the time announced for the opening Of
the sale, the place was packed and
a line stretched round the block in
which the theater stands 1t was soon
discovered that the mass of buyers
were the wives, sisters, cousins and
aunts Of the stage hands, and as the
papers announced that each one could
buy ten seats the house was speedily
sold out. Then commenced the side
walk deals when the stage hands them
selves appeared and began to retail
the seats at premium. The man
agement of the theater threatened to
discharge every man who did not at
once return his tickets to the box Of
fee, and here the union asserted itself.
A strike was threatened which would
have closed the theater that night.
This was something the management
had not counted on, so there was no
help for it. The sidewalk sale proceed
ed and the stage hands reaped a gold
en- harvest-enough and to spare for
Christmas turkeys, while the hacker
made a nice sum on his investment
A court Of inquiry Is now sitting the
matter, and the union has been called
upon to expel the stage-hand ticket

They are willing to talk.
1t costs on the figures of a pron1i-

and attempts to resume her sway over
Desborough. She meets him late at night,
and the major SO arranges matters that
the countess sees their meeting.
In a jealous rage Lady Desborough runs

her established in a hotel where he also
secures accommodation for himself. Des-
borough follows, but finding them together
as he believes, soundly thrashes the major
and begins suit for divorce. Mostyn,
eager to revenge himself, forecloses on the
horses and the string is brought to Lon
don and placed under the hammer at Tat
tersalls.
A number of the earrs friends form a
syndicate to buy one of the horses for
him, "Clipstone," the derby favorite, but
