Indianapolis Journal has championed his cause
with unremittipg zeal and rare intelligence.

WOm MS Leg.

Some years ago, when Free

very friendly terms with Meder
and allowed u good many libertie:
behind the scenes not allowed t.
less favored mortais.
One night when the play was il
progress Ed. was behind the scenes,
when he looke,. through a crack in
the scenery and saw the swelling
outlines OF a leg in tights within a
few inches of the crack. He sent a
friend round to the side to see whose
| leg 1t was, and the friend discovered
that the lady who stood in tights
and doublet just in front of the
crack was one greatly admired by
Townsend. The iliend at once told
Ed. that the leg in question be-
longed to q man named Sullivan,
whom Ed. heartily disliked. AS
soon as the joker behind the scenes
learned of the identity of the mouse
colored hose in front of the crack
he hunted up a pin, a stick, piece
of thread. He got the thread from
the ladies' dressing room by expos
ing his fell plot.
When the ladies learned that he
intended fastening the pin to the
stick and boring it into Sullivan's
leg, they were greatly elated and
very handy in he.pin. him put up
the job.
Then the false friend at the wings
slipped around and posted the
ladies on the real situation. The
news made them boil over with de-
light.
Then Ed. got down on his hands
and knees, and while hal: the COM
pany watched ne said:
"Won't Sullivan jump round
lively when he feels the pin?"
All admitted that Sully would
jump round lively.
Then he poked the stick through
the crack aud jabbed it into the leg
in front.
There was a smStheied exclama-
ton, and the little Prince in Rich
ard III jumped about three feet in
the air to the establishment OF the
and the audience. Town
send rolled over behind the scenes
with laughter, and looking round
saw the calm face of Macduff (Sulli-
van) gazing at him from the wings.
He began to think there must be
some mistake, and few minutes
later, when the little lady who had |
got the pin janmed into the calf of |

wind and caught him right there by !
