Of rising when his companion laid a re

Yes" was the reply; Il see her.

How long have yOu been doing
newspaper work." asked Blake.
NEARLY two years. But I've never
done any general reporting. l began to
write book notices for the paper during
my last year IN college, and the editor
offered ne a regular job after gradua
tion. I've done 2 few thcQters, concerts,
lectures and that sort Of thing, and it
seemed to nee that Memorial day eel
ebration wouldn't offer any great diff
culties, especially as I write shorthand
and can get ali l want OF the speeches
without bother. But in regard to incl
dents and people I'd have been all at

Blake. Couldn't he get hold Of some

Il headline, in a news
paper propped up before

caught my eye, and | read
it eagerly, because | in
stantly realized that an
Emperor was just the man
to help me in a venture l
had on hand.
1t was in Philadelphia in
Centennial days. For sew
eral days l had been much
engrossed in preparations
for what | had named a
Grand Musical Congress,
a series of three concerts
for which a number of the

been engaged. 1t was a

Empress surely would be in evidence.
There were neither seats nor stand
ing room for a quarter of the throng
that stormed about the doors that
night. The police had their hands
full in clearing a way for the carriages
of the Emperor's party. While the
orchestra was playing the opening
number surveyed the house. Reach

The body of the theater was brilliant
with beautiful women in gorgeous
gowns and flashing gems, and as a
huge frame for this dazzling picture
there were the intermingled flags and
bunting of Brazil and the United
States. The boxes stood forth re-
splendent. In the lower one on the
right-hand side sat the Emperor and
the Empress, surrounded by an array
of personages in glistening uniforms.

country.
This communication l presented
TO a glittering attache outside the
door of the Emperor's suite, and
awaited the answer with much
anxiety. In a little while the
gcntleman-in-waiting handed it to
me with a sweeping bow, which |
returned in kind, except that cut
it rather short in my haste to see
what his majesty had to say.
At a single glance | devoured the
words, which were to the effect
that the Emperor and Empress were
pleased to accept Mr. Morrissey's
invitation to hear the great lyric
artists of the United States. In my
sudden joy l could have slapped
on the back the dignitary in gold
lace, but | merely bowed again and
tucked my epistle from an Emperor
in my safest pocket.
1t was desirable, of course, that
the newspapers know of this, so |
lost no time in despatching a messen-
ger to the strongholds of the press,
with the information that Mr.. Nor
rissey would be pleased to receive
its representatives. The reporters
came, and were duly impressed.
As may be imagined, | was in high
