thought Of myself, and my love for her.
Yes, I was convinced from that moment
that the hand of destiny was in it, and
that benign and alI-wise Providence
had seen fit IN his extraordinary way
to open my eyes to the path of happi-
ness and peace.
With the morning light fresh fears
came upon me lest my unconscious
roommate might yet peer beneath the
bed for robbers before she left the
room; but my fears were groundless.
She rose and dressed cxpeditiously, for
she was to join her cousins at an early
breakfast. and she had oversight her
self. When at last she took the key,
unlocked the door and departed, l lost
no time in slipping out of my shameful
place of concealment, and escaping
from the hotel. On the stairs [ met
Fred coming out of his room, who ex-
claimed:
"Why, what's the matter with you,
old fellow You look like the last days
of an ill-spent life. And your coat, too
why it's all over feathers and dust.
Where have you been?"
"Why, | slept-slept out last night;
that's all. Our house is full, and so |
had to find quarters elsewhere. Pm
going home to dress"
Il should sayso, decidedly. see it
all, old fellow! You've been on a lark,
and had to put up In the watch-house;
come now, own up and tell Us all about
| it."
"No lark at all, Fred; nothing of the
kind, I assure you"
swell if not a lark what kind of a
bird was it? From the looks of the fea-
theirs, I should say it was a goose"
"You're the goose; Fred. But, seri-
ously, I've a word to say to you Of a
most important nature. Be a man,
Fred, and make up your mind to hear
something excessively disagreeable. 1t
must be told you sooner or later, and |
may as we'll tell it now"
"Good Heavens, Gus how earnest
you look at me; you don't mean to say
that-that anything has happened to
| Belle BronsOn?'
Don't mention her name again, Fred,
or think of her any more, for she'll
never be anything to you. [ have it
! from one who knows all about it, that
she has long been attached to somebody
else, and that somebody else means to
marry her. There's no mistake about
it; SO bear UP and try your luck else
where"
But Fred Evans was not to be dis
couraged by mere hearsay. That very
day ne went to see Belle, determined to
know his fate from her own lips. Soon
after he left Oakville and l did not see
him again for several years, when, meet
ing him in town one day, [ insisted on
bringing him home with me and pre-
senting him to his old fame, Belle
Bronson-the present Mrs. Evergreen.
'Ah, Fred !" said he, after dinner,
when my wife and the little Evergreens
had left us to ourselves-"Ah, Fred,
you served me shabby trick when you
allowed me to lose my heart to the girl
you were all along intending to marry
yourself-a very shabby trick, one of
which [ never suspected you !"
So I had to tell him lin strict conf
dence, of course, as [ tell you reader)
all about the bedroom affair at the Oak
vile Hotel, and the love that grew out
Of it.

DRAMATIC AND RAILWAY AGENTS.

NEW DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION AGENTS AND
MANAGERS LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE
MEETING AT THE WESTMINSTER HOTEL.
number of the managers and agents of theatrical
combinations. who every year spend much of their
time on the railways of the country, assembled at
the Westminster Hotel yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of organizing protective association that
has for its object mutual arrangement with the
many railways in the United States whereby both
may derive benefit from their use of each other On
the one hand it is said that the dramatic companies
annually spend for travelling purposes anywhere
from 100000 to S5O0.000. On the other hand. the
railway people alege that they imposed upon by
individuals who claim tho privileges heretofore al
lowed to the dramatic profession, and thus suffer
loss, trequen never seeing their pay. To check
the imposition the railway agents considering
the proprety of applying full rates to all companies.
To preve Mt this ruinous act the managers and
agents have organized as above stated and propose
by their rules to draw sharp line between the good
and the bad between the legitimate members Of the
profession aud the impostors and thus to indicate
the railway authorities that while they desire the
cheapest rates that be afforded they also wish
to cut loose from any and every organization to
which may attach the suggestion Of fraud. Beyond
the process of organization. discussion OF its pros
poets and the appointment OF committee nothing
was done. The committee consists OF Mr.. j. H.
Haverly and Mr.. Robert Miles, 10th well known and
influential gentlemen in the profession These are
expected to confer with the railway people. receive
their views and make an early report. 1t is not
believed that when those who represent the rail
ways fully understand the question and appreciate
the many expenses incidental to the removal from
point to point OF company of professionals legiti
mately employed, they will interpose the new rule
that has been suggested, and that reconsideration
OF the subject matter will result change OF mind
The meeting was organized by the appointment of
Mr.. L. NJ. Gotthold as president and Mr.. D. Froh-
man secretary. committee Of three will draft a
constitution and bylaws, and ut the next meeting
ports from all parts of the country expected. A
national organization Will then be made Only those
who genuinely represent the reputable combinations
will be admitted. This action. 1t is believed will be
the equivalent Of carte blanche to the many railways
of the continent and restore the confidence
in tho integrity of dramatic people that to
have been somewhat lost. The result of the differ
ences between these dramatic and railway agents
will probably be reached within couple OF weeks.
