down.
He would go to her after the act
was over. He wanted her as he had
never wanted her before For her
sake he would lay aside the last
vestige of his pride, for her sake he
would confess his folly; and for his
own sake he would beg for the glory
of her love.
He could not see her face through
the misty curtain that floated before
his own. He put his hand to his eyes
and was surprised to find it wet. He
looked again. He could not see her
now.
The curtain fell; the lights went up.
But Lillian was not there.
Was she dream only, born of his
imagination and his desires? No,
there was the empty seat, and there,
even, was little glove. dropped from
her lap. He could not but know Lii
lian's glove. He picked it up and
pressed it to his lips reverently; then
suddenly he found that people we're
staring at him. He glanced round
him wildly-and all at once became
aware that all eyes were turned upon
the stage and that a storm of applause
had broken loose all over the theater.
He looked up. Lillian was standing
before the curtain, and her bow was
to the crowd; but her eyes were on
his.
Then suddenly Langdon understood.
She was the author; she had sue
ceeded where he had failed, and she
had put all the sorrow and suffering
of both Of them into the story. And
even as he watched her she was gone,
and he stood still in the aisle among
the moving crowds.
The second seat was empty. Lang
don slipped into it. and presently he
saw her coming down the aisle toward
him. Her head was very high, her
cheeks aflame with happiness. And
she sat down at his side.
"Lillian!" he whispered hardly dar-
ing to look into her eyes. ct was

GREATEST POWER IN NATURE
Force of Waves of the Ocean Is Some
thing That Is Almost Beyond
Common Belief.

The average inland American who
has never seen the ocean has no idea
of the force of it's waves. He reads
about the storm, of boats being car
ried away and bulwarks stove. But
he does not realize the steam ham,
mer blows that may be struck by mere
water.
A recent storm on the British coast
received the official designation of a
storm of extreme force" A picture
taken in Hastings harbor shows the
conclusions with which the waves
struck the sea wall, sending spray,
apparently higher than the buildings
along the street. Blocks of concrete
and iron railing were torn from the
new parade extension at Caroline
place and tossed back into the road
way as if they had been bits of plank.
Timber work that had withstood the
stress of years was torn apart and
carried away. Easements were flood
ed along all the seward face OF the
town.
Such storm when it sweeps over
a ship will sometimes carry away
everything on deck. Deck houses are
often smashed and the life boats are
often stove in and ruined
Various attempts have been made to
devise motors to develop power from
the force of the waves. The amount
of energy wasted through their lack of
success is beyond estimate. II the
power Of the sea could be used it
would drive machinery for an unlim-
tied number of plants.

Senate Of Samos,

The Second Chamber of Samos must
be about the smallest in the world.
Four persons. representing the four
districts of the island, constitute the
Samian senate. They are chosen by
the prince from a list of eight annual
ly submitted by the National assem-
bly,, and their qualifications are 80
years of age and ability to read and
write.
A debate in the Samian senate can
not be a very tremendous affair. But
we recall that 1t was to Samians over
1000 years ago that the Spartans gave
a lesson against verbosity. Having
heard the eloquent tale of the Samian
exiles, they said: I'VE have forgot
ten the first part of your speech, and
do not understand the rest" Then
the Samians brought an empty wallet
and said, Our wallet has no meal In
It." Your wallet is superfiuous," said
the Spartans, meaning that either the
actual wallet or the word was unnec.
eSsary.

AFTER THE LAST ACT
Story Of Suffering and Sorrow
of Two Lovers in Play.
BY RICHARD BENNETT.

Arthur Langdon had gone into the
theater quite accidentally; he had
been dining with a friend who was
suddenly called away, and, passing
homeward to his lodgings on Forty
third street. he had stopped and found
himself gazing with passing interest
at the poster representing Miriam
Grey in THE Looking-Glass." Under
meath the picture was pasted a slip
bearing the words Opening night"
Langdon looked at the picture with
increasing anger and disdain. He i'm
agined the morrow's criticisms-out-
fiowings of eulogy upon "a great heart
drama" or "a triumph of art" by some
new dramatist-Paul Smith, this au-
thor called himself-who imagined
that he had penetrated into the
arcana of the universe and shared in
every human experience!
Then he bought a ticket and went
in, in bitter mood, in order to sneer
So the curtain went up and the per
Torrance began, and Langdon, sitting
in his seat. prepared to satiate his
chagrin and contempt.
He had devoted five years Of his
life to play writing, and every effort
had come back to him with the barest
formality Of reply. So he had
abandoned that field to reap a fair
success as a story writer. But the
failure of his earlier efforts had en-
Uttered him against those whose
struggles had been rewarded.
Yet when Miriam Grey came on and
captivated the attention of the au-
dience; when the plain, simple story
gradually began to make it's way into
the hearts of the audience; when sobs
punctuated the silence, Langdon found
himself gripped, enthralled, by the
writer's power, but it was not until

the second act was half over that he
subsidized, very white, very determined,
and sick with the sudden upwelling of
memory. For this was his play, and
in it he had told the story of his own
tragedy.
1t was a common enough story
that of the separation of two lovers.
1t had happened to him three years
before, when his fiancee, Lillian Wal
tiers, and he had had their quarrel.
But both were proud and both were
young; and so the little quarrel had
become a big one, and finally he had
left her in anger, to find when he
was ready to ask forgiveness that she
had gone away. He had found no
trace of her since that day, though
he had sought far and wide. Once she
had had literary aspirations, too; he
had hoped to hear of her In some Of
the magazine offices, but she had dis

edge of all who had known her.
He watched the development Of the
drama, the tragedy that set forth.
word by word, line by line, an in
delible picture that revived each sim
gle memory and scared him to the
heart. 1t was his! 1t was he who
had written this and offered 1t to a
manager the year before. hoping that
in the final stage reconciliation Lillian
would read his own hopes and
dreams; that she would see it and re-
member their love and come back to
him. And the play, rejected every

to enable some manager to make a
copy of 1t and steal it and have II
produced.
There was no mistaking that. Skill
| fully as it had been changed and re
written, though every word had beer
put through the crucible of the man
ayers mind, yet the play had emerged
the same. 1t was his play! 1t wa.
his play! And he would have jus
tice.
Suddenly, at the height of the sec
ond act, when the most tense still
ness brooded over the darkened thea
ter, Langdon was impelled to glance
across the aisle. A woman sat there
watching him, upon her mouth tn,
faintest vestige of smile. But Their,
might have been tears in her eyes
in Lillian's eyes.
II was Lillian. He knew her i'm

Their now we can't exactly turn him

Ross, pursuing her lips. There was a
stubborn set to her features which Ed
win Ross knew from of old.
But we had to take the old man,
Bessie argued her husband. I'VE

He'd have been sight better of

Ross sighed. He knew his wife was
not naturally hard, and yet of late her
antipathy toward his father had been
growing more pronounced. She had,
as a matter of fact, warmly seconded
his proposal that when they pulled up
stakes the old man should accompany
them.
At twenty-five Edwin Ross, year
married. had suggested to Bessie that
they should quit their life of hardship
in the western city and try their for
tune in the newly-irrigated lands Of
Nevada. They had been lured by an
INSCRIPTIONS land agent. Fabulous
crops, he told them, could be raised
there. They moved, with their little
capital of five hundred dollars. And
their establishment began as soon as
they got out of the train and stared
about them at the barren land

the agent had said nothing of the
heartbreaking spade work that was
