Then she crowned it with the "kiverlid"

The Blue Thing.
IAN Adventure in Aestheticism. ]

An Adventure In Aesthetlcism
The Fraud had never seen the Other
Fraud. There were times when he
wished he had never heard Of her, or OF
her poems-which happened to strike a
chord. HE was literary editor) But
until she inveigled him into buying the
Blue Thing he had never actually sworn
at her, boldly. above his breath, and
5000 miles away.
1t was her Blue Thing that she raved
Of fret in one Of those letters Of friend
ship wherewith she basely rewove her
spell at least once every six weeks. As
he read. the scene she suggested became
finished as cameo to his inward eye.
The long raftered, weaving room in the
old eastern Virginia farm-house-the
antique, hand made wooden loom, the
shapeless, talkative woman in home
spun. shutting her threads OF blue and
white in the country sunshine, and
but here the Other Fraud came in and
blurred things. He had her picture, it
is true, yet he had not the slightest idea
what she looked like. The picture
looked serene and somewhat sanity.
But she couldn't be the other Fraud il
she looked that way. and she vas I'M
doubtedly the Other Fraud; and never
more so than when she unconsciously
beguiled him into imagining that he
wanted Blue Thing, too.
"A genuine. hand-woven. old, old
fashioned Ring and SNOWFALL Kiverlid."
she fastened to write. 1T is adorable,
my dear Fraud. and it is mine. Can
you conceive OF the old -fashionedness,
the quaintness, the sincerity of this bit
OF weaving? 1t is as genuine as a wall
hanging of William Morris's, a book
cover of Golden Sanderson's. The blue
black indigo designs wander over the
creamy background as imaginatively
as Moorish arabesques. Since yester-
day it has been the delight Of my room
and the curtain of my bookcase. And
all this charm, all this qualification of
the eyes and tine intellect Tor only some
half-score coin Of the realm This was
her way of referring TO money, it will
be understood. She meant to convey.
subtly, that the Blue Thing had cost
her 80.
This letter, of course. inspired tn
Fraud with an unquenchable desire to
possess Blue Thing of his own. He
ought to have looked at the complete
set of Carlyle Oh his top book shelf,
which he had bought because of her
Carlyle letters, and whose beautiful,
raggedy-edged pages he had never had
the moral energy to cut. He should
certainly have given thought to the
drunken-legged spinet in the corner
which was always staggering under its
burden Of magazines. He had pur-
chased this once, fancying it must be
ike the one in her den, on which her
stately great grandmothers had tinkled
in other centuries. But he neither
looked nor thought. The Other Fraud
could make even life desirable with the
magical tip of that golden pen Of hers.
He answered the letter, invoking her in
the name Of their four years com

too. She failed to reply for a
month"; month filled with indigo ara
besques, and spectral women weaving
fatalities OF the Ring and nogball
pattern. When she did write she for
got to mention the Blue Thing. Other
things had become OF Importance. She
had Just discovered the first arbutus.
Her letters told of the discovery at pic
turesque length. This was obviously
the method to render the Fraud frantic
with longing. His next, beseeching.
brought recognition. She had been
hunting Blue Things, she wrote. and
had discovered some, but none to be
mentioned with her own, and she could
not make up her mind to send him one
less perfect. Before he could answer
this considerable letter. there came a
second, brief and rapturous. IL have
found it, she wrote; lit is even better
than mine, and il l were not so poverty
stricken just now 1 should be tempted
to keep it myself. But as il is, will be
generous. 1t is yours"
The Fraud received this communica-
ton at the office. He was as happy as
a lover with his first hope Of Her. In
an hour a grateful epistle, enclosing
the necessary coin of the realm. thun-
dersd southwark. The Other Fraud
always left hurry to slaves. 1t was an
other six weeks before she managed to
get the Blue Thing expressed West.
The sun Of May strove to enter the
Frauds dark den as he hastily cut the
strings and stood at last on the thresh-
hold of possession.
Yes, it was delightful Blue Thing.
There were the indigo arabesques, and
there were the sincerity and the creamy
background. The Fraud draped it over
the foot of his bed and contemplated it.
leaning back luxuriously in his big old
chair. He was thinking OF how certain
men of his acquaintance were going to
envy him his bookcase curtain. tie had
quite finished his pipe before a terrible
suspicion intruded. He started up and
looked around at his shelves-dear,
shabby, OVERLOOKING. Then he critically
considered me Blue Thing. After i've
minutes or SO, he carried it, trailing
across the floor. and tossed it over the
bookcase. IL the bookcase had been
three times as large it would have made
a very satisfactory curtain. The Fraud
draped the foot board with it again.
AS a bookcase curtain it was largely
out of the question. And he had never
thought OF it as anything else. 1t is
difficult for men to readjust intentions.
During the ensuing weeks his official
observation-disclosures increased. He could
not discover poets and read proofs with
the Blue Thing a wanderer in the desert
of his den. He spent the day devising
new uses for it. In the evenings he ex-
perimented. There was either too much
Of the Thing or there was not enough Of
it. He festooned it over his msntel-
shelf, but it swept to the coal bucket
and kept the late fire to itself. He
cleared his table OF its ungodly accumu-
lated treasures and flung the Blue
Thing over it. 1t lay in folds on the
floor. 1t hid the waste basket. 1t wound
itself around his feet. and entangied the
legs Of his chair. The next evening he
removed it and tossed it csrelessly over
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-10-17

his big chair. Then he put on his
dressing gown and occupied the chair.
The effect in the mirror opposite was
that OF the magician in Frank Stock
toms fairy tales. Now, the Fraud had a
certain aspect Of dignity to maintain.
He thought about il at the Office next
day and concluded that. while the Thing
might make good rug. as chair cover
it robbed him of self-respect. That
evening was devoted to converting it
into thing to walk on. But al mid
night it again decorated the foot of his
couch. 1t was too big for a rug and not
big enough for a carpet. BY this time
it had worn him out. He wrote to the
Other Fraud confessiDg the situation,
and asking her how big the bookcases
usually were down South. She was be-
wildered. She said her Blue Thing had
made quaint little curtain, and she
very much wished to know how small
they made bookcases out West. She
also said that he might throw it careless
sly over divan. Now, the Fraud had
not divan in the world. Nay, more,
he had not even room for the begin.
nings OF a divan in that den OF his.
This also b; wrote.
why not" she answered sweetly,
make a window curtain OF it, and put
a band Of solid blue top and bottom?"
Arranged in this way it would be even
more delightful than ever. she thought.
This was the moment when the Fraud
swore. He forgot that she could not
know how he had but the one window
by the desk, and that was not Of much
use to him, owing to the architectural
peculiarities Of the adjoining buildings.
He threw her pleasant little note OF sug
gestions into the waste basket, and,
carefully averting his eyes from the
cause Of his trouble. rushed from the
room. He came home that evening. his
soul filled with the peace Of resignation.
He had resolved to struggle with the
Thing no more. Perhaps, in the dim
days to come, it would find a reason for
itself. In the mean time, it could drape
the footboard Of his bed, uncoerced. He
concluded to read The Melancholy of
Stephen Allard." Its calm despair seem
ed suitable. Perhaps Stephen Allard
also had uncut Carlyles, and staggering
spinets. and impishly arabesqued Blue
Things. True to his conclusions, he
settled down with this volume for COM
rade; but it's dark blue cover unsettled
his mind. 1t was not long before he re-
tired in the hope Of sleep and forgett ng.
During the night it became colder. and
he drowsily reached down for his over
coat. which had frequently served such
temporary emergencies. In the da:k-
ness he drew up the Blue Thing instead
and slept beneath it unconsciouely. An
early message from the Office, in the
morning, hurried him away, and he did
not notice this. But the housemaid,
who came in to clean up as soon as the
street door closed on him, noticed it i'm
mediately.
For weeks her fingers had been itch
ing to put the Blue Thing to its legiti-
mate use. And now, for tho first time,
she had an excuse. She was an Eng
lish girl. and her old grandmother at
home, in Hertfordshire. covered her
bed with Blue Things like that. She
