Odd Climax That Was Not a Part of
the Play.
Frank Gilmore, the actor, tells tho
following story about his aunt, Miss
Sarah Thorne, who was leading woman
at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, many
years ago.
Miss Thorne was given a part in
The Masked Prince the second piece
of the evening"" said Mr.. Gilmore.
"Glancing through her part hastily at
breakfast she noticed that there was
one scene in which she had so little to
say that it could be learned just be-
fore going on. She decided to skip that
scene and get to the longer passages.
when night came, and my aunt
made her appearance, she did very
well in the first scene. In the second
scene occurred the passages she had
skipped In the morning. She rushed to
the corner in which she left her book,
but it was not there. Finally, the
stage manager, receiving no response
to his repeated calls, sought her out
and pushed her on the stage. There
she was, before a large audience, with
out the slightest idea of what she was
supposed to do or say. The scene was
a courtroom. At a high desk sat the
presiding judge, letter perfect in his
part, because he had 1t ready to read
from the papers in front of him.
trial was taking place, and Miss
Thorne. to her horror, discovered that
she was to be the principal witness,
on whose answers hung the entire plot
of the play. The judge adjusted his
spectacles, looked at his part, and said
In solemn tones, The witness will now
state what she saw the prisoner do on
this particular night
"What was she to answer? She
glanced around helplessly. She hadn't
the faintest idea what she had seen
the prisoner do on that particular night.
The critical moment had arrived; some
one must speak, but she couldn't. Her
eye alighted on one of the characters
In the play who looked particularly
reliable. He looked like person who
could get one out of any sort of DIFF.
ficulty. So, pointing at him, she ex-
claimed In impressive tones, ASK that
manr
'The entire cast seemed Disconnected
by this remark. They did not know
precisely what ought to be said, but
instinct told them something was
wrong. The judge, thinking he might
have made some mistake, turned over
couple of pages of manuscript and,
having convinced himself on this point,
again addressed the witness. My aunt
glanced at the uncomfortable gentle
man and, no other idea coming to her,
again exclaimed, ASK that manr This
concentration of public attention was
too much for him, and he sneaked of
the stage with a feeble Excuse me-

DEATH OF COUNTY CLERK.
County Clerk and Recorder of Hinsdale
County Found Dead.

Denver.-A News special from Lake
City says: l. p. Hix, county clerk and
recorder of Hinsdale county, was found
dead Tuesday morning mile below
town on the Lake Fork of the Gunni.
son river.
He had been down to see his aged
father, who was i'll at his farm, two
miles from Lake City, and stayed from
early morning until between and
O'Clock Monday afternoon. He started
to walk back to his home by a narrow
path which led beside the creek. He
evidently stepped too near the bank,
and it caved, giving him fall of about
six feet and bruising him so badly that
he could not get up.
His death, however, was due, not to
the fall, but to heart failure, brought
on by the exposure to the nights
storm. His wife became anxious on
account of his continued absence, and
a searching party was formed, but his
body was not discovered until morning,
when 1t was brought to his home in
Lake City.
Hix was nearly forty-two years old.
He leaves a widow and four small
children besides an aged father and
an invalid brother to mourn his loss.
He had been clerk of this county for
more than seven years and a resident
here for twenty-five years. He came
across the plains from Missouri when
he was boy. He was universally
liked, and his death comes as a great
shock to this community.

with dense masses of people. All the
