course, | acquiesced. Down narrow,
shadowy passage we went, then turned
abruptly to climb short stairway. A
door opened, and we were in the outskirts
of stageland, in place full of strange OBJ
jects, dimly lighted by couple of flicker
ing gas jets. place damp, musty, chilly,
and generally comfortless. Men and wom-
en-, muf1ed to the ears, came out of the
depths beyond and hurried by us.
aChorus, Tanning explained, briefly.
''Others will be along pretty quick
A man walked into the space which the
Gas jet pretended to illuminate He was
a queer, dried up specimen of humanity,
with u thin, clean-shaven face, remarkable
for irregularity of features aud eyebrows
Of marvellous business. \ hiahh at with

on his head very short overcoat, lavishly
fnrred as to the collar and cuffs, was but
toned up to his chin; and below this gar
ment radiated pair of close fitting plaid
trousers.
Manager of the company, Tanning
whispered as preface to formal presen-
tation to Mr. Montmorency-Smyth, who
took off his hat and made a sweeping bow.
ANY friend of Mr. Tanning is welcome,
doubly welcome" the manager began
affably, but he got no further for the critic
brushed by him, almost upseting the little
man in his haste to greet three women who
had just come upon the scene. Montmor
ency Smyth regained his balance and kept
his temper although his hat was knocked
from his hand
All, youth, youth impetuous youth
Ever ready to worship at the shrine of
beauty and genius. What power can
Withstand thy onslaught or bar thy way"
He put the question in way that seemed
to demand an answer
Il don know of any, | said, rather
feebly As he picked up his hat, Tanning
and the ladies came up, and there were
more introductions-to Miss Yunella, pri
ma donna; to Miss Harris, the contralto
of the company, and to Mrs. Landers,
plump, good natured person, who played
frisky widow. Then the tenor (stage
name Alonzo Rafael) joined us.
Mr. Tanning does us the honor kindly
to bid US sup with him, the manager an
bounced. in the name of the ladies and
gentlemen of the company now present |
have accepted his fattering hospitality; and
at his request, unspoken, yet clearly ur-
gent, | say to the festal board at once. >
The festa' board proved to be spread in
private room Of a neighboring restaurant.
There was a trace Of stiffness about the
party at first, but it wore off speedily, and
when the glasses had sounded tinking
accompaniment to mutual good wishes and
growing prophecies of great achievements
for the company, we came to be on very
good terms As acquaintance ripened we
gradually split up in,o little groups. The
host and the two young women formed one
of these, the tenor and Mrs Landers

our chairs close together Montmorency-
Smyth, at his ease and with his cares for

ssshe is woman in thousand, in ten
thousand, in million; as good as gold, as
true as steel; welded to her art and loving
it with heart whole devotedness. y
With my eyes on Tanning | couldn'
resist saying But perhaps some young

uThen the ladies have deluded you p
.sSeven times : he answered fiercely.
He might have said more, but the others
of the party had risen, and Tanning was
tapping on the table.
s'Before we part, said the host, Il
want to ask you all to drink a toast-er-
to the prosperity Of the Ideals, and-er-
may YOU get the success you deserve.
When the glasses were emptied, Mont

thrust his right hand into the breast Of his
coat. actions which brought prompt protest

parted from the others at the door OF their
hotel, twhat have you been about tonight?
Why this burst of hospitality? What do
you think Of the Ideals chances, anyway?
Chances? They re booked for two
weeks here They'll break up then as
sure as fate And he strobe along,
whistling merrily as if impending dissolu-
ton pleased him nightly.
| saw nothing of the company for sew
eral days, but then, dropping in to hear
them one evening, perceived clearly
enough that Tanning was likely to prove a
true prophet Down in front there was a
fringe of revenue-b bringing humanity, and
in the rear of the house was another, but
between them dawned Il wide tract Of
empty seats. Even up stairs things were
equally unpromising Montmorency-S -Smyth
no longer led the orchestra-the fact was,
he was no musician, his appearance as con-
ductor en- the opening night having been
due to a theory that his handling of the
baton lent impressiveness to the production
There was no difficulty in getting card to
him between the acts, and his greeting was
hatteringly cordial. though he seemed
careworn and nervous. Business had been
disappointing, he acknowledged. The
newspapers had been MISUNDERSTANDING S

had held aloof The people had developed
an astonishing disregard for true art.

little man observed; but and he pulled

A LUCKLESS MANAGER.
From New York Times.

Once more right had prevailed and wrong
had come to grief. Sorely tried but
triumphant soprano virtue and mallgned
but vindicated tenor heroism had been
reunited in the midst of picturesque
peasantry, singing in chorus and almost in
time. Black -mustached villainy had been
dragged away to meet his fate, his parting
defiance unduly abridged by the two lusty
gentlemen of the supernumerary corps who
would persist in modelling medieval retain
ers after end-of-t f-the-century policemen.
The curtain had fallen, the little man in
evening dress who had led the orchestra
through the second act had slipped ont Of
the HIGH chair and vanished, and the mu
sicians, unaided or unhampered BY con
ductor were playing the audience out OF
the house, saving away at THE Star
Spangled Banner with the energy OF
men getting union wages and earning them
conscientiously
.'Don't be in hurry, Tanning said
to me. Let the crowd get ont first.
Itn give me a chance to finish this thing.
He was scribbling briskly on a pad OF
yellow paper such as The Record furnished
for the use of its staff, covering the pages
with the lines and dots and dashes which
had helped to put spectacles on halt The
Records compositors He was quick
workman, and by the time the house had
emptied itself his criticism was completed.
making it short 2 asked, as we
moved toward the door.
Eyes, only stick and half Great
shame, too, he answered.
Now the performance had not been inn
pressive. and Tanning had earned a repu
tation for something approaching captious-
ness as a critic. So | asked, carelessly,
to what extent he deigned to make the
members of the company regret their fate
in existing.
ssNot at all, he said, with more en-
phasis than appeared to be called for.
"There : no reason to roast them. They re
on the right track They re giving us

which ism all horseplay and high kicking

forgive that I'm going TO give them a
fair, honest notice. I've no right to do
ANYTHING else. But, excuse me for a
moment.
Tanning stepped into the Office Of the
theatre. When he reappeared his little
bundle of yellow paper was not to be seen.

remarked. by the way, old man, how

You We time for it, haven't you?
Inasmuch as Tanning, on several oeca-
sions, had declined to heed the broadest of
hints that | should enjoy the novelty Of a
trip on the other side of the curtain, and
had spoken with great contempt Of his
brethren who indulged in such diversions,
his proposal took me by surprise. But, OF

one of the old-time excursions by the
steam cars to the lake, which We're big

five hundred skaters at Lake Whitney
yesterday afternoon and five or six
hundred in the evening.
