In the glow of hopeful youth, i raided loktlce with pen and paper, j But while with the help of good friend* I wade headway with such weapon* 8* I was prepared to wield. It was an un happy fart that my enthusiasm for my adopted profession stimulated a dor mant desira In my landlord'* bream to write a successful play. It had been hi* ambition while I was In the rradle. and his fatuous devoticn to It had ruined him and hi* family. Originally a man of mental and phys ical strength, « severe shock had shat tered both in a second of time, and his wife had died under the blow, while the invalid survived, nursed, sustained by his heroic little daughter. Stilly. My mind revolved around these rec ollections while I watched the Invalid choking over the nourishment that, with the thread of a tenacious deeire. kept soul to body. What a mere thread it waa even my unprofessional eyes could detect; and I could snap It with a word condemnatory to the worthless farce that lay In my room. Watching the feeble movement* of h r otrengthlrss limbs, listening to the gasping. eonßumptlve breath, and dry. hard cough. T told myself that the doc tor's diagnosis was only too certain. “He might gooff Ihis very night.” I thought. "Death can hoM no terror to his body. What can tr* want with life? Only the success of hla farce, a hidden suggestion that he has justified the tabor of Ills life-time.” “I have read you play, sir," I said, suddenly. The Invalid half raised himself from ‘ the couch, his eyes gleaming expect- ! nntiy. I saw an unnatural pink steal i over my sweetheart's face, hut she hid her frightened eyea. “And I must admit that it might be ‘ worse.” 1 added, with professional ; gravity. “Ah!” It was a cry of relief rather ■ than a word that broke from the. In valid's lips. “Which from you. Rich ard. mcaus that it’H fit for the stage?" He was sitting upright now. breath ing quickly, harsh, wispy breaths with out power or goodness. "There will naturally lie some dij et'lfy In placing It—That Ib," 1 hasten ed to say, warned by the sudden livid neSs of his lips, "although you may find a manager Willing to produce it. yet, “The Rag Doll will have to wait Its turn, and you rausi be prepared for an exercise of patience.” “Not if you take It la hand, Richard." His eyes were Inordinately bright. The fever of long-d-layed success was upon him. "You knew all these theatric?,l managers. They know you, and what f mm twwm **» ft—i' »•*#> ft pNKt* **♦ i m 4 it*.

There was a grim humor In all these iinert arrangement#, for ihe heneflt of a man who might be in another world i before the curtain went ap. in. Very mingled were my feeling* when I went to the theatra to stage-manage the fiist production of 'The Rag Doll." and I waa thankful for Ihe hundred and one matiera that engaged my *l - before the raising of the cur tain. At half past seven 1 peered In front. The house was fairly full. I stalked |to the footlights. "Dadles and gentlemen.” I said, "dome explanation of our singular condui t In caking yon here tonight le necessary, and much apology. I fear, will be n**edful before the night Is out.” Then I shortly explained the circum stances, and appealed to all that was highest and best in them to give the ] farre such a reception ss should send j the dying author (shortly expected in ( the vacant box) to the sleep that know etb no awakening with contentment within his wec.ry heart. I had barely finished before Milly i and her father appeared in the stage ! box amid a perfect hall of applause fjom the watchful audience, and I rang : the curtain up. I will not attempt to describe the play In detail. Every playgoer is now familiar with the pldt of “The Rag Doll.” Nor will I dwell upon my be wildered f-olings when It first dawned upon me 'hot the cheering In front was too spontaneous to be artificial, and , the alternating silences too nuslained ond Intense to ty- merelj- the outcome of my appeal. With the first hint at the real turn of affairs, and the hundredth glauee of apprehension at th" stage box. I hastened around to the front. Was I dreaming? The thing seemed Incredible. Could I rely upon the ve racity of my cars? As for my senses, they went the way of the audience. Now I was shrieking with inevitable lauhgter. now lost in the pathos of n human flash, wondering, marveling at the ingenuity of the hr?in that could concoct such droll situation*, such llv- ( Ing predicaments In quick rotation, j with such simple, lonely, yet such hu- . man touches. Why, Ihe play almost ' amounted to genius! I heard it as- , sorted everywhere, from stall to gal- : lery. I rushed to the stage box. The in- ; valid grasped my hand. "You were right. R'ebard!” he cried, j You foresaw all this at a single read ing of the manuscript. Wonderful! ; How can I thank you for this great moment of overflowing Joy?” I reddened, hypocritically, to my hair-roots. But.
