 Mr. IT. 5>ry dear Lydia, have just received bad news from the

 3frs. H. From father? 
 
 Mr. H. Ife writes that my uncle, Andrew Crittenden, has sud- 
 denly died in India, and it will be necessary for me — — 
 
 Mrs. H. Oh, Tom, not for you to go away and leave me! 
 
 Mr. II. I fear, my dear Lydia, that I shall be compelled to. The 
 business aftairs of the firm are in such a muddle that unless I go im- 
 mediately to Calcutta, ruin will be the result. My father writes— 
 Biiall I read you his letter? {reads) " Go at onee, my dear boy, and 
 send your wife to me. I will take care of lier and see her settled in 
 your new home in Richmond. I would go myself, but my gout wont 
 allow mc." So you sec it can't be helped, much as 1 regret leaving 
 my bride. ' 
 
 Mrs. H. Oh, Tom, how can I live without you. Let me g<f, too 
 —I'll gladly share your discomforts. 
 
 Mr. II. No, Lydia, not for a moment could I think of that. In 
 our home at Richmond you'll wait for me, and with the frequent 
 letters, our time of probation will soon pass away. Come, now, let 
 us prepare for our journey — you to join father, 1 to start on my long 
 trip. Be courageous, my' little vvife, and all will be well. 
 
 {exit both, R.

 ACT II. 
 
 8CEITE — Drawing-room at Bichmond. Two years later* 
 
 • Mr. H. (outside) Here, John, tell your mistress that a frien(3 
 from India has arrived and desires to see her. 
 
 Enter Mr. Hudson, l. 
 
 , 3fr. H. My wife will soon be here. How charmingly she flushed 
 and disappeared from that window when she saw me watching her. 
 I see she does not recognize me — ha ! I have an idea ! I'll represent 
 myself as a friend of her husband's. I suppose that she'll know me, 
 but it is true that I have grown a tolerably big beard since I went 
 away, and I have become considerably tanned. However, she ought 
 to know me — tlie beard ought not to make any difference — I sup- 
 pose she would know me with my head perfectly bald, nose broken, 
 and one arm off. On the other hand she thinks that I am still in 
 Calcutta, for siie must have had my last letter saying I would not be 
 home for a month, this morning. I hope my sudden appearance 
 here won't alarm her. But here she comes, and now for my plan. 
 
 Enter Mrs. Hudson, R. . 
 
 Mrs. H. {to Mr. H., who stands gazing out of windoxc, L.) May I 
 offer you a chair? I am afraid the ojjen window is too much for 
 you. 
 
 Mr. H. Oil, no, not all. 
 
 (facing wife for an instant, then resuming survey of garden 
 
 3frs. H. Do let me order a fire to be lighted. 
 
 3Ir.H. (tui-mng around) Oh, no, not for worlds. But the fact 
 is, Mrs.^ — 
 
 Mrs. H. My name is Mrs. Hudson. 
 
 Mr.H. Oh, thank you — yes! The fact is, Mrs. Hudson, that I 
 am not entirely reconciled to this abominable English climate. I — • 
 ah — that is to say, a man who has existed in groves of mango — ah— 
 has lived on curry and chutnee — ah — with the thermometer standing 
 doggedly at 102 in the shade, is — ah — But I dare say you under- 
 stand. 
 
 Mrs. H. Oh, perfectly, Mr. I think I have not the pleasure 
 
 of knowing your name. 
 
 Mr.H. (aside) Who am I? What name can I say? This is 
 getting exciting, (aloud) My name is Jndson. 
 
 3Irs. H. What a curious similarity. Yes, I can readily believe 
 that people coming home from India find this climate very trying at 
 first, even in summer. My husband writes that the heat in Calcutta 
 has been excessive. Possibly, Mr. Judson, you may have called to 
 give me some news of him ? I hope so — I thought his last letter was 
 not written in very good spirits. 
 
 Mr.H. (aside) That is satisfactory ; the lapse of two years has 
 not altered her love for me. (aloud) Yes, I can give you some news 
 of him, for a month ago I was at Calcutta, 
 
MR. HUDSON'S TIGER HUNT. 5 
 
 Mrs. IT. Indeed ? How delightful ! Do sit down, Mr. Judson, 
 It is very pleasant to meet any one who has seen my husband so re- 
 cently ; for 1 gather from what you say that you have seen him. How 
 was he ? 
 
 3Ir. H. (aside) It is evident she don't know me— should I de 
 Clare myself as her husband she might faint or have hysterics. I 
 rather enjoy the present situation. Must thinli up some plausible 
 "^tory. (aloud) He was as well .is could be expected. 
 
 Mrs. H. (in alarm) As well as could be expected? Do you 
 mean that he was ill. 
 
 Mr. H. (aside) What shall I say next? (aloud) Well, not ex- 
 actly ill. 
 
 Mrs. H. But I do not understand you. Tell me, please, what has 
 nappened to him. 
 
 Mr. H. (aside. ) I am in a predicament now. Wish she would 
 settle this difficulty by recognizing me. ( aloud) Nothing verj^ 
 gerious. I dare say he has told you that he has become very fond ot 
 tiger shooting? 
 
 Mrs. H. Ah, Tigers! Tell me, Mr. Judson, tell me ! 
 Mr. H. Well, he went out tiger-shooting one day as usual — ah — 
 he was accompanied only by his servant. They entered the jungle! 
 Suddenly, and without warning, a huge female tiger sprang upon 
 your husband and bore him to the earth. The native tied for as- 
 sistance; help arrived, and the victim was found faint from loss of 
 blood, with right arm torn out of the socket, his left eye destroyed, 
 and the calf of his left leg — ah — deeply scored by the cruel claws of. 
 the ferocious monster. 
 
 Mrs. H. Dear me, how alarming! That fully accounts for his 
 
 bad spirits. His right arm 
 
 3Ir. H. Yes, torn out at the socket, Mrs. Hudson. He has learn~ 
 ed to write with his left hand. 
 
 Mrs. H. Ah ! dreadful. And his left eye destroyed? 
 Mr. H. Yes, he wears a glass eye, poor fellow. 
 Mrs, H. It must be agony. And the calf of his leg deeply scored 
 by the cruel claws of the ferocious monster ? Terrible misfortune ! 
 And when you left him, Mr. Judson, how was he? Will he sur- 
 vive? 
 
 Mr. H. (aside) She don't seem to be much alarmed! Wonder 
 if she ain't anxious for me to die ? (aloud ) It is impossible to say 
 with certainty, but you must hope for the best. Let me beg of you, 
 jmy dear Mrs. Hudson, to keep up your spirits. 
 
 Mrs. H. Oh, Mr. Judson, I don't see why I should be miserable. 
 There is very pleasant society down here at Richmond; and, you 
 know, there are as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. 
 
 Mr. II. (aside) The heartless woman ! This is how she receives 
 the news of my being mangled -and disfigured, (aloud ) Poor fel- 
 low. I assure you that in his delirium your name was very often on 
 his lips. 
 
 3Irs. H. Indeed ! Then he had not quite forgotten me? 
 Mr. H. Forgotten you ? Oh, no, I think that it is tlie lot of but. 
 few women to have a husband so utterly devoted to them. 
 
 Jlfrs. H. And of but few men to have a wife 
 
 Mr. H. So charming. 
 ' Mrs. H. Oh, Mr. Judson! But excuse me. Of course you will 
 etay to luncheon. Do, to please me. Y'ou know that a woman hates 
 
6 MR. HUDSON'S TIGER HUXT. 
 
 solitude little less than small-pox. One moment. I will just go 
 and give the necessarj'^ orders. {exit, k. 
 
 Mr. H. Well, this is awful. She don't recognize me, and appar- 
 ently she does not seem to care for me mucli. She reminds me that 
 there are as good tish in the sea as ever came out of it. That, I eup- 
 j)0se, means that if I would only die and liberate her she would 
 promptly marry some one else. A nice instance of the faithlessness 
 of woman. Perhaps I should do well to leave her at once, and 
 never let her know the truth— but I can't do that. I love her still ; 
 indeed, I'm afraid I love her more than I ever did. No, I will see 
 this afl'air to the end. If she is faithless to my memory, then 
 
 Enter Mrs. Hudson, R. 
 
 3fr$, IT. Luucheon will soon be prepared, and in the mean while 
 you must do your best to amuse me, as there is no one else in the 
 house but the servants. Sometimes, of course, we have delightful 
 evenings here. I know everj'one in the neighborhood, and as a 
 married woman, I ask whom I like to my house. You must come 
 one evening, Mr. Judson, and sup with us afterwards. 
 
 Mr. II. { bitterly) I'm afraid I slian't be here for long. I'm go- 
 ing abroad. I cannot rest anywhere. 
 
 ■ ^Ifrs. H. You are worried, I see — I can sympathize with you. 
 Mr. H. Yes, family matters and disappointments, yon know. 
 Mrs. H. Disappointments ! But you are young, and if you will 
 excuse me, not bad looking. Perhaps 5'ou have merely lost your 
 heart to one of the young ladies of London. 
 
 Mr. 11. Oh, no. And, to tell the truth, I am doubtful whether 
 any woman would be Avorth worrying about. 
 
 Mrs. H. Don't be cynical. Perhaps you expect too much from 
 women. 
 
 Mr. H. I expect sympathy, fidelity and consideration. 
 Mrs. II. But, let me ask, do you yourself indulge in those Vir- 
 tues? Ah! men are very inconsistent, I fear. However, I hope you 
 do not think all women destitute of those qualities. 
 Mr. II. Well, I know to my cost, that some are. 
 Mrs. H. But you are worrying yourself, I see, although you try 
 to affect indifterence. What is it? 
 
 Mr. H. Worrying myself? Not a bit. 
 
 Mrs. II. I am glad to hear you Sciy so. I don't worry myself. 
 
 Cosoy supper and 
 
 3Ir. II. But the probable death of your husband? 
 Mrs. H. Oh, I am philosophical. We only had been married two 
 (\s.y& — we only knew each other for a few weeks. What am I to 
 liiiii? AVhat is he to me? Life is still before me. 
 - Mr. H. {aside) That is rather plain speaking. I wonder whether 
 .she would like to get up a flirtation with me? I will draw her on a 
 little, {aloud) Ah ! you have happiness within your grasp, and 
 you can make another happy. It is not every man who is so for- 
 tunate as to meet with a woman like you. Now I confess I have 
 been unfortunate in my exioerience. But if I thought that I might 
 
 liojje for your sympathy 
 
 Mrs. H. Surely, Mr. Judson, it would be unwomanly of me to 
 refuse it. 
 Mr. a, Ob, if I might hope for your sympathy, and look for your 
 
MK. HUDSON'S TIGER HUNT. 7 
 
 regar(3 and pity, my dear Mrs. Hudson, life, I assure j'ou, -would, 
 soon assume a new complexion to my eyes. Let us be plain. Can 
 you not make me happy, and bestow your syinputhy, your love, and 
 your pity upon one who will value sut-h gifts at their tiue worth. - 
 
 Mrs. H. ( agitated) Really, I was not prepared for all this. I 
 leel the need of love, love such as yours; but- 
 
 Mr. II. (aside) This is my faithful and devoted wife, {kneeling 
 -^aloud) Dear BIrs. Hudson, I love you ! Do you, can you love 
 me ? 
 
 Mrs. II. I return your love, and 
 
 Mr. II. (risinij) Mrs. Hudson, what would your husband say to 
 this? You are a faithless, vicious woman! 
 
 2Irs. II. Then why, just now, did you ask for my love"? 
 
 Mr. II. Because I wanted to assure myself that you were .'o vi- 
 cious and so worthless as 1 now know you to be. As for loving you 
 — 1 despise you ! I leave you to your own wicked thoughts. 
 
 (kisses her han^ 
 
 Mrs. II. Are you going, Mr. Judson' 
 
 Mr. H. Yes, I had better go — it is for the best. We could not be 
 happy. Good bye ! (kisses- her hand and goes toicard door, L. 
 
 Mrs. II. Good-bye, Tom ! 
 
 Mr. II. Tom? Who told you my name was Tom? 
 
 Mrs. II. You did, you foolish fellow, about two years ago. 
 
 Mr. H. And you knew me, Lydia? {^coming toward her] Yon 
 have known me all along? 
 
 Mrs. H. No, I did not know you until you tol 1 me that tremen- 
 dous story about the tiger. There was no mistaking you then. And 
 now I know that it is the lot of but few women to have a husband so 
 utterly devoted to her. 
 
 3Ir. II. And of few men to have a wife so charming. That tiger 
 hunt came near proving disasterous to our happiness, but we are out 
 «, of the jungle now, and 
 
 Mrs. H. Many years of happiness lie before us.

 HAL HAZARD, 
 
 OR THE FEDERAL SPY.! 
 
 A Military Drama of the late war of the Rebellion, 
 in four acts, by 
 
 Fred G. Andrews 
 
 TTils drama is a great success, and is published now for the first 
 time, from the author's original manuscript. There has been a de- 
 mand for a play which could be used by Grand Army Posts, Mili- 
 tary Companies, etc., which would be effective, and yet not difficult 
 to represent. This want Hal Hazard will supply. 
 
 It has eight male characters and three female. A few soldiers,* 
 both U. S. and C. S., may be used, but there is no elaborate drills 
 or difficult stage business to try the patience of the manager. It 
 takes from 1% to 2 hours to present it. 
 
 The leading character is a double one. "George Clarendon," 
 who assumes the character of "Old Hal," a very deaf and shrewd 
 old man, who is equally at home in the Confederate or Federal 
 Camp. As the Spy he is always on hand at the proper time, and 
 always comes out ahead in all places where his services are needed. 
 The other characters are all good, consisting of a Captain and Lieu- 
 tenant in the U. S. Army, and four Confederates. Generals Sher- 
 man, Stoneman and Garrard are represented, but may be omitted if 
 desired. There is also an excellent Leading Lady, Old Woman and 
 Kegro Comedy Woman. 
 
 We think those who order and Droduce this play will be more 
 than pleased.
