A MISSING ACTOR.
George PauncefOrt, Who Sought
the SscluSion Of a Tea Plan
tati0n in japan.

Some years ago George Paunce-
fort was a well-knoWn actor in this
country. He was particularly cele-
brated as John Midway, in the
play Of "Still Waters Run Deep"
Pauncefort suddenly disappeared
from the public gaze, and perhaps
nobody would ever have known
what became of him had it not
been for Joseph Arthur, now in
Philadelphia as the business man
ager of Willie Edouin's Sparks"

"aWay back in the interior Of beau
tiful Japan. He had thirteen wives,
natives-and seemed to be happy
in the possession Of a charming tea
plantation
GLOW did you discover him?"
cit was purely accidental. Three
other persons and myself went in
land to visit the celebrated prehis-
toric statue Of Buddha, at Diabutsa.
We travelled by moonlight in the
only conveyance known in that
country, a sort Of perambulator,
called "Hwrickishaws," hauled by
natives. At midnight tAe moon
was hidden by clouds. In short
time we found ourselves in the
midst of a storm, and sought shelter
under the caves of the first house
we came across, The climate was
mild and, being weary, we soon fell
asleep. Daylight revealed a charm
| ing scene. The house, which / could
liken to nothing but large bird
cage, stood in the midst of the I'M
dulattng riSe fields, intersected at
regular spaces by little narrow
streams of water, kissed by the
overhanging branches of bush and
tree, and spanned by numerous
fairy-like bridges.
THE ACTORS RETREAT.
"The owner of this house and
these lands was George Pauncefort,
the English actor, whose playing
had been witnessed by audiences in
all the large cities of the United
States, and some of the old theatre
goers here and professionals (among
these being Mr.. john Drew and Mr..
Murphy remember him as being in
Philadelphia.
"And what took this man to ia
PAM"
"That," said Mr.. Arthur, sis
something of a mystery. He is now
an octOgenarian and something of a
recluse. When saw him he step
ped to his door in the early morn
clad in a semi japanese garb, with
long, flowing footong and calash
He wore no shoes; his form was
erect, his hair and moustache snowy
white, his countenance Of florid hue
He did not seem to be either glad OF
sorry to see US, and we rather in
vited ourselves in, and as he stood
so silent and grave mentally said,
John Midway Behind him stood
his wives. You have asked me,
continued Mr.. Arthur, IS why
he was found in such an out
of-the-Way corner of the globe
cannot answer that directly, but l
think domestic difficulties drove
| him there. 1t was alleged that he
had two wives previous to going
| there-one in London and one in
San Francisco. At all events, be
was great admirer of the fair sex
and he disappeared and was not
heard of until l found him il
