Thus far, his word for 1t, 1t had proved a tremendous literary effort, fully equal to Ouida's best, and he could guar antee that the last half would be greater yet. He had cried over 1t, and the editor, the editors wife and the pressmen, competitors and all others connected with the office would doubt less do the same.
 By and by two or three things began to dawn on Phyllis. She found 1t diff ficult to keep up the tears. The story had gone all right to certain point and then stuck. She was puzzled as to the end of it. She began to doubt and distrust her talent and finally ventured to say so to her father.

First, you are the daugh- ter of a colonel who served his coun- try for thirty years; next, you are good looking and smart; thirdly, your story is the only one to touch the editors heart.

HIS DAUGHTERS
 FIRST STORy
The Old Colonel Was Positive 1t
 Would Win the Prize.
By DONALD ALLEN.

[Copyright, 1909. by Associated Literary
 Press.l
 The Founder Magazine was offering a $500 prize for the best love story, and when Colonel Sears, retired. hap pened to see the announcement at the village reading room he started right home to tell his daughter Phyllis. On the way he decided that her story should be a pathetic one. He so de- cided because he felt pathetic most of the time himself over being retired, over his half pay and over the fact that the army was going to the dogs without him.
 Phyllis Sears was good looking, and she was smart. She had written and torn up two pieces of poetry, she had written and read numerous school compositions. and she had written one essay on the subject of intemperance.
 Miss Phyllis fully realized that she was literary. but she would not have pursued the line except for the en- thusiasm and encouragement of her father. She continued to be good look ing and smart and literary to please him. The mother dotted on the girl. but stood neutral in details.
 The story was begun next day, and as fast as a page was written 1t was submitted to the father. He weighed every sentence. Once the tears were started from the eyes of the reader he insisted that there should be no res pite.
 When the story had reached five pages the colonel wrote letter to the

THE AUDITORIUM, FRIDAY NIGHT
APRIL 16.-THE MlKADO
COMIC OPERA.

The justly popular comic opera, The
ATikado is accounted by all discrimi-
mating lovers of the beautiful and at
tractiye in the way of instructive
amusements, to be one of Gilbert and
Sir Arthur Sullivan's very best pro-
auctions along the line of comic opera
and in a broader sense the Mikoda is
said to be the very best of it's kind
ever written.
Many other operas have been pro-
duced since the fame of The Mikado
has been pronounced, and more or less
in imitation or suggested by charm
of this beautiful Japanese opera. But
the Mikado stands today as the fore
most of them ALL and it is worth while
to have seen it, The comedy in it is
of very high order and extremely
witty and contains a continuous strain
of satire on the Japanese extravagant
character, and the Orient's foolish
pride and arrogance of caste and race
supremacy
The music is in a class of itself. and
the tuneful characteristic motifs are
long to be remembered as a distinct
feature of the renowned English COM
poser Sir Arthur Sullivan.
The home talent artists of our city
and vicinity are working very indus
trlously under the personal direction
of Mr. Baker, the experienced society
opera director, and a production of
much merit is confidently expected.
and aside from the fact that the enter
talnment is being given for one of our
most noble institutions, for the promo
ton of all that makes for good, the
rendition of this beautiful opera is to
be rated and esteemed to be a factor
of no mean value, in encouraging and
cultiVating taste for things beauti
ful and artistic, which are deservedlv
and well along the lines of the higher
civilization, and a decided and marked
credit to any town, community or CITY.
capable of producing and properly an.
preciating and supporting such a meri.
tous Offering along the lines of in
structive amusements.
The ladies of the Bay Street Pres
byterian church, under whose auspices

pense or pains to make this Offering
