A Great Moment.

Suddenly the beautifully dressed
young woman laid one of her hands
upon the arm of the young millionaire
who sat beside her.
The great audience was hushed.
The lights were low.
It was an impressive moment.
The glorious and never to be forgot
ten Bernhard was speaking In low
tones that seemed to vibrato with an
awed exultancy.
Leaning toward -his lovely compan.
ion, the young man waited for her to
explain why she had wished to draw
his attention from the stage.
In a whisper that betrayed her awful
emotion she said:
I've just understood six words in .
row."
