The words sounded like knell to
the actor. Shut up in a room with
mad woman. who had killed him on
the lyric stage for hundred nights
in succession and who now conceived
herself to be the real Charlotte. he saw
no way of escape. His only hope was
that he could see no weapon in her
possession. Looking her full in the
eye, he made an effort to stay her. by
talking with her. y,-r 49, 49,

Orme listened for a sound without,
hoping that some one might call for
him or that the actress might be
missed and would be hunted for.
though no one would think Of looking
for her in his dressing room. A clock
licked on the wall before him. He
glanced at 1t and saw that it was but
few minutes before he would be
called to go on the stage. But that few
minutes might be enough to end his
earthly career. Do:
A dagger was lying on cabinet
among other property articles. The
girl seized it and advanced toward the
tragedian. He was watching her eager

weapon a crafty look came into his
own eyes. Without looking away from
her he reached back and placed his
hand over small bowl.
In another moment Miss Kent sprang
at him and brought the knife down on
his breast. Orme grasped the dagger,
and red blood spurted on his slayer's
clothes. He fell on his face and lay
still.
There was hurried footstep and a
knock on the door. No answer. Then
came another. saying. "Orme. you're
called: times up" Still no answer.

The stage manager and several 9th.

dress, muttering to herself. while
Orme lay on the floor. The situation
was evident. Two supers led the &C.

tempted to raise the tragedian.

A Tragedy In.
A Greenroom
BY F. TOWNSEND SMITH
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation. 1911.

The tragedian was in his dressing
room making up. A number Of prop
erty articles were scattered about
cosmetics, wigs, daggers, indeed every
variety of material for sham purposes.
He had been playing in drama Of
the French revolution and attracting
great attention. For hundred nights
he had held audiences spellbound in
the character of Danton. while a
young actress was setting the public
wild by the impersonation of Char
lotte Corday. Two men met on the
street. and each remarked to the 9th
er, "Have you seen Edward Orme as
Danton and Edith Kent as Charlotte?'
Two ladies drinking tea fell to talk
ing about the wonderful impersona-
ton. the one in admiration of the
actor. the other of the actress, and
quarreled. Nothing was discussed ex-
cept the great play. the great actor
and the great actress.
BY far the larger number considered
Miss Kent the greater genius Of the
two. To those the advocates of Orme
declared that she had far better op.
portunity than he for display OF
genius; that Danton. like other revo'
lutionary leaders. was simply yielding
to the cry Of the people for blood
while Charlotte Corday was an en-
thusiast who offered herself as a
martyr. Some even maintained that
the real Charlotte Of history had
been maddened by the events OF
the revolution. These averred that
the genius of Miss Kent's imper
sonation consisted in throwing into
her acting feigned suspicion of in
sanity. 1t was noticed that night after
night she dwelt more on this feature
thereby working to greater degree
uponathe feelings Of the audience. In
| deed, so intense her emotions had be
come, so deeply did she feel herself tt
be the real Charlotte. that Orme a
times began to fear that she would
stab him instead Of pretending to de
50.
One night before performance thu
tragedian was sitting before mirror
making up when he heard the dool
open. Turning, he was surprised tt
see Miss Kent.
"Why, Miss Kent" he exclaimed ii
establishment that she should come t
his room. But one glance at her eye
told him that what he had been fear
ing, what the public had called genius
had come to pass. Miss Kent displayed
unmistakable signs Of insanity. In
stead Of showing any shame at visiting
man in his room. she turned the key
in the door and flung the key behind s

tried to put him in barrel Of

followed he broke his arm near the

sons who claim they are sane can
not leave this unfortunate fellow

it would be a blessing to- him and
they would be more respected by

Reminiscent.

Several newspapers referred last week
to Rev William F. Anderson, Bishop
of the NJ. e. Church, AS once living i'll
Frostburg. Inquiry brings out the facts,
however, that his father-Wlllam An
de son, was an early settler i'll this
vicinity. He owned the farm, near
Borden Shaft, now owned by Henry
Morgan, and built the brick house in
which Mr.. Morgan resides. Miss
Elizabeth Wright, of the old Wright
family, became his wife, and several of
the elder Anderson children were born
on the first homestead. In 1854 the
farm was sold to the Cumberland Coal
and Iron Company and the family re-
moved to Morgantown, w. Va, where
the Bishop was born. Here the old peO-
Pile spent the remainder of their lives.
Davisson Armstrong, president of the
Citizens National Bank, favoring the
JOURNAL with these facts, said, in CON
clusion-"Mr. Anderson visited his for
mer home here in 1872. During his stay
| met and found him sturdy, fine old
