night of Derby week in Birmingham The
theater was crowded with jockeys, stable
boys, trainers bookmakers, and the rag-tag
of the racing circuit.
Long before the last act they were strong
for Richard; not that they admired virtue
less, but unfailing success more. They realized
that he undertook big things at long odds, and
got away with them, one after another, under
heavy handicaps So when he encountered
the valiant Richmond in battle, they didn t
think much of the latter's chances
Harkins, the Gloster of the occasion, and |,
as Richmond, gave the crowd a good fight
with the long swords. Both were masters of
fence, and were 50 successful in creating an
illusion that an excited bookie in the audience
jumped up and, carried away by the long
continued success of Gloster, yelled: Five
to one on Richard" The excitement proved
kindling, and soon from all parts of the
house were heard Ten to one" Fifteen to
one" and at length, Forty to one" on the
wicked King We realized that we had the
crowd, and prolonged the fight.
Then was conmotion. a boyish-looling
fellow was taking UP the bets on a basis of a
guinea He went quickly among the yelling
bookmakers until he backed the odds down
to twenty to one. The actors held the fight
until every bet had been laid, and then Rich
mond gave Gloster his quietus. Later we met
the youth in a nearby pub" where flushed
with success, he was setting EN- up for the
admiring throng. He had cleaned up more
than four thousand dollars.
" What made you take such long shot
against Richard | asked, when everything
made it look like his racer
. had stable information" answered the
boy. They've got Shakespeare in the Sun
day-school library at home, and | had read
Richard III Why, not even a bad start
could have licked Richmond tonight"

ence made him forget his lines.
He could not remember a word /;
so, taking my arm he said,
Come with me for a walk, and
| will tell you the story of my
life" We walked off the stage,
and on at the next entrance,
which required no more than
two seconds of time, and he
began, " Now have told you
the story of my life"
The audience would not let
him finish in several minutes.
The actor who INDUCES in such
pastime usually injuries him
self, IS unjust to his fellow
players, and without dignity to
his audience.
