I, of course, alone knew of the two ten and two live pound notes thati had given my friend only a few hours before. The commotion horror, and excitement which pre- vailed in the town can be easily imagined, as may also my feelings, EVerylhing possible, under tho. cir- Cumslanccs, Was done. The police were set onlhc alert. and by the evening they had gained some- thing like a clue of the discovery ofllic murderer, but it consisted merely in the absence from his post of the roaster-carpenter of the theatre. It turned out that this man had only recently been taken on to the establishment. He had the reputation of being a wry clever stage mucliinest and eon- TH E triver oftrup effects, but he did not bear the best. of characters; in- dced it was well known that he had lost several good berths through his dangerous carelessness, having been the cause by it of many a sail accident in panto'nime time. More- over he was a drunkard, given to gambling and betting, and fre- quently had stood in, as the slang goes. in divers petty and discredi- able cardâ€"playing transactions. Within the last month the discovâ€" cry of something of this kind oblig- ed him suddenly to leave a. large northern metropolis. lIis known ability in his calling, however, was sufficient to gain for him an en- gagement at Swelborn’, tiic liberal i‘rianagcnient there being ever ready the bills frequently stated, to pro- cure the best available talent, rcâ€" gardless of expense. It now up pearcd that this man had never been seen or heard ofat his lodg- ings since he left the theatre on the night ofllulierton‘s murder, and the stageâ€"doorkceper stated that he was the last person to leave the place. A description of him. and an offer of a large reward for his apprehension, was sent all over the kingdom. The efficiency of the detective service in those days had not reached its present pitch of ex- cellence, and many months elapsed before the fellow was taken, which fact was not made known to me until a considerable time after. may be imagined, I had long ere that returned to London, and the affair, even in Swelhoro’ liad pass- ed offas a nine days’ wonder. The man was arraigned, however, upon the charge of murder, btit the evi- dence for the presecution utterly broke down. Indeed there was :none save the. suspicions circum- stance of his mysterious disappear- ance at the time of the Iragedy. This be accounted for easily, by an assertion that he got drunk; and in one of his habitual fits of reck- lessness went straight off to some race~meeting in the midlantl coun- ties, whither he asserted. lie walk- on reasonable terms. led.

Slight suspicion was all he had to contend with ;, and country justices did not even’ deem it a case to have a,jury; so the fellow was once more let loose upon the world. Thus all hope of clearing up the mystery ended. I had told everything I knew at the inquest; and when the circum- stances under which I and my poor friend had parted are remembered, it Will be evident that the murder could not have been laid to any- onc's charge witliout'furtlier proof, the obtaining of which seemed irri- posSible. I threw a certain 'Iight upon the motive for the deed, but as I could not give the numbers of the notes that went for nothing, It is true, 1 then remembered the con- versation which I heard between two men respecting the pavment of a debt. one of whom was doubtless the fellow in question. This, how- ever, I could not swear to, for I had never seen him. Strong, also, as was the IIkGIIIl()Od‘ of this same man being the rascal who had emerged from the scene door just after I had given Hallerton the money, and who probably saw me do So, it proved nothing, for I could not identify that roan with the one- wlio IltltI been pressed for payment in the conversation referred to. Again, had it been possible for me to do all this, it would have been no evidence. ' So, as I have said, the sad event died out of men’s minds, and pass- ed away into one of those many undiscovered murders, only half perhaps of which number are ever heard of at all-ever heard of, at least as murders. Not so. however, was it to my mind--not to the was it the .mere removal of a poor country player from this world's stage. The inimic drama had not lost much, butl l 2:1 host an affec- ., 1? RIDAY, JANUARY 10, 18693. ,for more, as I was quisite. Indeed, there was no time prevented by various arrangements from reacli~ ingFerraspool until Within a few hours of the rising of the curtain. I wentstraight to my dressing-room at the theatre, and long before there was any occasion for it I made my dresser prepare everything for me. Somehow. I was unusually nervous Iliad never played before this au- dience; and though conscious of being quite safe as to my success. I experienced a certain disquiet which was inexplicable. The pub- lic are apt to imagine that a suc- cessful veteran of the stage can know nothing of such discomfort; but they are quite wrong. I think I am safe in saying that, amongst all our best actors, there is no com- moner sensation than nervousness, especially on the occasion of first uppearanecs, or in new parts. Still my present state was hardly wai- ranted by the surrounding circum~ stances. The piece in question was a modern comedy, the dress that oftwenly years ago. Tight gaiterâ€"fitling trousers with straps. showing only the tip and heel of a varnished \Vellington-boot, frock coat with closemade sleeves butâ€" toned at the wrist, where the shirt 0qu overlapped them ; whilst :1 hiin black satin stock, will] it nor- genus (Ii-splay ofit adorned by pins and chains to match, backed up an opcn‘frontcd white waistcoat, \Vllll a thin ridge of a. crimson under one just peeping out between the. satin and the jane. A small sharp- pointed upright shirt collar. a clean shaven chin and upper lip, witlr the motion chop wliiskerllien in vogue. a rather long head of hair, parted very much on one side, and highly suggestive of the barber’s block, formed an appropriate apex to this relic ofthe dark ages of morning costume. Such was the dress which I noticed attire time Hull- tionale and truc-heaifet rien ; ea 0n la so r git y ~copied from and it was not likely I should re- turn from my trip to Swellboro’ the same maul had been. Any- thing like forgetfulness of his loss, and the sad manner of it, were out oftlie question. Minglcd with the sorrow- that hung ove r file from this period ofrny life was a strong desire to bring the murderer to jus- IICE‘. There seemed to berm way by which I could accomplish this; yet, despite my misgivings, an in ward conviction often intruded Itâ€" self upon rue that I should sortie day or other prove the instrument v of retribution. The money I had Cause indirectly ofbis death; and I never abandoned the hope that, as. through an act of mine he had lost his life, so also by me would his death he avenged. A sound, an odour in the air, a relic of a dress, who has not felt the rnllueuce of any or one of such Il'lflt‘s. in recalling a whole train of thought and circumstances long since passed and gone! All is brought back vividly before us,and i we feel as if we were again going throuin the time and condition ;l knowing, nevertheless. that it has happened before, yet feeling that it muslraiber have been in another world, or in our (beams, that we l were chief movers in the scene. I first realized this mysterious kind! of feeling some nine months after the events inst recorded had hep- 1 period, and whilst I was fulfilling, an engagement at the large northern l town of Ferraspooi. In making my arrangements with the manager, it was decided that I should got tlireugliaround of my principle parts, one of which was the identi- cal role which poor Ilallerton had been playing at Swollboro’ at the, time I recorded in criticism on his. acting. [had not appeared in it since. but when the name of thei piece was mentioned, the sensa-i lions hinted at above crept over me iii all their subtle influence. 1 would willing have escaped from playing it altogether, and even made a feeble effort to get out of it; but the manager calculated on its being one of his trump cards. and refused to listen to any proposal for its withdrawal. Moreover, it was settled tliatl was to open my engagement will] it. The piece had been frequently done at the Ferraspool Theatre, and as my presence in my original part was the only novelty, no Inllrebearsal was considered no cossarynan hour or two’s coach- ing of those concerned in my prinâ€" jusl what he won or whether it was done as mine, and which made our personâ€" al reserriblanee more absurb per- haps than it had ever been before. Miles my loquaeious dresser. as he one by one produced these different articles of attire, was good enough to say, ‘ I am glad to see these things in Use again, sir; it is a long time since you played captain 'I‘hcodorcâ€"â€"morc than a year, I think. Did not somebody tell me they were doing this piece at Swel- boro’ WIZGH Mr. Hallerlon was murdered I I heard that this wasllie last part he played, poor gentle- man Iâ€"not that he ever could play it, though he would look it well enough, because he would look ex- actly like you. [never saw liim in it, I am happy to say, but I know "’ "n I know to ILA uu. a t how he’d have spoken to those ,lincs, beginning “ Lady Isabel. I swear to you, since we parted in the crush room that rightâ€"” And then Miles favored me, as was his want, with a long quotation from my part. Whether this habit had arisen from a latent idea, which he was known to possess, that if he had chosen he could have start- led the town by liistrionic powers, an act ofkindncsslobrosli up my me- iiiory, I never clearly knew. but certain it was that he never dross- ed me without quoting some im- portant speech from my role. what- ever it was. This habit often tickl- ed me, but on the present. occasion I was scarcely in the mood to be aroused by it; for as the familiar words struck on my ear, the whole fatal miserable time at Swolboro' Cllllle back forcibly, tangibly almost to mv mind. I had done little more than glance at my cues, fool- ing pretty safe as to the words. and being glad to aVoid their repetition as much as possible. So [stopped Miles rather abruptly ; yt‘t as I did! so a certain fascination took poss- esston of me. and I irresistibly thought what a close imitation I could give of Richard in this part ifl chose. IIis Voice, his stifled: manner, his iniirobilc face,all worn at my command. As I contempâ€" lated my make up, and involnn tarily assumed his expression, the likeness in the lookingâ€"glass was so startling that. I was tempted. to Mile‘s infinite delight. to give a little imitation of my friend. VVon- derfull exclaimed Miles; perfectâ€" ly wonderful; it is the most extra- ordinary thingr I ever saw! Do, pray do a bit more of it. sir; try his exit at the end of the fourth act. And I was compelled, it seemed “7110 to N0. 495. I er, to do as he requeste I. Bless my heart sir, he Went on, why dont yougive an entertainment like old Mathews did? You would make three times the money if you had it all to yourself. Of all the many imitations I ever saw, this is the finest. Even the deep sense of re- gret I felt for my friend’s fate over. .ruled by my inborn turn for mimi- cry, and except for the difficulty I have always had in curbing this power. sucha proceeding would have appeared heartless in the 'ex- treine. But, indeed, I must say I was myself conscious that the imi- tation was marvellously close; and I continued now, perhaps but of gi'alificutions to a sort; of vanity, walking up and down the room, repeating the part on and on, until my own voice sounded to myself like IIalIertou’s, and in my mind’s eye I actually saw him, as I had done the night I went into the front at Swelboro’. A knock at the door, and the words “ Overlure’s on, sir. restored me but partially to qmysclf. and do what I would. I enuld not throw of an irresistible notion which seemed to be gaining upon me, that with a very little tempting I should play the part right through with an imitation of, Hallerton. Confound it! I thought this will never do‘, but the absurdity poss‘ essed Inc, and I walked down stairs to the promptor’s call exact- ly as llullerlon would have done. Just as I was entering the green- room, a carpenter, with a some- what unsteady gait, was backing out from a recess, or scene-dock, with a heavy piece of scenery, and, at the very moment I was turning into the doorway, ran right up against me. I in be very measured language, cursed him for a block- liead. He turned, with a half-sort of apology on his lips. As he did so, the most curious sensation I had every experienced ran through my brain. In an instant, stroneg im- pressed as I then was with the re- collection of poor IIallcrlon, I re- membered the man’s faceâ€"the mas- ter-carpenter of Swelboro’ lâ€"clear, defined, unmistakable, not a doubt ofil; yes‘ the fellow was before me, looking exactly as when he emerged from the scene-door, directly after I gave the packet of notes to Richard. Like a flash of electricity it all passed through my mind; with it, and as rapidly. came an unsweivnig conv1clion that I stood face to face with Hall- orlon’s murderer! More rapidly than it is possible to describe, and in the hundredth part of the time it takes me to tell it, I settled what to do; for not less impressed by me did this man seem than I by Iiiin, He grew deadly pale; his eyes, already swollen and blood- sliel. now almost started out of his head, as, throwing his hands up into the air, he cried. My God I a ghost I With a tight grasp. l seiz- ed him by the throat, and brought him on his knees. You ruflianl l exclaimed. closely continuing my Ilallerlon imitation, you thought you had done for me, did you .7 but you see I am alive and strong enough to transport; you for life. Be thankful that I did not die. and» instantly confess your guilt. I am no ghost as you shall find. And when you took the £30 from my pockets in the brickflelds by Swell briro’ Common. you might well have thought, from the blow vou dealt, me, that it was not likely I should trouble you again; but here I am, and you shall pay dearly for your COILIvbIUOIIBd atrocity! As I dclivored these words in a pomp- ous theatrical tone, pi‘eeisely simi- lar to that which I had 0f1c-n heard my old friend use upon the stage when bringing an oflendcr to Jus- tice. I pulled the fellow into the green-room, where great commo- tion was reigning. Look at this scoundrcl, ladies and gentleman. I went on; you all reri'icinhcr how. one night last year. at Swelboro. l Richard llullerton, was fouily robbed and nearly murdered. on my way home from the lieatro; how for months I_ lay at death’s door, most people supposing l was dead; how, after much care and surgical skill, l recovered, to be here once more amongst you; and! how I swore, sooner or later to bring the assassin to Justice. Falel this night has helped me, and this villain here shall soon have a pair of handcuffs on him, for it is he to whom I owe all my sufliei‘ing. llcar him now ladies and gentle- , occasion. confess that he is the CUIPTII.‘- Admit it you thief, said I... shaking the breath ‘nearly out of his body; as you hope for mercy hereafter, a’lmit it! The poor trembling wretch was paralysed by fear. Also I could tell he was slightly the worse for drink; and now, as forced him to the all-important point,it was with difficulty he could articulate a syllable. Nevertheless he managed to stammar forth, loud enough for all in the room ‘to hear, ‘ Yes, it’s true, it’s all true; but I' didn’t go to murder ye; I never meant that, only ye fought so gallua hard, I thought I wouldn't get of} clear, but I never meant to murder ye, so help me] He was a pill, able sight, and even now scarcely seemed to believe, though my grip was pretty hard on him, that I was not an apparition rather than flesh and blood. A maudlin condition brought on by drink doubtless favoured this opinion, and conduc- cd not a little to the facility with which I extracted his confession. Excited and earnest ofpurpose as I. then was, serious as the issue at stake had also become. I was not unmindful ofthe mingling with it all of a certain comically. As I continued my imitative tone in a raised voice, many of the people then in tlic green-room who had known and acted with Hallerton. possibly in the sum". piece, seemed as equally sceptical with regard to my subsiantiality as the malefactor then in triv power. A! a glance I saw some of the ladies shrink back from me, whilst one or two of the men looked dazed and confounded. Prolonging the illusion, therefore. yet a little, a policeman was sent for, and I then and there gave the carpenter in charge for robbery and attempt to murder. He was com scqucntly taken of} by the constable With his conviction of a resurrec- tion undisturbed. I had but a short time then fortlic full explanation of this sensation «lrama of real life in which I had been playing in earnest behind the scene. The overture had been twice played, and the audience were beginning to manifest considerable impali. encc. Little conscmus were 'thev how much more exciting and serious a performance had jast been euacledintlie rear of that green curtain than they would witness upon its rising for their edification.
