Sammy should have shanghaied Howe rather than permit him to occupy such a prominent seat, for of course he would try to nullify the effect of the demonstration. Then Benny noticed that Sammy wore a wide and fatuous grin had the fel low been drinking? He had never grinned like that in all the years of their acquaintance! And the pluggers were worse than Sammy whisper ing and chuckling to each other, their eyes glued to the stage. "There 's a woman all ready to en ter I can just see her skirt oh, heavens!" breathed Sandowlina. From his position Benny could not see as much as she could, and when he moved a man slipped into the space he had intended to fill. Sammy was standing, his offering poised to throw. With relief Benny speculated, 'He must have put wires on all the bouquets! That 's it." As his gaze went past Ned Howe, it rested on Alfie Lawler of Lawler and Gordon, the two song-writers who had cripped Von Linden and Nolan by starting a catalog of their own. Alfie had a bouquet. Beyond him sat Gordon, grinning harder than Sammy and his cohorts, and Benny was amazed to note that Gordon was pro vided with a larger floral piece than Alfie. "I think it 's a burning shame for one performer to get all them flowers when the poor are starvin'," said Sandowlina hysterically. The stout young man ended his medley, to moderate applause. He rose and bowed, essayed speech the house was instantly silent and smiling said after another bow, "1 take much pleasure in presenting my partner." He returned to the piano, the stage lights went out, and on the black vel- .vet drop behind him in electric letters glittered thickly, and she took a tighter grasp on his hand. This was Dollie's "plan"! And that that that fat pianist who would n't stick to a de cent woman like Sandowlina, that unworthy Walter he was the man Dollie preferred to Benny Von Lin den, the richest publisher in the busi ness, who had spent his money on her royally, and would have given his blood as generously! The offensive pianist, with his smile, and his com placent bow, was addressing the au dience, Dollie having taken nine bows and made her exit. "I take pleasure in announcing that Mrs. Von Linden's next song is her own composition, both words and music, entitled "My Only Love is Benny. I thank you." "I can't stay here I'm sick," stammered Benny, but still he did not go. He must hear it. "Walter said 'Mrs.,' an' a profes sional woman's always 'Miss'; so she 's payin' you a graceful tribute," said Sandowlina sadly. 'Walter don't look as bad as he is, does he? It 's the musical part of him 's responsible, I s'pose." DOLLIE VON LINDEN. The pianist played the vamp of I Was Not Meant For You, the orches tra softly following him. Benny felt Sandowlina clinging to his arm, heard the man standing next him ask ing if that girl was n't a beauty, and he saw Sammy, Ned Howe, Lawler and Gordon, and the pluggers, hurl their flowers. A tremendous clapping began, with Sammy smiting his sea soned palms, Howe who had been abroad yelling, "Brava! Bravo!" "Oh, you good-Iookin' kid!" cried someone who had not enjoyed Howe's advantages. . Benny only stared. There was no wire on Sammy's bouquet, and the fragrant masses of bloom were heaped around the feet of a dark-haired, big- eyed girl in a black velvet gown with a long train. The whole garment was thickly sewn with brilliant rhine stones, which the spotlight set a-sparkle. Her arms were bare, and Benny's solitaire was on her third finger his wedding ring, too! When he saw that, he was half way down an aisle, fully intending to shout at her. "Take off that wedding ring!" But men in aisle seats were clutch ing his coat tails, an usher gripped his sleeve, and Sandowlina, good friend that she was, had hold of him, saying gently, "Now, Benny boy, you must n't! It ain't a manly thing to knock no woman's act, no matter what she 's done to you you come with Sandy, now that 's right." He went slowly up the aisle with her, the usher trailing, while those Who had noticed him whispered. They stopped in a shadowy place where the usher said no one would bother them, and Benny, with San dowlina's hand in his, heard Dollie sing Was Not Meant For You! 'She need n t have told the whole profession," he murmured. 'She looks awful sweet. She al ways does, on or off," said Sandowlina wistfully. 'I can't talk, Sandy," he answered pOLLIE appeared in an ingenue '-'frock of pink Benny's color that she wore so often at home her hair in a loose braid. The pianist was play ing the introduction with spirit, and she commenced the verse. It was a waltz song, the words original and the meter excellent, but the music was inadequate. At the second chorus the audience was humming with her as she trilled about the girl who met so many, many. But when she had said good night, and put out the light, she only dreamed of Benny! He was fit ting a better melody to It as she sang, a real melody, strong enough for a long campaign, instead of an imita tive little waltz that was only an echo of the work of others. Take that song, with bis melody, and it would make a hummer for a summer num ber! Why had not Dollie disclosed this precious gift of word-writing to him? It was this part of her that had clamored for utterance, when she in sisted on returning to the stage, whereas she might have been his partner Von Linden and Von Lin den! "Sammy 's left his box," sighed Sandowlina; and as she said it there was Sammy in front of them, grin ning like an ape. Benny waved him off. He was not physically fit to en dure Sammy, nor the turning up of the house lights, nor anything that meant standing erect and talking or listening. But Sammy would not be repulsed. "Talk about puttin' it over! WThen I got in back an' seen her, she gimme a kiss, she was that glad to see me!" he exploded, and Benny groaned. Sammy proceeded, "A' course I had to switch all plans an' work wit' the H. and H. bunch; they was too cheap to buy flowers, an' I put that bokay into Howe's mit myself, an' then I meets Alfie, an' he likes the missus, so at least he come through an' acted like a ge'l'man in the matter. I used my discretion all the way, as the missus had n't signed a contract 'cept for the ballad, an' she 's kiddin' Howe, along. Tanner, her partner, he wants to go with Howe 'cause they got Jimmy Del monico there, but at that there's no friction, an' she gives him credit for bein' the Harvard student what done the rescuin', an' it was him got the zebras that 's class, you know! She says for you to come round as soon as she 's off, an' meet him eh?" "I I said, do you mean it 's only business between 'em?" Sandowlina and Benny did not breathe at all until Sammy, in a hor rified voice, exclaimed, "Why you great big pitiful mutt, don't you know yet when a girl 's the square kind? What? Come on around to the stage door!"
