bouquet of violets and orchids. Benny
was puzzled. 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!"
