Provided For In Advance.

A playwright in an interview in New
York said that without attention to the
minutest details theatrical success
could rarely be attained.
"And yet" he added, smiling, "even
this grand virtue Of attention to de-
tails may be carried to excess. Thus a
certain playwright said at rehearsal
to his leading man:
"'Now, remember, John, after you
speak this line, "Helen, will save you
though l perish" pause and wait for
the applause
But the leading man sneered and
answered cynically:
"'How do you know therell be any
applause?
"'That is my business, not yours,

calm confidence" Washington Star.

presently. You got my letter-the let

Don't interrupt me! D'you hear?
I've come for my answer. Yes, I've
come down to that, Graham. If you

of written reply I've come to hear it

Sam nodded thoughtfully. "Mebbe,"
he said. you forget you have failed
to accord me the common courtesy Of
any sort Of communication. whatever
for twenty years, Colonel Bohun.
Even when my wife, your daughter,
died you ignored my message asking
you to her funeral"
''Be silentw screamed the colonel
"Do you think I'm here to handy

answer"
And as for that" continued Sam as
evenly as if he had not been inter-
rupted. 'your proposition was so pre-
posterous that it could have come only

For a moment / feared Bohun

violently that / looked momentarily
to see the chair break beneath him.
There was insanity in his eyes. When

"It's lie! l don't believe it. It's
madness. The girl wouldn't be so

at all events, showed the least sur
prise. The old colonel wheeled to-
ward the back of the store, his jaw
dropping and his eyes protruding as
though he were confronted with a
ghost-as, in a way, he was. Even
l had been struck by that strange,
heartrending similarity to her moth

to hear that voice, as 1t seemed, from
beyond the grave.

much neglected drug store,
thinking of the change that had come
over it since the death of Margaret

its out of the way location, the shop

had been one Of those women who can
rise to any emergency in the interest
Of her loved ones. The first to realize

business with a firm hand aud made it
pay-while she lived.
During Margaret's regime, as l say,
the shop had thrived. Sam had few ill
wishers in Radville. The trade came
his way. Then Betty was born, and
Margaret died.
Most of this l have on hearsay. l
left Radville shortly after their mar
riage and did not return until some
months after Margarets burial. BY
that time the shop had begun to show
signs Of neglect. Its stock was deci-
mated, its trade likewise. Sam was
struggling with his inventions more
fiercely than overseeing forgetful-
ness, l always thought. The business
was allowed to take care Of itself. He
had always a serene faith in his to-
morrows.

The times, as the saying is. Small,
darksome, dreary and dingy. 1t served
chiefly as living room for Sam. his
daughter and his cronies as well as
for his workshop. He had a bench and
a ramshackle lathe in one corner,
where you might be sure to find him
futilely pottering at almost any hour.
He owned the little building-or that
portion OF 1t which 1t were a farce to
term the equity above the mortgage

rooms above the store.
