Street Cars Resume Operations After
Two Months Strike.
NEW ORLEANS, September 6 (P.-
Because an agreement had been reached
between union and Public Service Cor
poration officials in New York, the city
returned to normally today after q two
months car strike.
Announcement of the agreement was
reflected favorably by the city, street
cars which have operated on regular
schedules with only meager patronage
Immediately being loaded.
Union sympathizers had boycotted
street cars consistently for jitneys, and
the general public avoided trolley trans
portation at night after series of ex-
blossoms damaged cars. The city had
experienced almost continual disturb
ances since the carmen struck July 2
for recognition of the union.
Police Supt. Theodore Ray ordered
police today to return to eight-hour
duty, bringing to an end the 12-hour

LONDON (P).-Americans are drink

English hotels, during the Summer
tourist season.
Such is the observation of the man
ager of one London hotel largely
patronized by Americans.
''They have been spending less and
drinking much less this year." he
sighed. Most of them, in fact, seem
to drink nothing but water. Those few
who do drink include some who drink
much too much"

There was an excited stir In the au-
dience, and busy whisperings. Helen's
eyes, along with many others, were
turned toward Thyra. The leading lady
sat with flushed face, her eyes glued on
the actor.

unmistakable signs Of great talent. She
played her part tonight with q feeling

who, while she had only minor part,

She was not dreaming, for she could

eye. Thyra was sitting quietly, staring
straight ahead, queer twisted smile

and already the crowd was starting to
All the auditorium, although the per-

Then Thyra arrived, with Mr.. Col.
Inns, the great actor, accompanying her.
Radiantly she introduced the members
Of the cast to him., AS Helen shook
hands she gazed into the kindly blue
eyes of o white-haired man about 90
years of age with a strong though sensi-
tive face. He was the soul OF courtesy,
but Helen turned away from MIN with q
lump In her throat. Here was this
of" before him in the part that should
have been Helen's.
But Helen, as she made up Tor her
minor part, bravely pushed such
thoughts aside and devoted her mind
to the task of giving the best perform
ance of which she was capable.
| The play was q great success. The
auditorium was filed to capacity, and
in one of the front rows sat Mr.. Col
| Inns with Thyra'S father and the prin-
cipal of the high school. The actor
watched the work of the amateur per-
formers with absorbed interest, and
Joined the rest of those present IN
hearty applause at the end OF each act.
Thyra particularly, as leading lady, re.
ceived much of the appreciation, and
had to respond to three curtain calls
at the end of the second act.
Helen played her part well. In che
| final act she had an emotional scene
which it was difficult not to everyday.
She had spent a great deal Of time on
each line OF this scene, and when 1t was
over and she left the stage while Thyra
carried the play to swift conclusion,
she was conscious that she had Gone
| her best.
When the final curtain had been
rung down, the famous actor was intro
duced. and took the platform while the
audience gave him tremendous ova-
| ton. Thyra missed his opening words
because she was removing her makeup.
but with the rest of the cast she took
reserved seats q few minutes later and

on. amateur and school dramatics.
When he had finished, the applause
was defeaning, but the actor remained
on the platform, and held UP his hand.

resumed, and would not think of
leaving without saying 1t. This eve
ming I have been praising amateur ac-
tors and directors. and pointing out

SO her father helped her start figur.
ing, explaining the method to her %
follows:
Eat the end of six months from now
you will have per cent interest on
s2S. For q year that would amount to
how much?"
"For year Il would be 50 cents, and
for half q year it would be half Of
that of 34Is cents"
But the bank would give you credit
for only "a cents. Then you would have
in the bank 1884. Let us suppose that
you Immediately deposited 923 for the
year, or that you have been depositing
It in small amounts, and at the time the

amount there. That means that for the

1NsTALLMENT II.

During the weeks following the cleo
ton, Helen did her best to conceal her
very real disappointment In the result
OF the voting. Every day she went to
the drug store for her work there, and
the needed money that she earned
helped her to forget the sacrifices that
the Job made necessary.
AS Spring approached, extensive
plans were made by the members OF
the dramatic club for an important
event In April. The club was to pre-
sent O play to the public, and following
the performance William Hare Collins
was to make an address. The bringing
of the famous actor to the city under
the auspices OF the club was great
event, and ThyrA Franklin took care
that she got all the credit for doing 1t.
Tryouts for parts in the new play
were held, and Helen was a leading
candidate for the feminine lead. Men,
bers Of the boys dramatic club were
joining with the girls In this effort,
and the show was to be the most elab.
crate ever staged In the high school.
Helen'S heart sank when Thyra also
tried out for the lead. Thyra had
shown little acting ability In the past,
but this year she was literally running
the entire club. She was a good execu-
tive, and she was not too scrupulous
about the means she used to attain her
ends. Therefore. although Helen was
unquestionalby the best actress in the
high school, she had some reason for
her fears Of Thyra's rivalry.
Perhaps Helen didn't do so well as
she might have in the tryouts. The
girls were given the play to read one
afternoon, so that they might have a
chance to become somewhat familiar
with Il before the trials that evening,
But business was so rushing in the drug
store that Helen had barely time to
glance at the lines, and when she came
to read the difficult part that night, she
faltered in several places. Even then,
1t was q close decision between her ana
