THE WAX STATUES.
BY FRANK GREFJiWOOD.
Mr. Timothy Fudge was a great man—in
bis own estimation. A carpenter by trade,
he had worked hard, bat always remained
poor, notil a few months before our story,
when, by the death of a brother whom he
had not seen for twenty years, he unex-
pectedly came into the possession of the—
to him—immense ram of thirty thousand
dollars.
Mr. Timothy Fudge immediately became
another man. From always growling about
rich people, he was now satisfied that un-
less a man was rich, he was a scoundrel.
He had built him a fine house, from a plan
of his own; and, at the time our story
commences, was taxing his ingenuity to its
utmost in order to out-ao every one in the
neighborhood, in the matter of furnishing
it in style. Mr. Fudge was a widower with
an only daughter: a pretty, sensible girl,
about eighteen years of age.
Since her father's sudden rise in the
world, Ellen had been sorely tried by his
absurd, whimsical notions, but had con-
trived to hare her own way in all but two
things. Inthese there seemed little chance
for her to have any say. One was, that
she must have nothing more to do with a
certain young man, Charles Melton, by
name, to whom she had been engaged more
than a year baclc, and who was considered
an eligible match by the old man, before
he became Tich.
The other was about decorating the par-
lor. Timothy had heard of some nabob
who had procured several costly marble
«tatues to-place in his library, and nothing
would do but he must follow suit. But he
very soon becatue aware that good marble
statues cost a little more that he could afibrd
to pay for tbeiu, and for a time, was rather
blue about it. until one day, the thought
struck htm, why not have them made of
wax. No sooner thought of. thau it was j
decided in his own mind that wax thev
«honld be.
-Vow it did not make such a very great
difference to Ellen, this idea of having wax
statues in the house, if she could choose
the subjects to-suit herself: bit' Timothy
was determined to have the great men of
the world, and these, in his estimation,
consisted of but four, namely : King Phil-
lip, Daniel Lambert, Xanoleon Bonaparte,
and Jack Sheppard.
In vain did Ellen talk of Suakspeare,and
the poets, it wa3 breath wasted : and so
she at last thought, herself, and kept silent, •
in despair. But one thing she was deter-
mined upon, and that was, tha t she would
have Charles Melton, at. any rate.
"I will tell yon. said Charles, "you give
me a list of the persons he is intending to
have, and I, with the assistance of others
will personate these statues. Once get us
into the house, and Til warrant that ire
will so work upon his nerves, that he will
gladly consent to anything that we pro-
pose."
"Well I do declare, Charles, that is a
capital idea,'" said Ellen, "and I am sure
it will work to a charm. To be sure, it
does not seem to be just right to conspire
against my own father, but- to gain his
consent to our union, I will do so, and
perhaps it may cure him of his foolish be-
lief in spirits."
"I hope so," replied Melton, "both for
his sake and yours. But the names, do
you remember them ?"
"Oh. yes,"' said Ellen: "first, there is
that terrible Indian Chiefs King Philip;
then Daniel Lambert, the fat man: Napo-
leon Bonaparte, and last but not least in
his imagination. Jack Sheppard."
"Enough, Nellie, enough!"' replied
Charles, "They are characters very easily
personated, and I will have them on hand
in good time, depend upon it. In the"
meantime "
• come in with me, and I'll show yon how all
that is done. Come along."

He was interrupted bv the sudden en-
trance of Jim, who exclaimed:
"Oil, Miss Ellen, massa's commin'! I
didn't seejhim till he got clean troo de gate,
'deed I didn't."
•'Then you must go out the back way,
Charles," said EUeu, "come with me quick-
ly-"
They had hardly left the room when
Timothy entered. "Jim, you rascal," said
he, "take my hat and cane. Stop Jim! who
has been here since I wfent out
'Nobody, sar." replied Jim, with the
utmost sangfroid.
"You lie, you ape, you lie. I ran sec it
with half an eye," said he.
Well, to "fess de truth, massa, dar was
one gemman ben hy'ar sence you ben gone.
I 'most forgot dat."
"I thought so," said Timothy, "I thought
so, in fact I knew so. Now, look here, Jim,
tell me truly who it was. and J will give
you sixpence."
"Yer will," said Jim, "jes plank der
cash in (lis hand, raassa, and its done."
"Well, there it is," said Fudge, "now
ho was it V
"Why. massa, 'twas de milkman."'
'•What! cried Timothy in a rage, "get
out you black rascal, or I'll break every
bone in your body," and suiting the action
to the word, he made at him, but Jim, who
was used to such explosions, easily dodged
him and left the room.
"Confound that rascal, he's fooling me,
I know it. i am sure there has been some
one in this bonse since 1 have been gone,
but I'll catch them yet, or my name is not
Timothy Fudge."
CHAPTER II.
It was early in the evening of the same
day that Charles Melton was explaining
his project to a party of his friends at a
private club-room which they frequented :
he very easily found three to help him. and
had arranged everything satisfactorily,
when the door opened, and Jim entered.
Walking up to Charles, he said in a very
audible whisper, "please sar. Miss EU'n
sent me down hy'ar to tell yer dat de Ag-
gers was comin' at ate of de clock."
"Weli, that is all right." said Melton,
"now boys, let us go and make our prep-
aration;, and Jim, you can^tay here as
long as you like, and help yourself to any-
thing you see."
"Help myself," said Jim, after they had
all gone, "won't I ? tinkdis chile don t want
axin more'n once,e f dar is anything hy'ar
to help himself to. I wonder what (lis
mout be? (taking up a bottle and smelling,)
Gin ! by golly, dis chap's goin' to hab one
good pull at dis bottle ef it pulls all de
wool offn dis head. I golly! ain't dat he ?
dats gin dat is gin ef I'm any judge. I
tink as how I'll make de most of dat ar
stuff, case sich chances ain't _ gwine to
come ebcry day. Halloo!jjdar's some segars;

It was during a discussion upoa this j won't yer smoke ? tankye sar, don't keer
' ef I do dat tin:;."
subject that our story opens.
"It is no use talking girl," said the old
a-.an. savagely, "you shall not marry that
tellow. That's what I say and mean it
100: so dorf't mention Ms name to me
again."
"But. father." said Ellen. "I can never
love any one else : and as for that, I don't
want to. either, for he is as good a3 I am,
and I doii'l see why I can't have him."
"Don't say another word about it." said
Timothy. "I've said if, and ['11 stick to it:
yon shall not marry Charles Melton as long
•is I have any say about the matter The
penniless puppy!"
-frfen you shall.not have any say about
the matter," replied Ellen; "for I will
marry Charles Melton. . I say it, and I'll
s'ick to it, too."
"Yery well. Miss, very well," returned
the old man ; "have your own way, and
see how it will end. But mark my words,
it" ever you do marry that lazy scamp, you
will no longer have Any claim upon me,
remember that."
"I don'i care," said Ellen. "Charles can
earn enough to procure us a good living,
and that is all I ask."
"He get a good living!" sneered^_the.ol'l

:ry it. try it! I want to ses how it will
work. The idea of you, a rich man's
itanghter. wanting 'o marry that poor dev-
il. . Bah ! it makes rae sick to think of it.
But enough of that subject for the present.
1 have things of more importance to at-
tend to. I am afraid I shall have some
trouble about procuring a correct figure of
Jack Sheppard. King Philip was an In-
dian, and of course, looked like any other
Indian; and Daniel Lambert was a fat
man. and Napoleon is very well known;
but Jack Sheppard," no one seems to know
anything about how he looked.
"But father," interrupted Ellen, I can't
imagine what in the name of ccmiaon sense
you wact of a figure of Jack Sheppard.""
"Cant imagine what I want of JackShep-
i.ard."' said Timothy; "ain't 1 collecting th
figures of all the'great men, and wasn't he
great man in bis day but pshaw! you
don't know anything about it, so mind
your own business, and don't trouble me
with foolish questions. Wait till I get them
^11 arranged, then I will talk to you about
ihem."
"Heigho!" sighed Eilcn, as he left the
r jam. -'Poor Charles, his chance is bad
enough with father, bnt I will not give him
;:p for all that. All that lather can say
against him is. that, be is poor, and lam
sure that is nothing that will influence me
in my choice. Father is so very much
afraid that I will make myself a young
man's slave: but let him say what he will,
I mean to try it, any way,' 'she was inter-
rupted by the entrance of Jim, the man of
ail work, a middle-aged specimen of the
• fullered poperlation," as he styled him-
self. who exclaimed:
"Miss Ellen, dars a chap down dar, dat j
ax me ter brung you up dis billy dux, an' I I
tole um dat I couldn't tink ob sich a ting, j
but he blowedaway all my scrup'.ums with
ninetense and I fotch um rite up to yer."
Ellen took the note, and opening re3d :
"Dearest Nellie:—
"I wiah to see you very much, and as I
saw your father go away just now, I thought
it would be a good opportunity. Pray do
not refoM your Cbaehtt "
••Refuse him 7 No. Ihat 1 will not.—

"Yepum!" said Jim.
"Where's father
"Oh, he be done gone to see 'hout dom
ar wax images," said Jem.
"Well Janes," continued Ellen. "now
listen to me, you go and show in the gen-
tleman who gave you this note, and don't
say anything about it, and I will give you
half a dollar."
"Half a dollar!" said Jim, in great
amazement. "Fm yourn ! I'm bought!—
Lighting a segar and sitting in one chair
with his feet on another, he Continued:
"I golly, ain't dis ar .fun ? 1 guess ei
old massa seed his ape, as he calls dis
chap, now, he,d tink he was babin' a time
an' no mistake.
Now, I wonder ef dars enny troof in
what massa says 'bout niggers bein' apes.
I goliy! dat3 a question for 'scussion. To'
own up de 'onest troof, dar is some nig-
gers dat look 'nuff like apes, all but der
tails, but dis gemman flatters hisself dat
no 'scriminatin pusson would ever take me
for an ape no sar, de gemman is 'spicnous
in my face at de very first site."
Here Jim attempted to arise, but found
he had about as much as he could aonveni-
ently carry, and settling back in his chair,
continued:
"Halloo ! Jim, what de debbil is you at?
yer drunk, yer rascal, drunk: well, I know
it, but den yer know de gemmen alias gits
drunk, dats so, I golly, I guess dar wouldn't
anybody take dis nigger for an ape now,
who eber heered of an ape gittin' drunk ?
Nobody, no sar ! nobody but jemmen gits
drunk." Here Jim dropped his head on
the table, and was fast *
~ fa about an hour he partially aroused
himself and started for home, still feeling
rather dull.
It was about eight o'clock in the evening.
Timothy Fudge was walking up and down
the garden, in great glee. "So my statues
wiH all be up this evening," he said, good!
now I can hold my head up with the best
of them, for no one can show such a col-
lection of statues in this town, I'll be bound
to say."
He was interrupted by Ellen, who came
towards him saying : "Well, father, your
figures have arrived, and the men are busy
arranging them; they will be ready for
your examination in a little while."
"I'm glad to hear it girl," said Timothy,
I'm g'ad to hsar it. I'll show these folks
that I can have something more life-like
than all the pictures in Christendom. But
where's Jim? He should be there, helping
to arrange them."
"I sent him on an errand a short time
since, and he has not yet returned," said
Ellen.
"Well, you go and see tha' everything is
arranged properly," said Timothy, "and
I'll send him to help you. as soon as he
returns. I do not wish to see them until
they are all arranged, for if I shoulu, it
would spoil the effect."
Ellen returned to the library, and Tim-
othy went into the hall, were he met Jim,
who had just entered.
"Hullo ! massa." cried Jim—who felt
somewhat independent—"has dem imagees
got along yet ?" Not getting an immediate
answer, he continued in a louder tone :
"Why de debbil don't yer speak when yer
spoken to ? Is dem ar imagees come yet ?"
"Why! you drunken scamp ! said Tim-
in a rage." "If I had my cane here, j
break every boue in your body."
Jes look-a-here, massa: don't talk to
dis chile in dat manner: kase, ef yer does,
I'll discharge myself and hire to another
massa, I will by golly "
"Confound him!" muttered Timothy,
"he's too drunk to talk to. See here, Jim,
do you go into the parlor, and help Miss
Ellen."
"Dat's de way to talk, sar. I'll do dat!
kase per cibblc 'bout it. When yer treats
me like a'gemman, I'll do desame for you."
And with these words Jim left him, tak-
ing about a3 straight a course as a sheet
of tin, shied into the air on a windy day. i
"Now if that drunken rascal does not •
damage any of the figures," said Fudge
after he had gone, "l shall count myself a \
lucky man. The black imp, to go and get
drunk at this time, of all ethers ! But
Followed by Jim. he took a
entered the parlor.
"Ah," he exclaimed, "there they are.
all arranged. Aiut they beauties ?'"
"But, massa." interrupted Jim, "jes look
a-here : de debble's here, dat's sartin—
dat ar fat man, and de little one, in de cock
hat, has changed sides, sence I was in
here! True, as I'm a libin!"
"Get out, you fool!" said Timothy, "go
and get me a bottle of wine, and some
glasses. I'll drink their healths."
.Tim procured the wine and glasses, and
put them upon the table, and Timothy
poured out a glass, when a terrible yell
from Jim, who had approached the statues,
caused him to drop it, and it shivered in a
thousand pieces.
"Oh, massa !" a Teamed Jim, -'dat ar
Jack Shcpper shook his fist in my face!"
"Nonsense," said Fudge, pouring out
another glas3, "you are not sober, yet."—
Then, setting the glass of wine upon the
table, he went up to Jack Sheppard. and
showed Jim that his arms were perfectly
motionless.
"Can't help um. massa. said Jim: "dat
ar fist dubbled up, an' dat ar arm riz rite
up to my face, jes as true as I'm stannin'
here."
While they were looking at Jack, Napo-
leon stepped up from the other side, and
drank the glass of wine.
Timothy turned to the table to finish his
wine, the glass was empty. He looked ra-
ther suspiciously upon Jim. but it could
not have been him, for he had been along-
side him all the time. "Things do begin
to lcok rather mysterious," thought he.
However, he said nothing, but pouring
out another glass frtm the bottle, he drank
it, and then went to look atBonapaite,
keeping his eye upon Jim all th# time.—
While this was going on, Jack Sheppard
stepped up to the table, and, taking the
bottle and glasses, put them in his pocket.
Jim was the first to discover their dis-
appearance, and with a yell he said,
"Oh, gor-amity mass'r, where's de bot-
tle and glasses ?"
Timothy looked upon the table, sure
enough, they were gone. He went to the
table and looked under it: nothing was
there. Things began to look serious, in-
deed. He looked at Jim, and Jim at him,
while the large drops of perspiration stood
upon their faces.
Timothy again looked towards th* stat-
ues, when horror of horrors! he discovered
that every one of them was certainly ten
feet nearer to him, and every one of them
in a new position. Suddenly,every one of
the statues appeared to glide towards them
as if to hem them in. This was too much
for their nerves; falling upon the floor, he
grappled Jin, who fell over him, and both
yelled "murder!" "fire!" "thieves!" while,
to make the matter worse, one of the spir-
its put out the light, which left them in
total darkness. Their terrible veils soon
brought Ellen to the spot, with a light.
For a moment, she was convulsed with
laughter. Then, helping her fathe'.- to his
i'eet, she exclaimed.
"Why, father, for mercy's sake, what is
the matter'.' What terrible event has hap-
pened ? Are you both bewitched ?"
"Sakes 'live. Miss Ell'n," said Jim, "jes
as true as yer libben'Jdar's mor'n a hun
dreddebbils in dis yer room."
"That's it," said Timothy, "the devil is
here, sure enough. Oh! what have I done
to be so afflicted V"
"ffhat is it?"said Ellen ; "the old gen-
tleman here, himself? Then I can't stop,
for I don't wish to see him to-night."
"Nor I, nudder," said Jim. "I'se seen
devils enough, ter night," and lie followed
her from the room.
Timothy was about to follow, when a
voice from one of the statues exclaimed
"Hold !"
Falling upon his knees, Timothy cried,
"Oh, good Mr. Spirit, what do you want
with me. You can have an£$|ging I have
got. only don't have roe. I riofprJiarmed
any one." " «'-•
"Timothy Fudge!" said the voice,
"Listen tome! when you were a poor man,
yonr daughter had a suitor whom she loved
and whom you encouraged; circumstances
occurred by which you came in possession
of this property, and then because this man
was poor yon forbade him to enter your
house, or see your daughter, is this true ?"
"Yes, Mr. Spirit." said Timothy, "it is
true, but forgive me this time, and "
"No ! silence sir, and listen!" continued
the voice, • 'unless you sign that paper which
yon will find upon the table, I vow to tor-
ment you as long as you may live." "And
I! and I!—and I!" came from every part
of the room, as if echoed by a legion of
spirits.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" stammered Fudge;
only let me rest in peace, that is all I ask!"
He advanced to the table, and sure enough
there was a written paper with pen and
ink all ready to sign. Without stopping to
read. Fudge signed the paper, and then all
the statues advanced and added their sig-
natures.
At this moment, the door opened, and
Ellen entered. Upon seeing how they were
engaged, she exclaimed, "Why father,
what are you doing, signing a compact with
Jlja satapv- majesty ?**
"^Jot exactly, Nellie," exclaimed the
quondam Jack Sheppard. pulling off his
wig, and disclosing the well-known fea-
tures of Charles Melton. "It is an agree-
ment to our marriage."
For a moment Timothy was thunder-
struck : then as the truth appeared to him,
he stamped and raved like a mftman.
"This is fraud," he exclaimed, "ai>d I re-
tract everything I have said."
"It is impossible," said Melton: "I have
here your written consent, witnessed by all
present."
"Well," said Timothy at last, "I havo
made a fool of myself, to be sure; take
her and say no more about it; but if ever
you catch me afraid of a spirit again, shoot
me, that's all." A
"But, I say, mass'r," criecWmi, putting in
his voice, at this moment, "didn't dem fig-
gers do radder more'n was agreed on ? ha !
ha! ha!—gess somebody else teched der
