Thew Were All At Sea.

Early in the summer Clay M
Greene and Gus Thomas agreed to
write for w. H. Crane comedy,
which all three believe is going to be
what the comedian graphically terms a
"corker" when completed. Now Mr.
Thomas, though ready writer enough.
needs tremendous amount of per-
suasion to get him at work, and has a
habit besides of burying himself in
remote and inaccessible country dis
tricts so far from the madning crowd
that to all intents and purposes he
might as well be in the heart OF
Africa, so far as reaching him by let
ter or telegram is concerned. No
sooner had the contract been signed
than Mr.. Thomas disappeared, and
for weeks Mr.. Greene could have
been observed perambulating Broad
way like an unquiet spirit and seek
ing the collaboration, who would do
everything else but collaborate.
Crane began to get inpatient, and,
though it had been arranged that the
two authors should visit him at CO.
hasset and lay the rough out work
before him, neither of them materially
ed, for Greene could not 60 without
Thomas, and Thomas had vanished.
At length, week or so ago, Mr..
Thomas incautiously ventured from
his rural lair and was lassoed by his
coauthor at the Lambs club. Before
he well knew what had happened he
found himself on the way to Cohasset,
and eventually was deposited at the
"Crib," as Cranes summer home is
christened, and set to work in COM
pany with his partner at Matching
out situations and good lines"
For time all went well, and Crane
was chuckling over the success of the
kidnapping scheme, when suddenly
Mr.. Thomas announced that his pres.
ence in New York was imperatively
necessary, aud on this occasion MIR.
Greene backed him up. Crane was
in despair. Two days work, he
knew, would put matters in such a
shape that the rest would be easy

weeks to get the creative craft in com.
mission as it were. He said nothing
of this, however, to his guests, but
politely agreed that it would perhaps
be just as well if they were to aban-
don their task for the present and re-
turn to New York. Then, as if struck
by happy thought, he offered to take
them on his yacht as far as Newport,
or even New London, casually suggest
ing that on the way they might still
continue their literary labors. To
this the two authors assented and prep

arations for the cruise were hastily
made. At the last moment, however,
Mr.. Crane found that it was utterly
impossible for him to accompany
them, but begged them not to defer
the trip on his account. The prospect
OF pleasant sail was too tempting for
the young men to lightly give it up,
and so they set forth one fine morning
out Of Boston bay, in the best OF
spirits, leaving Crane behind with a
doleful face, which, however, bright

her eyes shining with excitement, and
said: 1--WE will keep that for the

curiosity-men never have-but he
wanted them to get to that box, which
he felt sure contained something foi
him, and be done with it.
Mrs. Bradley's JOY at her fichu
more than repaid him for it; and
Laura was delighted with her gloves
-"such a sensible, useful present,
she said. Finally Laura drew her
chair close to Mr.. Bradley on one
side, Nellie hers on the other, and TAX

"Once on time two sisters went
out to buy Christmas gift for gen.
tleman who was very dear to them.
They found nothing that exactly
pleased them, and decided to postpone
the purchase until another day. Be-
fore going home they went into a store
to look at bric-a-brac," (here Mr.. B..
looked distressed) "but not to buy
anything for him, since he didn't like
such things p exclaimed both sisters.
(Mr. BIS. face cleared.) "Just as
they were leaving the store, Mr.. Buyd-
sell asked them to wait an instant,
and going into an inner room he re-
turned with box which he said con-
tanned pair of ancient vases" (Mr.
Bradley Immediately began to grow
faint y HE took them out and we
for we were the sisters-looked at
them without the slightest idea of
purchasing, We were still examining
them when Laura saw something
family penciled on the bottom of one

be your aunts address" (Mr. Brad
ley's brow became moist with perspira-

pretty high, but Laura and l were de-
termined you should have those mag
nificant old vases of your aunt's-how
they should be there is mystery l
can't fathom." (Mr. Bradley's heart,
which had been slowly sinking toward
his slippers, began to rise again.) So
we united purses, and here are the
vases. Now 90 tell us you recognize
them, and are pleased with this much
bric-a-brac. if no MORE"
He lifted them gingerly out of the
thin wrappings of silver paper, and
managed to say he did recognize them,
and tell where they used to stand
whereupon the ladies went into such
chorus of 81 felt sures - and "I'm so
glads" that Mr.. B. had time to re-
cover little.

CURED, though that was very impolite.
"Sixty-five dollars-but aren't they
beauties! l shall have them on the

Mr.. Bradley never felt sure how
much Nellie knew of the history of
those vases but so long as she said
nothing, he most certainly would
maintain an equal silence.
He never felt the slightest inclina-
ton to laugh when he saw them ; but
instead a morbid desire to throw
Jason's ball at them, or poke the fire
savagely enough to jar them off.
