Leod had given her especial drilling

In this She had decidedly improved

There's a woman" he said, who Will

ranged in his mind the main points Of
the criticism he would hand in TO the
dramatic editor of his paper, and felt
a bit Of comfort in being able to thus
help a struggling actress, remembering
those lac had been obliged to discour-
age. When the curtain was rung down
on the first act the audience felt re-
lieved. the women chatting about social
tribes, the men going out for a Whit

Miss Cheever retired to her dressing
room to weep. She knew that on this
first occasion OF her playing a promi-
nent part she had made a dismal fail
ure, and that in the presence of tha
man who had warned her to choose an.
other occupation. But womanlike, she
illoglcaIly blamed Mcleod for her fail
ure rather than her want Of histrion' :
ability. From tears she passed to ir-
ritation and from irritation to anger
The curtain went up for the second
act, and Miss Cheever took her place
on the balcony Romeo spoke those
poetic lines beginning;
He Jasts at scars that never felt a
wound.
But soft What light through yonder
window breaks?
II Is the east. and Juliet is the sum-
The man was a splendid actor and

with Mcleod, whom she could plainly
see from her perch Then came her
own lines
o Romeo, Romeo. wherefore art thou
Romeo2
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
or, II thou wilt not be but sworn my
love
And I'll no longer be a capulet.
Whether it was inspiration or def
ance she never knew. but soaething
prompted her to speak the lines in the
fashion Mcleod had tried 10 train out
of her and she gave them with all the
natural feeling the part, the scene, the
impelling reckiessness impaired.
A hush came over the audience.
Romeo spoke the single line

Miss Cheeyer hesitated a moment
before her reply. then went on as ma
ture. not art, had taught her, and from
that moment to the end Of the scene
every eye In the audience was fixed
upon her every ear listening for her
slightest whisper
The understudy played the part of
Juliet through to the end as she con-
ceived II, not as some one else had CON
ceived ii or how the lines should be
spoken On that night a new star arose
