It was certainly an odd adventure,
and one in which I exhibited a de
gree of audacity that I can scarcely
credit now, but it brought me such
good fortune that I never regretted
it, especially with such a reputation
for dignity as I now enjoy. It is not
a very long story, yet I think it will
interest you. My wife says I have
told it too many times, but I believe
it will bear one more repetition.
It was in the year 1850. 1 was in
the employ of a large mercantile
house. 1 had begun with them six
years before, fresh from a country
town, and had gradually been pro
moted until 1 was confidential clerk
and had charge of the corps of book
keepers which the business demand
ed. 1 was of a reserved disposition,
of studious habits and was fast be
coming a confirmed bachelor when
the events 1 shall narrate occurred,
changing the tenor of my life.
It was the month of December. 1
remember the evening as distinctly
as though it were just past The
snow was several inches deep, and
the sky was filled with the small
white messengers. The gaslights
glimmered feebly, the Bhop windows
were obscured, traffic in the street
had nearly ceased, while the few
who were out hurried as fast as pos
sible to their respective destinations.
Important business demanded my
attention in Glasgow, and 1 was to
leave by the midnight train for that
city. 1 had taken my supper, or,
more properly speaking, a light
lunch near the office, where 1 was
employed until 10 o'clock with the
accounts and papers which were
necessary in the transaction of the
business which called me away. 1
looked at my watch and found I had
but scant time to go home and get
my valise, which I had unfortunate
ly (as 1 then blindly hoped) forgot
ten to bring with me.
As I stepped out into the wintry
air and breasted the storm the sen
sation, instead of being unpleasant,
was rather exhilarating, i found ia
a few moments, however, that the
storm was more severe than I had
imagined, and my progress was very
difficult It took me much longer
than 1 anticipated, so 1 was in a
great hurry.
1 lived in a long row of houses, all
just alike. 1 knew nothing of those
who lived upon either side, for 1 was
away early in the morning, was gone
all day, and after 1 got l>ack at night
devoted myself to my pipe and
Ixioks, very rarely going out again.
The storm seemed to have re
doubled its fury ns 1 went up,the
steps and opened the door. I Vas
almost blown into the hall, and tie
door swung behind mo with violence.
All was dark, but 1 knew just where
my valise was, all ready. So 1 crept
up stairs cautiously to avoid further
disturbance, found my room door
open and in the corner where I ex
peeted my valise.
Without an instant’s delay 1 rushed
down stairs and was soon out in the
blinding sleet. 1 was really exhaust
ed when I got to the station, and to
add to my trials I was just in time
to 6ee the train slowly moving off.
After a sharp run I caught the last
carriage, recovered my breath os
soon as I could, put my valise into a
rack and settled myself for a nap.
When 1 awoke, it was morning, and
I found to my dismay that we were
snowbound and had made but little
progress on our way.
There was nothing to do, however,
but make the best of it I read
awhile, smoked awhile, even lent
them a hand in clearing the line, and
after other devices to kill time
thought I would look over my buri'
ness matters. As 1 took down my
valise it felt so light it attracted my
attention at once, so I involuntarily
looked it over attentively. It cer
tainly appeared right, and there were
my initials, C. S. R., in the proper
place.
Something instinctively told me 1
had made a mistake, and before
opening I tried to think how it hap
pened. Although 1 had taken it in
the dark, 1 recalled the stairway, the
room at the end of the upper hall,
the position of things as they ap
peared in what little light there was
and the valise in the corner whence
I took it There could be no mis
take, and yet this valise seemed only
about half as heavy as it ought to be.
It may appear strange that J had
not noticed it before, but in my hur-'
ry to the station I doubt if 1 should
have noticed it had it been empty.
To solve the mystery I opened it,
and the contents certainly were not
mine. Perhaps some of the fel
lows in the house had played a
trick on me. I found some toilet ar
ticles, some apples, a book, and at
the bottom a roll which appeared to
be my papers, but which proved to
be a lecture in manuscript upon
“Grecian Art,” with the name Ches
ter Sylvanus Richardson at the end.
Who the dickens he was remained a
mystery, and how I came by his va
lise is a still greater problem.
After more study over it it flashed
upon me that I must have gone into
one of the other houses in the row.
This eased my mind a little, though
I still felt anxious about my papers.
There was nothing to do but exercise
E tience, and so I began reading the
rture. Although somewhat be- 4 '
yond my acquirements. I found it in
teres ting and instructive.
Toward 4 o'clock in the afternoon
we arrived at Carlisle. As it was
impossible to transact my business
in full without my papers, and I was
weary with the slow progress I had
made, I formed a sudden resolution
to stop over night in Carlisle, tele
graph for my valise and go to Glas
gow some time the next day when it
arrived.
The snow about the town was fair
ly beaten down, considering the
fierceness of the storm and the short
hurry, but leisurely passed along the
platform in the rear of the other pas
sengers. As I was about to step off
the platform, to my surprise two
gentlemen of nice appearance seemed
about to accost me, but as they were
total straugers to me I of course sup :
posed myself mistaken and passed on. j
In a moment they were by my !
side, and one of them said very po ;
litely:
“Excuse me, professor; I thought
it was you, but did not feel sure un
til I saw the initials on your valise.
I am sorry you have had such a
rough journey, but I can assure you
a good audience despite the storm.”
I was so dumfounded that I could
not resist his efforts as he and his
friend escorted me to a carriage,
placed me in it and then entered
themselves. Before I had a chance
to speak the elder gentleman said:
“1 trust, professor, you will at
once feel at home with us. You
have many warm friends in tho
town, though you are a stranger per
sonally to us.”
“Yes,” broke In the other man; “I
Look here, Bill,” to the other
man, “didn’t Professor Richardson
lecture here last night?”
Oh, what should 1 do if recognized
as the impostor I
“I don’t know,* 1 was the answer.
“I heard he did, though.”
“Well, here is a message to Mr.
Lincoln from him, which says be
couldn’t come on account of the
6torm. Something funny somewhere.
I'd better get this up to him as soon
as possible.”
So off he started to find a boy to
carry the message. Whatever 1 did
must be done quickly. I found that
a train left in 20 minutes. I rushed
back to the Lincolns' house, got in
without being seen, grabbed my va
Use and was soon on my journey to
Glasgow, whence I telegraphed for
my proper valise.
My heart smote me for treating my
host so, but I felt the worse at not
being able to bid adieu to Miss Lily.
As soon as I arrived at my hotel 1
sent the following note to Mr. Lin
coin:
Dear Sir—Unexpected circumstances forced
Am Mr. Ackerin&n, chairman of the meintoasfiur in? the character of one far more
lecture committee, and my friend 1 * ot d«.rvin g «han my.
i “ J . self. 1 shall renew our acquaintance In propria
here is Mr. Lincoln, who would in
gist you should make your headquar
ters at his house.”
I saw what their mistake was, but
how to get myself out of the matter
caused me to fall into a reverie, dur
ing which my companions ceased to
talk to me. A few moments’ thought,
and I determined to perform the part
so unexpectedly thrust upon me and
give the lecture as best I could.
Thanking the gentlemen, and fearing
the conversation might drift into
channels where I could not sustain it
creditably, I begged permission tore-
main quiet, as my journey had been
very fatiguing.
We speedily arrived at a handsome
residence, into which 1 gladly en
tered. I was ushered into a warm,
pleasant sitting room, and when left
alone my conscience began to smite
me. I bad not long to reproach my
self when 1 heard the sound of a
woman’s voice, and Mr. Lincoln’s
wife entered and cordially bade me
welcome. In conversing with her I
discovered that I was a very learned
and eloquent professor, and that the
public were very eager to hear me.
I trembled at my audacity, but 1
could only carry out the character 1
had so rashly assumed. t The lady in
formed me that her son, who was
very intimate with me (then I shud
dered), was away (here I breathed
freely), but I should meet her daugh
ter lily.
The lady left, and after a brief
quiet, which seemed hours to me, 1
heard voices in the hall. There was
evidently an intention to speak in
a low tone, but nevertheless I heard
all that was said distinctly, as the
door was slightly ajar.
“What is this wonderful prodigy
of learning like, mamma? Is he a
solemn faced man, with rleek hair,
spectacles and erudition written on
every feature? Have I drawn a cor
rect picture, mammal”
“Oh, no, indeed!” was the answer.
“He is much unlike what Charlie's
letter had led me to expect. He is
really a fine looking man, very gen
tlemanly and very pleasing to con
verse with, but I must say 1 should
never suppose be was such a learned
man as be undoubtedly is.”
1 begun to feel doubly guilty and
had not recovered my composure
when Miss Lily entered the room.
She was such a vision of loveliness
that my discomfiture was increased
1 know I must have seemed really
stupid, bu my supposed wisdom
doubtless encouraged her to overlook
it, and the grace of her welcome com
pleted the fascination her first ap
pearance h«d created.
We were soon talking so eagerly
thut I forgot my embarrassment. 1
was delighted to find that her range
of reading and thought were such
that we could talk very intelligently
together. I pretended to be a great
lover of music, and our conversation
turned upon that topic, so that when
her mother came to call ns to tea we
were singing together and enjoying
each other's society os though we
had been friends for years.
Tea was soon over, and the event
ful moment was near. I overheard
Miss Lily say to her mother in a
whisper, “Mamma, he is splendid.”
This infused me with fresh courage
for the ordeal. Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Lin
coln, Miss Lily and I drovo together
to the halL
The sight of the brilliantly lighted
room and the expectant people mado
my knees tremble and my heart beat
quickly, but I left my companions
and made my way to the anteroom,
where I found my friend, the chair
man, facing a hall full of intelligent
looking people and conspicuous
among them the bright eyes and
charming face of Miss Lily.
I do not know what it was the
chairman said. I only know it was
a panegyric upon me, and that when
he said, “I now have the honor and
the pleasure of presenting to you the
celebrated lecturer and scholar. Pro
fessor Richardson,” I arose and stood
before them, undecided whether to
speak or to turn and run.
The applause which followed gave
me a little time to brace up. So,
spreading the manuscript upon the
desk, I began. I had devoted a little
time to elocution and had looked
over the manuscript in the train, so
I was fairly familiar with it, and as
I proceeded 1 kept gaining additional
courage, and the lecture was deliv
ered in a way that astonished myself
and won repeated plaudits.
A vote of thanks to me was unan
imously passed, the audience dis-
E rsed, and I was soon seated in Mr.
ncoln’s pleasant home, where he
poured out a stream of congratula
tory remarks. Miss lily was silent,
but I thought her looks indorsed her
father's speech. I was much tired by
my exertions and gladly availed my
self of the excuse to retire.
Alone in my room, the possible con
sequences of my evening's lecture
troubled me. I was deeply impressed
dy Miss Lily’s beauty, culture and be
witching manners. But how could 1
continue the acquaintance? I could
not long remain in the character of
professor, and an attempt to explain
might complicate matters the more.
Tho only way open was to leave with
out explaining and contrive some
way in future to atone for my folly
So after breakfast I took a long
walk, during which I considered mat
ters, and at last stepped into a tele
graph office to send for my valise,
which had almost escaped my recol
lection. While standing in the office
preparing my message, a man came
in and began chatting with the oper
ator. Just then the instrument h
persona In a way that I hope will entitle me to
yonr confidence and excuse the deception 1
bare practiced. With much esteem and re
spect. yours, C. 8. Roc’ubstxr.
I heard afterward what excitemert
followed the delivery of the telegram
and the discovery of my absence.
Mr. Lincoln and his wife were fu
rious, but Miss Lily was confident it
would come out all right. Somehow,
when my note was received, it tended
somewhat toward softening her fa
ther’s anger, but it was a mystery for
some time to them alb
The professor made a trip to the
place to investigate the matter and
was invited to lecture. I am vain
enough to be pleased with the fact
that the people declared the false
professor was the more eloquent of
the two.
Later I called upon the professor
and told him the whole story. He
laughed heartily at my venture and
proved to be a capital fellow. Our ac

not long before I was in 8 again
with a cordial indorsement from him.
Miss Lily answered my ring herself,
and her look of astonishment I shall
never forget.
The reading of the professor's letter
made everything satisfactory. Mr.
Lincoln laughed loud and long as 1
told him how I felt upon my former
visit. I called again and very often,
and one day there was a wedding in

An Iron Theater Curtain*
An interesting development In the
use of theater curtains, especially
against the spread of fire, is now seen
in many theaters. Mr. Charles J.
Phipps, F. & A., the architect, for
instance, has always contended that
the value of the proscenium wall in
theaters was nullified by the large
opening on to the stage being left
open and free from any protection.
The difficulty was to construct a rigid
curtain that would withstand the
action of fire on either side for at
least a quarter of an hour or twenty
minutes. A curtain on the principle
of a revolving shutter had been tried
in London and the provinces, but Mr.
Phipps was tho first architect to in
troduce into this country an iron cur
tain that formed one unbroken divi
sion between the stage and the audi
torium and all practically welded in
one piece.
A curtain of this kind which costs
somewhere about £G00 is erected at
the Prince of. Wales’ theater. It is
constructed upon an iron framework
with sheets of boiler plate on either
side, the curtain lieing thus a double
curtain with an air space between of
about five inches. Thirty-two feet
wide and about 30 feet high it is
raised by means of hydraulic rams
on cither side, the apparatus being
worked by a small lever on the
prompt side of the proscenium. The
time taken in coming down is less
than half a minute. When the enrtain
has descended, it rests upon a solid
wall of brickwork, cemented over and
brought up level with tho floor of
the stage. It weighs some six tons.

Coffins For Exhibition Only.
Not long ago a Russian Jew family
had a funeral, and before tho cere
mony took place the head at the
house visited a local undertaker, say
ing, “Have you a coffin with a mov
able bottom?” He spoke in a singu
lar patois, and the undertaker had
great difficulty to comprehend bis
intention. He wanted a “show” cof
fin in which the body was to be tak
en to the cemetery and lowered into
the grave. Then the coffin most be
drawn out of the grave, leaving its
bottom lid with the body in the
ground. The coffin was to be re
turned to the undertaker and the
man pay him for the use of it Poor
Russians, it appears, are in the habit
of burying their dead in that way,
and undertakers in that country
have a supply of show or “remov
able” coffins to let. They are hand
some and costly ones—too expensive
to be purchased outright by the poor
—with elegant lining and heavy sil
ver trimmings. The bottom is fas
tened to the body of the coffin with
springs that may be tripped, and
then it is released together with the
body. The body is left in a plain,
cheap box.
The Norwich undertakers had no
such contrivance, so the poor Rus
sian consulted with his friends, who
united with him in having a show
coffin constructed and paying for it
It is to be used hy them henceforth
as a “community" coffin.—Norwich
