CHAPTER v.
Superb Acting.

Once more Barbara Breton, in her
radiant loneliness, stood behind the
footlights. AS she swept upon the
stage, and the vast audience thun'
dered h ,r welcome, her acknowledge
ment was for them all-her glance,
lightning in her sweetness and fire,
for one.
He was there-Travis Meredith, her
lover. Full five minutes before the
curtain had risen he he'd entered his
friends box, breathless, eager, impa:
:tient. Not for his own right hand
would he have missed one moment OF
her soul-inspiring presence; and TO.
night of all nights; tonight when she
had promised him her answer. a.,
Close to his heart lay a telegram

CHAPTER Iil.-Continued.

II said until Tomorrow" she an
swered. "Have I not already given
you the assurance of my love? Did 1t
not escape me in spite of myself?
Come to me tomorrow after the thea
ter, and you shall have your answer;
now you must leave me. Travis!"
the low whispered word thrilled
through the room-"good night!'
Again he raised the hand, glittering
with gems, to his burning lips, as, with
one last glance of adoring love, he
pasesd out of her presence.
She listened until the last echo of
his footsteps died away-until she
heard the street door close, and knew
that Feline had barred her visitor out;
then she laughed aloud-a little, low,
triumphant laugh-while she broke
the seal of a note which had been ly-
ing on the table when she first entered
the room.
''Will Miss Breton give an inter-
view to one who desires it for her sake
as well as his own-one who is ready
to serve her at any cost?
"Signed, RICHARD HAYES"
AT any cost" she murmured aloud.
"How much, yet how little, these
words may mean! But this mans
friendship might be valuable. Friend
ship! AS # already, DR.. Hayes, with
all your reticence, had not discovered
your secret! But I will grant this in
terview. In thirty.six hours will see
you; but Barbara Breton will have
been dead and buried and resurrectCd
as Travis Meredith's honored wife!
'Thirty-six hours! A bride without her
wedding rCbe-a bride whose husband
knows not as yet the bliss that awaits
him! A boy-a boy whose mother
might be-Great heaven! did I utter
the word mother? God forgive mel
And, falling down on her knees, sobs
which this time were no acting echoed
through the room. ".aGA

DOUBLED STAKES AND WON,
Nerve of Railroad Superintendent
Fighting a Flood.

Nerve of a Railroad Superintendent
Fighting Flood.
Did you ever see man in q poker
game bet every cent he had on three
aces? Well, that is what W. S. Car
son. superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific terminals at Kansas City, did.
But the stakes were bigger, probably.
than were ever played in a poker
game. He bet seven locomotives and
his job that the Missouri Pacific
bridge wouldn't go out-this in the
face of the fact that seventeen
bridges across the Kaw had already
gone. And he won. Now the Missouri
Pacific has the only bridge across the
kaW at that place. When Mr. Carson
saw that his company's bridge was
likely to go the way the other went
ne took desperate chance. He de-
cided to weight the bridge down with
MOgul locomotives. Seven of them.
representing a value of $125,0O0 were
run out on the trembling structure
He knew, as did everybody else, that
II the bridge went the engines would
go with it, but he took the chance
and took it alone, for the city was
cut off from communication with the
other heads of departments, and there
was no one to consult with. Had the
bridge and engines gone, his job
would have gone, and with it a large
share of his reputation as man of
sound judgment. But the plan was a
winner, and now his stock is away
above par.-Louisville Herald.

The arm-chairs, shortly to contain
so much acute anticipation, were
ranged neatly on both sides of the long
room. Some malefic influence caused
the officiating teacher to appoint Philip
to lead One-half of the circle to the
chairs and Marantha the other. More
than one visitor had been wont to re-
mark the unanimity with which this
exercise was performed. Each child
grasped his little chair by the arm,
and, holding it before him, carried it
to its appointed place in the circle. So
we'll had they learned the maneuyer
that the piano chords were sufficient
monitors, and the three teachers, hav.
ing seen the line safely started, gath
cred around their visitor to hear more
Of the theory.
Under what impression Philip la
bored, with what malignant power he
had made pact, is unknown. He had
no appearance of planning darkly; his
actions seemed the result of instan-
taneous inspiration. Standing before
be subsidized partially, then, grasping
the arms, bent half over, he waddled
toward the circle. This natural meth
cd of transportation commended itself
In twinkling to his line, and, with
out the slightest disturbance or hest
tatlQn, they initiated him exactly. Ex.
perl3lce should have taught Mdrantha
the fltility of following his example,
but she was of an age when expert
ence appeals but slightly; and deter
mined to excel him: at the risk of fall
ing at every step on her already in
jured nose, she bent over so far that
the legs of her chair pointed almost
directly upward. Her line followed
her, and. waddling, shutting, gnome-
like, they made for the circle. 1t had
all the effect of carefully inculcated
drill, and to Mrs. r. B. NJ Smith
the effect was inexpressibly indiscreet.

II should hope so," responded the
visitor placidly; nothing could be
worse for them than that angle

youngest assistant whispered to her
fellow teacher, as the children sat de-
corously attentive in their chairs, their
faces turned curiously toward the
strange lady with the fascinating
plumes in her bonnet.

ment
With feeling of absolute safety the
teacher called upon Eddy Brown to
lead the waiting circle in game.
Eddy was one of the standbys of the
Kindergarten. He was a. little old for
1t, but being incapable of promotion,
owing to his inability to grasp the
rudiments of primary work.. he con-,
tlnued to adorn his present sphere. It
would almost seem that Froebel had
Eddy Brown in mind in celebrating
his educational schemes, for his deyel.
opment, according to kindergarten
standards, was so absolutely normal
as to verge on the extraordinary. He
was never ennuye, never cross, never
dlsobedient. He never anticipated: he
never saw what you meant before you
said it; he never upset the system by
lnventing anything whatsoever-the
vice OF the too active-minded. He was
perennially surprised at the climaxes
OF the stories, passionately interested
in the games; and clay balls and braid
ed straw represented his widest dis
slpatlons. He sat in his chair till he.
was told to rise, and remained stand.

"A fish," ventured Eddy Brown,

"A dead fish," persisted Eddy, who
was never known to relinquish volun-
tarily an idea.

Where is FARMLAND?

l wonder where is Fairyand?
Somehow I've lost the way,
Although I knew it well enough
In quite another day.
I knew just where the eltins played
Or drank the dewdrop wine,
And Robin Goodfellow himself
Was then a friend of mine
The Brownies played their tricks for me.
There in that mystic land,
And TriXies laughed in hidden dells
Or took me by the hand.
And there were giants, very tall,
More tall than I can tell,
And Jack the Killer, he was there:

And Cinderella--you may deem
She's but a tabled lass,
But. faith! I've met her oftentimes
And seen her shoe of glass.

And, though I seek it far and near,
No more it's wales / find.
There was little maid I knew
Who wandered there with me,
But, though I often call her name,
No more her form I see.
Mayhap-mayhap-I do not know
Beside some sparkling rill,
Deep hid and lost In Fairyland,
She's waiting for me still.
1 wonder where is Fairyland,
Or near or far away,
For, oh. it's hard to know it we'll
And then from it to stray.
The little maid the Brownies all,
The elf1ns still at play
Will someone tell me where they are?
For, oh, I've lost the way.

AGGREGATED sManv Years.

A somewhat noteworthy gathering
took place recently at the home of
Mrs. Helen l.. Russell in Wilton, N.
H. Including the three inmates of the
home the party numbered twelve. With
no design at all as to ages a birthday
book was calculated. The dates sur
prlsed us into little calculation which
revealed the fact that the aggregate
age was 1913 years.
