III.

During the two months which followed
Alan met Miss Isle frequently. and
various conjeciures as to the possibls chi
mination of affairs were rife among the
mistresses. 1t was evident that Alan
sought Miss Lisle's society on every possi-
BILE occasion. but it was not so evident
whether his attentions met with anv re-
spouse from Miss Isle. They watched in
vain for sign of self-consciousness nnon
her proud face.
Miss Grey was somewhat astonisbed at
Alan's prolonged visit. She expected a
week or fortnight to be the utmost limit
OF his stay.
What is Miss Lisle's Christian name o"
ne asked MS sister abruptly, as they sat in
the garden together one dnsky summer
evening.
Stella" replied Miss Grey. in a startled
voice, light suddenly breaking in upon
her.
Polar stsr!' calculated Alan, and
silence reigned again.
IL wanted but one week to the term end
when Miss Grey gave a. little evening
party, the guests being her own staff of
mlstresses and the masters from the boys
grammar school.
Inns junction occurred once term, and
was vas usually an unqualified success.
Ihey danced in the school hall. and it
was noticed that Alan danced several
waltzes with Miss Lisle.

verted Tor the nonee into a drawing-room.

try little thought-reaoing there. Several
vlctims were blindfolded, and did or did
not obey the will of the medium with
varying success.

quite too unOrihodox. He joined the party
on horseback near the woods and rode be-

Isle.
They lunched. In true picnic fashion,

dignity to preserve. declared Alan "per-
fectly splendid" and romped with him
bOlsterOusly. He was neither too young
nor too old. His blue eyes were so kindly,
his smooth-shaven face so good humored,
and he was so full of fun. Surely no pic
mic had ever been quite so delightful as
this
Tea in the quaint little wood-girt village
was followed by perfect carnival in a
bayfield,. There the wilder spirits buried
Alan. and screamed with delight when he
rose from the mound, bent on vengeance,
and hunted them from one eud of the field
to the other.
Miss Lisle. with "Prometheus Unbound"

have prompted Alan when he dropped

cooliy. looking round for her missing head

Alan fished it out and presented it to her
with deep reverence.

l may digress here TO tell Orief story of
the circumstances that led uD to McCul-
lough's dramatic partnership with Law
renee Barrett. They emphasize the often
used remark about nothing happening but
the unexpected. Manager Tom" Ma
guire, known in the six les as the dramatic
Napoleon of the Pacific Coast, had pur-
chased an interest in a troupe OF japanese
that Professor Dick Risley of immortal
memory had brought over from the Mi
kadO's dominions. He played them in his
new theater, the Academy of Music, on
Pine street, and subsequently. about 1867,
went to London with hem. There he
found Lawrence Barrett in financial
straits.
The actor-student had tried his fortunes
in tue old country, but had failed utterly,
and mainly because he had started in by
playing Hamlet in blue tights, according
to the Liverpool Mercury. He came to
Manager Tom and pleaded ''in forma
pauperls." He wanted 10 60 back to The
United States. Mcguire extricated him
from his financial trouble, gave him an
engagement at his Washing ton-street the
alter and paid his expenses to California.
Here he met Mccullough, and here w. c.
Ralston met them both, and the result was
new dramatic departure in the shape OF
the California Theater. managed by Nc
Cullough and Barrett, and the downfall of
the house of Mcguire.

day in my lie when l befriended that lit

But Mcguire was short in bis reasoning
sometimes. He was IN this case. The
handwriting of his doom had been on the
wall Tor some time, and would have been
accomplished. 1t only so happened that
