The curtain had been run up; the play
had begun. There was a hush in the
house. Every one was settled comfOr-
tably or uncomfortably as the case
might be, according to the locale and
the price paid, but nevertheless every
one was there, for it was a very i'm
pOrtant first night indeed.
Behind the call boy was tearing his
hair.
There was no need, for each individ-

as sensible of the gravity of the situa-

particular horizon, but it was the pro-
per thing to do, and he did it.
Men and women, clammy handed
with nervousness, stood about at the
entrance waiting for their cues.
! Meanwhile, in her little dressing room
close to the side,' the leading lady
was standing before a long glass. She
rubbed a powder puff over her face
while the dresser arranged the lace on
her bodice.
She was an exquisite picture-a mod
ern to the finger ups-a tall woman
with haunting eyes. The puff seemed
to caress her soft white throat as if it
loved it.
There was a light knock on the door.
The dresser locked up into her mistress
face and the mistress looked into the
dresSer'S face, while the red blood
mounted, showing pink under the make
up.
The dresser opened the door softly
and went out.
Have you come to wish me luck?"
asked the beautiful woman, turning
from her reflection to look into a mans
gray eyes.
Yes, and my luck is your luck. Lau-

1 was thinkin' in this strain and
wonderin' why 1 hadn't looked for the
snuff before the conflict begun, when
met a sorrerin' man by the roadside.
I knew from his looks While was yet
a hundred feet away that hope had
gone out of his heart and despair
crept into his SOUL and feelin' Of
pity came to my soul at once.
What is thy sorrer, man of dis

halted before him.
Il hev been betrayed and undone

turned his head away to hide the I'M
manly tears.
"As to how, that may condole
with you.'
"Ahl IT'S the old story. She pre-
tended that you had won her heart,
did she not?''
'She did. She said that life without
me would be d Sahara desert. She
set a date when she would leave him
and fly with me-
Leave who? You seem to be

Leave her husband. She was a

him. We were to fly together, and
our future was to be one long dream

It was my duty to reprove and
chide, instead of to condole, and was
plain and vigorous in my remarks. AS
a reward, the critter sprang up and
knocked me down with a blow on the
