The fishman cleaned them.
"Oh, yes" the woman considerably
remarked after looking them over,
"win you kindly take all the bones
out?"
Certainly" said the man. But he
said things to himself as he went be-
hind the icebox and extracted the
bones.
After fifteen minutes labor he wrap-
ped the smelts in a neat parcel, which
he handed the woman.

Beth looked curiously about the hall.
Behind the scenes had always been a
domain Of fairyland to her. The
thought that she was to witness a re-
hearsal, and dress rehearsal at that,
overpowered her.
1t was not at all as she had pictured
1t. The long, low ceilinged hall was
very unlike the stage, and the mass of
apparent chaos bewildered her. A
huge bowlder lay arainst an Italian
fountain, and flower beds, stacked one
above the other, looked very unlike the
flower beds she knew.
Over in one corner group of men
dressed as an Indian. In the center
of the hall half dozen men were
struggling through some unfamiliar
music, and not far away a heavily
built man was deliberately Sitting
new leather coat into shreds and rub
bling it on the dirty floor to take off its
aspect of newness.

the stick to threaten some unruly girl.
And over all presided a thin, nervous
looking man, who seemed to have the
faculty of being in three places at
once.

the group about cage in one corner
and came toward her. 1T doesn't

they can get the scenery up. There's

Beth glanced with new interest at
the flying figure. She had seen him on

pair of trousers and tattered flannel

Even when the players who had slip

back In gaudy costumes, the illusion
was not restored, for the nervous little
ballet master kept jumping into the
space outlined by chairs to represent
the stage and. roughly throwing some
one aside, took her place to show what
he wanted done.
Not until they came to the trick to
which the pantomime worked up did
Beth regain her interest. The beautiful
white girl was supposed to be thrown
into lions den, but an Indian mai
den, by virtue of talisman, took the
place of the Infatuated beast.
The others crowded about the cage
to see the trick worked, and Tom drag

She nodded assent with a delightful
feeling of mystery and watched with
interest the elaborate working of a
trick that seemed simple enough from
the audience.
Half dozen times the trick was
tried before Hermes Strengthened up
with an "All right! Dress for the next
act" and the crowd of Enthusiastically
dressed players rushed OF to the ante

Tom led Beth back to the tiny plat
