that she should be unable to finish her
performances. With the theatrical

Rebens companies and theaters losing
one certain dependence. He called
her his breadwinner.
| Miss Kembe'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-fiy
hundred for the day.
Daphne, trudgng 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 Kemhle
got well. He would pay her a hand
some bonus. He would put her out
ut the head Of a 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.

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 Eldon
went back. Finally Daphne's cue
came.
She was startled little as Batter
son nudged her forward. She went to
the door and opened it on her new
career to make her public debut with
the all-important "How d. you doY
She saw before her the drawing room
in weird light. Beyond it was G

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 eager
to remember her lines. And she re
membered 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.

''There's one other place to 60.
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
were anywhere 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. 1t
was Tom Duane. He looked very
spick and span. His smile illumined
the dull street and his hand clasped
hers with saving strength. It lifted
her from the depths like q 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
a time, Of all times.
Or 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

the test of her abilities.
All she knew was that Duane was

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.

Here are some Of the things that
were brought out during the hearing;
A fist fight. SIC
A lost marriage license.
News of an entire Missouri town
being wiped out by fire.
Possible death Of a justice Of the
peace.
Emma Grafton was the plaintiff in
the action; Charles and Ida Murphy
on the other side, according to the
testimony of Attorney Schilling. who
represented the plaintiff. there was
a fist fight when a receiver was ap-
pointed for the Murphy restaurant
some time ago.
Mrs. Murphy was brought from Sc
attic at that time to tell what she
knew about the business affairs of
her husband.
Although she said she was married.
Schilling told the court, she admitted
she lost her marriage certificate in
a fire which destroyed a Missouri
town, and which also caused the prob
able death of the justice of the peace
who married the Murphys.
AS result of the case which was
decided today, the plaintiff realized

has been given out by the war depart

The last word received from mem
