THEY CALLED HIS HLTJIT.
Tho Conceited New Vork Drummer
Tnkcu Down a Peg or Two.
From tho Homo Magazine
A hnlf-dozen traveling men entered
the lobby of n western hotel together,
but the man with the silk tile nnd
patent leathers pushed his way right
up to the desk, registered as II. J.
Powell Smith. New York, and loudly
remarked to the clerk:
"I want the best bedroom In the
house; lirst floor, southern exposure."
"Yes, sir," replied tho clerk, and he
assigned him a room before any of the
other arrivals had yet registered.
At dinner tho New Yorker had his
bottle of wine, and when through he
stalked Into the ofllce with a gold
toothpick In his mouth, lit a Havana
and then dropped into one of the com
fortable rocking chairs.
"Who Is this fellow?" asked a gro
cery salesman.
"A drummer from Greater New
York," whs the clerk's answer.
"Why.I thought he wns a big East
ern capitalist."
"Well, anyone would think ns you
do. They don't grow any bigger In
this country."
"Only a common, every-day drum
mer, like myself!" said the grocery
mnn. "Well, I must find out what
firm he represents." And he did so
during tho evening.
That night after supper the New
Yorker again resumed his accustomed
rocker In the lobby, snapped his finger
for a bell boy, handed him a $5 bill,
asked him to step over to the cigar
stand and get three for a dollar.
Just then by previous nrrangement
between the groceryman nnd n mes
senger boy, tho latter entered with a
telegram and handed It to the owner of
the em th. It read:
"Rosensteln & Isaacs gone under for
JL'JO.OOtt"
That was the firm the fellow trav
eled for. He read the wire once more
and his face grew ghastly pale.
"What's the matter?" asked the
grocery man; "any bad news?"
Ho turned with a sickly smile; hand
ing over the message to his Interlocu
tor, he said, In n Bhocked voice:
"Read that; I'm ruined; I haven't
money enough to get back, nnd this is
my first trip out."
The boys who by this time
caught on to the play, tried to soothe
him ns best they could, but it was
no use, for he seemed to be utterly
crushed. At Inst the Joke had been
carried far enough, and the grocery
man called him to one side and told
him It wns all a hoax. The fresh
young man begged to have them nil
swear not to say any more about it.
They all ngreed if ho would set 'em up
to the. crowd; it was nil right, and he
assented. It might be stnted that dur
ing the balance of his sojourn the New
Yorker kept mighty quiet.

They were, 1 think, the happiest couple
It was ever my good fortuno to meet
Margaret and Paul Fischer.
They weie so completely absorbed in
each other that tney seldom took the
trouble to become aeqimlnted with btran
gers. not feeling tho need of companion
ship. But, as good luck would have It,
they did allow me to romo to see them,
and wfcen I had known them long enough
to dare to speak on personal mut
ters, I rerrarked upon tho perfect har
mony that existed between them. Then
Margaret told me their story; and this Is
the romance as she gave it to me:
"I will tell you my tide of tho story and
then Paul can tell you his.
"As you may have discovered, I havo
dabbled somewhat in occult matters. I
have always been a natural musician and
I play without dlfllculty any ploco of mu
sic which I may pick up, although I have
never taken a lesson or 'practiced' one
hour during my llfo time. When 1 was a
child I had only one playmatr he was a
little older than myself and I was satis
fied If I could hide away soma where and
wait for him to come. Tho peculiar part
of the matter was that no one else was
able to see him, and as for myself, I
never knew where he came from, nor did
I ever see him until I looked up suddenly
and found him bcsldo me. Anotfter pecu
liar fact was that he always curried an
odd Instrument, similar to a harp, and wo
would sit side by side for hours, he play
ing, I listening entranced, until suddenly
the music would cease and I would look up
to find tho player gone. Then I would go
Into tho houso nnd play the music over
again on tho piano. This went on for
years and peoplo consldeied me 'queer,' If
not quite crnzy.
"I never could talk with my playmate
because he used a language which I could
not understand. As I grew older I drifted
away from him. Other affairs filled my
mind and It was beldom I would havo a
vision In which the saino form always
appeared, but seeming to grow older even
as I was,
"I began to study ocult sciences when I
was about 18 years old. I attended spir
itualists' seances and finally took up tho
study of theosophy. Never, however, had
I received a so-called 'test,' and any de
ductions I made were of necessity found
ed upon the experiences of other people.
"One night, after I attended a meet
ing, I sat down by the table at home and,
Idly picking up a pencil, started to draw a
portrait I who had never In my life been
able to raw a stialght line. The picture
resulting represented a young man with
dark eyes and hair combed straight back
from a wide, high forehead. Tho features
were delicately molded and the mouth wa3
partially covered by a moustache." (Hero
sho looked ndmlrlngly at her husband and
then resumed the thread of her narrative).
"JIo seemed 23 or 21 years eld, and was
decidedly handi"otr.i'. Underneath the
portrait I was impresed to wrltoi "This is
Taul . You will soon see his face.' I
wns told soon afterward that Paul Kscher
wns a spiiit and was the same llttlo boy
with whom I had been acquainted in my
childhood. I was told also that he was
born In Al?ace-Lairnlne and had never
been outsldo of his own country. 1 tres
ured tho pcrtralt I had obtained, It had a.
great fascination for me, but ko much oc
cupied my thoughts that I lied no time,
as a rule, to think much of tho original.
Six years passed by and I founc' It neces
sary to o to a strange city. I reached
tho town early In tho morning and, hunt
ing up a boarding house at once, 1 settled
down for a good rest before commencing
tho business which had brought me to
the place.
"As I was going to dinner that night I
came face to face. In the Iill, with Paul.
I started and so did ho. T en with, 'I beg
your pardon, madam,' ho, stood aside to
allow mo to pass. I was too much dis.
turbed to foe able to eat much, and 1 felt
his eyes wero watching mo ull the time,
so I soon left tho table.
"In tho evening Mrs. Porter, the woman
nt whose hot'so I was Btuylng, knocked
nt my door and asked mo to eomt Into
the parlor. I hesitated, but went nnd was
Introduced to 'Paul FNchrr' tho man of
my dreams the man of tho portrait. I
recognized tho face, tho volte, the way in
which tho hair was anunged, In fact,
every detail corresponded with my pre
conceived Ideas of how ho would look.
Hut my head was In a whirl. My Paul
Fischer was supposed to bo a spirit, but
this Paul 'Fischer was decidedly matenul.
"It was Juat ono week before tho prob-
lem was solved I do not Intend 10 sclvo
It for you lnul will Uothat. To make
materH short, however, 1 will pay that I
found that he was my Paul Fischer. It
was JURt one month from the tlmo I met
him until wo were mirrlcd. On our wed
illntr day 1'aul brought out a portfolio
und nslW mo to look through It und tell
him what I thought of his draw'ngs. Tho
first sheet I picked up showed a portrait
of myself. I wua represented Mttlm at a
tablo Bkotchlng a man's head, '.id the
date was the same on which I had dono
my first and only drawing six years be
foie. Hut Paul mvibt tell you tho rebt."
"When I was a llttlo boy In the old
country (I was born In Alsace-Lorraine),
peoplo regarded me as being very 'pecu
liar.' I would wander on by myself ror
hours where no ono could find me, car
rying my harp along, nnd when I re
turned I would avo a. picture In my mind
of a little, brown-eyed, brown-haired girl,
who listened to my music and reproduced
everything which I played upon an Inbtru.
ment different from any I had ever seen.
I know now It was a piano, but then I
had no knowledge concerning It. Home
times I would have long fnlntlng spells,
and while I was unconscious would bab
ble away about the llttlo maid who could
not understand what I said, because sho
talked a different languaee from my own.
Finally It began to 'be whispered about
that I was nosressed of a devil and my
father was forced to send mo away In or
der to protect me.
"I camo to America -when I was 18 yeais
old, and, going to the far west, I amassed
qulto a fortune. I did not see tho friend
of my childhood bo frequently as I grow

older, because Increasing wealth brought
increasing cares and I had no time to
make tho customary visits. Still, onco
In awhile the old 'fainting spells' would
come over me and when I returned to
consciousness I would bring with me the
memory of a smiling face and gentle,
brown eyes a face that seemed to grow
older wlrti my Increasing years.
"One night I sat In my room late. As 1
supposed I fell asleep, but when I awak
ened I found before mo the portrait of a
young woman who was sitting beside a
tablo sketching, nnd the portrait sho had
finished was of myself, I put the picture
carefully away, taking It out at long In
terval's In order to familiarize myself wltn
tho features, for I felt that some time,
somewhere, I should meet her.
"Ono night about six months- ago I was
lato In leaving my ofllco and upon reach
ing my home I hurried down to tho dining
room. In the hall I camo face to face
with Margaret, tho friend of my child
hood, the sweetheart of my dreams. I
could not eat I was too excited and I
begged Mrs. Porter to call the newcomer
Into tho parlor to Introduce us. The lon
ger I talked with her the more convinced
I became that sho was the ono woman In
nil the world whom I could love. I was
curious to find outy whether she had any
conception of the peculiar circumstances
which drew me to her and I questioned
her adroitly In regard to tho matter.
"Then she, who had purzled her dear
llttlo head In vain over tho matter, told
mo ali her experience and when wo com
pared notes we decided that, as heaven
had meant 11s for each other from tho
beginning, there was no reason why wo
should wait for our happiness. 'So we
were married and lived happily ever af
ter,' as they say in tho fairy stories.
"Now. I myself do not pretend to give
an explanation of this, but Margaret, who
has studied theso matters closely, says
that my astral body must havo detached
itself from the material form and sped
across the sea to Join her. drawn by
bomo inexplicable, Invisible attraction.
That may bo tho case. If Margaret tays
so I am willing to accept it as trutn. nui
this I do know. She Is a dear, sweet llttlo

TIIU WAIIi OF AN OLD-TiailHiB
We used to havo old fashioned things,
like hominy and greens,
We Ubed to have Just common soup, mado
out of pork and bcaiiH.
Hut r.ow ll'a bouillon, consomme, and
things mado from a book,
And Pot au Feu und Julinnc, since my
daughter's learned to cook.
Wo used to have a piece of beef Just or
dinary meat.
And pickled ipls'o feet, sparerlbs, too, and
other thlncs to eat:
While now It's filet and ragout, and leg
of i-mtton braised.
And macaroni cu gratln, and sheep's head
Hollardalsed.
Tho good old things huve passed away,
In silent sad retreat;
Wo'vo lots of high falutln' things, but
nothing much to eat,
And while I never say a word, and al
ways pleatant look,
Vou bet I've had dyspepsia since my
daughter's learned to cook.
