He had an advantage, and knowing

Both hand and voice might well
have been Labertouche's; Amber be-
lieved they were. And the darkness
rendered visual identification IMPOSES
BILE. No shadow Of doubt troubled
him as he yielded to the urgent hand
and permitted himself to be dragged
| more than led, through the reeking
milling mob, whose numbers seemed
each instant augmented. He had
thought, DULY, to find 1t dlflcult
matter to worm through and escape
but somehow his guide seemed to
have little trouble.
Ever since that knife had flown
past his cheek, his instinct Of self
preservation had been dominated by o
serene confidence that Pink Satin was
at hand to steer him in safety away
from-tr = brawl. He thanked his stars
for Labertouche-for the hand that
clasped his arm and the voice that
spoke guardedly in his ear
And then, by the light Of the street.
he discovered that his gratitude had
been premature and misplaced His
guide had fallen pace behind and
was shouldering him along with al
most frantic energy; but glance
aside showed Amber, in Labertouche'
stead, chunky little Gurkha in the
fatigue uniform of his regiment of the
British army of India. Pink Satin
was nowhere In sight, and it was i'm
mediately apparent that an attempt
to find him among the teeming hun
dreds before the goldsmith's stall
would be as futile as foolish-if not
fatal. Yet AmbeT's impulse was tc

gurkha, who fairly danced with ex

ly against Amber, shunting him un
tremendously out Of the bazar road
and into narrow black alley.
simultaneously Amber heard CRY

mob. screaming that a white sailor
had knitted the goldsmith. And he
turned pale beneath his tan.

You're right" Amber fell into 9

STAGE REALISM.
Clara Morris Spent Days Studying the
Insane and Those Afflicted
With Heart Disease.

No actress ever surpassed Clara MOI
ris in the care with which she stuoleo
for part. When she was studying
the part of Cora in article Az she
visited an insane asylum in order TO
learn the signs Of insanity. Cora was
not only insane, but she was disng-
ured by hideous scar as well. MISS
Morris spent weeks in trying to Sc
cure correct representation, and one
day she saw in street car a woman
who had exactly that kind of disfigure-
ment. She studied it and reproduced
1t, but her kindness of heart shrank
from reproducing it in such fashion
that the sufferer might recognize 1t II
she ever saw the play. So she work
ed over it until she made enough al
teratiOns to feel certain that no one.
not even the owner of the original
scar could ever suspect the imitation.
When she was studying the part OF
Miss MoultOn, who was to die Of heart
disease, she visited a specialist who
had a number of patients suffering
from that trouble He showed her
one of his patients and then, to her
surprise and horror, ran the sufferer
up flight of stairs that Miss Morris
might see the symptoms as produced
after an excitement Of the heart. Miss
Morris was filed with pain and pity
She made the poor patient a present
of a bank bill as she was leaving.
| The woman accepted it and then as
| she was stuffing it into her glove
| caught sight of the figure on the note
The size was so large that it brought
