an old actor. whose recollections Of half

chance Of his life when he was In the

For some days he had been living on
bread and water, and he was weak and i'll.
Then news came to him that Mr.. Betty
had declined his part ut Drury Lame.
Mr.. Robins was sent for. The play was
"Richelieu," and he had never appeared
in Il. shylock was his fayorite char.
acter. and he begged that the play might
be changed. But this could not be done
and In twenty-four hours the unknown
actor had to learn the enormous part
He sat mp all night, and next morning
he was letter perfect, but he had eater

His voice deserted him, the performance
was failure, and at the close he wal
taken away 10 bed and long period q

his success Dame Fortune showed how
sickle she could be.--Dramatic Letter.
