BOTTLE IMP Subscriber,
Caliente, Cal. What is known as the
bottle imp hoax was one of the most
brazen impositions ever practiced on
the credulous English public 1t was
the result of a wager between the
Duke of Montague and a friend In
discussing the amazing gullibility OF
the English he declared that if an inn
postor were to advertise that he would
Jump into a quart bottle all London
would go to see him do it. The wager
was taken up and an advertisement
inserted in all the papers that the
event would take place in the Hay
market Theater. January 16. 1879.
The theater on that night was packed.
and many thousands were turned
from the door. The conjurer ap-
neared on the stage and told the peO-
nle that if they would pay double price
he would jump into a pint instead Of
a Quart bottle. He then made his exit
through a rear door and carried Oft
the box receipts with him. The af-
fair ended in riot and the theater
was almost wrecked. The Duke of
Montague and his betting friend had
to leave the city and remain away un-
til it was forgotten.

sighed Tom CourtIand.

moment, but he. smiled again as he
said:

though. If L did, L should be dead sure

For moment the remark seemed to
veX Grantley, and to sober him. He
spent a few seconds evidently reflect
ing on it.
We'll. hope not" he said at last.
But at any rate L should think so
generally"
Then you could mostly make her
think so. But if it wasn't true you
might feel a brute"
$50 I might, Jeremy"
And it mightn't be permanently
safe. She sees things uncommonly
sharp sometimes. Well, [ must be off.
Going back to Haeckel2"
Jeremy nodded gravely. He was
not susceptible to ridicule on the sub
ject of his theories. The two watched
him stride away toward Old Mill
House with decisive. vigorous steps
Rum product for country par
sonage, Grantley."
"Oh, he's not a product; he's only
an embryo. But l think he's a prom

GrantIey laughed easily. MY poor

AS they walked by the parsonage a
bicycle came whizzing through the
open garden gate. 1t was propelled by
a girl of fifteen or thereabouts-a slim,
long-legged child. almost gaunt in her
immaturity and lamentably grown out
of her frock She cried shrill greeting
to Grantley and went of down the
street, displaying her skill to whose
ever would look by riding with her
arms akimbo.

sufferers and admirers respectively
The obligation of being as civil as
he could to his wife caused Courtland
to take three or four minutes in franz
ing his telegram, and when he came out
he found Grantley seated on the bench
that stood by the inn and conversing
with young man who wore a very
old coat and rough tweed knicker-
hockers. Grantley introduced him as
Jeremy Chiddingfold, and Courtland
knew that he was Sibylla's brother.
Sibylla herself he had not yet seen.
Jeremy had a shock Of sandy hair, a
wide brow and a wide mouth; his eyes
were rather protuberant and his nose
turned UP, giving prominence to the
ncstrils.
NO family likeness, hope?" Court
land found himself thinking; for
though Jeremy was vigorous, II not
a handsome, masculine type, the lines
were far from being those Of feminine
beauty.
And he's enormously surprised and
evidently rather shocked to hear I'm
going to marry his sister-oh. we can
talk away, Jeremy; Tom Courtand
doesn't matter. He knows all the bad
there is about me and wants to know
all the good there is about Sibylla."
One additional auditor by no means
embarrassed Jeremy; perhaps not a.
hundred would have.
Though of course, somebody must
have married her, you know" Grantley
went on, smiling and stretching himself
luxuriously like a sleek indolent cat.
II hate marriage altogether" de-
clared Jeremy.
Courtland turned to him with a quick
jerk of his head.
THE deuce you dol" he said, laugh
ing. Its early in life to have come
to that conclusion, Mr.. Chiddingfold." Z"
Yes, yes, Jeremy, quite so; but"
It's an invention Of priests" Jeremy
insisted heatedly
CourtIand, SCARED with fifteen years
experience of the institution thus
roundly attacked, was immensely di-
verted, though his own feelings gave
a rather bitter twist to his rnirth.
Grantley argued, or rather pleaded,
with a deceptive gravity:
But If you fall in love with a girl p
Heaven Forbid"
'Well but the world must be peo-
pied, Jeremy"
Marriage isn't necessary to that, is
it?"
"Ohoi" whistled Courtland.
I'VE may concede the point-in
theory" said Grantley; in practice it's
more difficult.'
Because, people won't think clearly
and bravely!" cried Jeremy, with a
thump on the bench. Because they're
hidebound, and, as / say, the priests
heaven-and-he them till they don't
know where they are"
"Heaven-and-hell them! Good phrase,
Jeremy! You speak feelingly. Your
father, perhaps? Oh, excuse me, I'm
one of the family now"
My father? Not a bit. Old Mumples
now. if you like. However that's got
nothing to do with It. I'm going on
the lines Of pure reason. And what is
pure reason?"
