IRVING AND MONTAGUE.
One o, Their Practical Jokes That
Scared Their Friends.

In Scott's THE Drama of Yesterday
and Today the author tells of pfac-
teal joke played by Henry Irving and
Harry Montague upon n number Of
their friends, and sin its execution was
seen the first dawning glimmer of that
tragic force that was ultimately to find
expression in Hoods Dream of Eugene
Aram' and The Bells.'" Irving and
Montague. hitherto the best allies, be-
gan to quarrel on their way to n picnic,
and their friends feared some tragic
consequences. After luncheon both of
the men disappeared.
Smale's face turned deadly pale. He
felt that his worst fears were being
realized. With one wild cry. They're
Sone-what on earth has become OF
them?" he made Il dash down the Dar-
gle over the rocks and powders, with
the remainder of the picnic party at his
heels.
At the bottom of dreadful hollow
behind the little wood" a fearful sight
presented itself to the astonished
friends. There on a stone sat Henry
Irving in his shirt sleeves. his long hair
matted over his eyes. his thin hands
and white face all smeared with blood,
and dangling an open clasp knife.
He was muttering to himself In n
savage tone: I've done it, I've done It!
| said l would! said wouldw
Tom Smale in an agong of fear
rushed up to Irving. who waved him
on one side with threatening gestures.
For Gods sake, man." screamed the
distracted Smale, tell us where he is.'
Irving. scarcely moving a muscle,
pointed to heap Of dead leaves and
In sepulchral tones cried: Hes there
there! I've done for himI I've MUIR
dered him.
Smale literally bounded to the heap
and began fiinging aside the leaves In
every direction. Presently he found
the body Of Harry Montague lying face
downward. Almost paralyzed with
fear. Smale just managed to turn the
head around and found Montague con-
vulsed with laughter, with n pocket
handkerchief in his mouth to prevent
an explosion. Never was better acting
seen on any stage.
