9he srent 'tipera Mouse Meldup.
The Ohktree Opera House was un
usually crowded. The people of Oak
tree are a drama loving community,
and the Watson-Duvul Double Star
combination was giving “Hamlet.”
The manager estimated that there was
at least SSOO in the house, his prosaic
way of summing up the value of the
audience from the box office point of
view. There was a good deal more
than SSOO in the house from the prac
tical financial view of Gentleman
George, known in the adjacent moun
tains, where be made his headquar
ters, ns the leader of the Ked Caps.
Gentleman George had a reputation
that branched out into several of tile
adjoining states. His methods of brig
andage were more novel than the un
originality of bis sobriquet would lead
you to believe; but, then, lie was not
responsible for the adjective.
Gentleman George visited Ooktree
occasionally, but n discreet population
refused to recognise him, and the au
thorities were conveniently unaware
of Ills Identity; hence It was quite in
order, as with other personages, that
he should attend the performance at
the opera house incog.
The curtain had fallen on the second
act and the audience was for settling
Itself back Into its seats when a tall,
boarded, distinguished looking gentle
man In evening dress appeared before
the curtain and made n sign to the au
dience, begging their attention. The
audience craned forward in their seats.
The man raised an Impressive band
and began:
“Ladles and gentlemen, I trust that I
shall have your undivided attention.
We are about this evening to vary the
programme slightly and shall, with
your kind indulgence, offer a little
comedy, part of whose action will take
place ill the body of the house. 1 think
It well to warn you beforehand that It
would be best for you to keep your
seats. If you obey tills injunction, you
will lie in no danger whatever, but
should you become restive serious ac
cidents may happen.
“Now let me add that it will be im
possible for a single person to leave the
theater until the finish of the little
comedy. If- don’t rise from your scats,
please -you will look toward the exits
you will see that they are carefully
guarded.”
Eyes were instantly turned to the
doors. At each door on the two tiers
that included floor and balcony ol’ (lie
little theater stood a resolute looking
man holding a brace of revolvers and
wearing a rod cap. A tendency to
scream on the part of the women was
repressed by (lie Impressive hand of
the man on the stage, who had by tills
time also donned a red cap.
“No danger, friends,” lie called out in
an amiable voice. “Allow me to Intro
duce myself: 1 am Gentleman George,
and you know my reputation. If you
are reasonable, you will not be touched
that Is to say, you will only he
touched mildly, for what valuables you
may happen to have upon yuir.- The
good people behind the scenes are safe
in the hands of my comrades. All com
munication with the outside is cut off.
Every door is guarded. There is not a
head in this house that is not covered
with a Ked Gap gun. As long us you
sit still you are in no danger, hut the
moment you try to get gay or stow
away any of your' goods or put us to
any trouble you will hear”—
The ominous elipsls at the end of the
last sentence had all Its Intended effect
“Now that we understand each oth
er,” continued the speaker, “our col
lectors will pass among you, and I
trust you will remember that their
time is valuable and cannot he wasted
in disputes. In the meantime there is
no reason why the music should not
continue. If you please, Mr. Professor,
strike up.”
To the somewhat tremulous music
of the piano three men moved sys
tematically through the lower floor of
Hhe theater, each one carrying slung
over his shoulder a large leather bag
such as is carried by postmen, while
three others similarly equipped went
at the same time through the balcony.
“Ladies may keep their wedding
rings,” called out the chief robber,
who shouted out from time to time or
ders to his men and to the audience
from the stage.
“Please, sir, may I keep this? It was
my mother’s,” said a young girl in a
tremulous voice from the balcony us
she held up a small brooch In her hand
for Gentleman George to see.
“Certainly, my child. Jim, see that
the young lady keeps her brooch.”
Presently requests of various kinds
began to come from all parts of the
house. In some cases the requests
were granted Immediately, others as
curtly refused and still others compro
mised. Some citizens were allowed to
keep trinkets they valued by giving an
“I. O. U." for their value. This unex
pected turn to the proceedings gave the
affair a flavor of the auction room, and
In the excitement, coupled with peeps
into the heart secrets o£ ofhers, the
women forgot In a great measure their
fright. This result was greatly con
tributed to by the good natured way in
which the thieves did their robbing.
“Now, my friends,” said Gentleman
George after a pause, “everything,
seems to be moving serenely, and while:
the rest of the collection is being made,
witiryour kind permissiotiTT'wilT eii :
deavor to entertain you with a little
song. Can you accompany me In ‘The
Suwanee River,’ professor?”
“Certainly, sir.”
“If you please, then.”
In a sweet, rich tenor voice the
brigand began the old song. The audi
ence listened in amazement and as he
finished the first verse tilled the house
with genuine applause.
By the time the song was finished
the collectors had completed their
work, and only the guards on the doors
remained. The leader again raised Ills
hand for silence.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” lie said, “1
thank you for your kind attention. Our
little comedy lias passed off successful
ly, and now before we wind up let me
give you a few final instructions. Our
guards arc stil! outside the various
doors and shall remain there until we
have had a good start. That will be,
let us say, fifteen minutes. Any one
who attempts to leave before that time
will be shot dead at the door, and you
know I have a habit of keeping my
word. To simplify matters I intend to
place this alarm clock”—here he held
up an alarm clock which was handed
to him from the wings to the view of
the audience—“hero on tills table. It
is set to go off at 11 o’clock. Don’t
leave your scats until you hear It. If
you do”—
Before the sentence was finished
Gentleman George had vanished.
The people in the house looked at one
another wonderlngly. No one dared ‘o
he the first to tempt fate by gelling up
and leaving the theater. Yet each man
there believed that ttie threat was a
“bluff,” intended to give the robbers a
chance to get safely away. They were
disinclined, however, to put their belief
to the test, and no one stirred. While
matters were still In this Indetermi
nate state n piercing cry of "Fire!”
rang out throughout the house and
was Immediately taken up on several
sides.
The malingers of the theater nt this
outcry rushed on the stage and shouted
words meant to he calming to the audi
ence. They succeeded In a measure in
allaying the panic which was begin
ning to get under way, but many peo
ple, overwrought by (he evening's hap
penings, rushed from the theater out
Into the street. Then it was discovered
conclusively that there was no fire, but
that the scare raised by the cry had
added to the start already gained by
Gentleman George and his hand.
By noon on the day following the
sheriff was ready to start for the
haunts of Gentleman George with a
strong posse, when the mayor sent for
him and read this letter, found on Ids
doorstep that morning:
Dear Mr. Mayor—A dastardly outrage
has been perpetrated on iny good name
and Incidentally on the people of you.'
city by the ruffians who held up the
Opera House last night. The person call
ing himself Gentleman George was oidy
an Impersonator. 1 believe I know the
scoundrel, and by the time you receive
this myself and a few trusty comrades
will be on his trail. The good citizens of
Oaktroe cannot ho more grieved than I
am over the regrettable oeeurrence of
last evening. To show you that I was not
the man who held up the Opera House I
Inclose you my latest photograph, made
in Han Francisco. You can depend upon
it that the evildoers of last night will be
brought to justice. Yours in good faith,
GENTLEMAN GEORGE.
The sheriff did not like the cool, im
pertinent tone of the letter and thought
that, owing to his long immunity, Gen
tleman George was inclined to jest
with the township. The mayor thought
differently. It was, lie said, a very
courteous note, and ho could not see
that It in any way reflected on the
town. Sides were taken, and the next
election was fought out largely on the
question of the good faith or other
wise of Gentleman George. Though
the election went iu favor of the may
or and the upholders of Gentleman
George, to this day it has not been de
termined whether or not it was that
polished bandit who had held up the
Opera House.
Itnral Courting.
On the shores of the Moray firth—the
spot: need not he more specifically lo
calized—there Is a flourishing little vil
lage of some 1,400 inhabitants, con
sisting chiefly of fisher folk. The young
man and maiden do not court in the
orthodox fashion. Their method Is
much more prosaic, and what is char
acteristic of one case may generally he
accepted as characteristic of them all.
There is of course an occasional in
stance of genuine old fashioned court
ship, but that is a rather rare excep
tion.
“Mother,” said one young man on his
return from a successful herring fish
ing, “I’m goan to get merrid.” “Wecl,
Jeems, a’ think ye sli'd just gang an
ask yer cousin Maraek.” And as he
had no particular preference, be went
straight away to ask her.
“Wull ye tak me, Maraek?” was the
brusque and businesslike query which
he put to the young woman In the
presence of her sister Bella.
But Mary had promised her hand to
another that same evening. "I canna
tak ye, Jeems,” was her reply, and
then, turning to her sister, “Tak ye Mm,
Beliak.” And the sister took him.—
