As TOLD BY A DANCER
When She ranced, Her Brain
Was as Busy as Her
Nimb!e Toes.
Bv JOHN FRANCIS MACKENZIE.

When Lottie danced her brain was
as busy as her tees. Her famous
snake dance had been the rage in
London and New York during the
season. In three months Lcttie lad
made more money than she had earn
ed before during the whole eight years
of her working life.
Lottie had always known that she
could dance. But that money was to
be made in dancing had seemed an
absurd idea-would have seemed 90.
II anybody had suggested it to her.
In those days Of which she was think
ing she had danced round her little
hall room until the roomers below had
complained to the landlady: that was
the extent Of her dancing.
The young fellow in the second row
Of the stalls, with the foolish. dissi-
pated face, was watching her again.
She knew him, though he did not
know her: in fact. she knew him In.
timately, and she reflected on this
with a little smile Of amusement which
the audience mistook for stage
pleasantly. She had been pestered
by him for a week now. First bou.
Guets had come with little notes In
them, then letters. Once he had tried
to speak to her at the stage door.
She had put the flowers In water,
tossed the notes and the letters away
unread, and brushed past him as quiet
ly as though he were lump Of mud
in the street. Still he persisted. He
had not always been so persistent, in
those days of which Lottie was think.

ing girl. and she often wished that
Joe could earn a little more than his
SIS week as tally clerk.
Then Young Mr.. Jones-the one
with the foolish face, In the second
row-had seen her and asked who she
was. And he had taken her out to
supper. Both were young and simple
then, and both knew that they were
madly in love with each other. And
Young Mr.. Jones had asked her to
marry him.
Can a girl love two men at the same
time? Perhaps Lottie really loved
neither. She ives very fond Of slow,
easy-going Joe, but this was different.
Joe soon discovered where she spent
these evenings. Once he waited for
her outside the restaurant and would
have made a scene had not Lottie
managed to calm him. That night
Young Mr.. Jones asked Lottie to mar.

refusing the only son of a millionaire,
and just cut of foolish principle. But
that was the way in which she had
been trained. Stay, though. how very
unprincipled it was to throw over
Joe, just for the comfort that Young
Mr.. Jones could offer her! She was
sure now that she had always been
in love with Joe. But eight years ago
Lottie had not been certain at all,
and Young Mr.. Jones, with his foolish
face, had possessed an indescribable
glamor. He had altered q good deal
since then.
Anyway, her action was disastrous
for Joe, because he did just the sort
Of thing his easy-going. slow-moving
mind would have been expected to

but the bullet had injured the spine.

Lottie shook her head and walked

Mr.. Jones lived in daily fear Of re-
ceiving lawyers letter. But 1t never
came. and he never saw Lottie again.
Lottie had stopped dancing now
and was bowling to IN .applauding
house. The foolish young man in the
second row was clapping his gloved
hands fatuously. Lottie looked at
him derisively. It was for that poor
wretch that Joe had shot himself; 1t
was for him that the course Of her
life had been altered: that she had
been driven into dancing in cheap
cabarets and at amateur nights, en-.
during SCOTS and insults, to earn a
miserable living when the department
stores learned about Young Mr.. Jones
and refused to engage her. Lottie
swept OF the stage and put on her
clothes.
At the stage door she saw Young

hand. Young Mr.. Jones planted him

Lottie gave him box on the ears that
