Though Sardou, the author of Robes
pierre" is one of the most level-headed
men it is possible to meet, there is no
more fervent adept Of spiritualism liv-
ing. His conviction is founded not on
any theory, but on experiences that
have occurred to himself When hc
was very young man long before fort
une had smiled upon him, he lived in
a small room under the roof one Of
the very few articles Of furniture Ne
possessed was an OLD spinet that had
belonged to a dead sister. to whom he
had been greatly attached. He never
opened the instrument, and it served
him in lieu of desk, bookcase and table
combined.
one day he was suddenly startled by
the sound Of music. coming apparently
from the spinet Cautiously removing
the books ana opening the lid. he was
stupetied to observe the keys rising and
falling, as if under impulsion of
ghOstly fingers for the thick layer of
dust which covered them remained in
tact. When the tune. an air Of the last
century was at an end, the spnet sud
denly became as mute as before. Sar-
dou at first thought he must be dream
ing. and, in order to convince himself
that he was really awake and in full
possession of his senses, he pinched
himself until he was obliged to dcsist
from the pain. \ friend to whom he
related this strange experience in
formed him that there was no doubt he
must be a medium.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1899-06-17

of the many mysterious things that
have occurred to Sardou the following
is perhaps, the most ineXplicablc: Sit
ting at his desk one night trying to
find a dcnouement to a scene ne was
engaged in writing. inspiration ALSO
lutely refused to come. Suddenly it
seemed to him he heard Il voice Whis-
pering in his ear: In such street ana
in such a house you will find a small
shop in the courtyard, the owner Of
which has a stock of a peculiar de
scription of paper; buy it from him"
Sardou had never heard Of the eXis
tence even Of such street, and, more
over. it was nearly midnight. The i'm
pulse to obey the voice became 50
strong, however, that he was compelled
to yield to it, He found the street
without much difficulty, but to discover
the house was another matter. 1t was
only by recalling the exact directions
given him by the voice that he was at
last successful. Sure enough, in the
courtyard, invisible from the street,
there was a sort Of small stationer's
shop. Tho owner Of the shop naturally
was asleep. Sardou reused him from
his slumbers and told him what ha had
come for. The man stared at his
strange midnight customer. He admit
ted that he possessed a stock Of paper
such as Sardou described and which he
had never been able 10 sell.
Sardou purchased the lot took it home
with him. and. before he went to bed
that night, penned with the greatest
ease several scenes which turned out
among the most successful he had ever
wrote.
