How can we walk in the narrow path

word of commentator by the stage
manager for the way she carried her
self in the ball scene. She was not a
bit frightened and was worried only
lest somebody in the audience might
recognize her. But that would be i'm
possible with her makeup 1t ran
along very nicely until the third night,
when as she glanced out at the audi

OF Tom. Yes, Tom, right there in the
fourth row in the parquet. In her
surprise and CONSERVATION she dropped
her fan and nearly upset the scene.
She stood staring at the familiar face
as In trance until harsh voice from
the wings recalled her.
Pick up that fan, you - lobster.
Pick it up quick and come out of that
trance or I'll wiring your internal
neck. There amt no ghosts out

1t was the stage manager, and she
recovered herself instantly, picked up
the fan gracefully, and Went on with
her business. When the scene was
over she went to the dressing room
all atremble. Had he seen her and
what would he do and say? Well, any,

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:

lister.
The great popularity of Peruna a. q
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna- A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tones are to be found in many drug
stores These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than PEI
runa. Peruna can only be obtained 40
a uniform price, and no druggist can
get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations Of
Peruna for Peruna. It is done every
day without a doubt.

way, there was no backing out now.
Still she really loved Tom and she
knew she would be heartbroken if he
left her. So perturbed was she that
she scarcely noticed that the call boy
brought note for ':Jen," the room
mate who smoked cigarettes and was
drug store blonde"
Here's a co. remarked that young
woman. Freddie Holmes is out there
in the audience and wants to put up
nice little supper after the show. Has
8 friend with him and wants to know
if l can't bring along one of the other
girls. Well, won't L? Freddie is a rum

complete in that She eyed Tom mar
rowly and decided that he had not
chatting with companion-a sporty
looking character, and looked not at
all perturbed.
After the last scene she gave the
other two girls the right of way in
the dressing room, as they were in a
hurry to keep their engagement. She
heard the introductions on the outside
and overheard the discussion between
"Jen" and Freddie" as to which res
taurant they would go to. While it
was still going on she completed her
dressing, opened the door and walked
out-and directly into Tom.
"Fannie!"
Toni"
The EXPLANATIONS were identical as
to time and infection. Which was the
most surprised is a matter of conjec-
ture to this day. Yes, there was Tom
talking with that horrible Mag" and
evidently was the friend of "Freddie's'
who was to take her to the little wine
supper.
1t was case for mutual eXplana-
lions and they withdrew to an obscure
corner and had them. AS a result Tom
withdrew from the supper party and
Fannie finally and forever gave up her
histrionic ambition. Both swore to
eternal secrecy regarding the entire
affair and fully forgave each other.
Which was about the best way out of
it-wasn't it?
