my boardin' house. There was to be
change of bill that night, SO 1 came
back early to get my props in shape.
as / had them to attend to as we'll as
looking after the door. When l came
back to the theater l heard Nellie
Moore playin' a mandolin. She was
always fond of music and carried the
instrument around with her.
"'Now you try she said, and Mer-
Ram answered that he didn't know a
note.
"IH teach you, she said. There's
an air want you to learn and remem-
ber.'
"'All right said Merriam, and he
took the mandolin from her. She
showed him where to place his fingers
and kept humming the tune until he
could play it with only one or two
breaks. Then she went to her dress
ing room to get ready, and Merriam
sat there drumming until the half
hour was called.
THAT night there was good deal
of Misunderstanding, and the word went
around that there was to be weddin'
at Christmas.
THE next night on my way to the
theater I noticed crowd around the
stage door, and heard talk of run
away. I hurried up, and as I did SO
Merriam came out. his face rs white
as a ghosts.
For Gods sake, get doctor.
Jenks!' he cried
II rushed to the nearest drug store,
and, luckily, found one there. When
we got back to the stage door Merriam
was waiting, and. without word, he
led us to a sofa In the wings on which
Nellie Moore was lying. The doctor
bent down over her for minute, shook
his head and said he was too late.
AN understudy played Juliet that
night and Merriam as usual was the
Romeo. The audience didn't know the
real reason for the change, but In the
tomb scene don't see how they could
help feeling 1t.
Those of us who saw it from the
wings will never forget It, The women
were in Mysteries and the stage hands
and fiymen were nearly as bad. I don't
know how Merriam ever lived through

From the homestead of the oil folks

An they'd fill the homestid table when

1t. but this l do know. He was dif-
ferent man from that night. He
seemed TO lose all his ambition and he
withered up so, that when l met him
at a rehearsal two years later, hardly
knew him. He was bent much as you
see him now, and was playing char
acter old men. Every year he dropped
down further until they wouldn't trust
him with anything better than bits
and servants. Yes, sir, and that old
man has played Romeo with the best
of them"
The story was finished. but the man
dolin still tinkled. The leading mans
face was drawn, and jerks sat think
ing. Perhaps the former was thinking
of his own high tide of prosperity, and
OF what the future had in store for
him.
But sympathy and curiosity are
closely allied. and soon the two men
were tiptoeing through the PASSAGE
way. They paused before the old act
or's room. A ray of light filtered
through a crack in the thin pine door.
Merriam was dressed and made up for
a comedy servant. His green livery
coat hung on a peg on the wall, and
the red wig with which he covered
his own white hair lay on the dressing
table before him. There, too, was a
faded photograph of pure-faced girl
in the dress of Juliet. The actor was
bent over his mandolin and the lead
ing man now caught the tune for the
first time, broken. but recognizable.

Twang! There was the sound of a
broken string.
First act! All up for the first act!"
The callboy came tumbling down the
passage and the listeners hurried up to
the stage. A few minutes later the
callboy came up, too, and he found
the stage manager Tuning.
Where's Merriam" he cried. II
can't hold the curtain all night for that
doddering old fool. Hurry him up,
will you?"
The boy disappeared, and rcappeared
almost instantly.

choked his voice and he got no further.
The stage manager made a rush for
the stairs. Ten minutes later he came
up dressed for the comedy servant,
but the man whose name was down
on the bills for the part lay in his
dressing room clutching an old man
dolin. with his eyes fixed on a faded
photograph.
