affection between stage lovers is of

poets the real feeling which exists
between them. A writer ia the
New Orleans Democrat says he
knew two actors of the opposite sex
who positively disliked each other,
but were forced by their parts into
the most devotional tenderness Of
conduct. One night as he was play
ing at love she was to rush into his
arms being true artist, she did
her work with energy, and between
speeches be muttered You need not
swallow me- She replied, You are
too bitter doze.' While holding
her in fond embrace, wrapped in
delicious transport, he growled in a
whisper, Don't lean so hard against
a man. With her head 10 tender re-
pose upon his breast she retorted,
You are paid for holding me, aud |
intend you shall earn your salary
They never made up and never
married She married another ac>
tor, and cliogs still to the dislike for
the man with whom she plays.

When the latter heard Of her lovers

soul into obtaining proof Of his in

where the robbery had been com
