had witnessed the little scene behind
closed doors.
Hearing his call from the call-boy, I
withdrew behind some packing trunks
and soon heard him treading the
boards above. / knew that he would
remain on some time. SO l went i2to
his dressing room and quickly with
drew the bullet from the pistol. Then
l went to my post above and found
the play progressing smoothly as
usual.
never saw the leading man do as
well; as for the leading lady, she was
accepting his love with word, glance
and sweet gestures which told plainly
that she was In earnest. He was max
ing real love to her; yes. sir, such love
as you do sometimes see on the boards.
We old stagers can tell the difference
between downright love and the make
believe article every time.
When the rivals met in the duel
scene, l can assure you l was more
than an anxious spectator. He, the
hero, met the muzzle of the rival with
the same cool demeanor as hitherto.
I wondered would he appear as cool,
as brave. had he known of the scene
behind the doors.
The face of the villain was a perfect
picture of hellish ferocity, and l never
before knew how much of a mans evil
nature could be depicted upon his fea-
lures. The word was given to fire.
The sharp crack of the pistols fol-
lowed and the smoke passed up into
the flies.
All! The villain had forgotten his
fall. He started quickly forward and
gazed upon his rivals smiling face.
Then n painful silence followed. as
the play. The leading man whispered
in an undertone:
Fall. man! Why don't you fall?"
But the villain had no ear for hear
ing; he had expected to see the blood
stained corpse OF his hated rival
stretched before him-Gnd now he
stood there still alive and breathing.
With loud oath which could be
heard in every Part of the house, the
defeated villain sprang by his rival,
dashed through the little crowd OF
stage people who had gathered in the
wings and plunged through an open
window, falling with sickening
sound upon the pavement below.
OF course this was all deep mystery
to every one but myself. The curtain
dropped and surrounded by my COM
panions I told the whole story.

SURPRISED BARBER.
Who Had Reasons for Not TalkIn;
About Dandrun.

New Orleans Tipes-Democrat:
Wearing wigs has not gone out of
style by any means" said New Or
leans barber who has an eye for the
oddities OF the trade. THE only
reason why We don't notice so many
of them is that they are made a great
deal better than they used to be. Why,
even the BARRIERS get fooled now and
then, and when the customer neglects
to warn them some funny things hap
pen. The other day gentleman came
into the shop to get shaved. The bar
ber finished the job without noticing
anything unusual. and as he laid aside
the razor he sprung the usual chest
nut:\ I notice n good deal of dand-
run is accumulating on your scalp he
said. and IL you don't look out you'll
begin to get bald That seemed to
tickle the customer and he grinned
from ear to ear. oh! guess I've got
hair enough to last for while says
he. still grinning. You have plenty
now, says the barber, but with all
that dandruff 1t will soon commence
to thin out. Better let me give you n
nice shampoo AS he spoke he ran
his hands through the gentleman's
hair and gave it two or three hard
rubs. and upon my word the whole
thing came of just as II he had been
scalped. All he had left was a
fringe over his ears and around the
back of his neck. The poor man yelled
murder and the barber stood there
paralyzed, holding the wig in his
hands and his eyes sticking out like
hat pegs. He told me afterward he
was never SO scared in his life. Since
then he hasn't said n word about dand-

The play passed off smoothly, as
usual; the hero and traitor met, the
duel took place and the regular de-
nouement followed amid the applause
of an apprcciative and satisfied audi
ence.
l kept my eyes open after that, for
! knew there was something in the
wind destined, II possible. to work
wrong against the young leading man,
who by this time had become a prime
favorite among the members of the
stock company-the heavy man ex-
cepted.

the Villains rage, happening to pass
by his dressing room door, heard a
muflled, clinking sound, as of some
metallic substance coming in contact

my eye to the keyhole and peeled
through. The man was seated within
range Of my vision, upon trunk, a
pistol between his knees, and he was
ramming n bullet into the barrel.

fiend was preparing to murder the
handsome young leading man. He

that her majesty should command its
representation, and that the proceeds
should be devoted to the poor of Lon

the archives. but up to the present no
step has been taken to insure its pro-
duction. Perhaps one day we shall see
it given in the theater the Guildhall

Washing Currency.

1t is not generally known, but bills
can be washed and ironed rs easily as
n pocket handkerchief. a wealthy wo-
man of my acquaintance has all her
money Numbered before she uses it.
She turns the notes over to her maid,
who washes them thoroughly in hot
water with ordinary soap suds and
spreads them out on table to dry.
Then she dampens them slightly and
presses them with a medium hot
smoothing iron. If the bill is not
frayed this process will make II as
bright and crisp MS when 1t first left
the treasury. 1t is astonishing how
dirty money gets. If one could see the
water in which n dozen commonly cir
cIlated bills were washed 1t would
give them a permanent aversion to

Austria. Newspaper Tax.

Austria shares the doubtful honor
with Turkey of having n government
tax on each newspaper printed In or
introduced into the country, and the
privilege with Russia of prohibiting
the sale of journals In the streets. The
removal of this unpopular tax on
knowledge has been a matter of con-
stant agitation and promises of n
speedy reform have been made by the
present government. The obstruction
ist policy of the opposition in Parlia-
mcnt, however. has rendered the pros
pcct OF legislation on this point hope
less, at least within any measurable
space of time. The Social Democratic
party has, nevertheless, taken n very
pronounced position in the matter, and
is ngitnting for an abolition of the OBJ.
noxious laws. At the head of the pres
cnt movement are many compositors,
who fear that the number of the en-
ployed will be considerably reduced
by the pending Introduction Of compos-
ing machines unless in the meantime
the existing tax is removed.-London

AN ACTER'S RUSE.

What is my particular forte? Low
comedy, sir though IL any one had
told me that I'd make a hit in tina,
line when l first went upon the stage
I'd have felt much insulted.
It doesn't make much difference now
what my aspirations were years ago:
still, the shades Of Hamlet haunted
my dreams then. and l was possessed
to shine as Romeo. Humph! The
manager cast me for second grave
digger In the first and Gregory In the
second. How well carried the parts
out / can't tell; know l was never
invited to do the melancholy Dane;
neither was l ever asked to clasp a
fair Juliet in the dim-lighted chamber
of the Capulets.
l became reconciled to disappoint-
ment after awhile, and, after strug-
Cling through the lesser characters, l
finally was given the position of lead
ing low comedian in the stock COM
pany. Perhaps you'd take me for any
thing but low comedian. How fairly
well l do the business the bills tell
that.
In the year of 1860 I was playing in
a stock company in New Orleans, and
the city was wild with rumors of the
dawning conflict. As the company was
comprised of a number of northern
people, many vacancies were crested
by the deserters who FASTENED home

Gorgeous Sleeping Apartment of Lud-

Half way between Munich and Salz-

H. Gore in the Ladies' Home Journal.
This great structure is incomplete, for
tunately for already overtaxed Bavaria,
for no one could surmise what its cost
would have been. One room alone-the re-
nowned bed chamber-could not be dupli-
Gated for less than a million dollars. The
vaulted ceiling is one great allegoriCal
painting, the rounded cornice is covered
with a score of richly framed mural paint
ings, the walls are panels of hammered
gold of intricate designs and even the
floor is of d marvellous pattern. The only
suggestion of the purpose of this wonder
full room is the 100000 bed, with it's canopy
more magnificent than any that covers a
regal throne. In the gorgeous dining
room he had erected a disa ppearing table
which dropped through the floor when a
course was finished, and in it's place came
up another set and served. He desired
this so that the servants would be I'M
necessary in the room and the most secret
state matters could be discussed in safety
Many people sought in vain to see the
famous room at Herrenchiemsee. Once
an actress pleased Ludwig so much by
her recitation that she thought ii an OPP

ceived."
