shouted.
Just then came the crash of the closing
chorus and in a fury Grub realized that
he was too late. But there was still time.
Cecile's dressing room was on the stage
level. on the side Of the stage away from
the street exit II he could hide some
where in the scenery until she left for
home.
This time the manager did not see the
shadow that slipped around to the wings
and on to the stage The show was over
and the rest of the cast were swarming
toward their dressing rooms. The audi
ence had started home.
The curtain however. was still up.
midnight rehearsal of new show was
about to start in a few moments and the
orchestra leader was sorting over some
new music for the overture accomPant
ment. A few of the audience still fingered
near the exits and Tin the foyer. The
ushers were turning up the seats and pick
ing up scattered programmes
Grubb knew from waiting for Cecile be-
fore just how long It took her to dress
FIVE minutes-and he had barely secreted
himself in the scenery when he recognised
her step on the stage, and her voice hum
ming a Tilt from the show. She would
have to pass him to get to the street door.
The same instant he jumped out from
behind his hiding place of painted canvas.
STOP" he cried in voice so terrible
that the belated spectators near the door
turned about in astonishment After one
frightened look the musicians dropped
their instruments and called for help.
Cecie stood perfectly still.
"I'll show you" screamed the frantic
actor as he leveled the revolver at the
frightened girls breast loud shot rang
through the theatre. Cecile screamed and
fell but he fired another and another into
her limp body.
The manager and several other actors
rushed on the stage.
Grubb looked for an instant at the pros
trate girl and then stood paralyzed.
"Oh, God" he cried. What have
tone!"
Before anyone could reach him he raised
the revolver to his own head and emptied
It into his brain, falling dead across the
body Of his victim.

When she realized what had happened
she asked Grub if he was in his right
mind but the actor looked so crushed at
her words that she Immediately regretted
them and started off on different tack
But the actor assigned another reason
for her consideration, and before long it
was necessary for Cecile to tell him that
she never had cared for him and that his
attentions only annoyed her.
This was more thar Grub was ready for
and he bust into tears. On his way out
of the theatre the other actors saw his
tears, guessed at their cause, and had
good laugh at his expense. Grubb wan.

she never realized that the obvious
thing was happening = Grubb was
falling head over heels in love.
Grubb himself did not realize It at
first But as time went on and the
pretty actress became increasingly
cordial he forgot mis- comic appear
ance and dared to hope things he
would not have dreamed Of a few
weeks before. At his frequent meet
ings with Cecile he began to talk
less of Shakespeare and more and
more of themselves, until one day he
lost all OF his restraint and asked her
TO marry him.
Ceciie could not believe her senses.
In all OF the time she had befriended
him she had regarded Grubb as she
would lonesome and affectionate
old dog. The pathos OF his unattain-
atle ambition had touched her so
that she had misunderstood all of
J those yearning looks and hesitant
speeches. Indeed, the most inspiring
thing about their friendship had been
that Grubb never became foolish like
the other men she had known.
