stepped forward his friends applauded
vociferously. Bowing his thanks. he
faced the king and said, In high
pitched voice: "The swoon has
queened."
There was a roar of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an

Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in voice which
could be heard all over the house:
Come of, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping fal-
setto, as he was assisted off the stage,
he screamed: "The coon has
