"Explanations will keep, Mr. Challoner.
What of the man himself? Where Is he?
That's the important thing now.”
"He was in his room until early this

nor could any trifles move him now.
The town was up by this time and.
though they chose the least frequented
, streets, they had to suffer from some en
counters. It was a good half hour before
. they found themselves in the forest and
in sight of the hangar. One look that
way. and Sweetwater turned to see what
the effect was upon Mr. Challoner. •
, A murmur of dismay greeted him. j
, Ihe oval of that great lid stood up against
, the forest background. '
' "He has escaped.” cried Mr. Challoner. I
But Sweetwater, laying a finger on his I
, lip* advanced and laid his far against i
, the door. Then he cast a quick look aloft. I
Nothing was to be seen there. The dark
ness of the storm in the heavens, but
nothing more. Yes! now. a flash of vivid
and destructive lightning!
The two men drew back and their
( glances crossed.
, "bet us return to the highroad." whis
pered Sweetwater; "we can see nothing
here."
Mr. Challoner, trembling very much,
W'heeled slowly about.
Wait,” enjoined Sweetwater. "First
let me take a look inside.”
Running to the nearest tree, he quickly
climbed it, worked himself along a pro
, truding branch and looked, down into the
open hangar. It was now so dark that
, details escaped him, but one thing was
, certain. The airship w r as not there.
Descending, he drew Mr. Challoner has
tily along “He's gone," said he. "Let
us reach the high ground as quickly as
’ we can. I’m glad that Mr. Oswald Broth-
• erson is not with us—or Miss Doris.”
But this expression of satisfaction died
1 on his lips. At the point where the forest
1 road debauches into the highway, he had
already caught a glimpse of their two
• figures. They were waiting for news,
and the brother spoke up the instant he
saw Sweetwater:
! "Where is he? You've not found him
or you wouldn’t be coming alone. He
can not have gone up. He can not man
age it without an assistant. We must
seek him somewhere else —in the forest or
> in our house at home. Ah!" The light
ning had forked again.
’ “He's not in the forest and he's not
in your home," returned Sweetwater.
'He’s aloft; the airship is-not in the shed.
’ And he can go up alone now.” Then more
slowly: “But he can not come down.”
’ They strained their eyes in a madden
ing search of the heavens. But the dark
ness had so increased that they could be
sure of nothing.
Doris sank upon her knees.
Suddenly the lightning flashed again,
■ this time so vividly and so near that the
• whole heaven burst into fiery' illumina
tion above them and the thunder, crash-
! ing almost simultaneously, seemed for a
moment to rock the world and bow the
heavens toward them. Then a silence;
! then Sweetwater’s whisper in Mr. Chal
loner’s ear:
“Take them away! I saw him; he was
falling like a shot.”
Mr. Challoner threw out his arms, then
t steadied himself. Oswald was reeling;
’ Oswald had seen, too. But Doris w’as

, she was standing and Oswald was weep
’ ing on her bosom.

you may make an impression. He will

"P. S. —It is not important, but I for

Daysey Mayme gasped. Worth sev
eral million! And with the hopeful
ness that makes youth so enticing, she
began to dream.
But she didn't dream long. She took
action.
The bell rang promptly at 8. and Day
sey Mayme, with a big gingham apron
covering her evening dress, answered it.
"Ah,” she said to the gentleman
standing outside. "Mr. Slimkins? Walk
in.”
“Is this Miss —he began when
the parlor was reached, handing her a
letter of introduction.
But he got no farther. For Daysey
Mayme with a wild glare in her eye
gave a leap into the air. with both
hands clapping.
The man looked astonished, and the
look of astonishment on his face chang
ed to fright, as Daysey Mayme. with
her eyes still fixed on nothing that he
could see. made a frantic plunge to the
floor.
Still clapping her hands, she dived
under the lounge, and regained her feet
on the other side with a bound that
carried her over the parlor table.
Up in the air again, and down again,
with her hands wildly clapping, and
oblivious to everything in the world,
she chased around and around the
room, knocking over table and chairs,
always with he eyes fixed and glaring,
and giving alteinate cries of despair
and shouts of triumph.
One big jump—she landed on top of
tjie piano, and her hands came together
far above her head, with a resounding
clap.
“I got it! 1 got it!” she screamed in
triumphant joy.
Then she climbed down and held out
her hand to her guest.
“You must pardon my behavior,” she
said, “but It was a moth, and I am such
a neat housekeeper I can't let one get
away.”
“I wonder." she said a little later,
after a very frightened young man had
taken his departure, and she was pick

MISS ALICE BRADY. STAR OF “LITTLE WOMEN.”
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
jjrpHE play's just sweet.” said the
mistress of the wardrobe at
playhouse, as she took my
cloak. And Alice Brady, she's just too
sweet, too.”
Taken as a dramatic criticism, the
statement may lack a variety of ad
jectives. but I have often noticed that
the woman who keeps tabs on the hats
and coats of the audience forms a pret
ty accurate opinion of the merits of
plays and players.
"Little Women" is sweet, and so Is
Alice Brady. Even the two fat men
with bald heads who sat in front of me
audibly remarked that they thought it
was going to be a musical comedy, but
somehow it “got you.” and after little
Beth died they blew their noses with a
flourish, showing that all sentiment
was not dead beneath the adipose de
posit which surrounded their Broadway
hearts.
Alice Brady plays Meg. the eldest of
the dear, delightful March girls, and
she plays It so well that nobody is go
ing to be able to remember whether
Meg's last name was Brady, or Alice’s
was March.
Miss Alice is the daughter of Man
ager Brady, as every one knows. But
I think that Miss Alice is showing the
world that she could have succeeded
even if she had had no connection with
the theatrical world, for nobody in any
of the companies in which she has been
playing works harder than “the man
ager’s daughter,” nor has risen more
legitimately on her own merits.
Behind the stage Miss Brady, who is
still in her teens, is a pretty, win
some young girl, with a very animated
face, big, brown eyes and an interest
ing and interested expression.
The Usual Question.
It was ms> duty to haul out that
weather-beaten question. “What do you
do to preserve your health and beau
ty?" and I took it out, dusted it off.

“Ugh!” said Miss Alice, as she

opened her eyes very wide and looked
scared. "What do you want me to say?
I don’t know anything about health
and beauty. I’ve never done anything
about either in my life. Why, I do all
the things that one oughtn't do. I eat
what I want, and as much as I want,
and when 1 want, and I just love ice
cream sodas."
"Enough, enough: this will never do."
I interposed in stern tones. "Remem
ber. especially In this play, you are a
sort of example for hundreds of thou
sands of young girls, who will do as
you do, and if Meg loves ice cream so
das, what will happen to the complex
ions of the rest even if hers doesn’t
suffer?”
This was a truly sobering thought,
and Miss Brady sat down to reflect. I
had time to notice that her dimples are
her own. and that she pouts and beams
unconsciously, and is quite unspoiled
by her success and advancement on the
stage.
She seemed much pleased when I told
her that I had noticed lion hard she
worked in the heat of summer, when

she was singing in the revivals of the
Gilbert A- Sullivan operas.
"I love to do those, especially Pa
tience,” said Miss Brady, cheering up
as the health and beauty subject faded
Into the distance. "I’m glad you think
I worked hard: 1 wonder if father will
believe that," she reflected.
“I wanted to be in this play because
I want to show that I can act a little,
too.” she continued. “Os course, I do
not mean to give up my singing, for
there is so much variety in the singing
parts. I’m afraid work would get rather
monotonous if I stuck to dramatic work
alone. But, oh dear, you want me yt
say something about health and beau
ty, don't you? Well. I don’t know’ any
thing about it, really. But one thing is
certain; you can't tell what kind of a
girl is going to look beautiful on the
stage. Tve noticed that the really beau
tiful girls, with classic features and
all that, look quite insignificant when
they’re made up in front of the foot
lights. Personally, I think beauty’ is a
matter of expression and coloring,
quite as much as perfect outline. I
love exquisite coloring of hair and com
plexion and eyes.
"To be beautiful, it must be natural,
of course, for you never get the tight
combinations if you change the color
that Nature gave. I like faces that arc
firlj of expression, and I am afraid that
I don't consider lite china-doll beauty
very fascinating.
"And, speaking of dolls, have you no
ticed that all the new dolls have real
faces like children? Not like the old
fashioned dolls, who are always impos
sibly beautiful.
Children Right.
"It seems that children nowaday.-
prefer dolls that have expression, and I
think that the children are right. Prob
ably’ it means that we n:< getting away
from the ideal of doll-like beauty w hich
lacks expression and intelligence. Cer
tainly It is significant when little chil
dren turn away from the beautiful
French dolls and take the funny, life
like doll babies, whose faces are so full
of expression that it seems as if they
could almost talk.”
Miss Brady can't have put away her
dolls so very long ago, though she is
still young enough to be highly in
censed if one reminded her of the fact,
and her ideal has coincidentally changed
from the impossible silly doll face to
the beauty of intelligence which shows
in expression and good health which is
the foundation of all pretty coloring in
face or hair.
A TENDER TOPIC.
On the village green a traveling
phrenologist had taken up his stand,
and offered to "feel the bumps” of the
natives at a very small charge each.
One of the first applicants was the
local blacksmith, a burly fellow, and
as he seated himself in the chair some
what shyly whispered in the “profes
sor’s” ear:
"He's awfully fond of veal!"
The "professor nodded gracefully . and
proceeded to ascribe to his client all
the virtues lie could think of, and then
as a climax he said in a loud voice:
"Now. to come to the question of
I likes and dislikes. If there is one thing
on earth that my subject is fond of it
is veal!"
He stopped suddenly, for the black
smith had sprung from his chair and
struck him lustily on the law.
‘‘An’ if I did steal a calf what's it
got to do wi’ you?" he roared furiously.
