CHAPTER XIV.
BIRD TAKES UP HER CUE.


Remember" said Freda to Daisy, al
the performance was about to begin, dom
act, keep cool; mind your business, dom
speak till you are sure you have your cue
and, if you leave out anything, don't gc
back for it"
Poor Daisy was white through her make
up; trembling and breathing in short gasps
"Give her some whisky" said TRADE.
"And make her sicki Go away"
"Oh, what shall do?" painted Daisy.
''Don't gasp, for one thing; it only makes
you more scared. Breath slow and strong, u
and as Daisy began futtering the leaves Of
her part, '1et your part alone, you can't
learn any more now, and you only add to
your fdgets."
"Freda, I can't control myself.
''Self control" said Freda, sis at best
and at first suppressing display of emotion.
Keeping quiet physically will make you
quiet mentally. Do it.
Daisy began to whisper, while the
muscles of her face twitched. At this
Freda said,
"Look here, Daisy You're going to be
calm or in Mysteries before five minutes, ac-
cording to whether you take my advice or
go on starting and gasping, and walking up
and down."
By dint of hard-hearted talk like this
Freda got the girl through to her first cue.
AS lend of my rope" sounded, Daisy, with
sudden stifening of every muscle, walked
on the stage humming, as Freda had
directed; only she hummed ooh where, oh
where" instead of the suggested melody.
At the sound Of her own voice and the COM
forting observation that her feet were NOV
ing all right, confidence, like dove Of
peace, settled upon her. The audience
melted from her thoughts. She was con-
scious of soft orange glow in front of her,
like luminous curtain fringed with the
wavering footlights. Her own identity
faded, and the scene went smoothly, even
charmingly. every well, my dear, very
WELL" said Kildare, giving her a slight
squeeze before he dissolved the curtain
picture, land your dress is charming, too"
"Don't feel too sure" Freda warned, as
she hastily pinned on the ''drapery waist"
and adjusted the borrowed train.
For all that, Daisy waited impatiently for
the cue. This was her 'big scene;" in this
she would show them.
'Let her come in" said the Nabob
Daisy flung the door open and came in
flying. There was a scene brace across the
door though, and over this she tripped In
spite of the stumble she gathered herself,
but the pause had given the door time to
close on her train. By the time she had
freed herself all courage for "fying in" had

words from the stage her face ightened.
The cue was upon her. She lifted the
drapery, and stood in the light of the stage.
A STIR went through the house at sight OF
the slender, nerve-sustained figure, with
great earnest eyes and stsr-crowned brow.
The people on the stage fell back. She
motioned the nabob aside and with head
erect and unfaltering step, came to her ap-
pointed place. Her shining, eyes were fixed
on Kildare. In that moment all faded from
her but his face. She lifted her arms
toward him.
81 am comer' she said, and then again,
more loudly, 81 am comeP'
With this she swayed, her eyes showed
white, and she fell upon her face.
The curtain rang down. Freda lifted
Bird, and turned her face. A trail of blood
came from between the clenched teeth.
"She is deadP' Freda moaned. Then she
stood and pointing at Kildare she cried:
'tAnd that coward there has killed herr

departed, and she battered weakly to hel
father" slumped on her knees and won
dered if her feet were free from her dress
The Nabob's eyes were fixed expectantly on
her. A pail of horror crossed her brain. d
course, of course, she ought to speak The
Nabob roared the line in her ears. She
gathered herself and spoke it, but her conf.
dence was gone. When she rose she found
herself jammed between her fathers chair
and her tangled train. Her mouth was dry
and she could not wet it. An awful hush
seemed around her through which her own
voice piped quaveringly. The 'house''
was alternately black yawning vault and
fiame-streaked space. Now and then the
! heads of the musicians and the handle of
the bass viol showed like demons swimming
,, in sea Of flame. The footlights gave her
that idea, she supposed, and, having
stopped to suppose that, her lines left her.
| A panic-struck thought of running away
came. To get away-where? Anywhere
dark and quiet Then the words started
again. They didn't sound like sense, but
she was glad to voice whatever came in her
| head. The Nabob evidently got his cue all
right, for he made his exit.
Poor Daisy felt herself deserted in a
jungle of India with wild animals all around
her. She fought desperately through the
stream of words, her arms swinging here
and there, she went down on her knees for
the prayer part, and thought she heard a
pin give way. Then the page she had
studied appeared before her. She thanked
her Maker, and read wildly from the phan-
tom manuscripts When the words blurred
she made up At the end, mindful of
Freda's directions, she rose and backed into
the calcium. She heard more pins go, and she
was a good deal out of wind, but she braced
for final effort, With her last breath she
shouted huskily:
"T will marry the Duker''
Of course it should have been Count.
She realized that at once, and as the curtain
descended corrected herself in q shrill
squeak, which fortunately, the curtain music
drowned.
''Oh FredaT she walled, IT shall never
be an actress"
'tNever mind1 It wasn't so bad. Lucky
used safety pins, wasn't it?''
"But Jut out the whole plot saying
DukeP"
ooh, we'll, that doesn't hurt the play.
Most of them expected you to say Count
and probably thought you did say Count
The rest didn't hear anyhow"
Daisy's nerve was gone though. Even
her coming wordless scene seemed too
much for her. Ahl how delusive were the
tales Of the joys of acting and the triumphs
of underst1diesl Freda managed to get
her on and off two or three times, the last
time saying:
''Your next ends it, remember the Nabob
brings you on"
Daisy stood faint and trembling, saying
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-09-20
herself that in little while it would be

to herself that in little while it would be
over.
'Tt comes in aminute," Freda whispered,
passing near the entrance.
Daisy's heart thumped heavily. Just
then startled murmer from the girls be-
hind her caught her attention
The girls ('1adies of rank, /" on the pro-
gramne) who, BY entering with her. were
of chalked shoulders and such luxurious
impression as their property dresses could
convey, were all, with widened eyes, look
ing down the long hall which terminated at
the stage door. Up this hall, with rapid
steps came a white clad, diamond-lighted
figure whose soft hair and strained face
showed clearer as she neared the glare of
the wings.
