“Father, yoa accuse yourself wrongfully.
It to true that you have had a regular engage

“No, child. Tour mother woe never aekse

grave, it to a consolation to me that I never
permitted her to adopt such a life. I bed hope
of Willie’s talents, but they ran in a different
channel. No matter. The poor little follow

did try it, but did not cueoeed; and I have
often thought that her failure hastened her
death." v. -

“You think! ooald not succeed ?'
“I am sure you could not You are too (BA

“I could at least learn something in the
ballet”
“No, Marie, I am an actor, and no child at
mine shall ever snmmSnss so low ta the pro
fem on, even to save me from starvation. Bo
rides, you could not even get that position.”
* “And why not?”
*<The manager would look at your tags and
refuse to listen to yoa or to entertain your ap
plication for a single instant, if you mans
one.”
“Let me take the play yoa have written to
the manager.”
“That can’t be done, Marie. It is only half
finished, and even if it were completed, I
doabt if the manager would look at ft, because
it comes from e poor man, and one unknown
to fosse.”
The old actor's daughter rat silent and
thoughtful for a time. Bhe was revolving In
her mind scenes and incidents of which her
father was entirely ignorant. Let as deserib*
them.”
It was a period three months previous to the
foregoing conversation. The mother had just
been laid in the ©old grave, and the tether
wss, as now, unable to leave hte races Th*
wolf was hovering round their door, and Ma
rie, timid in action, bat brave In heart, hod
resolved to assist the parent she loved so dear

ballet of on* of the theatre*. They were to
apply at the stage door that morning; but she
had been unable to leave her father's ride at
that time. She feared she would be too late;
still she could bat try.
In reaching th* stage doer she wo* com
pelled to pssmthe main entroeee es the thea
tre. The aadtence was assembling. Marie
paused and gazed at the fashionably dressed
ladies, wondering where people eoaliget so
much money, thus enabling them te appear so
grand. She ooald not help envying them a
portion of their wealth. Bat the thought of
ortho* st tame t**" enmeetod itself with these
thought*."
Peering on, she reeebed the stags door.
Hm heart almost foiled her, bet their home
again rose op before and she rrater ed to

“Yea, sir, if yoa pleaea

“O. sir, if I should be engaged, then I
would oome daring the day.”
“Good. Her* comas the stage manager; you
eon apply to hiss.”
That functionary happened to be passing
and hearing the words, understood their im
port at once. He turned a searching look up
on the poor girl, and was about to pass on.
Bat be caught sight of her face in tbe gas
light, and arid:
“Not bod looking, if she is in rags. Bo yon
want an engagement, eh?”
“Yea, sir, if yoa ptoses,” replied Mery.
“To play Lady Macbeth, I suppose'”
“No, sir—for the ballet"
“O! Ever been on the stage before?”
