He was standing near when she leap

to the center of the ring to blow her
final kisses to the multitude. 1t oc-
Cured to him all at once that he was
staring at this wonderfully graceful,
fairylike little creature with the eyes
of a delighted spectator and not as a
clown. He guilty looked for a repri-
mand from Grinaldi. To his surprise
and disappointment she passed him by
without sign of recognition. slipping
her tiny feet into the ground shoes and
shutting off to the dressing tent with
the stride peculiar to ring performers.
For moment he felt as if she had
struck him in the face. 50 quick was
his pride to resent the slight.

Joey Grinaldi laid himself out to
make the going easy for his gentle

with a strange gratitude He unbent
suddenly and met the rough kindnesses
more than halfway. They We're not
the kind of men he was used TO. but
they stood ready to be his friends
Simple, genial. unpublished bFaggarts

for herself now. 1t is the turning point.
You must know. David, you must see
that she is not like the others here
she is like you,' he said, very
simply.
The blood surged once more to her
cheeks: her lips parted with the quick
breath of joy and gratitude She
thanked him very gently, very gravely-
No word was uttered against the man
who was Christine's father.
81 prayed last night. David. that you
might stay with the show until the end
of this season. / am determined that
it shall be her last, no matter what
it may cost both of u.s."
Cost both of u.s." thought he. and
at once knew what she meant. The
cost. if necessary. would be the hus-
band and father.
Then she told him, in hurried SEN
fences. that she had watched him in
the ring and that her daughter had
come back to her with glowing re-
ports of his composure and cleverness-
David's pride. at least. was appeased-
She had looked at him, after all, and
was interested.
He was struck by the sudden, curl
Gus change that came over Mrs. Brad
docks lace. She was looking past
him toward the entrance to the circus
tent. All the color, all the eagerness
left her face IN a fash: the warmth
died out in her big brown eyes and
in its stead appeared a look of positive
dread and uneasinessLit might have
been repugnance. Thomas Braddock
was approaching, his face red with
anger and drink At his side walked
tall. exceedingly well dressed
stranger who carried his silk hat in
his hand and was smiling blandly
upon the proprietor's wife.
ooh. that man again. he heard her
say between her stiff lips. There was
a world of loathinC In the half whisp-
cred sentence. which was so low that
1t barely reached his ears. He looked
up quickly and saw her face 90 darkly
red again-the red OF humiliation. he
could have sworn.
Cor she said to David quietly. but
firmly.

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

David Jenison, young Virginlan,
hunted as a fugitive, seeks refuge IN
der a circus tent. He is found asleep
by Grinaldi, the clown, otherwise Joey
Noakes. In the dressing tent Grinaldi
recognizes him as the hoy murderer,
for whose capture $500 reward is Of
fered- Braddock's circus is in money
difficulties. and Braddock. in spite of
the protests of his wife and daughter,
who are impressed by David's declara-
ton of innocence, roughly demands
that the boy be surrendered to the au-
thorities. Braddock changes his mind
when David produces $4,000, an inheri-
lance from his father. of which he Of
fers Braddock the amount of the re-
ward if permitted to remain. He be-
comes a clown to evade his pursuers
and later is stuffed into a circus wagon.
At the next stop Braddock offers him
steady position and warns him to de-
posit the rest of the Inheritance with
him. But Mrs. Braddock, distressing
her husband, already has taken the
money for safe keeping.

ing at 'er, Jacky. that she amt no
common pusson. She's quality, as you
Virginians would say. And for that
matter so is Colonel Grand. after a
fashion-that to say. he comes of
very good old New Orleans family. He
spoilt it all by being a colonel In the
Union army during the war; He
wasn't for the north because he was
pa triotic. but because he knowed the
north would win and he saw is chance
to get rich. He's just a material born
gambler. OF course. he amt been
back to New Orleans since the war. l
understand is own brothers intend to
shoot i'm If he does go back He
went to Washington to live and he
made a pile of money promoting

La Volense D'Enfants

La Nolense D' D'Enfants, a dramatic comedy in a prologue and five acts, was presented in St. Johns hall last Thursday evening under the direction of l.. A. Beandreault. The east was the best amateur talent in the Canada an Athletic Club, and the heapty ap. plause that greeted their efforts deno- ted that their work was well done. It was conceded by all who saw it to be the best amateur play in French ever produced here. It was also great success financially.
 While all carried their parts well some deserve special mention.
 Ovilla Guertin as Atkins added new laurels 10 his well known talent. Ar mand Magnan as Lord Traveiian was seen to advantage, speaking hisHpart ton due to his past experience which gave him perfect command Of himself Frank Bissllon as Oliver Sidney also made good A. A Brodeur in the comedy part, Pibrock, was decided hit and he kept the audience in roars of laughter in his inimitable interpre . tallon df Che comedy role. r. E. Bon in, as Jacobson, a policeman, carried out this long and difficult part2with great credit. Miss M Louise Guerin as sarah Waters, the title role, carried her part To perfection, although hay ing short experience before the foot lights. This adds to the credit she de serves, for the manner in which she handled -the prominent part. Miss Emerence Charron, as Fanny, the sou brette, showed ability. The support was good throughout and the whole production deserves the highest cred it
 It is expected that the play will be produced by request in some of the larger near by places in the near fu- ture.
