He called:
Tommy! Tommy Ball! Go with Mr..
Carlton and see that he gets a taxicab.
Fire ahead, Quaile. It's getting late
Bad enough to have to hear plays on a
full stomach"
Carlton walked from the stage, lurching
little. Quaile watched him go, Curl
ously convinced that fright rather than
illness had urged him. He went on. All
at once he realized how familiar these
words were to the dingy walls, the empty
seats. Yet how different was his voice
from the ones they remembered!
THERE wasn't much more. At the
close he looked up, expecting the usual
chorus of gratitude or disappointment
The company accepted the play in silence.
"Well?" McHugh prompted.

Marjorie, Barbara said.
"Of course you can, McHugh snapped.
'"What do you think l hired you for?"
The Others made equally formal COM
ments.
AS he gathered up the pages of his
manuscript Quaile noticed that Dolly
and Barbara stood apart at a portion
Of the stage toward which the old woman
had glanced often during the reading.
She whispered, and Barbara appeared to
listen with a sort of fascination.
The picture worried Quaile 1t prompt
ed him to meet Barbara, as if by accident,
when she stepped from the stage door.
They spoke aimlessly for few moments.
"Miss Thinker" he said at the first OPP
portunity, Seemed a little reminiscent
to-day. I dare say she was telling you,
just now, how Woodford died. Wasn't it
over there where you stood?"
Barbara nodded.
"Yes. She told me all about his pride
and jealousy and the way he struggled
to go on playing when he was too ill, and
how the black cat ran out"
She drew her coat more closely about
her.
"She gave me the shivers. Said she
had a feeling there was a cat near her all
the time this afternoon.
Quale was uncomfortable. Such a
fancy fitted too neatly with last nights
scare.
I'm sorry" he said.
q. "Why?"
He reached out and touched her hand:
it was cold.
al thought so, he said. "Shes played
on your nerves.

actress, I've always prided myself on hav-
ing none
He smiled, indicating the alley entrance
"Your blues won't last long out there
Shall we go on
He walked to the street with her, and
put her in cab. He experienced
special welcome for himself in the lights
and the activity.
CARLTON did not appear for rehearsal
the next day, but McHugh had talked
with him over the telephone. His doctor
had prescribed few days rest, and Me-
Hugh had sent the part up to him.
"That's a relief he said; "because

WORSE THAN WAITE

Madison Independent-Press: The
!, Renville Star Farmer lsays.& that the
newspapers are wasting lot Of ink
trying to show up the weakness Of the
primary law. Well, it is being vast
ed in q good cause, ism It it, ....
Duluth Herald: No, it is being vast
ed in a bad cause; and surely waste
in bad cause is wickeder than waste
in good cause-if there is such a
thing as waste in good cause: :,
This ink is being wasted not IN
trying to remedy whatever defects
there may be in the Minnesota pri-
mary laws, but in trying to destroy
the principle of the primary and to
make Minnesota take backward
step toward the shame and scandal
and misgovernment and corruption OF
the convention system.
That is waste not only because it is
in a bad cause, but because it is in a
hopeless cause. ,,-..
Minnesota will not abandon the pri-
mary system and return to the con.
vention system. To say that 1T Will
is to say that it is incapable Of learn"
ing lesson or remembering over
night.
The Minnesota primary laws az
not perfect. They can be made bet
ter. But those who are criticizing
them are not, in the main, trying to
make them better, but to kill them:
They should be frank about it, and
not direct their arguments to defects
that can be cured but that they are
not proposing to cure; nor should they
insist that they are for the primary
when they are not. Those who talk
about a primary for the selection OF
delegates to conventions are talking
hypocritically; they are aiming to
xiii the direct primary, and they
ought not to mask as its friends.

Rigid inspection Made.
Military ineficiency, irregularity in

caused the war department action. The
order followed a rigid inspection Of
the Minnesota guard during the win

That this order precipitates a crisis
