THE PLOT OF A PLAY. How Sardou Cams to Write "Let Pattet da Mouehe." Snrdou not working at n scenic mlnp tntlon of Voltnlru's "Cniidlde," nnd It hung 11 ru not bocuusc thero vtn no prospect of u dinner, but beeauso IiIh plpo wns empty mul lie hml not n penny wherewith to buy tobacco. Hud denly on opening n drawer of bin tnblo liu uttered a cry of Joy at the sight of live or six tickets of n wlno company which gave Its customers a voucher for 20 centimes for every boltlu pur chnacd. A quarter of nu hour nfter ward he was the happy possessor of h silver franc piece nnd souio sous be sides. Picking up n scrap of paper off the winded lloor of the tobacco shop, ho wns about to light his weed when tlio words "ilnrlo Iiurent" enught his oye. Tho "unconsidered trlllo" turned out to be the fragment of n letter front the well known actress to her son Charles. Snrdou put his lliul In his pocket, but on his way homo his plot weaving faculties, stimulated by tho fumes of the tobacco, at once re asserted themselves. "This is the Innocent letter of a mother to her boy," ho said to himself. "Supposing, however, It had been the letter of a woman to her lover nnd, falling by n similar accident Into the hands of the woman's husband, wish ing to light his cigar" Tho suggestion led to his play "I.es l'attcs do Moticlie." I.omlon Chron icle. A HUMAN GIBRALTAR. The Story Thit li Told of the English Colonel Ournaby. In tho biography of Colonel Fred Iturnaby there Is u characteristic story, told by his friend Lord lllnnlng, of that soldier of herculean frame nnd reckless courage: We were engaged In n football match on tho green Inside Windsor cavalry barracks, and the verandas were crowded with onlookers as the colonel, dressed for London In frock coat nnd tall hat, with n clgnr In his mouth, came out of tho olllccrs' quar ters nnd proceeded slowly across a corner of the ground, apparently ob livious of tho fact that a mulch was In progress at the time. At this moment our fullback, n gigantic Yorkshlreinaii named Hales, who must have weighed nearer llfteen than fourteen stone, charging Impi'liioiiily for tho ball, dashed full Into lluruaby. Tho Impact wns terrlllc, but while the Yorkshlre inaii, hurled backward by the shock ni though he had collided with n moun tain, lay gasping on tlio ground, neither Iturnaby's hat nor tint nnglo of his clgnr was In the smallest degree dis turbed. In fuel, he scarcely seemed to ronllxc that n collision had taken place. When ho did so ho removed his cigar from his mouth anil, with his pleasant smile, said, "Dear me, I do hope I nui not Interfering with the game." The shout of delight which went up from the verandas was n thing to remember. Studying, the Crowd. "Thero doesn't seem to be nny dif ferent between n crowded Inilti In tlio morning nnd n crowded train nt night, does Micro)" ipierleil a subway traveler of hi companion. "Hut I could distinguish one from the other even If I had no Idea of tho hours." "Ask tho guard)" "No. All you need to do Is to mens tiro tho Iiiij.t. of conversation.

An Unsocial Pedant, "At Trinity, Cambridge, tho great Dr. 'Whowell wns the Incarnation of masterful unsociability," says Mr. Tollemacho In Ids reminiscences. "A Trinity friend told mo In tho llftloi that WhoweH'w nvenlng parlies went by the iiiiino of 'perpendiculars' be cnuso the undergraduates were expect ed to remain standing nil tho time, though ho himself sat down whenever ho chose. It Is also related that, being shortsighted, bo Inspected each man In turn nt unpleasantly closo quarters, mid It was a high crime for any one to tipcak until ho was spoken to. On ono occasion under the trying scrutiny nn unwary freshman remarked that Iho went her was line.

One 8urprlse That Wat the Forerun ner of Another. That wns n good old comedy bishop who one fine day entered n large Jev elcr's establishment In Hegent street London, to make nn extensive purchaso of valuable presents. He selected thBm with great care ns regards their nrtlstlc value, but tpilte regardless of cost. Tho proprietor nnd his assist nnts buzzed round hls lordship. Tho selected valuables wcro packed In sep arato parcels ot his suggestion, neatly tied nnd sealed, nnd he lind Just taken n scat In tho private olllco of tlio pro prletor and was feeling In his pocket for his check book when two men, who had been peering In at tho glass door leading to tlio street, walked up tlio shop and stood behind tho bishop, They were plolnly dressed, sharp look lug men and thus bluntly addressed tho Jeweler: "Whnt has this man been ordering?' The bishop looked up, saw tho men turned pale, clutched the sides of tho chair, dropped his glasses and looked as If ho would bolt. Heforo ho could stir, however, the handcuffs were on his wrists, "Hlshon. Indecdl" said ono of tho men. "lie wns n colonel yesterday, Hero, 'bishop,' come nlong to Vino street. 'Illation.' Indeed! I In, ha! Well, that's a good 'unt" And, turn tug to the nstonlshed Jeweler, ho con tlnucd: "Just copped him In time, sir lucky for you.

Without n word tho "bishop" fol lowed the detectives Into a cnb, nnd nil three got In ns tho nsststnnt enmo out with the valuables "Here," said one of tho detectives through tho window, "ploco thoso In here- they will bo sofcr-nnd you get on tho top with the driver." It was not far to Vine street: but, ns usual, tho tralllc was congested In Ox ford circus, nnd tho cnb had to halt occasionally. It was, however, soon nt the police station.

Coming events cast their shadows be fore them. The writer Is led to be lieve this because several Incidents In tho lives of his parents corroborate Iho theory that presentiments of good nnd evil do conio to persons unawares I will mention two of them. in tho summer of 187- my father lute nt night was returning to his farm from the little town of Million. Ho hud si ay ed unusually late. When he reached the farm nil wns milot. Ite moving the harness from his horse, ho proceeded to tho carriage houso and hung It In Its place, Ho cnino out mid closed the door. Am he did so ho heard tho ha mens full, It was very dark. He went back Into the Iioiino and found tho harness still hang tug In Its place. Tho same occurrence took place again, lie went back ngaln nnd found It In Its place. When the third ttmo ho heurd tho noiind of falling harucsH. ho did not go back. Keveral weeks Inter tils barn burned, ami It happened that tho sumo liar uess was In tho barn loft, n valuable ct. He nttciupttd to save It. Tho staircase burned behind him, uud ho wns compelled to Jump fur his Ufa from a window. His previous expert eiico en mo to him vividly. Ho saved tlio harness, but nt the risk of his life, Another vivid Incident I recall wns my mother sitting by tho flro with n sick baby. Tho iiursu was present, too, and both wore wide nwako.

A writer In the Pnrls Temps tells n story of tho Frcuch ndmlrnl Uupetlt-Thounrs. who hnd been intrusted with the mission of cxnctltig reparation from nu African bey who had Insulted a French consul As Dupetlt-Thouars' demands were supported by tho forclblo nrgumeiit of londed cannon, tho boy acknowledged thnt ho hnd been too hnsty nnd prof fcred profuse npologlcs. jc even In vited tho ndmlrnl to his tnblo and hnd a sumptuous repast prepared for tils guest. The consul warned tho admiral to bo on his guard. "Tho bey Is Inclined to bo malicious," said he, "and when ho strokes his beard nnd smiles you mny bo sure thnt ho Is concocting somo mischief." "Wo shall sec," wns Dupetlt-Thouars' reply. Ho reached tho bey's palace In good time. Profuso compliments nnd sola tntlons wero exchnnged. All nt once tho admlrnl's foot met somo soft, hnlry substnnco lying on tho carpet un der the table. Ho bent down nnd saw a hugo Hon showing his formidable teeth. Tho bey smiled nnd stroked his beard Dupctlt-Thounrs did not wlnco, but cnllcd bis dragoman. "My pistols," wns nil he snld Tho servant saluted, retired nnd brought back n pair of pistols on a silver trny. Tho ndmlrnl took thctn nnd placed them on tho tnblo beforo li I tu. Hut tho bey, still smiling, contln lied to stroke his patriarchal beard. "Tell tho commander," ho snld to tho drngomnn, "thnt If thoso pistols are for tho purpose of blowing out my lion's brains they nro qulto Insufficient nnd perfectly useless." Then, llko n skilled fencer counter ing his opponent's thrust, nfter tho boy's Ironical advlco had boon trans lated Dupotlt-TlioitarM replied: "Tell hid highness thnt my pistols nro tint tluirn In 1(111 Ilia Hull, lllll In lllmtM Ills own brains out at tho Ilrst move- auk ....

At n word from tho bey the lion slowly and heavily left tho room, like nn obedient dog. No Mora CradUs. "A crndlol" snld tho snlesmnn. "Oh. not You don't want a cradle." He smiled.
