1 texass theatrical manager wbe
I wai still very young. I waa not at
atl systematic and tu coaaeqaeatty
: always la trouble. 1 Baa 11 received a
lesson ttuit sasd me change my habit.
On day I left tb theater ana a ad
entered cab Just about to atart away
wba a girl's face appeared at tb
window.
"Beg pardVa for stopping, yoa." sb
mM. "Ar J on Mr. Clossrr, tba ma a
gerT"
"I am."
"Would j on be o kind aa to read a
play for vaeV -
I had more plays tbaa 1 coo Id put
a tb board for two years, bat tb
girl bad socb a winning amile that I
consented. I took a roll of manuscript
from br; told ber to rail at my office
la a week aod I would give br aa
anawer.
la a week ab called.
"Have yoo read my play?" abe asked.
with that same winning tnll 1 bad
be for.
'No; I hare NeQ very buay. Tin
Coo Id yoa tire mo Dot her
wkr ...
"Certainly. I'm ls"no great hnrry.'
"WelL com on tbla day week."
I went to my rooms and ransacked
very corner for that manuscript It
waa do where to be fouud. I must
hav left it la the cab. But I bad
picked tba cab op on the street and
couldn't possibly know It from otber
cab. I should bare admitted tbe Ion
and taken tba consequence. But 1
waa young and prided myself on my
ability to get oat of aacb scrapes. I
would first win tba girl's good will,
thea confess and compromise tbe mat
tar aa beat I could.
When aba called again I put ber off
by offering ber two excellent aeata for
tba evening's performance. Sbe saUl
- tbey would be of no use to ber since
aba bad no eacort Sbe atnlled at me
ao aweetly wbea abe aald this that I
told ber I would eacort. ber myself .
I "not only did so. but said several nk-e
thing to ber about tbe opening of
ber play, a few passages of which I
" professed to hart read. I regretted
doing ao. however, because sbe asked
. ana a lot of questions about It which I
couldn't answer. I g"t all mixed up
ver It and was obliged to tell ber
that 1 thought I had got bold of tbe
wrong manuscript When I left ber I
told ber that three days should, not
lapse before I had read tbe play, and
I would be aura that It was ber play
and not some otber author's play.
I put the poor, girl off. for three
Months. 8 he was very nice to me
about It all thistlme. but tbe further
I proceeded with my deception tbe J
farther I annk la tba mire. The worst
part ef tba matter -waa that when a
week paaaed without my seeing ber 1
found myself Ilka a toper without bis
glaaa of grog.
One day the girl came Into my offlca
and told me that sbe bad given tba
acenario of ber play (Its skeleton) to a
rival ma naffer, and be bad assured ber
that If the dialogue was filled in effec
tively be would put it oa tbe boards at
once. When I tried to put ber off
some more a beautiful bright tear
stood In ber eye.
When a maa is tilting between In
difference and lore for a woman be
may be easily unbalanced on tbe aide
ef lore by one of those little globule.
At any rate, I lost my balance. I con
fessed to bare lost ber , manuscript
but told her not to mind a little thing
like that alnce I loved ber and bad
quite enough for both of aa. If she
would marry me It would be all right
I glased away the tear, and ber smile
waa like tbe sun peeping from tbe
ether aide of an April cloud.
From that moment 1 beard no more
ef tbe missing manuscript After a
few months' engagement we were mar
ried and after a brief wedding trip
aettled down to the humdrum of life.
One evening when I went borne my
wife told me that abe bad received
-first night" tickets to a new play
that waa to be put on tbe boards and
asked me to go with ber to see the
performance. I tried to beg off, saying
that I was needed at my own theater,
but abe Insisted, and I yielded.
Our aeata were a proscenium box on
a level with tbe stage. My wife pulled
a curtain before ber ao that she could
not be seen except from the stage.
Tbe play opened ao well that I ex
claimed. "By Jove, why didn't I get
bold of this?" As tbe performance pro
ceeded It was evident that a bit was
being made. I ground my teeth In
veiatlon at having missed getting on
what promised to be a money maker.
At tbe climax In tbe third act tbe
audience came down in a thunder of
applause. Calla were made for the
author, but tbe author did not appear.
The manager came before the curtain
aad announced that ha would appear
at tbe end of the play. Tbla aatlsfled
them, and the performance went on.
When the curtain went down on tbe
last act not one of tbe audience rose
to go. The manager came to our box
tad. offering hia hand to my wife, as
sisted her on to the state and nlaced
her before the footlights, where aha
stood bowing till the applause sub-
faded, wben .be .a. . m,.,,

So Mr. EldridtfO and Miss bw
were Invited to dinner, with rarda la
the evening. Mr. EldrUge of course
played with Mr. Tandeveer. Mr. Van
deveer pUytnjr with Mum Kbawr-It le
singular what a Uttle thing will start

exbiiaratlon la Mia Shaw. Further
more, seeing that Mr. Vandeveer waa

lf tb hotew to aav a number of
nice things to Mr. Kldiidge.
Whoa tbe evening was over aad tbe
roests had departed lr.ied Mrs.
Vandeveer went to bed without a
word. Urt, Vajdeveer suspected that
in Introducing Miss Shaw Into 'ber

' her bosom. Mr Vandeveer. for tbe
first time In bis married life, felt a
apark of Jealousy of Mr. Eldrldjre. who
was an extremely good looking aod
attractive man..
Tbe next ' week when Mr.. Vande
veer ck me home one afternoon from
business his wife told blm that' Ml
Shaw bad Invited tbe pU to dinner
and for cards In tb evening Mr.
Vandeveer. fearing that If be declined
to accept bis wife would', think be
wished to keep her from again meet
ing Mr. Eldrtdge. coosentedTHIs wife
waa much surprised and act down bis
willingness to a dealr to again meet
Miss Shaw.
At tbla meeting tbe cards ran more
venly. but Mis Sbaw seemed to be
even more en rapport with Mr. Vande
veer than before, while Mr. Eidrklge
treated Mrs. Vandeveer with a defer
ence that waa. to aay tb least, ex
tremely notice bio. Not for tbe world
would Mr. Vandeveer show that be
noticed certain glancea with which
Mr. Etdrtdce favored bla wife, but
within him be was burning with a
smothered fury, and a parr of bio irri
tation was for bis wife tbst she did
not resent such treatment Instead of
eemlng lo be plessed wltb It.
Tbe four continued to meet once a
week at tbe bouse of one or tbe otber.
Mr. Vandeveer would have been glad
to give up tbe meetings, and hi wife
made no objection to doing ao. but
Mr. Eldrldjre and Mlaa Shaw were ao
argent wbeo It came their torn to do
tbe entertaining tbat the Vandeveer
felt obliged to yield. Mr. Vandeveer
attributed Miss 6baw'a persistence to
a desire to meet her husband, and
Mr. Vandeveer attributed Mr. EI
drldgVa persistence to a desire to meet
bts wife.
"Tour plan, my dear." aald Mr. Van
deveer one evening before one of these
meeting, "for msklng a match be
tween Eldridga and Mlaa Bhaw doesn't
eeem to work."
"Hmr waa tbe retort "Mlaa Shaw
aeema to be predisposed In another di
rection." "I don't know anything about that,"
snarled the husband, "but It's very
plain that Eldrldge I preoccupied."
Tbo next time I attempt to make a
match." rejoined tbe wife. "Ill aea
that there la ao one aboot to lead tb
lady In tb case fro as ber suitor."
Half aa hoar later tb party was
at Mr. Eldrtdge's" bachelor quarters,
where the meeting was to take place.
When tbe game commenced for tbe
first tlm Mr. Eldrldge aod Mlaa Shaw
refrained from, any Jealousy inspiring
glance at the Vandeveer. Mrs. Van
deveer, who waa mora observant tbaa
her . huaband. detected a tender look
passing between the unmarried cou
ple. When the carda were pat asld
Mr. Eldridga got out a light luncheon
and a bottle of Iced champagne waa
brought Into tb room. There waa a
cork aalute. and the boat Oiled tbo
glasses aod said to his guests:
"Maoy thanks for giving me tba love
liest womao In tb world. Mlaa Shaw
baa consented to bo my wife." a :
Wben tbe Vandeveer returned to
their home tb husband embraced bis
wife and aald:
"My dear. I think yoa aod I caa gat
