"Mr. Galbraith," said Edie that
evening, "you must write to Mr.. Ed
dngton and tell him that If l NAV
make some alterations in his work it
will suit me. I'll make It suit you, too,
/ promise"
Max replied eagerly that of course
they could do as they liked with his
play. However, when the manager urg-
ed him to come to London for rehears-
ais, Max declined,
Success or failure is So much to
me-" he wrote, that daren't show my
face in the theatre until the British
public has uttered its decree"
1t was strange how these and the
like words affected Edie. She determln-
ed to make such a study of her part
as should win for Max all the fame he
wanted. Also, she imbued her col
leagues with the like enthusiasm.
The result was splendid. In a week
the Loves of Poet" was one Of the
plays everyone was rushing to see.

Then suddenly her feelings over
powered her.
"Why did you not write and tell me
you were hard up, MAXI" she said, re-
proachfully.
"To Miss Burden, Edie?"
"Oh, 1 forgot. Will you forgive me
my deceit?"
Forgive you! What do not owe you?
What a woman you are, Edle; as clev-
er as you are beautiful and good. l
feel-I feel as If a new epoch had begun
for me-"
He spoke with great enthusiasm.
And I also, Max" she answered. "I
have something to live for now-your
plays"
She said these words as an after
thought.
You are not serious, Edie?"
zone Is never serious, you know,
Max" said she, echoing one of his an
cient phrases, but with the glimmering
of tears in her eyes.

1t was now that chance threw them
together again.
There was question of a new play
for Edie. She and the manager looked
through many that were submitted 20
them. Max had sent his play also, at a
venture; he fancied the heroine might
suit a woman of Miss Burdens reputa-
ton.
Edie's heart had a wild time when
this play was received.
I'm going to take II home, Mr.. Cal
braith," she said, land give IL nv
most earnest consideration. used TO
know him; but don't let him know
that"
She cried a good deal that afternoon,
for 1t was plain to her that Max had
put his own experiences into his work
once more.
The plot OF the play centered round
a poor but magnanimous poet and the
two women whom he loved. In the last
act, Just before the poet shot himself,
the one woman mad scorned his love
and given him money, and the other
had told him that he was too late--she
was already married.
There was strong situations in the
play.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-01-10

1t was now that Max crossed the
channel and witnessed his own work,
without word TO anyone.
He was profoundly moved by Edie's
portrayal Of his heroine-the woman
who could not marry the hero because
she was already married. But to his
surprise he found that his play ended
happily I'm her marriage to the poet.
Edie had cut out the distressing and
obstructive parts; and he saw that by
SO doing she had saved him.
He sat on, when the crowd was leav-
ing the theatre. There was something
about Miss Burden that excited him.
When at length he moved it was TO
send his card 10 Miss Burden.
She saw him In her dressing-room,
and he now recognized her in an in
stant.
"Edie!" he cried. And not to guess

"A play in play, isn't it?" she said,
smilingly.

Then Edie sat down and watched

ference between Commissioner Kasson,

the Colonial authorities, and when this
is given the formal signing of The nsira-
ment will occur The Jamaican Tariff
Commission left this afternoon, going
first TO ottawa to confer with the Cam
dian authorities.
All parties concerned in the ncgotia-
tons here have been placed under the
strictest reserve. and II Is said that the
discussion Of the details of the conven-
ton just concluded might prove preju-
dcal to both countries. Ii is known,
however, that the convention concluded
to-day is under section Of the Dinglcy
tariff law, providing for reciprocity trea-
ties, and is not a mere 'drrangs ment"
as provided for by section B. OF The act.
The concessions given TO Jamaica differ
materially from those allowed the other
British West Indian colonies, 'lainly be-
cause Of the recent tariff law. enacted by
jamaica. which had special application
to the United States.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July Con
trary to expectations Of the Treasury Of

ceeded the receipts by only 1855 $50.
One month ago the officials predicted that
the deficit might not exceed 100000, 900,
but at no time up TO a few days ago was
1t expected the amount would be less
than $95,0OOO 600. This unlocked for result
Is accounted for by exceptionally heavy
receipts from customs and internal reye-

expenditures.
1t is not expected that this condition
will continue during the coming months,
when the new appropriations become
available A deficit for July may be
looked for. although there was surplus
