place that day-and directly after tea
Mr.. Ross hurried them away to the
theater.
1t was crowded tonight and their
hearts rose. Things had been bad late
ly, n they wanted n bit of luck. Mrs.
Ross looked at her husbands gray hair.
and sighed to think how hard 1t had
wondered suddenly If Philip Trelling-
ham had brought them ill-luck. She
was superstitious like all the rest of
the company. She hated to see a ad-
der stretched across her path. and a
dogs howl would upset her for days.
Perhaps. after all. things would i'm
prove now that Philip rockingham had
gone. They had been horribly bad
while he was with them, ever though
he had been such a handsome. gentle
manly man. and had lent such an air
of dignity to their little nondescript
company.
She hung at he wing. waiting for
her turn, and then she went on. facing
the glare of the footlights and the dim
faces looking at her from the darkness
with hope and fear both in her heart
TEere was plenty of money in the the
alter that night. and they wanted it
badly enough. but at the back of the
stage Nellie was waiting thia and and
very pale.
Mrs. Ross spoke her lines. She tried
TO change her comedy face into the
hard cruel n of Lady Macbeth,
and then suddenly for just an instant
her voice failed her-She broke Off
dead of-with her eyes glued to the
occupants of a box close to the stage.
Her heart gave a sudden jump; her
face Redeemed II paled again under
her paint.
Phillip T%rellingham was in that box.
For an instant she could not believe
she saw Alright. She stared hard across
he glare OF footlights, and he looked
calmly back at her.
Philip T~rellingham! He was there
with an old man. And Nellie behind
the stage. pale and fretting, to come
on presently and confront him.
For a OF two the we'll known
lines came faltering to her lips. Once
or twice her voice stumbled, and when
at last she made her exit things We're
swimming round her dizzily. In a few
mel Nell also would see Philip
rockingham sitting in the box.

she stood for a moment trying to
think what she could do, how she could
prevent Nell knowing. Perhaps, in
deed, Philip might draw back Into the
shadow when she came on. and Nell
might be spared the pain of seeing him,
but Mrs. Ross could not risk that.
She listened. Her husband was on the
stage playing his part. and he would
not be off for some minutes, and any
time Nell might come to the wings and
see Philip sitting there. h must do
somet:ling-get him away-appeal to
him In some way. What she should
say to him she did not know. and did
not stop to think. She might have re-
Elected that a man who could come to
playa nan who had been one of
themselves such a short time ago
would not be affected by anything she
could say. But she did not stop to
think. She dragged an old cloak from
its nail. and. slipping it over Lady Mac
beth's tawdry finery. ran quickly down
the passage toward the box.
She Knocked. and one Of the men
turned as she opened the door. 1t was
the old man-Philip did not move, and
She went slowly IN.
The old man rose as she entered. but
she fixed her eyes on Philips back.
come out. / want to speak to you"
He turned with an air of surprise.
n n old man came d little nearer
the back of the box.
II beg your pardon" he said. There
is no Philip rockingham here"
Mrs. Ross laughed a little. Her easy
going face had become hard stiff.
Il might nave known 1t would not
be his real name" she whispered, but
l only want to speak to him for a mo-
m~ent-only a moment-and we are dis
turbing the play
She stepped backward through the
open door. and the two men followed
her into the narrow corridor. She
placed herself under a flaming gas jet

Mrs. Ross eyed her husband fear
FULLY. He a not looked more terri
flying as Macbeth.
Il may be mistaken, OF course" she
said.
Well. go and fetch her down now.
It's nearly time to start for the thea
ter. and we shan't get any tea If we're
rot quick"
Mrs. Ross disappeared. and went in
search of her daughter. She found her,
as she knew she would, sitting at her
window. looking out listlessly over the
roofs of the houses of the little coun-
try town. She looked slight and pref
~ In the fading sunlight, but her face
had saddened during the last few days,
n Mrs. Ross heart beat angrily at
the thought OF the handsome actor who
had made love to her little girl and
then left them H. the lurch a week ago.
Philip rockingham vas the hand
soonest man and the strangest they had
ever had in their company. Mrs. Ross
a been proud enough Of him when
he husband engaged him. He was a
gentleman. evidently. and so different
from the other members of the little
travelling company that he seemed to
attract a%ttention wherever they went.
They had all been proud of him until
now. and now he had left them with
only The barest explanation. that he
was forced to gc-.hat circumstances
which he could not help compelled him.
That was all. He had always been
odd. as Mrs. Ross had said. There had
always been something mysterious and
secret about him. out this sudden dis
appearance was ineXpiicable.
Mrs. Ross looked at Nellie's white
face now. and her rage rose up again.
Let hin be horsewhipped! 1t was what
he deserved. after all. and If her hus-
band did it she would not interfere.
She took Nellie's arm a little more
a~ffectionately than usual. and they
went downstairs.
1t was their first night in the town
they had come from their last stopping

"He was always a mystery. I always
knew there was something queer about
him." said Lady Macbeth" She was
rather stout, and her mouth persisted
in curling at the corners in a way
not at all suitable to her role.

upon her face. and she fingered at the

husband still slashed at the ham.

Mr. Ross looked darkly at the ham,
n the shadow came into his eyes also.
He WAS thinking suddenly that Nell
was an they had-their only child. The
other Two lay under white stones some
where-he never dared to think OF
them-and Nell "a all they had left.

lived for.

He wrote, up to the age Of IS. his best

FOR THE STOUT WOMAN.


First and most important is the
question of corset. The who liz
STOUT makes the greatest mistake when
she attempts economy In this particu-
lar. y poor corset is a most expensive
luxury. 1t not only spoils the APP
rehrance of the stout woman, but 1t
makes the ftsLn ~ her clothes a seri-
Gus problem.
The stout woman s.,culd avoid plain,
tight-1itting blouscs. They serve to
emphasize her stoutness. The round
and bclted waists are the most irving
ones she can wear.
Black and darker shades are the best
colors for the stout woman. OF course,
II does not ollo that no color should
be used in Frightening up and re-
licving the monotony of "A dark color.

is a serious mistake. 1t has a tendency
to shorten the waist line. and adds
breadth across the shoulders. A few
pleats in the center from the collar to
the belt line is the best way of finish

clared Remington. cit was also
my first attempt at pole climbing
on the first day of April. L
suppose l was a fool for not wait
ing until Tuesday"
A rather amusing incident in con-
nection with the accident happened
in front of the dry goods store of
D. A. Frank & Company where
o. j. Conner vas standing with
Mr.. Frank, watching the painting
of the pole. At the sight of Rem
ington S fall from the dizzy
height, Conner in catching his
breath partially swallowed cigar
which he had been smoking. The
cigar caught in his throat, max
ing it impossible for him to talk,
and extremely difficult to breathe +.
Running to his place of business
on east Center street, Conner tried
to make his trouble known. After
grimacing tand making frantic
motions for about five minutes, he
managed to get some one to gaze
into his mouth. A pair of pinchers
was used TO extract the Havana.
After Remington had lain on the
street short time, James L. Beat
ty started with several others to
assist the injured man. He fell
over a water plug and loosened
four teeth.
Among those who tainted upon
witnessing the accident were DR..
j. &. Setter, city councilman; G..
II. Foster c. ID. Walters and
Charles H. Elliott. 1t is not
thought that DR.. Setter will be
able to. attend the council meeting
this evening.
Remington has already re-
ceived kilograms from two theatri-
cal managers who want him to ap-
pear ON the stage following his
recovery. He says he has neither
declined nor accepted the offers.
He has decided, however. TO aban.
don steeple and pole climbing for
good.

The speaker compared the various

He said that In only the Christian
religion does the leader live. "In
