fame, when a suffer, laden with spark
ling gems and with promises Of
wealth and costly surroundings, rode
away with her to the parsons where
the knot was tied.
A complete change came into her
life, which was different in every re-
spect. Gaiety and fascination were
in her past. She had had her own
way before-no one thought of eros
sing her sweet will. She was sur
rounded by dainty clothes, varieties,
invited to choice dinners and wine
suppers, equipages were placed at her
disposal. Even she was advertised
by manufacturers who had her name
and picture on best selling art goods
What she didn't have of homage was
scarce worth mentioning.
All these she gave up, stepped
down and off her pedestal for the love
of a man with neither ambition nor
brains. He was blinded by the glare
of her shimmering robes and coquet-
fish ways on the stage, and with no
other thought gave her his name.
There was little heart emotion with
either. He became supreme ruler of
her life and their home. No adulation
was given her.
First, she reigned over his mansion
and was the envy of all her former
stage friends. Living beyond their
means soon dissipated the fortune
Debts poured in for which the brave
wife gave up her gems and applied
| herself to work to save a few dollars
The result was when all was gone
they quietly moved to a few cheaI
furnished rooms, which she KEEP
neatly while in the pursuit of dress
making to make ends meet. Bravely
she struggled uncomplainingly. For.
tune smiled, but family. She turned
her experience into decentralization
which assisted her with luck, some
times smiled upon her. Hope strug
gled up in her poor heart now anc
/ then, by great effort. Not one o.
the many bright actresses of the pas
ever experienced the brilliancy the!
fondly pictured in their heyday.

THE MYSTERIOUS ONES.

Though the long afternoon when

Down there by the pailings, where
flowers push through,
They're off to the lands where the

They slip past you shyly in rooms,

You hear Of their speeches and
quaint, funny ways,
But little you know Of their tapes

And the hand Of a queen that is prof

You take as the hand of mere "lit-
