And the dim bat reeks with his grass cold
breath.
HE SLIPPER TRICK.
This varnished dancing pump was
slipped off the foot of an exquisite yonng
man at a reception at one of the leading
salons of Paris. My eminently correct
readers need not turn up their aristocratic
noses at the vulgar lack of delicacy be
trayed by my exquisite young man. Let
him among yon who does not adore a
dainty foot cast the first stone.
Octave Latoumelle—that is my ex
quisite young man’s name—was not only
perfect dancer. He possessed not only
two very nimble legs, but two very nim
ble hands, whereof the adroitness was
the admiration of all his friends. Indeed
the most expert conjurer would not have
been ashamed to own him for a pupil.
At his word of command watches passed
from one pocket to another, gold coins
vanished into thin air, flowers grew upon
him as if on a magical bush—he drew
them forth from his pockets, his sleeves,
his waistcoat, his cravat, in quantities
sufficient to decorate the corsages of all
the ladies present, and this after having,
by way of preamble, turned his pockets
inside oat, rolled ap his sleeves and
opened his waistcoat. In a word, he was
the enchanter of the best drawing rooms
and the spoiled child of the ladies.
Perhaps, rather than the spoiled child,
he considered himself the petted dar
ling. At any rate he waB in love, and he
made that fact known with the audacity
that often gives success.
The object of his adoration was the
yonugwife of General Pascalon—it is
only the husband’s rank that restrains
me from mentioning the disparity of
their ages. Bnt all generals have yonng
wives, which is only another proof that
the truly brave do not recoil from dan
gers of any kind. It is traditional in
oases of this kind that the husband
should be jealous, bnt General Pascalon
was not so. Bnt if he was not an Othel
lo neither was he a fooL
Trusting in the loyalty of his yonng
wife, he cherished no illusions. He en
joyed many a Palais Royal farce—with
bis wife by his side more often than not,
which was imprudent perhaps—bnt he
also escorted her to balls, never plead
ing bis age as an excuse, and waited pa
tiently for her till after the cotillon,
and to all appearances his wife was quite
content
Perhaps she was so. Bnt there were
plenty of yonng fellows who would look
down at yon from the high superiority
of their 25 years if yon ventured to ex
press such an idea and say:
“With an old fellow like that! Really
yon are too refreshing."
The genera! was not to be laughed at
He knew his danger, not only before all
the world had seen it, bnt before anyone
else suspected it, and he saved his honor
like a man of intelligence—which indeed
he could have done in' no other way.
And this brings ns down at last to the
varnished slipper of the exquisite young
I have said that the affair took place
in the midst of a reception. Dancing
was going on in the larger rooms. The
general was chatting with some of the
older guests in a small room adjoining
tb? one set out with card tables. He
happened to glance carelessly toward
the players and started suddenly in sur
prise.
“Bless me," said he, patting ap his
glasses,'‘there’s my wife at a whist table.
I certainly thought she was waltzing or
polkoing or something, and there she
is playing whist. She most be very
tired, for she never playB cards and is
always dancing. I shall have to scold
her," he added, with a laugh, “for in
dulging herself so much in her favorite
pleasure that she has to do penance at
the card table," and he strolled leisurely
toward the players.
A jostle knocking his glasses from his
eyes os he reached the whist table, he
stooped to pick them np and saw be
neath the table a slipper, a patent leath
er pump, from which its tenant had
caped, and now, shod only in fine black
silk hose, was pushed against the little
foot of the general's wif& Bnt be also
noticed that the latter constantly avoided
the foot that so persistently panned her
own. >
“Hum," said the general, taking in
the situation at a glance, “the fortress
Is attacked, bnt it is well defended,
have arrived just in time." Then, smil
ing calmly as if he had seen nothing,
leaning over his wife's chair, questioning
and advising her play, he devoted him
self to a feat that would have famished
a dramatist with an irresistibly comic
theme, considering the difficulties of the
situation. The general had undertaken
to draw toward him with the tip of his
boot the abandoned slipper, provoking
every instant sndden jerks from joetlet
feet, protestations from disturbed play
ers, astonished looks from those who
could see the extraordinary movements
At this moment the mistress of the
house came np to ask Latoumelle if he
would not perform some of his amusing
tricks.
•‘Certainly; 1 shall be delighted,” he
answered nervously, preoccupied as he
was by the extraordinary movements of
the general, who stooped down justtben
as if to pick np something and immedi
ately got np and left tbs group.
“Well, sir." said the lady, “give ms
;rour arm. and I will introduce yon.
Your audience is growing impatient."
‘Certainly, madams, in just one mo
ment," said Latoumelle, feeling with
his foot for his slipper, and so recom
mencing the remarkable jig executed by
the general a few moments before. Now
the other players laughed outright—
which they had not dared, to do the first
time. And the mistress of the house
stood there, surprised at being kept
waiting so long and wondering how
much longer her escort would keep her
in that attitude. Impatient ladies came
in shoals to add their solicitations to
those of their hostess.
Our yonng man positively had to get
ont of the predicament some how. He
did get ont of it. bnt with only one shoe,
for he also had stooped down and dis
covered the disappearance of the mis
guided slipper, and he marveled in deep
anxiety how he was going to explain such
state of affairs.
His one shod foot provoked general
hilarity, then delighted applause and
cxies of “It’s a trick! It’s some trick I"
The petted'darling of the ladies smiled
weak smile and stammered:
“Yea, ladies, it is a trick.”
Applause, accompanied ,by a general
clapping of hands, greeted this an
nouncement, while Latoumelle kept say
ing to himself:;
“Oh, yes, it’s a great trick, bnt some
one has played it on me, and I don't find
it so very funny. If 1 only knew who it
was”—then, struck with an idea: “Heav
ens! If it could be the general—bis sin
gular performance jnst now—and 1 saw
him stoop down—if it was really he, it
would be a pretty uncomfortable joke on
me. How can 1 make sure?"
As be escorted the lady through the
room be tried to get near the general.
He managed to do so, and with the back
of his hand he cautiously knocked
against the pocket of the general’s coat
which be suspected contained the slip
per. There was nothing there! He tried
to sound the other pocket, bnt a slight
move on the general’s part carried him
ont of reach. To touch it, it was neces
sary to pass around on the side where it
was.
Where in the world are yon taking
me?” demanded the lady on his arm.
Why—er—to the head of the room,'
and as he was now on the right side of
the general he wanted to try the other
pocket. Here was a new obstacle that
he had not foreseen. The fact that the
lady had the arm nearest the general
made any attempt at exploration impos
sible. He offered the other on the pre
text of an old wound which was paining
him and was able at last to repeat his
former tactics. This time he was satis
fied. “It’s there!” he murmured, and he
did not enjoy the reflection that the hus
band of his adored one had discovered
his maneuvers under the table.
'Well, I’m in a pretty mess," he con
cluded.
Everybody had crowded into the room,
there was an expectant hash, and all
were on tiptoe for the promised trick.
There was no way to retreat
“Here goes,” said the imprudent lover.
“I must take the plunge, come what
tnay.” And he plunged.
Ladies,” he said, “I*have lost my slip
per. I have not got it concealed about
my person; my pockets are empty”—he
turned them inside ont—“nor is it in my
coat”—he helditopen—“nor in my waist
coat”—he unbuttoned it—“nor in my
sleeves”—and he turned them np to his
elbows. “Yob see, ladies, 1 have noth
ing in my hands or my pockets. 1 most
find ont, then, where the lost article is.
Nothing is more simple. I have only to
make a slight cabalistic calculation.”
Wm this he covered his face with his
bands and assumed an attitude of pro
found cogitation. Then, without re
moving his hands, he counted: “One,

“Not pad!” the latter exclaimed un

universal cries of “Search yourself,
search yourself, general,” he drew the
■Upper from the pocket indicated.
A storm of applause fats evoked by the
brilliant success of the trick. Then, aft-
much whispering, several voices
cried, “Oh, tho general is his confeder

“Yes, yes,” came a chorus of voices:
he’s a confederate.”
The conjurer protested. *
“Do it again, then!” some one demand
ed, and everybody took np the cry: “Yes.
yest Do it again!”
“Oh." said a lady, “the general has
jnst been whispering to M. Latonrnelle."
And the cry went np again that he was
a confederate.
The general affirmed that he was in no
sense furthering the conjurer’s devices..
“Bnt yon were just now whispering
with him,” insisted the witnesses of the
conference.
“The exact truth is this, ladies; Yon
asked the conjurer to repeat bis per
formance. 1 jnst this moment told him
that it was one of those tricks that should
not be tried a second time. Did I not.

“Precisely, general, and I shall fol

“It shall not be repeated.”
