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
IDENTIFY had hard week.
She decided that she must be play
ing too quietly; she Quickened her
tempo and threw more vivacity into
her manner. She moved briskly 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 q moment.
She used all her intellect to find the
secret Of its pleasure, but she could
not surprise it. She tried harder and
harder, acted with the intense devo-
ton of wrestling bout, but she could
not score a point.
The company looked worried and
tagged. The audience would not rise
to anything-humor, pathos, thrill.
When the play was over everyone
seemed to avoid her.
She rubbed of her makeup and re-
sumed her multi. As she walked out

AS Daphne stepped into the hallway
she found Clay .Wimburn there, wait
ing grimly. He sprang to his feet with
a 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
burns misery than with Duane's fe-
licity.

weren't too tired for that"

me only pleasant things. Every time |

She was planning to urge him to
help her and make their meetings |
'osier. But, lover-like, he took UNI
)rage and pain and despair from her
advice, and since they were again at

lark.

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 breadwinner.
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 so
tremulous that he suffered. He told
her that If she made good he would let
her play the part till Miss Kemble
got well. He would pay her 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 fear
the house. A Saturday night audience
was always easy. 1t wanted it's mon
ey's worth 1t would help to get it.
Il see," said Daphne. "Tm not

Patterson laughed scornfully. "Oh, |
you! You're going to score knock |

yes" said Daphne, $50 you've al |
ways told me-"
The curtain rose. Miss Winsor and |
the young man skipped onto their
job; the butler stalked; Eldon entered /
and made his exit. Mrs. Vining spread |
her skirts and sailed on, then EIdon
went back. Finally Daphne's cue
came.
She was startled little as Batter
son nudged her forward. She went to
the door and opened 1t on her new
career to make her public debut with

Warning as to Our
Waning Vitality

(BY LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. d.
Every man should take stock of his.
physical condition just as frequently as
he takes stock Of his financial condition,
thereby learning his weak spots and TAX
ing measures to repair them before it is
too late.
In the winter or spring is the best
time to take stock of ones condition.
If the blood is thin and watery, face pale
or pinply, generally weak, tired and
Gstless, one should take tonic. One
that will do the spring 'house-cleaning,
an old-fashioned herbal remedy that was
used by everybody nearly so years ago
Is still safe and sane because it contains
no alcohol or narcotic. This blood tonic,
extracted from wild roots and banks,
was first put out by DR.. Pierce in ready
sold by the million bottles as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It's always
effcacious in the winter or spring when
the blood is run down and you need a
wholesome tonic. This is natures tonic,
which restores the tone of the stomach,
activity of the liver and steadiness to the
nerves, strengthening the whole system.
Send 10c to DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for trial package Of tablets.
Then to keep the liver and bowels
regular and to carry away the poisons
within, it is best to take castor oil or q
vegetable pill, made up of May-apple,
aloes, ialap, and sugar-coated, to be had
at most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.

ried."
81 won't go home"
"There's one other place to go.
Good night"
He walked off and she was left
alone. She had the stage to herself.
She stood in the big void and felt
alien-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 a balance that she
could bring down.
She dreaded the forlorn journey
home to her dreary room. AS she
stepped out of the door someone
moved forward with uplifted hat. It
spick and span. His smile illumined
the dull street and his hand clasped
hers with saving strength. 1t lifted
her from the depths like a rope let
down from the sky.
Daphne would have been more con-
tent if Duane had been Clay Wimburn-
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. 1t 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 courtship. Daphne might |
have failed to gain the hearts of her
for all her toll, but here was
a 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 carr" she
could hardly snub heayen-sent mes
senger.
She said, "Thank you--you're very
Oh, all right I" And
she bounded In.
When Duane said: "You must be
hungry after all that hard work.
Aren't your she said, Eyes, guess l
ana 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
he proposal.
