THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
HIS QUEER CALLING.
"May-1 "k what line of business you wrre
engaged in nt that time!" mid one of
group, ndclreMing a dapper little gctitJpiuar
who had just narrated a rnther temarknblo
story of adventure.
"My occupation was never ofTicin.'.y
classified," replied the little ninn, smilingly,
"but I suppose 1 niiK'ht have hem firmed a
Urofossiotial vandalan expert defneer of
public and private propeTty."
"A what!" exclaimed the questioner in
amazement, and in response to a nmeral de
mand the dapper atranner pmceeded to ix
plain himself more ful.y. "I can bt mike
the matter clear," said he, "I y tellir? you
briefly how I came to invent the huinrss.
In the aummer of '1)2 I hnpprned to bp in a
certain large northern city, out of work and
badly in need of money. One of the local
inerchatita was flooding the place at the time
with nil aorta of advertixemcnta fur a new
thoe, which waa then a trnde novelty, unci
cjreing hia announcement at every hand I
conceived a bright idea.
"In front of a magnificent public library,
which was the pride of the city, waa a
ttntne of Slnkespeare, seated in a ehuir with
his legs crossed, lie wa suppo'c d to be in
iin attitude of reflection, but he wna also in
tlie attitude of a man trying on a new pair
of shoes. 'What will you fcive me,' I aktil
the enterprising merchant, 'if 1 put one of
your ahoea on Minkcepcare'a rained foot, an
other in hia hand and a banner on hia shoul
der proclaiming the merit- of the pooc.n?'
'I'll give you ?HX,' he whispered, 'but no
guarantee agint ljnching.' I tool; the con
tract, and next morning the whole city wvs
chant at what the new-papers called 'a
liendixh desecration of a noble work of art
(If course the merchant promptly denied all
knowledge of the nfTair, and the cxp'oit wna
generally attributed to hiking colli fe htii-(itsta-
'
"My scheme, in a few word," continued
the dapper man, "waa to put up ad vci fire
men t in itrange, unexpected and forbidden
plaeea, and the row that invariably indued
gave my patrons a specie of publ'city iliat
waa absolutely i.nicpie. They c-ould a:wa
stand from under by aimply denying ion
lu-etion with the affair, uud it wan then cer
tain to be act down to unknown practical
joker. In audi a business it waa, of coiiro,
impossible to lay drwn any fixed rules; the
woik in cadi case depended entirely upon
tireiliuatancca.
"Vmi may remember, for oxamp'e, th
terrilic uproar thr.t waa occasioned bv th
mysterious appearance of a bakirg powder
'ad on the marble floored rotunda of the
Ute house in one of the North Atlantic
rapitala. The facts, aa afterward developed
l y tnr-senate mved igatmg comm.: tee, were
very trange and pu.ziing. The rotunda had
been freshly acrubbed it st clued by an ole;
IriMirmin, who hail done a partieu ar.y neat
and thorough job, and dozens of people w ho
lusseil through it curing the next two days
testified thit the marble was absolutely
ttaiuleb. On the third morning, however
curious uarK spots negan to appear mid soon
If solved themselves into Inters. Tl:e-rev
blacker and blacker, and by roon the baking
powder 'ad' loomed out in all its glory, "
feet long and nine feet wide. To cirp the
climax it wa found that the discolota! ion
extended into the marble fully nn eighth of
an inch, and later on cost the state nearly
$'J,000 to liave it removed by a sand blast
The matter has aince been arranged with
the authoritiea, ao I don't mind telling you
that while the innocent old Irishman waa
scrubbing the hall he quiet Iv traced the let
trs in a colorless solution of nitrate of
silver. That chemical, as you probably
know, become black after being e:;xi?td to
the light for a certain length of lime. The
identity of the honest scrubber 1 will leave
you to imagine.
"Another coup that attracted wide atten
tion at the tune was the inexplicable pres
ence of a 00-foot striiimer Hying from the
binnacle of one of the tallest church spirts
in the United State nnd bearing the name
of a well known patent medicine. It was
discovered one bitter cold morning in Jan
uary and ereated profound amazement, for
the temperature stood at five degrees below
rero that day, and it was manifestly impos
sible for Miy human being to have sc aled the
sleet-coated spire. 1 he pinnacle waa ex
actly 1H0 feet above the pavement, and the
newspapers advanced all sorts of weird the
ories, including the use of kites and airship,
to explain how the streamer was attached
The congregation was furious, but it was im
possible to get the thing down until the fo
lowing spring, and it remained a standing
ad. for nearly 100 davs. The explanation
cf this singular occurrence was absurdly
simple. Vou see, everybody hud forgotten
about a humble steeple jack who had as
tended the spire, away back in the preceding
April, to regdd the metal work at thetii
Thia steeple-jack carried with him, under his
Mouse, a tightly rolled streamer i.nd a small
wooden box. lie attached both to the side
of the pinnacle and fastened down the
streamer with a bit of wire which passed
through a hcjle in the box. Inside the latter
was some simple mechanism, operated on
the thermostat principle, and so adjusted
that when the mercury in a snuul ther
inotiieter fell to five degrees below 7ero it
formed an electric connection and released
She wire. After these things were quietly
arranged, the vtec pie-jack regilded the top
came down, got his nav and disappeared
The rolled streamer and box were entirely
too small to be observed at that height, and
moreover, they were partly hidden by some
ornate scroll work. J here they rumum
unseen and unsuspected, until that bitttr
night in January, when the thermometer,
tor the first time in the year, fell low enough
to make th connection and release tl
fastening. A gale was tearing through the
upper air and the streamer instantly w hirled
nt to its full length, exactly aa the tightly
wadded color 'break from a masthead in
yacht race. They discovered the trick when
they removed the bunting, tint in the mean
while it was one of-the bij;geiit mysteries
the day.
The dauuer atranaer lit a fresh cigar and
for awhile silence reigned. Theu a miin
bom Chattanooga spoke up.
"I beg pardon," he said, "but it strikes
e as very er singular that 1 never heard
f any of those exploit before."
"l'ossibly you have forgotten them," re
fiied the dapper gentleman, pleasantly.
Hut that was the trouble about the w ork;
it lacked permanency there was nothing
- snduring in it; I wrote, so to speak, upon
water. Wherever I went I left behind me
trail of people with sandpaper and scrub
bing bruahe busily engaged in erasing my
finest athievoments. There was no hope
of coming back in after year with my
grandchildren and pointing out the land
cape and public edifice 1 had defaced. It
ws very discouraging," added the dapper
Kentleman, getting up, with a sigh, "and to
tell the truth that was 'he real reason why
I retired. Well, I will bid you good night.
' "That seems to be quite ft remarkable
man," said one of the group, as the stran
er disappeared in the directiou of t''c ele
vator car.
"L'm-m-m!" gruuted the gentleman from
Chsttanooga, "he i certaiuly quite

tempted to tfo himself into wilds ami
thickets let him read Mr. Huberts' "The
Heart of the Ancient Wood," just is
sued by Silver, Ilitrclet te & Co., of New
York. On the very first pajfe the sweet
calm of the forest steals over the rend
er. There is no desolation, for the
wood is "populous hi its reserve.
Kvery dell, every nook, every crevice is
instinct with life. I'.vcn the silence ii

Wood" und' Other Stories.)
alertly und mysteriously expectant.'
into the heart of this wood Kirstic
( raiy. with her little pirl, Miranda
poes to find a home and to escape the
of husv toiiirues. A savatTe
place for a home, these Cunadian
woods, especially for un unprotected
woman, but "Kirttie Cruijr's got grit
enough for ten men" and she proves It,
too.
The reader follows with close inter
est the education of the child, who
comes 011 f-ood terms with the shy ani
mals about her. Her pet is a great she
bear, thut hnd once rescued her from a
panther. As Thorsnn hud power over
the denizens of the wood, and even over
the fish of the stream, so this child
finds strange companions and a mar
velous control over them.
Love that never halts nt bolts or bars
finds his way into this ancient forest as
the child Miranda grows to woman
hood. Her lover is a young hunter and
he ant agonizes the beasts thut are so
friendly with Miranda. Naturally a
collision follows and this serves as a
plot for the story. The girl's love for
the man Is greater than her love for
animals and his love for her is greater
than his love for sport. Together they
leave the heart of the ancient wood.
One gets very clone to nature in this
prose poem. Evidently the author has
himself lived In the forest, where the
silence is audible. Like Henry .lames,
Howells and Stephen Crane, he hus an
eve for closest detail, an advantage to
the render, who may find in Mr. I!ob
ert far more thnn he Is likely to find
In the ancient wood, not because It la
not in the wood, but because, unlike Mr.
Koberts, he hns not the eyes to suelt.
