HAT is my particular forte?
Low comedy, sir, though if
any one had told me that I'd
make a hit In that line when I first
went upon the stage, I'd have felt
much Insulted,
It d'wsn't make much difference now
what my aspirations were years ago
Mil, the shades of Hamlet haunted
uy dreams then, and I was possessed
o shine as Borneo. Hnmpbl The man
ger cast me for second grave-digger
n the first and Gregory in the second.
low well I carried the parts out I can't
cell; I know I was never invited to do
the melancholy Dane, neither was
ever asked to clasp a fair Juliet In the
dlra-llghted chamber of the Capuleta,
I became reconciled to disappoint
ment after awhile, and, after struggling
through the leaser characters, I finally
was given the position of leading low
comedian In the stock company. Per
haps you'd take me for anything but a
low comedian. How fairly well I do
the business, the bills tell that.
In the year 1800 I was playing In
a stock company In New Orleans, and
the city was wild with rumors of the
dawning conflict As the company
was composed of a number of Northern
people, many vacancies were created
by the deserters who hastened home-
Ward. The first to leave was our lead
ing man, and the manager was anxious
to secure a competent successor, who
soon presented himself In the shape of
fine Texan, of much reputation
among the ranks of amateurs. He was
a tall, well-built chap of 21 or 22, pos
sessing one of those peculiar voices,
such as Hal Montague's, not ranty.
strong, but plain, distinct, and pleas
ant; in ail, well qualified for the ren
dering of juvenile leading parts.
I took to the yonngster from the
start, for I plainly saw that he was one
of those talented chaps who. If they
fall Into judicious hands, can be made
much of -as well as spoiled. If they
come in contact with old stagers.
For some time back I had noticed
that the heavy man had been smitten
with the charms of our leading lady. I
also saw that Bhe did not favor him In
the slightest. When ber part made It
necessary for her to come in contact
with him I saw a shrinking as of more
than feigned disgust, and off the stage
he treated him pretty much the same
as on with scorn and loathing.
Well, a short time after the new lead
ing man came there sprang up between
him and the heavy man an enmity. I
was standing in the wings one night,
waiting for my cue, while we were
playing one of those good, old-fashioned
melodramas; lover had a secret foe
who Is endeavoring to win the good
graces, fortune ana nana of the fair
one, and all that sort, by underhanded
ways. Discovery of the false friend
and secret foe follows, and the usual
duel takes place. Of course the trai
torous foe falls, and the curtain drops
while the victor clasps the fair one to
his breast
I was waiting my cue, as I said. The
handsome young leading man was
bending over the leading lady, bis hand
searching for hers, her face against his.
was watching all this, and I saw it
was more than stage love. It was the
genuine, pure article. It was my busi
ness to rush in just then, and thus
cauKe a great deal of commotion. I
heard a muttered: "Curse him!" I
turned quickly; it came from the lips
of the heavy man, who was standing
at my elbow. Such a look of flendlsb
ness upon a human face I never before
saw, and as his was ugly by nature
without the added features of the
makeup, he looked indeed like a devil.
The play passed off smoothly, as us
ual; the hero and traitor met the duel
took place, and the regular denouement
followed amid the applause of an ap
preciative and satisfied audience.
I kept my eyes open after that, for I
knew there was something In the wind
destined, if possible, to work wrong
against the young leading man, who
by this time bad become a prime favor
ite among the members of the stock
company the heavy man excepted.
About a week after I had witnessed
the villain's rage, happening to pass by
his dressing-room door, I heard a muf
fled, clinking sound, as of some metal
lic substance coming in contact with
the like. I drew nearer, placed my eye
to the keyhole, and peeped through.
The man was seated within range of
my vision, upon a trunk, a pistol be
tween his knees, and he was ramming
bullet into the barrel.
It was all as plain as day. The fiend
was preparing to murder the handsome
young leading man. He would meet
his wonld-be victim in the duel scene,
kill him, and escape the penalty of the
law by advancing the plea that be
never dreamed that the pistol was
loaded. I was thunderstruck, I knew
the fellow was a morose person, a man
of strong dislikes and few likes, but I
did not think him capable of such a
dastardly deed as he contemplated.
Thank hcavenl I had witnessed the lit
tle scene behind closed doors.
Hearing his call from the callboy, I
withdrew behind some packing trunks
and soon beard him - treading the
boards above, J knew that be would
remain on some time, so I went lnte
bla dressing-room and quickly with
drew the bullet from the pistol Then
I went to my post above and found the
play progressing smoothly as usual.
I never saw the leading man do as
well; as fur the toad!.,; UJy, b was
accepting his love with word, glance,
and sweet gestures which told plainly
that she was in earnest He waa niak
Ing real love to her; yea, sir, such love
as you do sometimes see on the boards.
We old stager can tell the difference
between downright love and the make-
believe article every time.
When the rivals met la the duel
scene, I can assure you I was more
than an anxious spectator. He, the
hero, met the muzzle of the rival with
the same cool demeanor as hitherto.
wondered would he appear as cool, as
brave, had he known of the scene be
hind the doors.
The face of the villain waa a perfect
picture of hellish ferocity, and I never
before knew how much of a man's evil
nature could be depicted upon hia fee
tures. The word was given to fire.
The sharp crack of the pistols followed
and the smoke passed up Into the files.
Aht The villain had forgotten bis full!
ne started quickly forward and gaaed
upon his rival's smiling face. Then
painful silence followed, as there al
ways does when a break mars the
play. The leading man whispered In
an undertone;
"Fall, man! Why don't you falir
But the villain had mo ear for hear
ing; he had expected to see the blood
stained corpse of his bated rival
stretched before him and now he
Btood there still alive and breathing.
With a load oath which could be
heard in every part of the house, the
defeated villain sprang by bis rival.
dashed through the little crowd of
stage people who had gathered In the
wings, and plunged through an open
window, falling with a sickening sound
upon the pavement below.
Of course this was all a deep mys
tery to every one but myself. The cur
tain dropped, and surrounded by my
companions I told the whole story.
I could see the leading lady clasp the
young fellow's arm tightly when I told
bow I had balked the villain now
broken, senseless mass of flesh and
bones. I staid with the company long
enough to see the young people hap
pily wedded. This ring, a pure dia
mond of the first water, was presented
to me by the bridegroom for my taking,
for the once and only time in all my
life, the leading part In a tragedy. Ex

A few evenings ago a pretty girl got
on an Indiana avenue car at 24th

back and forth without regard to the
comfort of the pasengers near him. The
man who sat next to the sentimental
Irishman got up and offered bis seat to

said: "No, thank you; I'm only going

The Intoxicated Individual stopped as

and his face took on a look of disap
