FEAR BERNHARDT
CANNOT BE CURED
Physicians Say She Has Bone
Disease-Shrinks from
Artificial Leg.

Paris, Dec. 23.-Sarah Bernhard. a
report Of whose dangerous illness was
denied yesterday, is now said TO be
afflicted with malsdy OF the bones,
which is obscure and perhaps incursble.
This affliction, however, does not pre-
vent her from giving occasional public
Rotations while sitting in a chair.
These performances are artistic and ef-
fective.
Nine. Bernhard is going ahead with
the arrangements for her American
tour. Nevertheless, she doubts wheth-
er she ever will be able TO undertake
the trip. She does not get on very well
with ar artificial leg, almost every va
riety of which has been presented to
her by makers or BY friends. She intends
to test all of them and then use the
one she likes best. In reality she trusts
herself to no model and seems TO falter
at trying any of them out. One spe-
cialist questions whether Nine. Bern
hardt ever will walk easily. She uses
two canes and is assisted by two per-
sons on entering the theatre.
Nine. Bernhard shows remarkable pa
thence. She laughs and jokes and is
the wit Of any gathering about her.
The recent diagnosis showing that
she has a disease Of the bones is ex-
pected TO give rise to frequent reports
that she is dying, but her friends say
that these rumors should be received
with caution.

A lonely form in a quiet room.
When the fire is burning low;
he sits and dreams. in the crimson gloom,
Watching the embers glow.
He recalls the touch of a tiny hand,
And cheek that was soft and warm
The rustlng fall of a cindered brand
Resounds above the storm.

Alone tonight in room that is still, n
From whence all cheer has fed;
He sits, for ne can't do a thing until
The kids are tucked in bed.

And that brings us to the
Stunts" which the heroine OF
the great railroad series puts
over"
Here is one about which she
told me: The feature of the pic
ture required her to jump off an
open drawbridge with baby In
her arms. To add peril as well
as thrills to the situation, an en-
CINE attached to several freight
cars was run up behind her, and
when 1t reached to within about
three feet of her she knew 1t was
her cue to JUMP.
81 knew l was going to be a
little scared" she said, 80 I told
the engineer to come slowly and
II l didn't jump when 1t was time
to stop the train.
"He calmly informed me that
nothing on earth could stop that
engine quick enough to save me.
"Well, l decided to take the
chance. I walked down the bridge.
They swung up the other half of
It, leaving the treacherous look
ing deep water beneath me. The
engine came pounding on behind
and I knew 1t was time to move.
