tonatlon for which he is famous; :. not a thing,
and am looking round for something to do"
''Thats just my case,' replied jarrett. " Sup
pose VIC get up show together. How much
money can you raise?"
ssAbout ten thousand dollars"

"Agreed." said Palmer, and just then came
the oysters, and temporarily stopped their
mouths. They remained IN hour or so in that
restaurant, and before they left it was decided
later from New York. Jarrott hastened to the
Baltimore train to say good-by to his family and
arrange his preparations for departure. Palmer
te1egrapled for 8 stateroom on the steamer,
joined him 4 couple of hours before the sailing
OF the steamer. Arm in arm Jarrett, long,
1.-the, and active brunette, and Palmor, d short,
stout, and equally active blonde, mounted the
gang plank Of the steamer, ind we're soon moV-
ing down the harbor and out upon the ocean, .

GATHERING THE MATERIALS.
! With no definite purpose beyond that of find
] ing m attractive novelty, they arrived in Lon
/ don, and began looking around among the
| thcctres. For several days they found nothing
that suited them, and at last came to Coyent Gar
! den. There was SNOWY performance going on
| there, With closing scene that reminded them
] of the Seven Sisters, though it was more gor-
geous. After they had looked at it, one Of the
| pair suggested
tsuppose We buy this closing scene, get up q
! ballet company, and then show the two together
We can take it through the country, and it ought
! to draw
ssJust what WAS thinking" said the other.
| They talked q while about the matter before 60
! ing to bed, and the next morning they opened
negotiations for the machinery and properties OF
the scene, for which they we're to pay $500, the
when the piece VAS to be Withdrawn. This pur-
! chase WAS what afterwa1d appeared as the trans-
formation scene in the Black Crook. Then they
! set about engaging the live material for their
but could not find q star that suited them.
Their plans we're all settled to take this trans-
| formation scene and ballet troupe to America,
run it 3 month in New York, q fortnight in Bos-
towns. Jarrett started for New York to arrange
| for q theatre for the first performance, and
] Palmer vent to the Continent to secure the star
performers. jarrett arrived here and found
Niblo's Garden, under the management Of VIM.
Wheatleigh, the best for his purpose. It was not
doing good business, and Wheat1eigh was look
ing around for something new. Jarrett unfolded
his plans, and it did not take long to ar-
range a bargain. Jarrett, Palmer, and Wheat
leigh formed partnership, in which the money
the lease Of the house. The receipts we're to be
"pooled," and, after paying expenses, there Was
| to he an equal division of profits.
