TOrrinSton's

When Jimmie TOrrington proposed
amateur theatricals as means of lit
ing the dCDt from the Kingston Golf
club and possibly supplying founda-
ton for a building fund the golf club
crowd decided that he must be crazy.
This belief was strengthened when
TOrrington placidly consented to act as
property man and made no effort to
prevent Herbert RansOn's becoming
81 g manager. 1t was well known
that Kittie Clausen favored these two
of her numerous train of admirers,
and Carson voiced the general senti-
ment when he said:
Jimmie is insane to permit Ransom
to be the stage manager OF course
Ransom viii cast himself for the hero
and make kittie the heroine and Jim
mie will be out in the cold"
If TorringtOn realized his error he
gave no sign. On the contrary. lie
amiably insisted upon taking Il great
er part of the work upon his own
shoulders. 1t was he who hired such
costumes as were needed, secured the
scenery and even induced a theatrical
friend to promise to make up the play
erS on the night of the performance.
TorringtOn was the type of man who
most enjoyed doing things for others.
He was not Il handsome chap in spite
of his bright eyes and clear complex
ion. He was rather short of stature
(dumpy, Ransom called HIM. and his
favor with Kittie Clausen had been
gained by his qualities of mind and
disposition. Ransom, on the other
hand, was as striking in appearance as
the hero of a cheap novel. He made
an ideal hero for the play, and even at
rehearsals he put deal of feeling
into the love scenes with Kittie.
Apparently Torrington was the only
one who did not notice the fervor
thrown into the rehearsal. and when
it was brought to his attention he
merely smiled complacently and re
marked that he hoped the speaker
might he able to play his part as well
on the fateful night
Gradually this Indifference was ac-
cepted as a silent admission that Tor
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1905-01-19

rington had withdrawn from the con-
val, and when he was not around the
men began to speak of poor" Torring-
ton, while the women marveled at the
completeness and suddenness of his
surrender
But Torrington was not worried. II
he was aware of the compassion of the
men and the Scoru of the women he
did not show it, and his moonlike face
was always lighted by peaceful smile
as he sat by the prompter's table at
rehearsals and watched the proceed
ings. He acted as useful man about
the stage, reading the part of some
one unable to attend rehearsal, holding
the book as prompter or performing
any slight service asked him.
Ransom, who possessed considerable
ability as an actor, worked hard with
his cast of amateurs, but it is not
easy to teach the art of acting, and
when in the course of time the rcpe-
tition of mistakes drove him frantic
he gradually lost command over his
temper and at the dress rehearsal he
had to apologize to the entire com
pany, including Kittie, at various times
throughout the evening.
The others absolYed him, but that
evening Torrington walked home with
Kittie, to the great surprise of all
Their establishment would have been
greater had they known that the inyi-
tation came from Miss Clausen her
self
But if Miss Clausen had transferred
her favors to Jimmie in the hope of
finding him a ready sympathizer she
was in error. Torrington was sorry
that her feelings had been hurt, but
he was not prepared to admit that
Ransom was to blame. Oddly enough.
his defense of Ransom served to in
crease her sense of injury. When the
night of the performance arrived she
was scarcely civil to the stage man
ager and flounced into her dressing
room with so curt a good evening"
that even TorringtOn gasped.
Ransom looked surprised, but there
was no time then for explanations,
and he went off to the dressing room
where the professional actor had in
stalled himself.
The shelf in front of the mirror was
covered with sticks of paint of all
colors, boxes of powder and the vari-
Gus implements of makeup art all
redolent of the cheap perfume added

There is story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
well in his broadcast Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks and who, while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood,
had on Il single occasion ventured 10
disagree with him: Il would have you
to know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had CON
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead
of standing boldly up to Carlyle and de
claring his doctrine utterly perverse
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologize tone
Now. Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutOr; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
so much as that. OF course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way.-London Spectator
