It does not bear the slightest resem

take it
The artist protested bnt nil to no

After tho dandy had left tho painter
added to tho portrait a magnificent pair
of ass ears and exhibited it in tho win
dow thus ulterod to the gaze of tho
cnrioiiH public
It hadnt been long exposed whon the
dandy entered the artists studio in a
towering rage and finding that threats
amounted to nothing lie at last offered
to buy it even at a considerable ad

It wasnt strange yon didnt recog

youd notice tho likeness as soon as I

Mnrrlnne liy Hiilter
Among ignorant peoplo of English
birth it is fully bolioved that a wife
bought with monoy or goods in legally
married if tho purchaser leads her all
the way homo by a halter
Mr Baring Gould tho English anti
quarian tells of a village poet known
to him who bought a wifo for a half
crown and lod her 13 miles to his cot
tage
Tho squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that ho was not
legally wedded
Why yes I be ho replied Ill
take my Dible oath I never oiico took
the halter off till ehed crossed the door
sill and tho door was shut
Tho latest instances of such wife sales
occurred in 1858 and 1859 when wom
en were sold in Little Hoi ton and in
Dudley In theso cases a blue ribbon
took the placo of tho straw halter
But gontle ladies tho symbolic idea

courso of lectures once on magnetism
for instance ho defined an ideal mag

tudinally magnetized bar and the
misguided students vocifeornsly cheer

soit of a notion of It so that ho can
not help Know lug Unit It is a welid atnl
gluislly story about a monster but
whether or not riaiiLeiisteln Is the
monster een well Informed people do
not alwajrt know showing that they
neer lend the story
Sometimes u hear allusions to
KniiiUeintelns monster as In one of
Chillies Sumners oiations wheie ho
speaks of thu soulless monster of

very piiitlcular In his use of llgnies of
speech was light When Mrs Uelniul
In her Hue novel of Sidney makes
Major Lee say that Chiistliinlly Is a

to talk nonsense
Thu story of this weird novel and tho
clicunistaiiees under which It ennui to
bo wilt ten ate decidedly Intel est Ing
and may be told In a few woids The
facts mo as follows
In 1SH Mary Codwln nfterwwd
Mrs Shelley eloped with Shelley nutl
they took up their lesldence near Ge
neva In Switzerland They had Loid
Ityion for a neighbor and the tlneo
passed much time together Their con
versation fioquently inn on the occult
and the mysterious and Ityion one day
proposed that each should wiite a
ghost story All agteetl and went to
work but It was not long befoie the
two poets gae It up as a hopeless
task They could write poetry but
they could not wiite stoiles
Mary perseveied and completed her
tnle In the spilng of 1817 When My
ron and Shelley henid It read they
were hinpiiscd and delighted It was
bound to be the novel of the century
The name of it was Fianketistein or
The Modem Prometheus It was Im
mediately sent to London for publica
tion and met with a great success
Frankenstein Is a Swiss youth a
student at the Unlveislty of Ingol
stadt deeply Intel ested In the study of
chemistry and natural philosophy lie
resolves to penetiate the mysteries of
life and death and wicst from nature
the secret of creation After prolong
ed btudy he succeeds and discovers
how to impart movement and anima
tion to lifeless matter
He then resolves to mold a colossal
man making him beautiful In form
and feature and Imbue him with life
He carries on his work In a studio far
fioin the habitations of man labors
long nnd sectetly and at last the work
Is completed There in the gieat loom
lies the form and semblance of a hu
man being perfect In all his propor
tions Frankenstein l elates the stoiy
It was on a dready night In Novem
ber that I beheld the accomplishment
of my tolls With an anxiety that al
most amounted to agony I collected
the instruments of life aiound me that
I mlLht Infuse a spnik of being Into
the lifeless thing that lay at my feet
It was alieinly 1 oclock In the
morning The lain pattered dismally
against the window panes and my
candle was neaily binned out when
by the glimmer of the half extinguish
ed light I saw the dull yellow eye of
tho creatine open It breathed haul
and a convulsive motion agitated its
limbs
Slowly the Immense creature arose
and the artist frightened at his own
work fled away Then ho returns to
find his creation possessod of life and
every attribute of humanity except a
soul Nowhere can it find human sym
pathy It Is out of harmony with all
things about It and after searching
tho world In pursuit of happiness It
returns again to Frankenstein and de
mands that he make a companion with
whom it cau live u sympathy and
love
Frankenstein declines and thence
forth the monster pursues him with
hatred and revenge It slays his broth
ers and sister his friend and his bride
It follows him to Itusbln to Siberia
and Into the Arctic ocean nnd there
creature and artist perish together It
Is a most uncanny story to read o
nights
Sir Walter Scott reviewed tho novel
In The Quarterly but while admitting
Its power confessed ho did not like It
Our tnsto and our Judgment revolt lit
this kind of writing All the critics
agreed as to Its daring originality
