THEIR LAST STRAW

The small touring company had
found business wretchedly bad, and
many disconnected murmurs went
round.
"The advance booking in the next
town is good" had been the man

hope that held the little company
together-this and the promise that
all arrears in salaries would be set
tied.
At last, in the late hours of one
Sunday evening, the company
reached the city Of its hopes.
