A BLACK GHOST.

Listen to this one," said Richard
BuhJer as he reached for the grease
paint In the Lubin studio. Several
ears ago I was playing in San Fran
cisco in the company of a well-known
tragedian, and Hamlet was billed
for one OF the performances in the
cid Bush Street Theater. Curtain
time was at hand, but the actor who
had been cast to play the ghost had
failed to put in an appearance. A
hurried search failed to locate him
and finally as a last resort, messen-
gers were sent forth to find a sub
stitute. One of the recruiting party
recalled that Lew Rather, proprietor
of cafe near by, was an old profess
siona1 having played many seasons
with Haverley's Mastodon Minstrels.
lie consented to help out in the
emergency, and after being intro
duced to the tragedian, retired to a
dressing room.
"In due time the call boy sum-
moned him for his cue, and Rattler,
clad in kingly mantle, stepped upon
the darkened stage with sceptre in
hand. When the spotlight was
thrown upon his figure, the tragedian
staggered back speechless. No won
der. Through force of habit, the old
minstrel man had blackened up for
the part. Noting the embarrassment
of the star and seeking to resume the
action of the play, Rather remarked
cheerfully: What's the matter, Ham?
Don't yo' recognize yo' dad?
