Tommy took the book again, but he
had borrowed Dolly's moroseness. He
read now in voice unstressed, sullen,
barely audible
AT the close of the rehearsal Dolly
apologized to Quaile.

she defended herself. Remember, it
takes me back forty years. These new
faces don't belong. They make me miss

She glanced over her shoulder She
spoke sharply:
"There's a cat around here.
Quaile started
Not unusual on any stage" he an
swered.
"But | haven't seen one," she said,
looking from side to side with perplexed
manner.
"Then why are you so sure?'
"I'm one of those unfortunates, she
replied. "Cats give me the creeps. l
can feel them before I've seen or heard
them. They make me want to scream.
They make me think Of death"
Quaile tried to laugh incredulously.
Nevertheless he spoke to McHugh, who
directed Tommy to make an exhaustive
search of the place. The next morning
Tommy reported his perfect confidence
that there was no cat in the building
FOR several days the rehearsals pro-
gressed with smooth haste.
But Carlton, returning after week,
brought back restlessness and dismay to
the building. BY chance, Quaile met
him on the sidewalk at the alley entrance
The man did not look very ill, but his
eyes were unsteady. His movements
lacked smoothness.
Quaile shook hands.
"I'm glad to see you back, Carlton;
but you don't like your part" he said

Carlton was frank.

He whisted few bars, off key, from
a popular song.
"Curtain!'
He hauled at thin air with his hands.
Empty stage. Enter Dolly Como

They stumbled through the first two
acts to an accompaniment of valuable
sarcasm.
CARLTON held Quaie's attention. The
mechanics of good actor survived,
but that was all. His work showed no
animation. His voice was uneven, his
gestures futile AS the third act started.
it was clear enough that Carlton faced
with reluctance the big scene during which
Woodford had died. 1t was at that point
that he had left, the uay of the reading.

was unthinkable; but Quaile confessed
his doubt by strolling down to the foot
lights and leaning over so that he could
see the switchboard.
Dolly's sharp exclamation altered his
thoughts. He turned to the old woman
The color had left her face Her eyes
sought every corner of the stage, even
explored the shadowed auditorium
whats this?" McHugh roared.
Jump on the chairs, girls. Dolly sees

But Quaile knew, and he guessed that

woman. He tried to caution her with
glance; but her eyes were still vainly
seeking. She spoke from a tight throat.
NO. But, tell you, there is cat on

Carlton swayed against the table. He
clutched the edge staring at Dolly like
one who has seen prophecy fulfilled

Barbara tried to quiet her.

Carlton took long breath He
Strengthened and resumed his speech.
But his voice lacked body.

assurance. Her denunciation failed to
ring with conviction. When she defed

Barbara shrank against the WALL her

Abruptly Carlton turned, lifting the

Carlton looked up.

"you'd better throw the part over. It's

Carlton raised his glass. His voice
groped.
"May be waiting for me-"
"Of course we've BEEN"
"Not you," Carlton said slowly.
Quaile gasped.
"Who, then? You're off your head,
Carlton. Should say-what, them"
"Probably that" Carlton answered.
TT was impossible to read derision in
his voice, or to suspect hoax in his
haggard appearance Either the man had
been drinking, or else he was, for the mo-
ment unbalanced. Those alternatives
must have been in his own mind, for he
burst forth defensively:
"Im not off my head, though I'd
rather think what you do"
"Good Lord, Carlton You haven't
been brooding over that old woman's

Carlton admitted. I'D had my first

His face twitched. He looked up APP

lated Quaile.
"Warnngs!"
"4eS. There have been several"
Quaile's interest grew. Warnings were
tangible factors whose source could be
traced.
"How did they Gomez" he asked eagerly.

"Out of the air." Carlton answered.
"That's as near as one can put it. Out

that Carranza, impressed with the
urgency of the situation had order
ed the captured cavalrymen started
for the border without waiting for
his announcement of the action to

While II generally is conceded that
this move lessons tension and makes
