English Actors Give q Signal When lt's
Time to Laugh.
"Nothing illustrates the difference
between English and American wit
more. probably. than tho manner in
which playwrights write their lines"
said Rupert Hughes. There are few
people who realize the intricacy Of the
science Of writing a 'laugh'-that is. a
line capable of producing laugh from
IN audience.
"A man may write one Of the fun
NEST lines ever given to the American
stage and see it ignored BY an audi.
ence because Of some act on the part

1T is on this sccount that certain

Britain" he continues. Something
must be done when a laugh line is
spoken on the English stage to give
tho audience an inkling that the witt.
cism has been completed. Then you
get your laugh.

 But the thing that struck home and set him raging was the part played by the Amazonian prisoner To the counterpart of that astounding belig- erent-identical, at least, in the way of experience-to one, by her own confession, thus far fallen, had he, not three hours since, been united in mar riage How desirable and natural 1t had seemed to him then, and how monstrous 1t seemed now! How the words of diamond thief number two yet burned in his ears If you ever get girl, she'll have 8 picnic" What did that mean but that women in stinctively knew him for one they could hoodwink? Still again, there reverberated the policeman's sapient contribution to his agony; "A man these days and nights wants to know what his women folks are up to-" Oh, yes, he had been fool; he had looked at things from the wrong standpoint.
 With a high and stubborn tndigna- tion upon him, he retraced his steps to the intersecting street by which he had come from that preposterous we'd ding At last, when he reached the dark, ealamitous building in which his madness had culminated, and found the black hallway, he dashed down It, perceiving no light or sound But he raised his voice, hailing loudly reckless of everything but that he should find the old mischiefmaker with the eyes that looked far away to see the disaster he had wrought The door opened, and in the stream of light, Father Rogan stood, his book in hand, with his finger marking the place.
 "Ah!' cried Lorison. You are the man 1 want. 1 had a wife of you a few hours ago. I would not trouble you, but I neglected to note how 1t was done Will you obllge me with the information whether the business | Is beyond remedy?"

As matters stand, am l married past all help?"
 You are as legally and as firmly bound said the priest as though it had been done in cathedral, in the presence of thousands. The addition al observances l. referred to are not necessary for the strictest legality of the act, but were advised as a precau- ticn for the future--for convenience of proof in such contingencies as wills, inheritances and the like.
 Lorison laughed harshly.
 Many thanks" he said. Then there is no mistake and I am the happy benedict. I suppose I should go stand upon the bridal corner, and when my wife gets through walking the streets she will look me up"
 Father Rogan regarded him calmly.
 My son, he said, when man and woman come to me to be married, 1 always marry them. 1 do this for the sake of other people to whom they might go away and marry if they did not marry each other. AS you see, 1 do not seek your confidence; but your case seems to me to be one not alto gether devoid of interest Very few marriages that have come to my no tice have brought such well-expressed regret within so short a time. I will hazard one question: were you not un- der the impression that you loved the lady you married, at the time you did so?"
 Loved her!" cried Lorison, wildly. Never so well as now, though she told me she deceived and sinned and stole. Never more than now, when, perhaps, she Is laughing at the fool

| Lorison-their conference being re- garded as a possible new complca- tion--was fain to proiong the situa- tion-which reflected his own impor- tance--by little afterptece of philo- sophical comment.
 "A gentleman like you, sir he went on, affably, would never notice it, but it comes in my line to observe what an immense amount of trouble is made by that combination-I mean the stage. diamonds and light-headed women who aren't satisfied with good homes. l tell you, sir, man these days and nights wants to know what his women folks gre up to-
 The policeman smiled a goodnight, and returned to the side of his charge, who had been intently watch ing Lorison's face during the conver- sation, no doubt for some indication of his intention to render succor. Now at the failure of the sign, and at the movement made to continue the ignominious progress, she abandoned hope, and addressed him thus, point edly:
 You damn chall1-faced quitter! You was thinking of giving me a hand, but you let the cop talk you out of it the first word. You're a dandy to tie to, Say, if you ever get a girl, she'll have a picnic. Won't she work you to the queens taste! Oh, my!" She concluded with a taunting, shrill laugh that rasped Lorison like a saw, as the policeman urged her forward.
 Then there came upon Lorison an overwhelming revulsion of his per spective. In an instant he had been transformed from a somewhat rancid prowler along the fishy side streets of gentility into an honest gentleman, with whom even so lordly a guardian of the peace might agreeably ex- change the compliments.
 This, then, first broke the spell and set thrilling in him resurrected long

wits, he proceeded along the street in an aimless fashion. After drifting for two or three squares, he flowed into a somewhat more pretentious thoroughfare.
 As he stood before window near a corner, his ears were assailed by waxing clamor and commotion.
 Two ponderous policemen were con- ducting between them G. woman dressed as if for the stage, in a short. white, satiny skirt reaching to the knees, pink stockings, and sort of sleeveless bodice, bright with relucent, armor-like scales. Upon her curly, light hair was perched, at a rollicking angle, shining tin helmet. The cos tune was to be instantly recognized as one of those amazing conceptions to which competition has carried the inventors of the spectacular ballet.
 The young woman fixed her un- shrinking gaze upon Lorison, and called to him in the voice of the wronged heroine in straits:
 Say! You look like a good fel- low; come and put up the bail, won't you? I've done nothing to get pinched for. It's all mistake. See how they're treating me! You won't be sorry if you'll help me out of this Think of your sister or your girl be- ing dragged along the streets this way! l say, come along, now, like good fellow"
 It may be that Lorison, in spite of the unconyincing pathos of this ap- peal, showed a sympathetic face, for one of the officers left the woman's side, and went over to him.
 Its all right, sir" he said, in husky, confidential tone; she's the right party. We took her after the first act at the Green Light theater, on a wire from the chief of police of Chicago. It's only square or two to the station. Her rigs pretty bad, but she refused to change clothes-or, rather" added the officer, with a smile, Ito put on some.

PUPILS FORCE
INSTRUCTOR TO
LEAVE SCHOOL
Miss Proctor Felt that Fair
field Townspeople Did Not
Properly Uphold Her.

Miss Clara Proctor teacher in
the eighth grade of the Sherman
school, Fairfield, handed in her re-
signation to Superintendent e.; J.
alleged, of a feeling on the part Of
the teacher that she was not being
upheld by the Fairfield townspeople
in maintaining discipline in her class
room.
Miss Proctor was engaged to teach
ago. Her stay was to have been tenn
porary, but Miss Proctor found that
even a short period as distasteful to
her and so terminated her work.
The direct cause which led to her
resignation is said to have been a
disturbance in the school room. Miss
Proctor singled out a young fellow
whom she knew to be the ring-leader,
and sent him home. The next day
his parents appeared on the scene
and accused Miss Proctor Of having
made a scapegoat out Of their son.
They made it so unpleasant for her
that she decided to resign, finding 1t
impossible TO maintain discipline In
the school room without mourning the
wrath Of the parents.
superintendent E. J. Graham was
questioned by The Farmer today. He
said that it was true that Miss Proc
tor had had some trouble in her
room.
''But it is only the same difficulties
that teachers encounter everywhere,
said Mr.. Graham. ''She found the
work here distasteful to her and
handed in her resignation. I had no
other course than to accept it."
It is related that one youth with
whom Miss Proctor had trouble in the
class room. is the son of one of the
members of the Fairfield School
Board. He was sent home, it is
stated. and in this case the boys par
ents assured Miss Proctor that they
wanted her to punish their son when
he was insubordinate, and that they
would stand back OF her. In other
cases. however. the parents made SO
much trouble that Miss Proctor found
it impossible to continue with her
work to advantage. She has returned
to her home in F'itchburg, Mass.
Residents Of Fairfield assert that
there is disposition on the part of
some Of the people to imagine that their
boys and girls are angels Of good be-
havior when in reality the young peo-
pie are full Of mischief when out Of
sight Of the parental eyes. This. it
is making life miserable for some Of
the teachers in Fairfield.
One resident said that he saw one
