earned rest. Someone was wait
ing in his little sitting-room to see
Mr.. Alastair Wigmore.
1t was Miss Connie Collette.
Wigmore pursed his lips with
whistle, pushed his hat to the back
of his head, thrust his hands deep
into his pockets and stood in the
doorway. He knew when he was
in for a fight, and he hardened
himself to it. Itineraries in a
scratch world had made of Mr..
Alastair Wigmore being of iron
and brass on occasion.
Occasion was here.
Hello, Conniew he remarked
from the doorway. "Come leetle
late in the day"
81 came as soon as l could"
said the woman, rising from her
chair and trying to brazen out her
obvious nervousness, "And I'll
be ready to take up the work right
away. Got the repertoire by heart,
you know. l met Lyonel in the
town-heard you'd got a-a-a
substitute all right-so the incon-
venience wasn't"
81 got" said Mr.. Wigmore, COM
ing forward into the room and
slapping his hat down on the
table, "a new lead"
She was red and white by turns
through her powder and trembling
all over.
"A - new - lead" she stam-
mered.
"Ah" he said laconically. 81

to say about the inconvenience
you might a put me to. There
wasn't any. I'm not the man to

picked up new girl-a swanker.
Pretty as paint, too" He looked
at Connie Collette's cheeks.
""Prettier," he added, by way of a
joke to tighten the air. Boys in
the town all mad, house p cked
from floor to ceiling, prices up.
She's signing on after the per-
formance tonight. Like a cup O.
tea"
She looked at him silently for a
whole minute. He lighted a Gig
arctic. Then she broke out at
him.
II don't want your-cups O.
tea! | want my part. MY job.
I've played lead here twenty
years. You've had the best O. me.
This is all I've got. You must
give me something. l tell you l

1t was only the landlady with a
call for rehearsal from Mr.. Wig
more.
They had, it appeared, to be
"On the Trail of Blood" at twelve
sharp.
From twelve till three Mr.. Ala
stair Wigmore's company were vo-
ciferous "0n the Trail of Blood"
More rehearsing at five o'clock
followed a scratch meal. The
evening show was a great success,
the "house" packed to its limit,
and a crowd jostling at the open
door to see what they might be
lucky enough to see.
you'll do, DEAR" said one of
the women, as they changed hur-
riedly together. you'll be on the
London boards if you stick to it
for a bit-if this doesn't sicken
you first"
After four days Mr.. Alastair
Wigmore held out to her the prop
osition of an advantageous con-
tract.
"A year at present rates." he
offered, eyeing her uncertainty.
She did not spring at it, having a
good deal of business training be-
hind her enthusiasms. "We'll go
through this week." he said, land
I'll see how you tackle the other
parts, and then we'll talk about it.
Settle everything up quick. That's
the kind of man l am. Well draw
up the contract at the end of the
week, eh?"
She evaded definite promises,
but she intended, all the same, to
make an advantageous contract
with Mr.. Alastair Wigmore. "You
sweet soul!' she said to the SNUG
Teddy-bear, "your vagaries are
going to stand down, are they, at
last, and I'm to have consistent
luck?"
They drew on to the last piece
of the repertoire, "The Horror
Haunted Housemaid."
Connie was good in this" Wig
more informed Meg, "but you'll
equal her-presently."
The presently" was added with
an eye to moderating her possible
suggestions regarding the desired
contract. She mustn't think too
much of herself, and make herself
expensive. He was turning over
the terms of the contract in his
mind as he walked to his lodging
after a strenuous rehearsal of the
last piece on Saturday afternoon.
The cast had dispersed to their
various roof-trees to take a we'll

Great! All right! :.

always do know it, l do =.
Stan out O. the way or they'll
drop those flies on you &.
You're goin' to fill my houses, my
dear, that's what you're goin' to
do"
And though they were only as
Wigmore said, Susceptible rustic
FOOLS" it was the very sweetest
thing her world had ever given to
her. She would not have ex-
changed it for the half-hearted ap-
plause of all the first-nighters in
London.
The night was full of smiling
dreams; the little mascot lay on
her breast. She woke late, very
happy, and asked for her break
fast. 1t came up to her stopped,
but that did not matter, for on her
plate lay a pile Of notes from the
more enterprising youth of the
town, and from one bold spirit
great bunch Of fragrant Autumn
violets. He wrote that he was a
market gardener and might he
have the pleasure of offering her a
few flowers daily during the week
she was to remain among them to
tighten their darkness? His letter
was poem of sorts.
Laying the violets on her breast,
so that she could inhale their frag-
rance, she opened the rest of the
notes-a few impertinent, most
humbly admiring, some adoring.
She lay in bed and read and re-
read them, her flushed face laugh
ing out of her tumble of black
hair, and by and by she kissed
them one by one, out of a senti-
ment of sheer pleasure, the kisses
being so impartial that not one of
the youths of the town could have
felt personally gratified had he
been able to observe her. "Oh,
.peoplew she murmured ecstatical-
ly. "How dear people are. What
darling, adventurous world,
after allp'
1t was the reproachful clock of
the morning sun, stealing round to
her south-eastward looking win
dow, that brought her back to the
concrete of cold tea and hard egg.
While she was breakfasting a
knock came at the door. "Come
in" she cried.
The Washington times., 1922-08-06

Wigmore, "be quiet" For a mo-
ment, from force of habit, she
obeyed. "You gave me the chuck.
l can't help your husband and
your family affairs. Must l give
you something? There's no must

ask me another. Or, better still,
don't ask me nothing, but remove
yourself. You'd better go back to
London and try for a job at an
agent's-or ask at the suburban
halls. I'd help you if l could, but
