The Mysterious Reason.
During this time, the farewell cere

remarked that the retiring managers

The foyer of the ballet is the last
place in which two men SO knowing
as NJ. Debienne and NJ. Poligny would
have made the mistake OF betrayins
their grief, however genuine 1t might
be. And they were already smiling
rather too broadly upon Sorelli, who
had begun to recite her speech, when
an exclamation from Jammes broke
the smile brutally.
The opera ghost!"
Jammes yelled these words n q
tone of unspeakable terror: and her
finger pointed, among the crowd OF
handles. to a face SO pallid that the
deaths head in question Immediately
scored a huge success.

Everybody laughed and pushed his
neighbor and wanted to oner the
opera ghost a drink, but he was gone

The retiring managers had already
handed over to their successors the
two tiny master-keys which opened
all the doors-thousands O. doors-of
the opera house. And those keys
were being passed from hand to hand,
