Company, in comedy. The boy made
good, and at the an-satisfying sum of
SIS week, he grew in the acting art
more than as captain of industry.
Deeply fattered by being made the
understudy of the whole company in
''The Dairy Farm" his next venture,
he gained experience thick and fast,
for the actors somehow were always
quitting and throwing the job onto
the young Thespian. In this way, it
was not long before Earle was play
ing, one time or another, every male
part in the play.
Then with Tim Murphy in one
night stands and with William H
Thompson in THE Bishops Move"
Earle's first New York engagement
came with Henrietta Crossman and
later Bertha Galland in Sweet Kitty
Bellairs." Nearly year was then
spent in vaudeville when he joined
Mary Mannering in the original cast
of Glorious Betty" He was chosen
for the original company presenting
"The Shepherd King" at the Knicker-
becker theater, after which his YER
satfIity and ability found vent in the

Earle later appeared with James T.

sons with Marie Cahill in Boys and
Betty" and then with De Wolfe Hop

last stage appearance was with Ina
Claire and Clifton Crawford in ''The

He was with the Famous Players
and Pathe before he went to Edison,
where his graphic power is shown in
admirable restraint in well-remem-

of movements; but at the pause she
started fished the required coins from the
purse, and laid them at Madame's elbow.
"Merci, Mademoiselle, said Madame;
and then, and not till then, the stamp de-
scended upon the paper. A flick with
scratchy pen completed the receipt, and
Madame turned to hand it to Annette
with her weekly smile.
"Good morning, Mademoiselle. Thank
you; good luck
The mirthless smile discounted the
words; the cold, avid eyes were busy and
suspicious. But Annette had had six
weeks of training in the art of preserving
cheerful countenance.
"Good morning, Madame" she smiled,
with her gay little nod, and reached the
door in good order.
THERE was still Aristide, the lame man
of-all-work, who absorbed weekly
franc and never concealed his contempt of
the amount. He was waiting. ON the steps,
leaning on broom, and turned his rats
face on her, sourly and impatiently, with
out word. She paused as she came to
him. and dipped two fingers into the poor
old purse.
"This is for you, Aristide, she said, and
held out the coin.
He took it in his open palm and sur
veyed it with lifted eyebrows. "This?"
he inquired.
"Yes.'
The insult never failed to hurt her.

door of that room which was labeled the
bureau" where bed and bird-cage
and smell of food kept company with
the roll-top desk, stood the patronne,
Madame Mardel.
"Good morning, Mademoiselle Again
charming day!"
She was large woman, grossly fleshy.
Annette knew her for an artist in extras,
vampire that had sucked her purse lean
with deft overcharges, creature without
mercy or morals. But the daily irony of
her greeting had the cordial infection of
a piece of distinguished politeness.
Charming, agreed Annette. She pro-
duced the bill. II may as well pay this
now,' she suggested.
Madame's chill and lively eyes were
watching her face, estimating her solvency
in the light of Madame's long experience
of misfortune and despair. She shrugged
a huge shoulder deprecatingly.
"Thcre is no hurry she said. She al
ways said that. Still, since Mademoiselle
is here"
Madame eased herself, painting, into
the chair before the desk, revealing the
great rounded expanse of her back with
its row of straining buttons and lozenge-
shaped revelations of underwear. With
the busnesslike deliberation of person
who transacts a serious affair with due
seriousness, she spread the bill before
her, smoothing it out with practised
wipe of the hand, took her rubber stamp

the Scrape and crackle OF paper being
pushed under her door. 1t was in this
fashion that the Maison Mardel presented
its weekly bill to its guests.
"Merci" she called aloud, leaving her
dressing to go and pick up the paper. A
pant from without answered her, and the
slipper thudded away.
Standing by the door, with arms and
shoulders bare, she unfolded the docu-
ment, long sheet with printed column
of items and large inky figures in francs
and centimes written against them, and
down in the right-hand corner the dra-
matte climax of the total. 1t was the
total that interested Annette Kelly.
"H'm!" 1t was something between
gasp and a sigh. "They're making the
most of me while last"
Her purse was under her pilow-an old
and baggy affair of shagreen, whose torn
lining had to be explored with forefnger
for the coins it swallowed. She emptied
it now upon the bed. The light of Paris
summer morning, golden and serene,
flowed in at the window, visiting the pow
erty of the little room with its barren
benediction, and shining upon the figure
of Annette as she bent above her money
and counted it. She was slender girl of
some Internationally years, with hair
and eyes of somber brown. Six weeks
of searching for employment in Paris, of
economizing on food, of squirting herself
each morning to the tone of hope and
resolution, of returning each evening foot
sore and dispirited, had little blanched
and touched with tenseness face in which
there yet fingered some of the soft con-
tours of childhood.
CHE sat down beside the money on the
bed, her ankles crossed below her petit
coat. Her accounts were made up After
paying the bill and bestowing one franc
in the unavoidable tip, there would re-
main to her exactly eight francs for her
entire resources. 1t was the edge of the
precipice at last
"Well," said Annette slowly-she had
already the habit of talking aloud to her.
self that comes to lonely people. She
paused. at just means that to-day I've
got to get some work. I've got to!"
She rose, forcing herself to be brisk and
energetic as she dressed The Journal,
with it's advertisements of work, had
come to her door with the glass of milk
and the roll which formed her break
fast, and she had already made a selection
of its more humble possibilities. She ran
them over in her mind as she finished
dressing. Two offices required typists;
she would go to both of them. A cashier
in shop and an English governess were
wanted: "Why shouldn't be govern
ess?" said Annette. And, finally somc-
body in the Rue st. Honore required
young lady of good figure and pleasant
manners for reception There were
others, too; but it was upon these five
that Annette decided to concentrate.
She put on her hat, took her money and
her Journal, and turned to the door. A
curious impulse checked her there, and
she came back to the mirror that hung
above her dressing-table.
"Let's have look at you'll" said Annette
to the reflection that confronted her.
She stood, examining it seriously 1t

trim, quiet figure of girl who might

"Good morning." she said timidly, and
slipped past.
1t needed the gladness of the day, its
calm and colorful warmth, to take the
taste of Aristide out of her mouth. Soon the
stimulus of the thronged streets, the mere
neighborhood of folk who moved briskly
and with purpose, restrung her slackened
nerves, and she was again ready for the
battle. And as she went her lips moved.
"Mind, now!" she was telling herself.
"To-day's the end-the very end. You've
got to get work to-day!'
The first address she went to turned
out to be that of firm of house and
estate agents; it was upon the first
floor, and showed to the landing four
ground-glass doors, of which three were
lettered @Private," while the fourth dis
played an invitation to enter without
knocking. Upon the landing, in the pres
ence of those inexpensive doors behind
which salaries were earned and paid and
life was all that was orderly and desirable,
Annette paused to make sure of herself
"Now!" she said, with deep breath,
and pushed open the fourth door,
WITHIN was an office divided by
counter, and behind the counter desks
and the various apparatus of business.
The desks were unoccupied; the only per-
son present was thin, pretty girl seated
before typewriter. She looked up at
Annette. Her face showed patches of too
bright red on the cheek-bones.
"Good morning. began Annette, with
determined briskness. @I've come"
The girl smiled. "Typist?'
"Yes,' said Annette. 4The advertise
ment-"
She stopped. The girl was still smiling,
but in a manner of deprecating and in
fnitely gentle regret. Annette stared at
her, feeling within again that rising chill
of disappointment with which she was
already SO familiar.
"You mean,' she stammered- -"you
mean-youue got the placer
The thin girl spread her hands apart in
a little French gesture of conciliation.
"Ten minutes ago." she answered.
"There is no one here yet but the manager,
and was waiting at the door when he
arrived.
The sunlight without had lost some of
its quality when Annette came forth to
the street again; it no longer warmed her
to optimism. She stood for some mo-
ments in the doorway of the building.
letting her depression and discourage
ment have their way with her.
"If only might cry bit" she reflected
"That would help little. But mustn't
even do that"
She had to prod herself into fresh brisk
ness with the sense Of her need-that
to-day was the end. She sighed, jerked
her chin up, and set forth again in the di-
rection of the second vacancy for typist.
Here, for while, hope burned high. The
Office was that of firm of thriving wine
exporters, and the post had not yet been
filled. The partner into whose Office she
penetrated was stout, ruddy Marseillais.
"Yes, we want typist,s he admitted;
"but I'm afraid" His amiable brown
eyes scrutinized her with manifest doubt.
