heard girl back of him say, with a laugh, to her companion. Seton smiled at this revelation He had been about to con-
 clude that the fun was the compensation for the pushing.
 The fun was none the less large and genuine. He had come to look at the play from the standpoint of the people in the second balcony, but he found himself looking at nothing so much as the people themselves. They were so diverse; they ranged from ncwsboy to college instruct
 ors, from not very well-bred schoolgirls
 to women who were even distinctive in appearance; and they were equally, if as
 diversely interested in the performance.
 Seton glanced from the woman on his
 left to his ncighbor on the right, who
 was also a woman. She was intent upon the performance; and a stony glance heightened almost into stare Her man. ner of looking at the play was unlike that of any other person whom he had seen in the balcony. She was seeking the causes of it's effects.
 To Seton. a member of the profession, this was almost instantly apparent. When the audience laughed, she did not laugh

"NHE theater was empty and dimly
 lighted. Even tho doors leading to
 the unreserved seats of the second
 balcony had not yet been opened. Seton smiled slightly as he passed through the main entrance and made his way to the second balcony. He could scarcely do less than convict himself of whimsicality in preparing to spend an en- tire afternoon in viewing another per sons performance from an unreserved seat.
 Seton's own parts were usually strenu- pus to such a degree that he gave but one matinee a week. He had not often de- voted his consequent leisure to the mat tnee performances of others; but lattcrly his leisure had become of little value and he gave it freely to the pursuit of any fancy which promised momcntary diver sieE.
 Finding a seat in the fourth row, he dropped into it and took out news paper, but the light was so dim that after a moments stralning, he let the paper fall to the floor. Hc sighed some what impaticntly and looked at his watch.
 Presently the audionce began to as semble, singly and in small groups; the lights increased in number and the mem bers of the orchestra began tuning their instruments.
 When the crowd poured into the second balcony, he opened his eyes and watched with interest its struggle for seats. The second balcony of q thcater would seem to possess the power to awaken even Iu persons not usually addicted to jostlng and pushing that primitive instinct which would award the best to him who first ran seize it. Seton looked at the crowd with curious pleasure and wondered if in any other part of the thcater such eager anticipation could be found.

 He wondered also what his wife had
 said about his understudy's ability. Be
 fore he could lead her to disclose 1t. the
 curtain ascended for the next act of
 the play.
 The gir appeared to forget him in the
 play She had talked to him merely in
 pitying revolt against his face, in which
 she saw such tragic sorrow. She gave her eager attention, as before, to the
 stage; and Seton again watched her.
 He suspected that some friendly i'm
 pulse had led her to speak to him, as It
 had led her to lend her opera glasses to
 his wife. The little characteristic glimpse
 of his wife that she had given him re
 frcshcd him and softcncd his loneliness as
