Der, has been placed in a very awkward
position by the sudden marriage of it's
leading lady. Will you help us out of
our difficulty by taking her place in the
approaching performance of "A Golden
Heart" The part of Sybil would suit
you splendidly. Perhaps you will let me
come and talk the matter over with you
tomorrow evening. If | do not hear
from you by the morning l shall conclude
l have your permission. Believe me,
yours truly, ROBERT MORE.
Marjorie aRymond looked at the let

Pm not sure what | want to do"
said Marjorie, ignoring the latter part
of the sentence. The worst of it is,
I've got to make up my mind at once,
becauSe-let me see, what is it he says?
Oh here: If do not hear from you by
the morning the morning! Why,
that's to-day-now-thi very minute"
HIM! Let me look at the envelope.
Why, that letter was only posted at
midnight, so you couldn't possibly have
got it before this morning"
Consequently, l couldn't possibly let
him know in time If | didn't want him
to call this evening. He might have
thought of that. How stupid of him"
ION the contrary, Madge, it was
rather clever of him." retorted Mr..
Raymond, regarding her humorously.

stepping into Miss Montgomery's
Shoes" she said ''She was quite a
star, you see, and all the male Magpies
are such shining lights; shall feel like
q farthing dip in comparison"
"Why not talk 1t over with More to-
night?" suggested her father. ANY
how, you needn't make up your mind
till then, you know, Madge The press
ing question of the moment is, what
are you going to have for breakfast
Its awfully good of you to come to
the rescue, Miss Raymond" were
Mores first words to Madge that even
ing.
But / Invent said Yes at all yet"
she protested, land I'm not sure that

Then you're far more stony-hearted
than | took you to be. Just think of my
position! Why, I've as good as prom
Used the Magpies to get you for Sybil."
"You know very well you'd no bust
ness to do so. Why, you've never even
seen me act"
''Now, remember what an infallible
physiognomist | am. You've got an
acting face; that's quite sufficient as
surance for me-"
"What nonsense! I'm only a feeble
amateur-that's what Tom calls me
and Sybil is quite beyond me, I'm
sure"
"At least, why not have shot at It?
It's capital part, and you ought to
play it well. Just think of that ex-

Jack and Sybil. Doesn't the thought of
that tempt you?"
ION the contrary, it appals me. hate
those sentimental bits. They don't ap-
peal to me in the least. Pm such a
frightfully prosaic creature myself, you
know"
$50 much the better; then you needn't

be so cruel as to disappoint usY'
"Well, if you put in that way-I don't
want to be dlsagreeable. But, l warn
you, shall never be able to do that
love scene properly"
"You will, with practice. We can
have lots of private rehearsals, IL you
like. My evenings are quite at your
disposal"
"Why, you don't mean to say you're
cast for Jackf oh. how tunny?' And
