AS Daphne stepped into the hallway
she found Clay Wlmburn there, wait
ing grimly. He sprang to his feet with
gasp of relief. He caught sight of
Duane and his Joy died instantly.
Wimburn loved Daphne and wanted
her for his own. He had counted her
his own, and still had neither refunded
the engagement ring nor paid for 1t.
Daphne was more pleased with VIM

licity,

The curtain rose. Miss winsor and
the young man skipped onto their
job; the butler stalked; Eldon entered
and made his exit. Mrs. Yining spread
her skirts and sailed on. then Eldon
went back. Finally Daphne's cue
came.
She was startled little rs Batter
son nudged her forward. She went to
the door and opened IL on her new
career to make her publlcstiebut with
the all-lmportant "How d You dor"
She saw before her the drawing room
In a weird light. Beyond II was a
flercely radiant fog and beyond that
an agglomeration of faces--the mass
of tomato cans that she was not going
to be afraid of.
And she was not afraid. She was
curious to study them. She was enger

membercd them. Then cues came more
or less far apart and each evoked from
her mind the appropriate answer. She
made never slip. and yet she began
to realize that Mr.. Eldon seemed I'M
happy.
At length she realized that the audi
ence was strangely quiet. A sense OF
vaulty emptiness oppressed her. She
went on with her lines. She under
stood at last that she was getting no
laughs. She was not provoking those
punctuating roars that Sheila Kemble
brought forth. The audience had evil

She decided that she must be play

tempo and threw more vivacity into
her manner. She moved brlskly about
the scene, to Eldon's bewilderment.
He seemed unable to find her.
She went through to the bitter end
and spoke every line. But the audi
ence was not with her for moment.
She used all her intellect to find the
secret of its pleasure, but she could
not surprise II. She tried harder and

ton Of wrestling bout, but she could
not score a point.

But when she was In her room she
tore his card to pleees-after she had
looked at II. She stared at her image
In the mirror. She hated what she saw
there.
She vowed to break her promise to

thought nice things but lacked the
courage to say them.
Daphne moved at once into the Chlv-
Wis apartment what belongings she had
brought on from Cleveland. and her
mother promised to dispatch the rest
of them as soon as she reached home.
Wesley could not be persuaded to
stay over an unnecessary night. His
business was in a perilous condition.

"After breakfast" he explained, was

terson was more discouraged than she

CHAPTER XII.

All this while Daphne was kept In
readiness to take Miss Kemble's part
In case the illness of her child should
result In death and in the further case
that she should be unable to finish her
performances. With the theatrical
season in such bad estate and most Of
Reben's companies and theaters losing
money heavily, Sheila Kemble was his
one certain dependence. He called
her his breadwlnner.
Miss Kemble's baby passed the cri-
sis and recovered. And then the
mother, worn out with the double
strain. caught little chill that became
binding, choking cold. She went
through the Saturday matinee In a
whisper, but the night performance
was beyond her.
And now at last Daphne's chance ar
rived. The Saturday night house was
enormous In spite of the heat. There
were enough people there to make
fourteen hundred dollars-twenty-fiv
hundred for the day.
Daphne, trudging to the theater for
her usual stupid rebuff, walked into
this crisis Of her life.
Reben himself knocked at her dress
ing room door where Miss Winsor was
helping her with her makeup. He
implored her to be calm, and he was 50
tremulous that he suffered. He told
her that IL she made good he would let
her play the part till Miss Kemble
got well. He would pay her a hand.
some bonus. He would put her out
at the head Of number two company
next season.
Patterson came at last and ordered
him off the stage. Reben obeyed him
Then PATTERSON talked to her. He told
her that there was no reason to feal
the house. A Saturday night audience

"Go Home and Get married."
She stood In the big void and felt
allen--forever alien. She shook her
head. This place was not for her.
She had been tried in the balance and
found wanting. She wondered If there
were anywhere Il balance that she
could bring down.
She dreaded the forlorn journey
home to her dreary room. AS she

was Tom Duane. He looked very
splck and span. His smile illumlned
the dull street and his hand clasped
hers with saving strength. II lifted
her from the depths like a rope let
down from the sky.
Daphne would have been more con-
tent II Duane had been Clay Wlmburn.
1t was Clay's duty to be there at such
time, Of all times.
OF course he did not know that this
night was to be crucial for her, but
he should have known. Mr.. Duane
knew. It never occurred to Daphne
that Reben had warned Duane OF the
debut of his protegee and had invited
HMM fact, had dared him-to watch
the test of her abilities.
All she knew was that Duane was
proffering homage and smiles and the
prefaces OF courtshlp. Daphne might
have failed to gain the hearts Of her
audience. for all her toll, but here was
heart that was hers without effort.
Perhaps Duane was her career. He
was at least an audience that she could
sway. And she was miserably In need
of some one that would pay her the
tribute OF submission.
So now when he said, "Won't you
let me take you home In my carp she
could hardly snub heayen-sent mes
senger.
She said, "Thank you-you're very
kind-but-" Oh, all rightw And
she bounded in.
When Duane said: 'You must be
hungry after all that hard work.
Aren't your" she said. "Yes, guess l
ann little"
When he said, "Where shall we eatr
she answered, Anywhere"
"Claremont?" he suggested.
This startled her. gave her pause.
Yet there was something piquant about
the proposal.
Satan or Raphael had whispered to
her an invitation to revisit the scene
of her late humiliation with Clay. With
Duane's magic purse there would be
no danger of q snub from the walters
with his own car there would be no
risk of footing 1t home,
Then an imp Of mischief spoke for
her and said, "All right !"
Duane told the chauffeur and the

Some Advice to Tire
Users.

The Miller Rubber Company, Of
Akron. Ohio, gives out the following
rules that. IL strictly observed. should
go a long way toward solving tire
mileage troubles. The waste resulting
from misuse of passenger-car tires
alone runs into millions OF dollars an
nually, according to experienced men.
Here are the Miller suggestions for
increasing tire mileage:
Don't overload your tires. A tire
will give out sooner from overload
than from almost any other cause.
Don't under-inf1ate Under-infiatio ton
and overlooking account for fully ~
per cent of all tire trouble.
Don't neglect small cuts. These will
often extend farther than you think.
Dirt and water get in. the fabric rots
and a blowout follows Look over
your tires from time to time and re-
pair small cuts.
Don't run in ruts, car tracks or
against curbing. The side wals Of q
tire are much thinner than the tread
and will not stand this kind Of usage
