orcnestra had died away. A boy had just passed
through the entry and announced that the cur.

open with his head bent forward listening for his

Major Better now darted through the door out of
the dressing-room his practised ear having caught
his cue, and the next minute his hearty "But, be
Gao, san," could be heard the stage followed by
the burst or applause that greeted the favorite.
When the act was over and the Major strolled back

attention to his surroundings. Each man in the

The capitol and the principal street. Every time
we heard carriage come we would say, THAT

Fellows In the room with us would roar and
laugh. They had been there for months, and had

called us fresh fish,"
Here the curtain was ru1g up for the second act,

reporter thanked him for hts courtesy. and the
next minute he was again before the footlights.
