About the same time Carlotta, who
had a small house OF her own in the
Rue du Faubourg st. Honore. rang for
her maid. who brought her letters to
her bed. Among them was an anony-

a hesitating. clumsy hand, which ran:

moment when you open your mouth

The letter took away Carlotta's ap-

Bacchus for a sign. Siebel made her
entrance. Christine Daae looked
charming in her boys clothes: and
Carlotta's partisans expected to hear
would have enlightened them as to
the intentions OF her friends. But
nothing happened.
On the other hand, when Margarita
crossed the stage and sang the only
two lines allotted her in this second
act:
mo. my lord. not lady am 1. nor yet
a beauty.
And do not need an arm TO help me on
my way
Carlotta was received with enthusias-
tic applause. It was SO unexpected
and so uncalled for that those who
knew nothing about the rumors
looked at one another and asked what
was happening. And this act also was
finished without incident.
Then everybody said: "Of course. 1t
will be during the next act"
Some, who seemed to be better In
formed than the rest. declared that the

the King OF Thule and rushed to the
subscribers entrance to warn Carlot-
TIA. The managers left the box during
the entr'acte to find out more about
the cabal OF which the stage-manager
had spoken; but they soon returned
to their seats. struggling their shout

silly.
The first thing they saw, on enter

sweets on the little shelf OF the ledge.
Who had put it there? They asked
the box-keepers. but none OF them
knew. Then they went back to the
shelf and next to the box OF sweets

PROFESSOR CLAIMS
HE HASN'T SLEPT
in 20 YEARS

Boston, Feb. ia Harvard pro-
fessor who has not slept for twenty
years, but has taken his rest in the
twilight state" is the subject of in
yestigation by the psychological labo-
ratory of the university in the state
psychological hospital The twilight
state" in which the subject retains
consciousness, is declared to be a
scientific relaxation more satisfying
than sleep, restoring the bodily vigor
in about half the time required by
sleep
The identity of the Harvard pro-
fessor is kept secret. Professor Hugo
Munsterberg, director of the psyche
logical laboratory at Harvard, who is
personal friend of the sleepless
educator, has made a close study of
his case. Professor Munsterberg
said his experience showed that it is
scientifically possible to sleep with
out complete loss of consciousness.
To assist in experiments in
state psychopo hospital on the
twilight state" a special easy chair
has been constructed. 1t is described
as device to aid subjects to relax.
