down off the elephants head and

Bunny. Bobby and I ran up to
him. And when we got close to

Il hundred short cuts; for beneath
the most inspired acting is
technic which has to be learned

he could give her so excellent an

trained actors and critics would

'groundlings. she would sweep
them off their feet Better than
this, clergymen would advertise

would descend upon him in

She was going to prove so
valuable that sometimes he actual
~ considered the advisability of
giving her a square deal. To his
artistic and dramatic instinct it
seemed almost a tragedy that
she should be so cheated of her
just deserts, and of life itself, as
he intended to cheat her.
Bitter Thoughts.
Such thoughts sometimes kept
him awake at night. And once.
following out logically the results
to her of his plans and plots con-
corning her, he actually shed
tears.
One day he sent for her. She
