Mt. Aubrey ETerdene looked out
Upon Sackvillertretrian’d yawned. Only
an instant before hehad written “finis”
to a magazine article with a dash of the
pan across the last -sheet, arid'now the
MSS. lay ready for'the,pqst jitnonp the
debris of printer's proofs, hew novels
awaiting review, etc., \with which the '
writing table was streW&d. , t
One of the best known litterateur* in
London and a brilliant conversation
ist, his tongue could be as scathing as
his pen, and it was said Gif him, with
•regard to the latter weapon of warfare,
'.that in half a dozen polished sentences
he could do more toward -damning a
book than any two of his compeers. A
big, loosely made mao. was Mr. Everdene,
with shrewd gray eyes and the pessim
ism of a modern. Studying his face as
he lounged by the window, his feands in
the pockets of his smoking jacket, one
could see that he had a lively sense of
humor combined with his other charac
teristics and understood the interest his
personality aroused.
Presently a servant brought him a
visiting card on a salver.
“The lady would be obliged if yon
would grant her an interview, sir. *’
“Lady Hilyard, ” muttered Everdene,
reading the inscription. “Icau’t recall
the name. Bother the woman! What
does she want? However, ask her to
come up, Blake. ”
When she entered, a fair, elegant
woman of perhaps 25, in an irreproach
able Parisian toilet, he was still more
convinced that he had not the privilege
of her acquaintance.
“Mr. Aubrey she queried.
Mr. Everdene bowed.
“Pray take a seat, madame. ”
“No,” she said. “I have come to
quarrel with you, and I don’t sit down
in the houses of my enemies!”
“To quarrel with me!” His eyebrows
went up. The thought came to him that
his visitor was not in her right mind.
“Yes. Perhaps I had better explain
myself at once. I am the author of
'Fashion and Footlights. ’ ”
Mr. Everdene, standing perforce be
cause she would, pulled his mustache,
while the fair stranger tapped her No.
3 shoe on the carpet with impatience
and looked pitchforks and daggers.
“‘Fashion and Footlights,ho re
■ fleeted aloud. “ 'Fashion and Foot
lights. ’ Hu!”
Comprehension stole over his face and
■with .it a slight amusement. Ho fished
among a pile of volumes and brought
out three bound with an elegance des
tined to win the hearts of suburban cir
culating libraries.
“Here it is. Reviewed it in The Cen
turion, didn’t I?”
- “No,” she said, “you hanged aud
quartered it!”
“I am sorry. May I ask how you
found out that I was the culprit?”
“Oh, by accident. It’s a long story
and tfnimportant, since you don't deny
the imputation. Now, Mr. Everdene, I
- know it is very impertinent of me, a
stranger, to come to vour private ad
dress and worry yog, tam doing a very
unnsri'al thing, I am afraid, and Mrs.
Grundy would bo horrified. But ‘fools
rash ’ you know, and widows are
privilogi d, You must have a little pa
tience with me because”—for the first
time her lips relaxed, and she smiled a
. smile that was sweetness itself—“well,
just because I'm a woman and you’re a
gentleman. Acknowledge the truth,
now, on your honor. Don’t you think
you were unnecessarily harsh to my
poor little literary effort?”
“No,” he said bluntly; “I always
give my true opinion of things, and I
consider your book had many faults. ”
If she had been a man, he would have
said, “I thought it was bad,” with
the brusqueness of conviction and prob
ably declined to discuss the matter, but
to a lady it was impossible to be rude.
He regarded her absurdly unconvention
al presence with a tolerant kindness.
“Os course, I admit that there are
faults, but upon one or two points in
your criticism I cannot agree with you.
I should very much like to discuss them
with you. May I?”
• “Certainly. ” His month was twitch
ing under his heavy mustache. “But
don’t you think, pending the verdict,
that yon had better sit down? You will
be fatigued. If you’ll permit me to
Wheel'this armchair nearer the fire for
you—so!”
Having carefully arranged it so that
she should face the light, he seated him
self opposite her—the A. B. C. of di
plomacy, but she did not appear to no
tice it. She was drawing arabesques on
the carpet with the point of her ivory
handled umbrella.
“I should very much like to know,”
she said, “what you think of my com
ing here?”
“I think you are plucky—yes, and
recklessly unconventional. ’ ’
“Candid, at any rate! And 1 like
that.” She looked up. “Now for the
first indictment on the list, Mr. Ev< r-
You accuse me of improbability.
deny it.
His manner bordered on preoccupa-
tion. In truth, he was thinking Wkat
wonderful lashes she had, ami how -be
coming a Hush of excitement could rise
to a clear, pale skin.
“Y ou assert, ” she continued warmly,
“thatiit ist ridiculous to suppose tbaiia
man and woman of the world could fall
in lore at first sight, as I make my hero
and heroine do, and that such proceed
ings are limited to boys and girls an
theiriteens and the pages of penny fic
tion. 'I should have thought that Mr.
Auhmoy Everdene .would have shown
wider sympathies.”
“Then you really believe. Lady Hitl
yard, that adult, sensible people con
ceive such abrupt attachments?”
“I .am convinced that it happens fre
quently. ’'
“G'h, <come, not frequently?’'
“Well, sometimes, ” she amended. “13
could .give you a dozen instances.”
He lacked the heart to argue wftl’
her. Rcwould have been like breaking
a butterfly on a wheel. And, after all,
there might be more sentiment ig, Ap,
de fflttcle ihumanity than he thought
Women ‘have wonderful intuition is
these matters. „
“Well, suppose we let that slide for
the moment and proceed to indictment
No- 2- What, other phrase of mine do
you take (exception to?” .
“Yon said that I had not the remotest
idea of construction, and that ‘Fashion
and Footlights’ was evidently a speci
men of that objectionable class of fiction
which you regretted to see was growing
so prevalent—the amateur novel, bora
of vanity and a Jack of wholesome oc
cupation. ‘ ’
Her voice dxed.away with a tremor.
He had only stafced the truth, 'but that
fact did not prevent the speechless Mr.
Everdene from feeling as if he had com
mitted a particularly brutal murder
and the ghost of the victim had come
to arraign him before all the people
whose opinions he valued most.
“I—l cried, ” she nsmrmured pathetic
ally.
Her Sips quivered. Beads.of perspira
tion rose to the man’s forehead.
“Good heavens, if I had only guessed
how much I should hurt you! It was
harsh, monstrous. No doubt I was in a
bad temper, and your unfortunate book
was the first thing that afforded me an
opportunity to vent my spleen. ”
Lady Hilyard applied six square
inches of cambric and lace to the corner
of an eyelid.
“If you’ll only believe me, my dear
Lady Hilyard, when I tell you that I’m
sorrier than I can say. ’ ’
“Then you acknowledge that you
were needlessly cruel?”
‘‘l was brutal. ’ ’ He would have com
mitted blacker perjury as she wiped
that tear away.
“And that I had just cause for indig
nation?”
“You were perfectly right ”
A smile broke like April sunshine
over her face.
“In that case, I suppose I must for
give you. ’ ’
He was ridiculously grateful. He
heaved a sigh of relief and hesitated,
with his hand on the button of the elec
tric bell.
“Lady Hilyard, you know the Arab
custom of taking salt with one's friends?
As a token of good will permit me to
give you the prosaic English equivalent
of a cup of tea. ’ ’
The offer was tempting, the room was
hot, and she had talked a great deal.
She yielded—and more. When the re
freshments came, accompanied by won
derful sweetmeats from Bond street
round the corner, she asked permission
to pour it out for him with a winning
graciousness which charmed him. It
afforded him an odd sense of pleasure,
too, to see her white fingers moving
about the china. He was unapeustomed
to the presence of women in his home.
With the Japanese table between
them, them chatted for awhile,
then the clock on the mantelpiece struck
6. She rose, with a pretty gesture of
dismay, like a second Cinderella. “Do
you know, Mr. Everdene, that I have
been a whole hour wasting your valua
ble time?”
‘‘l thought it had been 10 minutes,”
ho answered, “and the pleasantest time
of my life. ”
“Very pretty!” she said, blushing
faintly. “And, in return for it, let me
tell you my address is on my card, and
that my ‘day’ is Thursday. Also I must
thank you very heartily for your kind
ness and courtesy to an impertinent in
truder. Very few men would have been
so considerate. ’ ’
"Please don’t thank me. It is I who
owe you a debt of gratitude. You have
taught me something I never expected
I to learn. ”
“What?”
“That the conduct of your hero and
heroine was not improbable at all. ”
Their eyes met. The woman’s dropped,
self conscious, pleased.
“You really mean that?”
“On my soul, I do. ”
The most delicious softness was in
her voice:
“It makes me so proud and happy to
think I have convinced you. ”
There was a silence. She smoothed a
wrinkle in her suede glove. He twisted
' a button on his coat. Then she aroused
1 herself, with a little laugh, and extended
I her hand.
“Well, goodby, Mr. Everdene, and
once more, thank you.”
He pressed her fingers ever so lightly
, —her proselyte.
“Not ‘goooby, ’” he murmured. “Au
revoir.’’—Black and White.

Sh« Pleaded the Queen.
It is said that Miss Majendie, who
has just received the much coveted po
sition of maid of honor to Queen Vic
toria, owed her good luck to a mere
freak of magnetic attraction. The queen
saw her for the first time when she
came to sing at the little Sunday serv
ice arranged by Princess Beatrice at the
Villa Fabbricotti and was particularly
struck by her pleasant face and sweet
voice. It was with the utmost surprise
that the court circle as well as the
young lady herself learned of the hon
or designed for her.
THE HUSTLE'’ OF ROME, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 9 1894
MAGIC EXPLAINED.
THE STAR TRICKS OF HINDOO CON
JURERS MADE EASY.
The Mungo Trick Explained Kellar, the
Magician—lt I. the Same Which Globe
Trotter Steven. Claim. I« Miraculously
Performed hy Fogl Men.
The sleight of hand performances of
Mr. Maskelyne, a remarkably clever
juggler, have excited a great.deal of in
terest in London. Not only are his
tricks skillfully done, but his'txplana
tions of other tricks have attracted much
attention among a class of .men who
seldom visit the halls where feats-of this
sort are presented.
The Mail and Express recently pub
lished an article from the London .'Spec
tator in which the writer describes one
■or two tricks which he saw in India
and which mystified him greatly. Here
•Is one, which, by the way, is described
.by Thomas Stevens, the globe 'trotter,
Who says that the Yogi men, who per
form it, are aided by an occult force that
iihe world is as yet ignorant of.
A juggler placed a cloth over the pave
wrent of the street, and presently he
removed it, and there was a mango
gnawing between the stones. “The jug
’’ adds the writer, “one of the he
reditary caste, did undoubtedly make a
leaf spring out of the ground; did wake
it jjrow .into a dwarf mango, and did
hand ithe mango from it to be eaten. It
looked wonderful because of the appar
ent riaqplicity of the juggler, but he per
formed his feat in four proee*ses, and
between.each he shook out his chudder,
or muslin wrapper, so that it passed for
an instant between the spectators and
the plant The writer had no doubt
then and has no doubt now that this
was done not to conceal anything, but
to distract attention momentarily; that
the first leaf, the upgrowth of leaves,
the dwarf n»ngQ and the mango on it
were all of wax or other carefully made
imitation, and that the whole miracle
was marvelously rapid sleight of hand. ”
To Americans who are interested in
this sort of thing this mystery is almost
amusing. It was exposed several years
ago by Kellar, the prestidigitateur. Four
or five years ago Kellar publicly offered
$ 1,000 to anyone who would perform a
trick which he could not duplicate and
which he could npt prove to be done by
wholly human aids. A number of per
sons who had recently visited India im
mediately deluged him with descrip
tions of this and other specimens of
oriental jugglery. Os course as they
could not perform the trick themselves
they did not compete for his money offer,
and therefore they were not publicly
answered.
Kellar, however, gave me personally
a full explanation not only of these
tricks, but of several others which have
long baffled the cleverest of the occi
dental investigators. The magician has
spent more than 15 years of his profes
sional life in India and the far east, and
he has closely studied the tricks of the
native jugglers with more or less profit
to himself. This is how he explained
the mango or pineapple trick as nearly
as I can recall it:
“The first time I saw the mango
trick,” said he, “was in Bombay in
1879 or thereabouts, and the man who
did it was the most skillful conjurer 1
ever saw in India. Even after I had
learned the secret of his illusion I could
not help admiring its ingenuity and the
dexterity with which it was performed.
The juggler and his two comrades chose
a spot before the Prince of Wales’ stat
ue on the plaza. He first laid down a
bag on the hard ground and then drew
from it a large bandanna handkerchief.
Digging a small hole in the ground
with one finger, he buried a pineapple
and over this he placed his hand
kerchief. He carefully smoothed out
Abe cioeh, rubbing swiftly from left to
right. A/f-er this maneuver was ended
lid jnade several passes with his arms
over t£§ handkerchief, while his com
rades beat? judusttjously upon their
drums and blew Upon their pipes.
“Suddenly, to my surprise, I saw the
handkerchief begin to slowly rise in the
center and gently sway from side to side
as a plant were really sprouting
to life from tfre seed which he had
planted beneath the cloth. NVheiythe
handkerchief had jisen like, a tent to a
height of about 12 inches, the conjurer
stopped his incantations aud cautiously
lifted up the left hand corner of the
cover and peered beneath it Then,
plunging both hands underneath to the
accompaniment of loud and discordant
music, he threw aside the cloth and
showed a full grow n pineapple plant
‘ ‘This is the way he did the trick, as
he afterward admitted to me:
“tn smoothing out the cloth he reach
ed into the bag, the mouth of which
was conveniently placed near the hand
kerchief, and whisked out a hooded co
bra snake. The moment the /entile was
laid (town it began to coil. That made
the handkerchief rise. When it had
reached its full height, it? angry hiss
ing meanwhile being drowned by the
music of the assistants, the performer
looked under the cloth, taking care to
dyaw the gprner close to the mouth of
the bag'. Then he adroitly whisked out
a hollow pineapple from the bag under
neath the cloth. It Ayas now the work of
a minute only to force the snake into
the apple, close the aperture, and the
trick was done. ” —Benjamin Northrup
in New York Mail and Express.
Lace and Brocade.
If you have any treasured short
lengths of old brocade, you may produce
them now and make the fronts of one of
the long Louis Seize waistcoats of them.
And if you are happy enough to possess
old lace you can make them up en jabot
to wear with the same. It is to mount
the lace on bands of muslin, keeping the
folds quite soft and using as few stitches
as possible. In this way the tender sus
ceptibilities of the fabric are spared,
and when the jabot fashion is over and
done with the lace remains to be used
in some other way.—Fashion Journal
