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.— Chambers’ Journal.
