stage companions only than it viii be IN a

Andras said that in English, and with q
strong French accent. The writer here
wishes to inform the reader that she is COM
posing this story in her native French Ian
guage. 1t will be transferred into English
TOR my American readers by collaboration.
Whether he will undertake to spell out my
hero's Freneh-English do not know, but
L fancy that he will not, because Andras
spoke not grotesquely, but merely with a
French accent, to print which would make
him out more or less comical speaker,
while he was anything but that. So the
reader will please to imagine, whenever
words are imputed to Andras, that they are
uttered with French infections and accents,
although they may be printed in perfect
English.
Forgive me if seem to imply a doubt
that you will acquit yourself excellently, t"
Miss Delware proceeded, and not without
manifesting desire to treat the handsome
Frenchman considerably. ST haven't any
such fear. But it seems odd that Mr.. Ort-
ley should have accepted an utter novice for
an important part. How did it happen?'

That Is within the boundaries, as you may
know, of what has become New York

the sign boards, saw French people in the
streets, and felt less foreign than had ex-
pected to. Whenever ventured outside of
this region, of course 1 found myself in a
strange city of a strange land. But had

other was startled.
"Oh, nothing At all, - he replied, forcing
a careless air. 81 was wondering whether
our Frenchman can help enacting just the
kind of Frenchman we want in the play.
A good-lookipg fellow, isn't he? And Miss

name Of Mrs. Warduf, "seems interested In

Now, Ortley was playing the role Of Iag0,
seeking to impIant the seeds Of jealousy in
stead of eradieating them, and for this
course he had two reasons. He was some
what in love with Helen himself, and would
have been glad to set up between the hus-
band and wife diseord which should
eventually estrange them. Secondly, he
had faith In the solid success OF the actress,
and wished to get profitable control OF her,
excluding the husband from both the mari
tai and business partnerships.

went on; 'she is good enough wife She

The remainder 1 borrowed from friend,

paid out as much, or more, than the cost Of
floating us out of town could possibly come
to. She is no fool, and. while ready enough
to stand the expenses of her stage ambition,
she has a pretty clear idea of what those ex-
penses ought to be. As she has already
made me a liberal allowance for personal
expenditure, beside advancing some hun
dreds to cover gambling losses that con-
fessed to, I don't think it judicious to strike
her for more. But you must let me have it,

himself in her esteem.
II couldn't think of it, Warduff shortly
responded. 81 mean to get along with my

unusual thing in the theatrical professionf
Well, then we shall be exceptional. My wife

"Yes-if it has the signature of Helen Dell

He tore leaf out of a memorandum book

to WarduH the pocket fountain pen which he
had used in writing, and indicated where he
should sign. which he did.

Constantinople is the center OF Turkish
business, and it is the pivot around which
the whole Mohammedan world revolves
Situated as it is, partly in Asia and partly
in Europe, it forms the connecting link Of
the two great civilizations, and its popu-
lation is the most cosmopolitan on the face
of the globe. The straits of the Bosphorus
which connect the big Black Sea with the
little sea of Marmora wind in and out like
a wide river leween Europe ard Asia.
They are bordered by beautiful hills which
slope down in places almost precipltously
to the water, and their natural scenery COM
pares very favorably with the best bits
along the Rhine and the Danube. AT the
beginning OF these straits there is lofty
peninsula containing the area Of two or
three good sized farms, the greater part of
the northern side of which is separated
from the main body of Europe by long
inlet of water which winds around like
horn and which is known as the famous
Golden Horn of Constantinople
The lower side of the peninsula is washed
by the sea of Marmora and its upper edge
blocks the waters of the Bosphorus. Stand

His Wife Makes Him Tell the Truth About
His Fishing.


He had just come from a days fishing in
the perch pond, and was in the act of OPEN
ing his mouth to tell OF his exploits, when
his wife, closing the book which she had
been reading said:
''Oh! it's you, George, dear. I'm glad
to see you back. twas so dull with you

"No, Mary" he answered. II didn't
catch thing, but thought, as 1 went out
out to get fish, We might as well have a
string, so 1 called at the fish store and
bought these"
She said she was glad to get the fish, and
talked to him with much cheerfulness: but
he was gloomy and pre-occupied, and
scarcely said a word in reply, and, in a
short time, giving the excuse that he was
tired, went off to bed.

caust, and had been generally considered
good man.
Lately he had decided that he would
strike out for original methods and thus In
crease his salary. He had noticed how well
it paid to do the detective reporter style OF
work, and SO he thought he would do some
of it. He had come on from an interior
city and other newspaper men had told him
that to get on rapidly he should do some
difficult thing and then write 1t up. Other
people had tried in New York, but failed
because they just tackled the old reliable
stock of dime museums, elevated railroad,
Castle Garden and the park, so he ought to
do some daring and dangerous act, after
which he could write it up and get big pay
for it.
He tried it gently by riding on a street
car all day ard talking with the driver and
conductor. He picked out good-natured
looking driver and bright conductor on a
Broadway car, and rode all one afternoon
with them,

spent their evenings acting in theaters, and a
good. part of their days in transit from city to

A NEW LINE.

Then it occurred to him to get etsmuggledi into
g dissecting class. He had heard that the
classes in anatomy at one of the big colleges
were very much depraved, aud that they
played baseball with the heart of the SUBJ
Ject, and when they went to lunch, in order
to prevent fellow-students frol swiping
their pipes and chewing tobacco, many of
them concealed these articles during the
lunch hour in the thorax of said subject.
He decided, therefore, that, ghastly as the
subject was, he would have to do it, After
good deal of delay he got permission as a
friend only to visit the dissectlng rooms as a
young visiting physician from Philadel-
phia. He desired to reveal the true horrors

had made an ass of himself by interviewing
TWO other reporters on a street car, and
hlled the columns of the press with horror
over an imaginary tale of woe. well calcu-
lated to injure the street car line.
SO he did not try to investigate the
!nebriate's home at all. He just stayed
for few days at a little inebriate's home
OF his own, and tried to make his wife be-
neve that he told her about the origin of the
trouble.
He hired out then for day or two as
assistant to timer. and went with him to
assist him in putting tin patch on the
country seat OF wealthy man. Here he
got to thinking once more of his old work
and also of the great field for usefulness in
the detective line. First he thought he
would try it as stowaway, but he only
tried one vessel and found that another
paper had a representative there, and
one stowaway was really all that the vessel
would accommodate.
