"Well, here it is. guess" said Mr..

Birdie, cheerily, es the three met a lit

den stunning report of a pistol, and
then another and another, almost to-

three more directly following. The

pistols, hanging around his shoulders.

Suddenly the mouth of a pistol was

There was a stunning, deafening re-
port almost in his ear. He struck
again blindly with his cutlas. He saw
the flash of sword, and flung up his
guard almost instinctively, meeting
the crash of the descending blade.
Somebody shot from behind him; at
the same moment he saw some one
strike the pirate. One of Maynard's
own men tumbled headlong against
him. and he fell with the man; but al
most instantly he had scram bled TO his

the pirate sloop had drifted little way

THE STAGE DEATH.

A Well-Fquipped Actress Must Know How
 to Die Gracefully.
 Footlights.
 There is something fascinating in well-simulated death scene. The we'll equipped actress must know how to die gracefully and effectively.
 "I have endured many deaths" said Viola Allen to me when l preached the subject of mortuary "reminiscences. "One of them was in "Virginius,' when I am stabbed and fall back to the ground. When I played in "Othello'' with Salvini l was always very nervous during the smoothering scene, because he used to get so excited. I turned my face side ways and held small space open under the further side of the pillow. so that l could breathe but even that breathing hole would frequently get closed up un- der the forceful energy of Salvini. Then, when he finds that he has killed Desde- mona without cause, in remorse he throws himself heavily upon the body. I used to wait for this piece of business with fear and trembling. Salvini's fall was awfully realistic As Juliet have died many times. You know Romeo drinks the poison and subsequently throws the vial away as l approach him; then, seeing him die, I stab myself and fall over him. One night some practical 1OkeT thought II WOulu De tuLily lO III the vial with ink, and as Romeo merely made slight motion of drinking he did not notice the fluid, but when he threw the bottle from him 1t struck somewhere near me, and the ink flew all over my face and lovely white dress. On tha: oc- casion you may be sure that I ended my life with the least possible delay. In La Charbonniere' I died a solw death by poison, and took special care to find ou: the right poison that should be mentioned in the piece as the one which would cause a slow numbing of the senses. As Jess in "Hoodman Blind" I died of starvation and lay on my side well down the stage. This was often an awkward situation, on account of the different cur tans at the various theaters. Some times to avoid my being struck by the curtains the hero would be obliged to drag my body back, and once, though man put out his hand 10 keep the roller away from rna 'ha heavy mass actually grazed mS nose.
