AyKCDorE OF SHERIDAN .-HOlland' s theatre
the handsomest In the kingdom, was destined
to q short existence, being totally burnt down
on the night Of February "a, 1909, when il stood
only fifteen years. The following authentic
anecdote, in connection with the building. has
not before, as we believe, appeared in print
Holland could never obtain a settlement, or an
interview on the subject. with Sheridan. He
hunted him for weeks and months at his own
house, at the theatre, at his usual resorts but
he was nowhere to be seen. At last he tracked
him to the stage-doOr, rushed in in spite of the
opposition of the burly porter, and found the
manager on the stage conversing with party
Of gentlemen whom he had invited to show them
the theatre. Sheridan saw Holland approach
ing, and knowing that escape was this time i'm
possible, put bold face on the matter
"Ah. my dear fellow exclaimed he, [" you
are the very man / wanted to see-you have
come most apropos. l am truly sorry you have
had the trouble of calling on me so often, but
now We are met, in a few minutes / shall be at
liberty We will then go into my room together
and settle our affairs. But first, you must de-
eide an important question here. Some of
these gentlemen tell me there are complaints.
and loud ones, that the transmission of sound
is defective in your beautiful theatre-that in
fact, the galleries cannot hear at all-and. that
is the reason they have become noisy of late -
Sound defective not hear,'' reiterated the
astonished architect, turning pale and almost
staggering back 4; why, it is the most perfect
building for sound that ever was erected. I'll
stake my reputation on it, the complaint is most
groundless."
$50 say" retorted Sheridan; & but now
Wen bring the question to issue definitely, and
then have a paragraph or two in the papers
Do you, Holland, go and place yourself at the
back of your upper gallery, while 1 stand here
on the stage and talk to you
Certainly" said Holland, with the great
est pleasure
lantern was provided with a trusty guide,
and away went the architect through a laby-
rinth of dark and winding passages almost a
day journey, until he reached his distant and
elevated post.
Now, Mr.. Holland" cried Sheridan, ARE
you there, and ready?''
q Yes" was the immediate answer.
Can you hear me %
Perfectly, perfectly. Mr. Sheridan
Then l wish YOU a very good morning"
SO saying Sheridan disappeared, and was two
or three miles off before Holland could descend
Another long interval occurred ere he was able
TO chase the fugitive to his lair

THE LAWYERS STRATAGEM.
rKn.IEIRn BY BROWN.

vYRsIEIED BIZ BROWN.
A zay young spark who long had sighed
10 take an heirness for hls bride,
Though not in vain be had essayed
10 win the favor of the maid,
Yet fearing, from his humble station,
70 meet her fathers cold negation,
Made up his mind without delay
To take the girl and run away,
A pretty pian--w hat could be liner? p
But as the maid was ret q minor,
There still remained this slight obstruction;
He might be punished for abduction
Accordingly he thought II wise
To see the squire and take advice
A cunning knave who loved a trlck
As well as fees, and skilled to pick,
As lawy ers can, some latent flaw,
To help q client cheat the law.
Before him straight the case was laid
Who, when the proper fee was paid,
Conceived al once happy plan,
And thus the counsellor began
'Noung man, no doubt, your wisest course
Is thls:-to-nlght you get horse,
And let your lady-love get on;
As soon as ever that 10 done.
You get on too-but bark We mind
She REDS before you ride behind,
And thus, you see you make IL true,
Ihs lady Rms atcdy tcith yoa"
That very night he got the horse,
And put the lawyers plan IN force;
w no found next day-no laughing matter
The truant lady was his daughter!
MORAL.
When lawyers counsel craft and guile,
Ii may sometimes pc worth the while,
If they d AVOID the deepest shame,
To ascertain the parties name
