THE CARD PLAYERS.

The Sons and Daughters of Ruth flew
to their accustomed places in the gallery
The children tore down to the front seats
with small mercy for the veterans and in
mates of the Old Peoples Home, while
the Mayor and some Of his associates In
whiskers took seats in the boxes.
The play had never before gone so well.
Enthusiasm reigned. although there must
have been episodes in this intensely modern
drama that meant nothing to the audience.
1t was just as well that they could not under
stand They gave an ovation to the Purple
Tigr IS Of Begravia and applauded the
others so warmly that even the leading
lady had no time to be supercil!ous.
After the fourth act Clara Hostettsr
McCracken had her innings. She was
repeatedly called before the curtain.
The Mayor lifted his whiskers in the box
and addressing the audience, said that
he did not know what to doto honor their
distinguished townswoman but to pro-
pose three cheers. She got them and be-
gan her speech of thanks.
And there Is something else you all
might do" she concluded. You might
show your thanks to the manager and the
other ladies and gentlemen.
you must all show your appreciation by
contributing something to the fund we are
going to raise for their entertainment.
am not in the last act. as you all probably
know who saw me shot
$50 I will borrow the Mayors hat and
go to all Of you for your contribution to these
ladies' and gentlemen who have given you
such good time
The managers face lit up with ray Of
hope. The Purple Tigress, dragging her
spanRled train behind her. stepped into the
box occupied by the Mayor. The audience
SAN her take his hat and then hold it out to
him for contribution.
1t reared with applause. He handed out
a large bill and then forced the other men
In the box to do the same. Fired by this
example, the spectators in the other boxes
made really liberal contributions.
They were the rich men of the town and
could afford it.
Then the canvass of the audience resulted
had twios as much as would probably ever
have been taken in.
When she had collected it all, the heavy
lead appeared in the middle Of the stage and
with kiss blown to the audience babe her
townsrnen farewell. The audience yelled
witt delight, and Eve times she went back
to repeat the performance.
YOU'RE wasting time on the stage" the
manager said to her Just as she was about
to hand over the money. you ought to
be manager
Il am satisfied to act for while longer"
she answered But want you to promise
mo one thing. No more of that blond wig

Miss Clara Hostetter McCracken wac the
leading heavy of the Sworn to Sin" COM
pany No. 2. That meant that she had to
harass the innocent heroine because Of the
love she had for the hero in the dear old
days at Etretat before she came to London
and developed into the Purple Tigress of
Begravia.
She thwarted the union Of the happy couple
ut the end Of every act but the last, and
aided and abetted by the villain, who was
always dressed as an African ohasseur
or in evening garb, supplied that impor-
tant element of the drama known as the
conflict
To BIZ the leading heavy Of the company
also meant that she had dressing room
inferior to the leading lady's but better
than the soubrette s. when it did not happen
that, owing to the parsmony Of provincial
Managers, all three dressed in the same
room.
1t also meant that in the last act the Purple
Tigress was compelled to put on blond
wig and appear as bridesmaid in the train
OF the happy heroine. She rebelled in vain
against this duty. The manager argued
that she had only four scenes in the play,
and was not in the last act, that she would
never be recognized in blond wig and that
q salary and fare were saved. So genius
again had to knuckle down to commerce.
Miss Clara Hostetter McCra cken-her
whole name appeared on the program
as a. compensation for her extra duties
IN tie last aot-had made her debut in her
native town as star and tackled Juliet
with greater SUCCESS than any Of her pred
ecess,ors in the memory Of the local dra-

When the young actress went to New
York without money she was not so much
sought after by mana gers as she had hoped.
She sat around dramatic agencies until
they closed up at night and seemed destined
to return in the autumn to her Western
Nome no nearer the stage than when she
left 1t.
Then her good looks and modest demands
In the way of salary got her chance in a
melodrama sent out by a firm of mana gers
Who had half dozen companies. Her
conn inessand youth enabled her to advance,
and in her third year she was already as
far up as leading heavy and getting as
much salary within IS IA the leading lady,
who had blond curls and whine in her
voice and could be counted on to draw
more tears than any other woman of her
age in the business.
IF you are going to play Kellysburg,"
Miss McCraclen used to say always with a
superior air when she was talking with
mana gers, II can assure you at least one
large house there. That's my town"
Then the heavy load would smile vaguely

lected such chance was strange man.

about it in October, although they were not
due there until March. They we're within

public holiday?' asked the leading lady

serenely through all this. She did not even

1t was Sunday, anil Miss Clara Hostetter
McCracken stopped at the same hotel with
the company Her family, it appeared, lived
in suburb Of the town which comprised
| few houses and a railroad tank.
The manager had an interview with her
| in the local paper, however, and in il the
record Of her triumphs since her first ap-
pearance there sounded thrilling. 1t ap-
peared that there had leen some misappre-
hension in the East as to the facts of her
| debut as Juliet. She had only recited parts
! Of 1t at her school commencement.
| The next day was to occur the first local
appearance of Kellysburg's favorite. But
the town seemed calm, at least on the ex-
terror.
The manager stepped up to the little hox
Office OF the theater when he saw that there
was no crowd in the lobby.
Sold out, eh?" he said with a satisfied
information.
Not at ALL" answered the occupant,
who was also the janitor and was sweeping
the floor violently "Nawthing dom yet"
This disoouraging news was conveyed
to Miss McCracken by the manager, who
acted as II he had been led to bring the
company there under false pretenses. The
heavy lead had discovered for herself that
there were no signs of an audience.
At clock in the afternoon delegation
from the suburban town which was the
birthplace Of the distinguished actress had
bought four seats. Later three were sold
to man who looked suspiciously like Miss
Clara Hostetter McCracken's father
At the same time she was seen by one OF
the company driving in buggy from
florists near the town. Three bouquets

the afternoon.
In the dining room Of the hotel. 1t was
pretty well known that the expected thou
sands had not turned up.
'Ifeel 20 nervous" the leading lady began
over the canned peaches, at the thought
OF acting before all those people crowded
into that place! Suppose there should be
fire! Thousands and thousands of Door
people would be burned to cindes there
before our eyes"
when does the street parade begin?-
asked the soubrette. Il haven't heard a
note yet"
The heavy lead was disdainful The
others wondered at her repose. They all
knew there had been no advance SALE
Miss McCracken had not been in the hotel
minute during the afternoon. She had
been seen driving here and there in different
parts Of the town. forcing the shaky steed
that pulled her buggy to greater speed than
he had shown in years. She smiled with
