turer," who has been in the show busi-
ness since the early days, was discuss
ing some Of his early experience at the
Green Room Club recently, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. Coyle was telling
Of the growth of the moving picture
shows, and he gave a story or two from
his own experiences.
The making of moving pictures" he
said, requires much skill on the part
Of the actors, for mistakes made before
the camera can't be rectifed. They
1 remember when tho moving-picture
industry was In its infancy we had
contract to make a series Of biblical
scenes. A quiet spot in the country
was selected, and after considerable re-
hearsal the machine was put into posi-
ton and set to work.
Every one was part perfect, and
things went on we'll. We were congrat-
ulatlng ourselves when word came that
two of the principal scenes were spoiled
and would have to be done over again.
One Of the spoiled scenes was that Of
st. John being baptized in the River
Jordan.
''The photographer in developing the
scene found that there was more In
the picture than we had bargained for.
He noticed in examining the string that
way off some distance from st. John
was small boy, partly concealed by a
bush, fishing.
The other series which had to be
made over was a scene In which body
Of Roman soldiers Of that period fig
ures. We had overlooked the fact, In
selecting the place for the enactment
Of the scene, that a line of suburban
cars ran along road some distance off.
The result was that at intervals a
small but exceedingly up to date car
scooted along behind the soldiers Of
Herod."

The oak trees in the twilight stand
Majestically tall;

Fringe the dark forest wall:

His eyes upon the drowsy stars,

CHAPTER XVII Continued.)
The Duke Of Marlborough was making
IN almost regal procession with his new
daughter-in-law. He had come up just
Is Audrey was clasping her mothers
hand, and when he caught sight of the
girls face he whistled.
Jack, my boy, you're in luck" he
cried, and then nothing would do but
Audrey must walk away with him and
be introduced all round.
'The girl is a lady from head to foot
and what face! Charity girl, indeed
Where's Gladys, I wonderY and then
the wicked old man chuckled to himself
a. he meditated a plan to annoy Lady
Daleswater.
So with Audrey, laughing heartily at
his sallies, he walked straight up to his
daughter, whose cold eyes were resting
with distinct approval on the slender,
white-rebed figure.
GLADYS, my dear, here is some one you
must knew. This young lady has quite
taken my heart by storm! l don't be-
lieve she will leave a whole one when she
goes away"
THAT is easily understood" remarked
Lady Daleswater, graciously giving Au-
drey sincere admiration, "but you have
not told me this young lady's name,
papa"
mel Haven't I? Dear me! Well,
you really ought not to need an introduce
tion, since she is your new sister, Jacks
wife. Come along, my dear. I want to
take You up to that old woman over
there; she is not beautiful, but she is
clever, and that is a great thing"
Sheila Fraser had not been with Lady
Daieswater when the duke brought up
his sons wife, but she knew in a moment
that her rival had come on to the field,
and she could scarcely contain her bit
ter hatred and jealousy, as she heard
nothing but admiration expressed for Au-
drey all the way round.
She was carefully attended by her cava-
der, the Honorable Lancelot Twist, broth
er to the Earl of Daleswater, who was
% strongly inclined in favor of obtaining
her fortune as his sister-in-law could de-
sire. He was a mean little man, very
IKE the earl in appearance, but Sheila did
not care about this; she only remembered
his rank, and was glad to have some one
to attend her SO closely, If only to show
tho world that she was not breaking her
heart for Lord John Glendurweod. Miss
Fraser walked straight up to the lovely
girlish form.
Il an very glad to see you," she said,
with great warmth and extending her
delicatsly gloved hand. "You have not
quite forgotten me, Lady John, I hope?"
oh, No, I have not forgotten you,
Miss Fraser" she said, simply, and then
she added no more, for to say she was
glad to see Sheila would have been to
otter an untruth, and Audrey was not
versed sufficiently in the worlds ways to
speak falsely.
