all-Something did happen many years ago
CASTOR has told me OF his love-l know
! the secret of his life
But look 1T Pearl silenced me. a death
like pallor had overspread her face, her
eyes were closed, she had risen and was
cinging to the back of Gaston's chair. She
seemed ready TO fall, when that instant
Gaston'S voice rang out:
Cousin Jules, Cousin Jules, where are
you!"
AS he entered his den in order to get by
me he was obliged to close the door par
tally He gave it little stronger push
than was necessary. 1t went completely
shut with low click. We three beings
stood there absolutely alone, shut out from
the rest of the world as completely as if we
were alone in the heart of some vast wilder
ness.
\ strange expression, half joy, half pain,
had overspread Pearls face as Gaston's
voice sounded in the neXtroom Their eyes
met-hers wet with tears, his red and
swollen. I know not how il all happened,
so bewildered was l, SO entranced 1T the
thought of what might happen, but ! heard
CASTOR cry out, Pearl! Pearl!'' and saw
his arms stretched out to her, saw her
throw herself into them with snothered
exclamation of JOY, saw their lips meet!

cry of GaSton'S.

and L turned to get glass of water, when
an agonlzlng cry Snote my ears:
My God! Jules. Pearl is deadI"
When we returned from Pere Ia Chaise
to that desolate house, CASTOR asked me to
follow him into his room. He unlocked q
drawer in his desk, took out miniature of
Pearl, an ivory box containing u mass of
siIken curls, cut from her head when a
child, and q large envelope filled with securi-
ties representing PEARLS fortune-about
200. coo francs.

twined his arm tenderly about my neck,

THE GREATEST ACTOR.

The Successful Tramp Has Qualities That
Make Him tho Peer of Many.
Best actors are not always members of
the dramatic profession. The end aimed
at in acting is the snatching of page from
book of real life. But a majority of
actors on the stage fail to secure a page
from the right book, and are therefore
not ifelike, while the ''of stager," with
the actual necessities of life before him,
rarely fails to produce the effect at which
he aims Take the tramp. In the street
he Is burly and abusive; he is off duty. The
next moment he goes into an Office and ap-
pRoaches man at desk. Is he burlys
No, he's lamblike now, for he is on duty.
On his face there is an expression of most
acute anxiety, softened by a melancholy
toning of sweet resignation. How bag
gard he looks! What tremulous sugges-
ton of long and patient suffering does his
voice convey! He is lame, and any one can
see that he has pain in his back, and that
his liver is out of order. He has no home,
no friends, no money. Days have passed
since he has eaten a morsel, and in his eyes
there turks the blighting light of gaunt
despair. Can it be possible that this is the
man who yesterday frightened farmers
wife half to death and caused a whole
neighborhood to rise up in arms? Is this
the man who was hershly fined by coun
try justice of the peace and sent to do
drudgery on the county farm?
Yes, he is the man, but how changed
His rough beard, which then seemed to
stand out in malicious and revengeful de-
fancs, is now an expresser of subdued pow
erty, and the club which a few days ago he
so combatively tlourished over the head of
a boy that had hesitated about bringing
him something to eat is now a meek staff
of necessary support. The man at the
desk knows the fellow. He knows that
the fellow is a monstrous fraud, yet he
cannot help but admire so perfect piece
of acting. The fellow is playing for some
thing to satisfy want, and what more
can be attributed to the stage man?
81 have gone days without food" says
the tramp, land am almost starved. If

to his eyes, but with a masterful effort he
conquers his emotions. Il don't like to
ask you, but amt able to work. had a
job, but had to give it up on account Of
sickness. I have had fever, and amt able
to be out now"
The man knows that the fellow hasn't
been sick, and that he doesn't want any
thing to eat, and though he may refuse the
ten cents, yet he cannot help but admire
the fine piecs of acting. Has Booth ever
been so lifelike, and would not study Of
