A RÄT IX AN OPERA BOX.Tiir-r was a large and elegantly«...-(. thron» present to see "Made-

mishap, und the heroine. Madeleine,-!ivh< di !.! progr imtne calls an unkisscdmaid-, h <i received her third kiss from

h ro. Phe audience were delighteds-ttln icro's hick in getting this thirdkiss, aod as the curtain was let downthey settled themselves back in theirsc \ s to chut about it. The few rüdemen who go oui between the acts'toget ;t drink of wafer had already left,an i the air w as filled with low conver¬sation.Suddenly there arose above this buz

zing not one but a succession ofshrieks.These shrieks came and continued tocome from the li ft-hand balcony boxnearest to the stage. All eyes were

directed to this box. In it was a man

and a woman. The mäh sat withblanched chicks staring at the woman,while she stood upon » chair screamingami shaking her skirts.The audience did not know what to

make of (lie .-trance sight. Finally thecause ofi' all appeared in the shape ola rot. The poor creature was mote

frightened than the woman. It jump-id upon the railing of the box and run

up and down several times, while theworuau kept up her screams.The face of her companion, when he.

saw the rat, changed from white to a

deep red, and, taking hold of the wo¬man's arm, he tried gently to lift herfrom the chair. She.'-wouldn't budge aninch but ki t*' screaming:, while the poorrat, half./righteued ti> death, stood stilland stare« 1 ¦' her. This made the wo¬man scream all the more, made the anlit c mgh, and turned the color onthe escort's face to deeper red.The m in ßunily let yo the woman's

arm, aud pulliug out his handkerchiefadvanced in a threatening attitude to¬ward the rot, yelling "Shoo!" and wav¬

ing bis handkerchief at it. The poorrat let out a pitiable squeak, andmade a movement as though to jumpon the chair on which stood theWoman. No sooner had this motionbeen made than the woman gave a

long-continued shriek, Even the ratcouldu't stand it. So, quickly turning,it gave a farewell squeak and jumpeddown in among I he audience. The ta¬bles were turned now and the womenin the orchestra sudd< nly turned pale.The rat landed without harm to him¬self on the soft foot of a fat middle-auctl. and jiiddily dressed woman, r^heleaped up and stood on the seat. Fora few seconds she was perfectly still.Then she gave utterances to a scream

equal to any that had come from thebox.Someone yelled that that rat was

dea f, while another man rudely yelled:"For God's ;-ake, don't let that wom¬

an scream auain."The fat woman wave him a withering

look. Her escort assured her that therat was really dead. Then, picking uph'T si.ii >, she pot down from the seatand walked out of the theatre, her es-1corl following her and carrying her]wrapä. The box w here the rat had firstappeared was now also empty. Afterthe opera was over a couple of theatreal laches tried to find the body of thedead rat, but couldu't..N. Y. Sun.
