Only the Leg Went Up. and Then There

had wives and families, to whom a
boiled leg of mutton would have been
a thing to be remembered.
So they hit upon a plan, and one
night William Farren. who had the
carving of the joint, was asked to fix
a hook that would be let down from
the flies into the mutton and leave
the rest to them" Farren, always
ready for a practical joke. consented
and as the scene was coming to ter
mination fastened the. hook into the
leg of mutton. AS scene shifters were
preparing to 'clOse in" and the prop
erty man stood in the wings ready to
seize on his perquisite the leg Of NUT
ton was seen slowly to ascend.
The audience laughed. Henry Comp
ton. who was watching the maneuver,
laughed. too. and the employees all
gave vent to their feelings In Ill sup
pressed merriment, all except the
property man. who remained miser-
ably serious and gazed at the fast de-
parting supper with a woebegone
cOuntenance. Suddenly as the scene
was almost closed in the hook, which
Farren had unfortunately fastened
only in the fat, gave way, and down
came the coveted mutton with a ter
rife splash upon the dish.
The audience now roared. the en-
ployees roared. both Farren and
Compton rOared. and as the flats
hid the unrehearsed tableau from
view the now delighted property man
rushed upon the stage and secured his
