CHAPTER XIV.

The Wopples family We're true Bohe-
nians, and had not yet lost their way
to the pleasant city. They accepted good
and bad fortune with wonderful equanim-
ity, and if their pockets were empty one
day, there was always a possibility of
their being full the next. When this was
the case they generally celebrated the
event by q little supper, and as their
present season in Ballarat bid fair to be
! successful one, Mr.. Theodore Wopples
determined to have a eonvivial evening
after the performance was over.
That the Wopples family were favorites
with the Ballarat folk was amply seen
by the crowded house which assembled to
see 1.-THE Cruet Stand" The audience
were very impatient for the curtain to
rise, as they did not appreciate the over
ture, which consisted of airs adapted for
the violin and piano by Mr.. Handel Wop-
pies, who was the musical genius Of the
family, and sat in the conductors seat,
playing the violin and conducting the or
Snestra Of one, which, on this occasion,
was Miss Jemima Wopples, who presided
ut the piano.
Then the orchestra played the 'wop-
| ples' Waltz dedicated to Mr.. Theodore
Wopples BY Mr.. Handel Wopples, and
during the performance of this Mr.. vii
Tiers walked into the theater. He was
! little pale, - was only natural after
such an adventure Is he had been engaged
In, but otherwise seemed all right. He
walked up to the first row Of the stalls.
and took his seat beside q young man Of
about Is, who was evidently much amused
ct the performance.
"Hullo, yilliers! !" said this young gem
tleman, turning round TO the new arrival,
'swhat dye think Of the play?"
"Only just got in" returned Mr.. vii
liers, sulkily. ANY good?"
"Wcll, not bad" returned the other
eve seen it in Melbourne, you know
the original, l mean. this is a very sec
ond-hand affair"
Just as the orchestra were making their
| ANAL plunge into the finale of the .Wop-
PIES Waltz" NJ. Vandeloup, cool and
calm as usual, strolled into the theater,
and, seeing a vacant seat beside Villiers,
walked over and took il.
Good evening, my friend he said,
touching Villiers on the shoulder. EN-
3oying the play. ehy
yvilliers angrily pushed away the
| Erenchman's hand and glared vindictively
at him.
"Ah, ycu still bear malice for that lit
tie episode OF the ditch" said vandeioup,
with ! gay laugh. Come, now, this is a
mistake !; let us be friends. Seen your
wife lately"
This apparently careless inquiry caused
Nj. yiniers to jump suddenly put Of his
ut, much to the establishment Of his
friend Barty.
Altogether "The Crnst Stand" was a
success, and would have a steady run oil
three nights u least, 30 Mr.. Wopples said
Yilliers, vandeioup and Barry went out,
ana as nons Of them felt inclined to g
% bed, villiers told them he know Mr.
