

One of the children said that Jennalyn's beau would kill her if she went on the stage. Her mother rocked back and forth in her chair, and repeated this sentence over and over, clasping her hands meanwhile, "Das ist nicht "Das ist nicht 1" The father was worked up to a high degree of excitement. He rose from his chair and walked up and down the room, asserting loudly, "Vot mine daughter mean! Vot she will baf met dem vicked t'atre fellers! Himmel Dot girl make mine eyes cry alretty.

Here the father's love for his child overcame him. Drawing a red bandanna handkerchief from his pocket, he began to wipe away the big tears which were rolling down his checks. The children sat around as mute as mummies at this hitherto unsuspected affection on the part of their father. But anger soon dried the old gentleman's tears. Shaking his fist in the air, he roared, "Jenny, you came out here, I make you seek of dem t'atres. I make you shtop writing dem letters. You will not fool wit your fader any
