Clemins Culpepper.
Actress
By Annie Hinrichsen

Press)
Richard Seymour caught his breath
quickly and leaned forward in his seat.
1t was only resemblance which had
startled him, he assured himself. Dor
othy Blair would not be playing q
minor part in second-rate company.
This tired, work-aged actress with
Dorothy's clear, beautiful eyes could
not be the charming young woman
who three years before had refused to
marry him.
He had gone abroad Immediately
after her refusal and bits of home
gossip reached him at long intervals.
He heard that Dorothy, pursuing q
dream she had always cherished, had
gone on the stage. OF her success or
failure he had heard nothing. Tonight,
his first evening in his own land. he
had gone into this theater because 1t
was near his hotel.
The woman on the stage played her
Insignificant part with a mediocrity of
ability. Her work was not good and II
was not conspicuously bad. It was
commonplace, and the audience paid
little attention to her. On the bill her
name was Clemina Culpepper.
Seymour's surprise at what he had
considered resemblance became ap'
prehension, dread and at last an ach
ing horror. The actress was Dorothy
The hard, strained voice, the stih
/ stereotyped movements, the lines and
shadows which showed beneath the
paint had belonged to the Dorothy he
had known. Only her eyes were un
changed, and by them he recognized
her.
When the play had ended, he was al

strength. Neither sword of hero nor
spear of warrior could so much as
start the goose flesh on his leathern
hide
And he waxed holder and holder in
his pride until he was heard one day
to shout: Il am proof against every.
thing! Thor himself has no spear
that can harm mel"
Now when Thor heard Of this boast
he bent his brows and swore in his
beard. Then he threw down his ham,
mer and called for his great sword
Balmung. the ancestor Of all swords
the sword with edge so fine that no
lightest hair could balance across II
without dropping in twain. And Thor
grasped Balmung and went forth in
search Of the giant.
When the giant saw him coming he
showed all his teeth in one terrific
grin and cried: "Ho! Here Is where
we show them" and barred his
swarthy bosom.
Then Thor strobe three strides for.

Balmung he smote the giant fair

But the giant. looking down. saw
only a thin red line around his fat
stomach, and feeling no hurt, he cried
triumphantly. 20, Thor. have I not

Then the giant began to shake him.

Work at last"
The man who uttered the words
spoke in satisfied way. yet face and
manner showed a wearied, stolid un-
dertone.
He was known In the modest board
ing house as Cecil Wayne, but that
was not his name. Nor were the
bearded face appendages becoming to
him. He wore them as might a man
disguise. because he had a deep
secret to conceal. because he feared
that after two years someone might
stop him on the street and say
sternly:
you are Ronald Warne!"
For he was a man hunted, despised,
tabooed, his tortured soul told him
fifty times day. After sojourning,
almost in hiding, in a desolate part
Of western Canada, he had stolen
back to his native country to die, he
hoped, for life held no comfort for
him, no prospects, no ambition

bitterly, Il hoped to forget, but
