The Duke had quit his job, moved
by the desire to travel on and see
the world, he said. He said no word
to any man about the motive behind
that desire, very naturally, for he
was not the kind of man who
opened the door of his heart. But
to himself he confessed the hunger
for an unknown face, for the lure
of an onward beckoning hand which
he was no longer able to ignore.

parts to parts that gave me some little
opportunity to show what was in me.
There was general impression with

ways feels that unless the natural gift
for comedy is unusually marked.
As in all stock companies, partic-
ularly in small town, we soon got
to feel that we had an almost personal
relation with our audiences. This was
largely because we had so small public
to draw from. A large part of the
seats were sold by subscription for the
entire season. Before long, l grew ac-
customed to looking for certain faces in
certain seats. We were always able ia
spot strangers.
A strange man, particularly If he
had an orchestra seat, always caused
the greatest excitement in the com
pany. We were always convinced that
some great New York manager had
taken the trouble to cross the river tC

tunity was knocking at our door. What
