somewhere in a tie-up in the middle
west.
Lucia walked on the stage. She
heard the applause of the audience as
an accustomed thing, she glanced in
differently into the packed masses and
bowed: and then she saw Lawrence's
face, and he might have been her sole
auditor, for everybody else was but a
blur in the darkened auditorium.
She had never seen him since they
parted. Now he sat in the third row
of the parquet. watching her. He was
hardly changed, but somehow the look
on his face told her that his soul was
hers, and that across the intervening
years their spirits would leap together
if only pride permitted. She turned.
And then, for the first time in her eX-
perience. Lucia Clay forgot her lines.
For on the canvas background was
the little cottage of her memories.
There was the clematis over the door,
there were the everblooming roses and
the sweet williams. And then Lucia
was back in fairyland with her lover
again.
How she stumbled through her part
she never knew. Once or twice,
waking out of a sort of dream, she saw
the other members of the company re-
garding her with wonder. But when
the curtain fell the last thing she saw
was Lawrence's eyes looking into her
own. and the old spell was on her, and
she hurried to her dressing room,
avoiding the anxious questions of her
friends. She knew that an influence
stronger than either of them had ta-
ken possession Of them and had hum
bled their pride and enunciated the
ancient law that marriage should last
as long as they two should live.
She found him at the stage door,
and because there was nothing to be
said she took him by the arm and led
him back upon the darkened stage.
And there, by the feeble glimmer OF
the gas jets in the wings, they stood
together before the little cottage and
their vows we're plighted.
Mr.. Prescott, have some news for
you" said Miss Clay that evening. i
am going to leave the stage"
You, Miss Clay! Why-why, you
can't mean it, you who have won
national reputation. We have looked
forward to still greater triumphs fol
! you"
But that doesn't mean anything tc
me now" answered Miss Clay, smiling
You see-I am engaged to be mar
ried."

WOODEN LEG WON A HUSBAND
Happy Man So Satisfied With Previous
Ventures That He Made De-
termination to Stick.

Augustus Hare used to relate how a
certain lady was wooed and won for
the sake of her cork leg.
One day, not long after her marriage,
she was, during her husbands tenn
porary absence. urged by curiosity to
open a wardrobe that had always been
kept religiously fastened, and found
therein, to her terror, two wooden legs.
each of which was labeled with the
name Of lady, carefully put away
on one of the shelves.
Filled with dismay, she sought some
mutual acquaintance, to whom she con-
fided her gruesome discovery. only to
be assured that, although the false
limbs were indeed those Of her hus-
bands two former wives. there was no
cause for alarm, for her husband, who
had originally welded a one-legged
lady, had been so happy in his mar
rage that, on her death, he had vowed
never to mate again save with wife
similarly circumstanced
A short while afterward he met
lady who fulfilled the required stipula-
ton. Her he courted and won. His
second venture. even more felicitious
than the first, had caused him, on his
beloved partners decease. to renew his
former vow. the outcome Of which was
his present happy union. This expla-
ton calmed the wife's alarm. for she
now recognized that the wooden legs
were not only memen:oes of past but
guarantees of future happiness.-Lon-
