CHAPTER XIX.
The Awakening,

Wingrave had risen to his feet He was
perfectly calm, but there was a look on
his face which Juliet had never seen there
before. Instinctively she drew a little
away, and Aynesworth took his place be-
tween them.
Are you mad. Aynesworth?" Wingrave
asked coolly.
Not now, Aynesworth answered 81

years. to look on, however passively. at all
the evil you have done. I've had enough
of 1t now. and of you, l came here to tell
you so.

Wingrave shrugged his shoulders.

little seductive movement of her body. Her
hands stole out toward him.
"Wingrave!" she murmured.
His first action seemed to crush all the

heart. He took one hand and he led her

She covered her face with her hands.
Even his tone was different. She felt that
this man was stranger. and a stranger
to be feared. Aynesworth came over to
her side and drew her away.

An Easv Mark.

The following is told as having &C.
Cured in the lobby Of the Palmer
House, Chicago:
A guest came in from the street,
took of his overcoat, folded 1t care
fully and placed 1t over the back Of
chair and then sat on 1t, producing q
newspaper and soon becoming abb
sorbed in Its contents. Before long
stranger tapped him on the shoulder
and politely asked II he would please
get up and let him have the overcoat
he was sitting on. The guest obllging-
ly arose and handed his own coat to
the stranger and then seating himself
again continued to read the paper.
Suddenly 1t dawned upon him that he
had made o fool Of himself. He be-
came excited. and rushing over to the
desk told the clerk the circumstances
Of the robbery.
The clerk listened patiently and
then quietly said: "I'll tell you what
to do. You 80 back and sit where you

Everyone Thinks the Theatrical Man.
Ager Has Them to Give Away.

The manager of theatrical com
pany had Just written his name upon
the register Of the leading hotel. The
clerk was all smiles.
"How's the world been using you
since you were here last season.
the clerk asked. Room with bath?'
The manager said business had been
fairly good. The clerk said he was
glad Of that.
"Say, Billy" he added, "can you fix
me up for the shown"
The manager wasn't surprised at
the question. He had heard 1t before.
He would see what he could do.
During the day nearly everyone the
manager met asked him for comp.
to the show.
That night the manager was telling
his troubles to a newspaper friend.
Everybody tries to hold me MP for
tickets" he said. But don't give
out many nowadays. Why should !?
I pay we'll for everything | get In the
way of accommodations.
"I'll tell you when the practice
started. Years ago. when the Old

managers and actors gave tickets
away by the wholesale. If they wore
short on money for railroad fare they
ma 1e 1t up with tickets AT the hotels
they sometimes had to pay bills with
seat checks The members OF the
company gave tickets to their frieaes

spirit is alive yet, but we can't be SO
