the day when a grandchild would
come to brighten it. Now that hope
was cut off forever.
Five years after Millie had left the
house Jim Rogers went to the metro
polls for the first time since his mar

She went with him, and the jour-

were lost in the great city; they wan

Jim's eyes daTkened. Samantha
saw what had upset him. Upon a
billboard in front of a vaudeville
house was the announcement of
Madame Chantena's Farewell APP
pearance."
She was to give her last perform
ance at the house that night before
retiring. And the picture was so like
that of Mile that-that it might be
Mile herself.
Jim Rogers took his wife by the
arm and hurried her away. They
spent a miserable afternoon in their

"All right, father" replied his wife,
looking up from her sewing.
No sooner had he gone than she
put on her bonnet. Whatever he

He sat, staring eagerly at the Jug
glers. This wasn't so bad. This
wasn't sin. Ha! What would come
next?
Next was a comedian with a red
nose, who was tainted and leased by
lady with an abbreviated skirt. At
the sight of her Jim Rogers anger
rose. This was sin! This was a
spectacle for folks eyes. His wife,
too, bridled with indignation. But
when she saw the look on her hUs-
bands face she forgot her own feel
ings. Jim Rogers was rising from
his seat. He meant to denOUnce this
performance to call upon the people
to arise and.
"Sit down! Sit down. they bawI-

He collapsed with a helpless sort
of feeling, and then, while his mind
was still in uncertainty, Madame
Chantella came on the stage, beau

music in her hand. Jim Rogers
gasped. 1t was Mile!
Then she began to sing. It was

was the other thing?
When she retired, amid a thunder
of applause, Jim rose Unsteadily and
made his way out At the entrance
he found himself face to face with
