Her Woman's VIII Defeated

A theatrical man tells the following
story. He did not attempt to vouch
for its truth, so the writer does not,
merely giving it here for what it is
worth as an illustration offs woman's
will. The man who told the story al
SO disclosed then ames ofthose about
whom it is related. but owing to the
doubt about the absolute veracity of
the tail it would not be fair to mention
tho names. Suffice it to say that
one was an Gctor and the other an
actress, ard both very well known
to the public. So call the actor Y,
because that is about rs far as ono
can get from his name, and the ac-
tress Miss A, because her name
is nothing like that either.
Miss A besides being perhaps
the most pro minent chararter in the
play was also tie stage manager. and
it was she who regulated Mr.. Y-'s
GALAXY.
Now y had long contended that
aiiS y Wdb AOt OuC-lltsll NlluJ IL
should be, and Miss A. declared
as firmly that this was neither here
nor there, for the salary would re-
main unchanged. This condition of
affairs did not make the two love
each other as good christians are ex-
pected to do. Such scenes as these
(behind the flies, of course), became
frequent:
when are you going to raise my
salary"
"Never."
"All right, then. leave you to-
morrow"
Every well, why don't your"
Or the war might be varied to this
form:
Are you going to raise my salary
this week."
"No"
"Next week?"
"No."
"When?"
"Never."
That determined "never" was Ii
disagreeable check to the argument.
Finally y worked out sub-plot
in the play. In one act he, the noble
hero, carried Miss A. from a top
story to the ground down ladder.
One night when this scene came on
he stepped upon the round OF the lad
der as usual. holding in his arms his
fair burden. But instead of coming
down quickly as usual, as a vigor-
GUS, invincible hero should, he
stopped.
"Now," ne whispere d in her ear,
raise my salary"
Never"
Raise my salary or drop YOU"
Here was n crisis. Two things were
in danger-the success of the scene
and the actress bones.
''Raise my salary or drop you"
The "house" was waiting. Miss A
closed her eyes.
"Never!" she said, and he carried
her safely down the ladder.-New
