The hand of poverty waa upon tha
borne In which I had taken refute

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

He was sitting upright now. breath

out power or goodness.
"There will naturally lie some dij

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

audleare with the promise of a eight •
entertainment free of coal!
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. I could not mar that
mortal joy by explanation, while the
