Reville was widower and Vernier
bachelor. Reville's wife had died
shortly after their marriage, after
giving birth to daughter.
Whenever Vernier met Reville
walking with his little daughter he
always felt his heart softening
towards his rival, and he said to
himself: "How happy Reville must

Every newspaper in Paris criticized
Vernier's acting as far below his
usual standard and simultaneously it
was announced that Revllle's con-
dition was almost hopeless.
One day gentleman appeared at
the hospital and asked permission to
see Revlle. 1t was Vernier. The
patient was half conscious. but as
Vernier entered the room he raised
his head from the pillow and
whispered:

meanwhile where is Lady Lucy?
Lady Lucy is coming towards him,
on the arm OF Sir Chauncy Bit, the
eminent Queens Counsel. She Is
dressed as china shepherdess, Is
the poor little soul. She looks less
plain tonight than she has ever
looked. Her drab-colored hair Is
hidden under snowy powder; her In.
visible eyebrows are stippled up art
fully with Indian ink. Her sallow
little cheeks have q glow of artificial
rose upon them, her insignificant
little figure is made pretty by pannier
and sacque. Diamonds glitter all
over her, from the handle of her
ribboned crook to the insteps Of her
neat little feet. from her gay
stomacher to the topmost puff of her
powdered head. Lady Lucy Firkin,

Reville said almost inaudibly, and
the enmity Of many years vanished
in this handshake.
You don't know how happy 1t

on. "You are and always have been

Another actor, therefore, took
Reville's part. and everybody was
wondering how Vernier would treat
the understudy, who. by the way,
was one OF his friends and admirers.
The first performance was given
to a crowded house, but people could
scarcely make themselves believe
