And as the audience dispersed that
night it seemed to Mr.. Freelance, as he
stood alert and watchful in the lobby,
that there was but one name on every
tongue, and that Kitty's sweet face and
infantile art had made their way into
the very heart of an always tickle public.
"You We're right about her, Billy,

the stage door.

Hardup footing the bill and Mr.. Free

Of the evening.
Kitty Sullivan was, as the eminent
dramatic critic had observed, an old
hand at the business, despite the fact
that she was but years of age, for she
had been born and brought up on the
stage and was as much at home in the
presence of great audience as an or
binary child is before nursery. As the
piece went ON she realized that she was
making a hit--a far greater one than
she had ever made beforehand, young

the play, sent distinct thrill through
the entire house, and then came such an
outburst of spontaneous applause as had
not been heard in the Jollity theater for
