strictly In accordance with the In
structions conveyed in the little blue
covered book of typewriting which
read:

Considering that this was the 2l7th
time she had done this the view from
the window had lost somewhat of its
novelty.
She knew exactly what she would
see there. At her right would be a
huge electric calcium pouring us
green rays upon her white dress. 1t
had been decided that green would
be better than blue. The moon had
been green ever since the night when
the stage manager had arrived at this
decision.
There were also couple of stage
braces holding mp the scenery, and
sometimes couple of stage hands III
very dirty shirt sleeves lent ANNA

Tonight the men were absent anu
Annice was able to give her whole
attention to the floor, on which some
one had chalked Il love YOU" in
clear print.
She wondered idly who might have
done this. Some stage hand, prob
ably considering it good joke,
Surely no one would make such an
open confession and expect to be
taken seriously.
She was still wondering when she
heard the cue which was her signal
to turn with a cry of horror to per

the floor, struck down by Hugh de
MaItravers, who in private life was
most unvillainliko villain.
After that it was busy time until
the fall of the curtain, when she had
to run for the dressing room for a
change for the third-act costume. She
gave the chalk marks no further
Thought until the following evening.
There, again. were the eloquent
words. neatly chalkcd for her inspec-

Ia use the window. She could not
suppcse that the message was meant
for any one else.
Gradually the legend began to an
nov her. Every evening the same
words appeared, only to disappear be-
fore il came time to make the change
for the next act.
She complained to the stage mana
ger. but that official could offer no
practical suggestion. He was certain
# was none of the stage boys and
that was all the satisfaction she could
obtain.
The matter both annoyed and inter
cstcd her. II takes but little to make
talk in company, and she wisely
held her peace; but she kept a sharp
eve out in the hope of discovering the
offender.
She even made n practice of run
