OUR SHORT STORY. I A DOUBLE LIFE. Wilson was a clever man; one of those I people who stand head and shoulders above their neighbours, both intellectually and morally. Everybody respected Wilson, and Wilson respected himself. When Wilson ex- pressed an opinion, his friends generally adopted it and made it their own. When Wilson took an affair in hand, it was regarded as settled- He was one of those clear-headed, strong-willed people, round whom the smaller atoms of humanity naturally gather. And the natural result of Wilson's superior qualities was that he got himself into a com- plicated and utterly unreasonable muddle which an ordinary man would have missed. That* is nearly always the way with your really clever men. They splash their clever- ness about too freely. Wilson was prosperous. He began life modestly in a. tiny grocer's shop in an un- known suburb. The grocer's shop expanded into a "store" as the suburb expanded into a town. Wilson opened branches, pushed his business, shut up his rivals, and made a fortune. Then he turned the affair into an over-capitalised joint-stock company, over which he presides to this day. Wilson is rich. The joint-stock company is constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. What- better proof could one have of his ability? But that was not all. Wilson was a devout man, and he brought to his devotion the same push and energy that he displayed in busi- ness. He bought a large piece of ground, built a chapel on the corner of it, and, in virtue of his office as deacon, he "ran" that chapel for all it was worth. It was a success. There was nothing like it in the neighbourhood. There never was such a brisk, slap-dash, get-out-of-my-way place of worship on the face of the earth. The presid- ing minister was a Sunday edition of Wilson. He preached his employer's theology, and with absolute conviction and whole-hearted- ness, expounded the Gospel-according-to- Wilson. No church for miles round could compete with it. They had drums and fifes, bands and banners, "missions," "revivals," "socials," and glorifications of every kind and description. They interfered with everybody and every- thing, drilled and exhorted one another, and denounced all other kinds of worship with untiring energy and zeal. And Wilson led the way in everything- especially in taking up the collections. Now most men would have been satisfied with this. "When a man has mastered his own little world he should rest on his oars. But Wilson was not that sort. He was not content with being one man. He wanted to be two men. So he set out on a new phase of life, and- of all things for a suburban grocer to seleot —he entered the theatrical and musical busi- ness. The promptings of conscience were a trifle confusing. In his capacity of Deacon, Mr. Wilson dis- approved of theatres and music-halls. In fact, he disapproved of any entertainment more exhilarating than a magic-lantern and a brass btf&dr But as a man of business, Mr. Wilson per. ceived that there was no money to be made in theatrical ventures by anyone with capital and judgment. So he compromised matters, with his con- science, by living two separate and distinct lives. In one life he was Mr. Wilson, retired grocer and a deacon. In the other life he was Bos- tock (of the firm of Bostock and Small, Theatrical and Variety Agents). He never allowed the two existences to get mixed up. People who knew him as Wilson had no idea he was Bostock. People who knew him as Bostock had no notion he was Wilson. And that was how the muddle arose. As Bostock he visited the offices of the firm on certain days of the week, gave Mr. Small, who was his automatic mouthpiece, his instructions, shook up the staff, and tran- sacted! as much business in a few hours as some men do in a lifetime. In the theatrical profession Bostock was regarded as a kind of myth. He belonged to all the Bohemian clubs, but frequented none of them. He had an office and a partner, and a staff, transacted an enormous quantity of business, ran companies, built theatres, pro- duced plays—but never appeared in the flesh. His private address was a residential club near the Strand, but if you called he always happened to be out. In short, Bostock was an unknown force in the theatrical world, felt but never seen. The wildest rumours were afloat as to his identity, and he was said to be anybody you like, from' the Prince of Wales downwards. But nobody suspected him of being a suburban grocer, who played the big drum in the P.S.A. band. One Sunday, after sermon, Mr. Wilson men- tioned to his theological mouthpiece that he had sold the land adjoining the church. The theological mouthpiece was properly inte- resdi, and hoped Mr. Wilson had got a good price. "Very fair," said the deacon mildly. "The man who has bought it is named Bostock." "And what does he purpose doing with the land?" inquired the theological mouthpiece. "I don't quite know," said Mr. Wilson delibe- rately. "But I have an idea that he intends to build residential flats." There the matter dropped. But two or three weeks later the theological mouthpiece ap- proached Mr. Wilson with a look of horror on his face. "Have you heard the rumonr which is being whispered about?" he said, in a, sepulchral whisper. "The man Bostock, to whom you sold the piece of ground adjoining our dear church, is going to build a music-hall on it." "A music-hall?" echoed Mr. Wilson, with an expression of holy dismay on his face. "I am told that the plans have been passed, and that he intends to commence operations at onco." continued the theological mouth- piece. "It appears that Bostock is a mem- ber of the firm of Bostock and Small, theatri- cal agents. I had never heard of them until last night." "Bostock and Small," said Mr. Wilson, thoughtfully. "I don't know the name at all. But. then, I take so little interest in such things," he added, with a mournful smile. "The music-hall will positively be next door to our beloved building," said the pastor, looking half inclined to cry. "We may hear fragments of their ribald songs when we assemble at our Wednesday Cheerfuls." "But we won't have it. Mr. Wilson," he added with sudden violence. "We won't have it. He is a ohild of the devil, this Bostock"- (here Mr. Wilson coughed)—"and we will gird up our loins, and—and—and—consult our soli- citors." "I'm afraid we can't prevent his building a music-hall," said Mr. Wilson. in a somewhat troubled voice. "You eee the ground is his own freehold." "Then we will oppose his licence. We'll fight him at every point, and you, my dear air. you shall be our leader." Mr. Wilson did not look so delighted at the invitation to lead a crusade against himself, as might be expeoted. Things were not shaping gaite »o jiicely AS her. expected. On. paper his plan of action had seemed to bd perfect. He would have his chapel, his music-hall^ and his grocery business all within a stone'a throw of one another. He would be utilising a piece of waste ground, and providing his capital with a. new outlet. To be sure, he anticipated a certain am of mild indignation from the congregation, but he had no notion of the desperate oppo- sition which was to follow. Meetings were held in all parts of the rreijgh» bourhood, hot, fiery meetings. over which: ho was called upon to preside.. He was a capital speaker; and, having once warmed to the: task of abusing music-halls, it was surprisihjr how well he did it. He was so lucidly aTTgumm. tative. that sometimes he nearly conviiitwd himself; while, as for Bostock, he abused hiift so vigorously, so violently, that ilr.. Simcll seriously advised him to take proceedings for libel against Wilson. In the meanwhile the solicitors who Trprc- sented Wilson and his co-trustees for- the chapel were exchanging angry ]etterewith:tiie solicitors who represented Bostock and Smail, and a nice little lawyers' bill was being run up against him on both sides. The muddle was proceeding merrily,, but in spite of all,, he was rather amused.. There was something humorous in writing1 to tha local papers describing Wilson as a "rowdy-, hypocrite"; and then, in penning a reply,. itt which he described Bostock as a "purveyor of damnation." Of course, the music-hall was built, axttL with some little trouble, a licence procured. The opposition served a useful purpose in advertising the concern, and Mr. Restocks music-hall stood, with unblushing effrontery, by the side of Mr. Wilson's chapel. But the muddle was not ended. There happened to be another clever man in the congregation besides Wilson, the son of one of the deacons. He was articled to a solicitor, and, being a keen-witted young fellow, he took a sportsmanlike interest ia the Wilson v. Bostock struggle out of a sheer love of fun, without caring a straw for either. He hinted that he believed Bostock had trespassed on their rights by building so close to their chapel as to shut out their light. The mention of such a thing was sufficient. The congregation was in a truculent humour. Counsel's opinion was taken. Counsel believed that the trustees had a good case, that was enough. The congregation was up in arms at once. Wilson tried to stem the tide of Jingoism in vain. He pointed out the enormous cost of litigation. He even doubted whether it was quite in the spirit of Chris- tianity to persecute even such a man as Bos- tock. But it was useless. Nobody would hear of a compromise, and an action was entered. Wilson's face grew longer every day. The solicitors on both sides fought the case lika tigers, and money was flung about with a. recklessness that nearly killed them. He dared not protest. He was required to be enthusiastic on both sides of the case, and when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, and Bostock was ordered to pay £ 2,000 damages, and costs on the higher scale, tho conquering hero, Wilson, sat down and wept like a child. It was not till that moment that he realised what a donkey he was. It opened his eyes to the fact that he, Wilson, the clever man. was without exception the biggest fool alive. His only comfort was that by good luck hia secret was safe. Nobody, not even his wife, nor his dearest friends, knew that Bostock, the showman, and Wilson, the deacon, were one and the same, and that both of them were conceited idiots. And if it should be asked how it is that I am in a position to tell the tale, I can give you a satisfactory explanation-I am Wilson.

SHE GOT LIMELIGHT. At a small seaport town a "star" actresa of the third magnitude appeared as Juliet. "I cannot do justice to myself," she said to the manager, "if I do not have a limelight thrown on me when I appear at the balcony." "We ain't got no limelight, miss, but I think we could get you a ship's blue-light," replied the obliging manager, and to thia the lady agreed. The lad who went to the shop to buy the* blue-light brought back a signal rocket. which was given to him by mistake. The prompter took the rocket in good faith. Romeo: He jests at scars that never felt a. wound. (Juliet appears. Prompter lights the match.) "But. soft; what light through yonder win- dow breaks?" (This was the match lighting the fuse.) "Arise, fair sun!" quickly followed. The sun, or rather the rocket, did rise, with a terrific hiss. Juliet was knocked off the* balcony, the stage borders were set on fire. and the theatre was filled with sulphurous smoke, while the audience, which was fortunately a, small one, made a stampede to the doors. Since then "Romeo and Juliet" has always been looked upon in that town as a dramatic work that could not be witnessed without personal danger.

EXPLAINED. A lady, who rather prided herself on her powers as a teacher of Biblical knowledge, was recently staying at a country vicarage in Xorth Lancashire, in a district where sporting instincts prevail, and where almost every male adult and very many youngsters own or have an interest in lurchers, whip- pets, or other dogg. Taking, as was her wont, a class in the local Sunday School and expatiating upon the Book of Job, she, in the course of her remarks, introduced the daughters of that patriarch. and put to her class a question which she had previously in other pla-ces found an effec- tive poser. "Now, Job," she said, "had three daughters, Jemina, Kezia, and-. Can anyone give me the name of the third?" "Keren-happuch," said one of the girls, whose appearance by no means suggested th. poesession of much Biblical lore. "You are a very good girl for studying your Bible so carefully," said the gratified teacher; go up to the top of the class." •' She did na geet thatten eauwt o' Bible," cried an envious class-mate. "They's th' names o' her feyther a three wheats!"
