A HUGO TREASURE, L lj 11 ---iit I it ll
ataaaaaee f lk Fnasowa Writer' Iaa
Many Telunble relics that of late
years have found their way Into the
houses of the wealthy and adorn the
nop windows of the antique dealers
are not only Interesting from their
rarity or association, but alto In the
manner In which they come Into the
bands of the dealer. The following
story told by a dealer may Illustrate
this fact and tell how a priceless relic
cams near to being thrown away:
Some years ago, wbeu staying In tht
Bttle Island of tJuerasey, In the Eng
lish channel, which for so many years
was the residence of Victor Hugo dur
ing his exile from France, I was go
ing through one of the old streets and
strayed Into a secondhsnd furniture
store on the chance of finding some
thing that might be interesting. Among
several odd pieces I found the bottom
ef an old Chippendale dressing mirror.
talons the mirror, the center of which
had been hollowed out to form an
tnlstand.
The oddness of the piece attracted
aoy attention and upon questioning the
dealer be Informed me that K was a
part of a Jot of rubbish that bad been
thrown out of HaatertUe Hooae, wbera
Ylctor Husjo bad Mrsd sad which la
etui preferred intact by bis family
Just as be left It npoa bit return to
France. Tbls old bouse la fall ef costly
antique treasures with wbJda the an
tbor tored to surround himself, and tb
tatter an apptteaOoa to the caretaker
Is taaay shown erer the place and 1
tbe table and bed need by bin la bis
aM study at tbe top of tbe boos la
wnict be wrote so many of bis weeks
and watched tbe shores ef bis betored
country, from which be thought him
self forerer an exile.
Tbls boose and Its treasures being
so carefully guarded by tbe descend
ants of Victor Hugo, I wondered bow
a piece Bke tbe Inkstand could bare
been thrown away and hesitated to
belters that tt really bad come from
where the dealer said It did, the price
asked for It being bnt a few francs.
I decided to think tt orer before pur
chasing, and m a few dsys railed
around again. Upon Inquiring for the
Inkstand, the dealer (aid, with many
apologies, that 1 was too late, and ex
plained matters as best be could. Dur
ing the summer months the Hugo fam
ily pay a rlslt to the island a few
weeks, and prior to their arrlrsl the
bouse la thoroughly cleaned, etc. A
new maid, seeing an old box, as she
thought, threw It away with the rub
bish, and It was sold by a junk man
to tbe dealer. A few days after my
rlslt to him M. Georges and Mile.
Jeanne Hugo, grandchildren of the
author, strolled Into the same store,
and, looking around, espied the Ink
stand. They Immediately Inquired as
to bow It came Into his possession,
and after telling them the particulars
they Informed him that It was sn Im
preVtoed Inkstand that Victor lingo
bad used for many years.
perhaps the most successful song of
modern times Is "The Lost Chord."
whose sale In Great Britain baa ex-1
cesded 250.000 copies. The story of Its
composition, aa told by Mr. Wllleby
&i bis "Master of English Muilc," II
tartrates that In art, aa in statesman
lip, success came to those
Who knew th seasons when to talc
Caseation by tb hand.
For nearly three weeks Arthur Sey
mour Bullirsn hud watched by the bed
stte of a dying brother. One night,
when tbe end was not far off and bis
brother wss sleeping, he chanced to
come across some verse of Adelaide
Procter's which fle years before be
bad tried In rain to set to music.
In the silence of that night watch be
lead them orer again and almost In
stantly their musical expression was
conceived. A strsy sheet of music
paper was at hand and he began to
write. The music grew and be worked
en, delighted to be helped while away
tbe hours of watching. Aa be pro
gressed he felt sure the music was
what be bad sought for and failed to
find on the occasion of his first attempt
to set the words. In a short time It
was complete and not long after In the
publisher's hands.
IV'oaldnl Take It Oat U Trad.
A Welshman sued a fellow country
man some time since for a certain
amount of money owing to blm. Tbe
debtor repeatedly offered to take the
debt out In trade, but this offer did not
seem at all to suit the taste of the
creditor. At last the Judge asked the
plaintiff the reason for bis unwilling
ness to accept the debtor's offer to
work off the debt"
Hta reply was, "Well, you see, your
