THE MORNING ASTORUN.-ASTOKIA. OREGON. THURSDAY, JULY so. 1903. An Entr'acte By FAN NIC HEASLIP LEO On3Tiit, 16, by Fannie Reasltp Leo With a final squeal from the first violin, that apparently tuned hard, the orchestra broke Into a rippling over ture and the aabestus curtain rose up on the painted one beneath. An usher slammed down the seat beside Elizabeth and laid a programme on It; then he handed the seat check to its owner and slid away. When you hare broken your en gagement with a man the night be fore, after a stormy discussion, it not the happiest surprise lu the world to find him seated beside you at the matinee, where you have gone to kill time and forget yourself. Elisabeth bowed stiffly. Hie man responded with equal frigidity. . She read her programme with ab sorbing Interest It was continuous vaudeville. I had no Idea, said the man at last "that you would be here or I" "My movements need not interfere with yours, Mr. Gayden," said Eliza beta Icily. She grew still more absorbed In her programme. A dear old lady, with water waves and gold rimmed , glasses, sat down with a thud in the seat on Elisabeth' left and turned a delighted smile on the girt. -Well, I declare," she cried, "!f it ain't Bessie Mclntyre! Law me the very hut person on earth I was think in of seetn. How are you, dear? And how's your mother? My son brought me up to town yesterday for a little visit He got seats for the show here today, and he's comln' for me soon's his office hours are over. Ain't that Nick Gayden beside you? Howdy, Nick? You haven't changed mite since you left Girton. I'm real glad to eee you." She stretched a black gloved hand across Elizabeth, and Nick was forced to shake it smilingly. "Well-well-well," said the old lady, "to think of my meetin you all here. And we were just talkin about you both last night See her blush," she chuckled to Nick, as the quick crimson spread over Elizabeth's face, "I hear you're to be married. Yea, Indeed we hear things in country, too, and, of coursa, since you all's families used to live in Girton, everybody's In terested in you. Well, well! I wish you all the happiness in the world, my dear and you'll need it Marriage is a mighty risky thing. And the weddln' Is to be in the spring, I hear That's good. June and brides and roses sorter belong together." She stopped for breath. "We are not" began Elizabeth. She bit her lips and began again. "We have"- "We have decided nothing definite ly, Mck interrupted easily. "That right,' the old lady agreed; "hold on to your swectheartin' as long as you can. It's mighty nice playin', and It only comes once in a lifetime." Elizabeth smiled In spite of herself. "Some girls are engaged three or four times, Mrs. Barton," she suggested. "Oh, Jus" fiy-up-the-crecks," said Mrs. Barton comfortably, "nit nice, sincere, honest girls like you that know the right man and stick to him when they f:ud hini. I said the minute I heard of your engagement: 'Now, there's a prop er match. Both of 'em youn,, both of 'cm handsome, well off, good tempered, sensible anl steady. Show me a bet ter, Jib'.ah,' suy I." "I outfit to tell you, Mrs. Barton," said Elizabeth, with a rush. "You're mistaken. I'm not" Tie curtain went up noisily. "Shucks, noney. mm. uurtou whispered, "you re too modest low don't talk to me. I haven't seen a show In three years." Elizabeth turned to Nick with a furi ous whisper. "This can't go on." "What are you going to do?" he ask ed stiffly. . "Tell her" "I won't." "It's perfectly absurd." Nick chrugKed his shoulders. "S-s-s-h:" Mrs. Barton cried In a jocu lar whisper. "You'll have time enough to talk to each other all your lives. Keep quiet now." After an unhappy half hour tha white curtain of the vitograph roiled down, find Mrs. Barton turned to the girl again. "I can't look at those things," she said; "hurts my eye'?. Now tell me some more about yourselves makes me feel right old to think of your two chil dren golu' to get married. Law me! I remember the time you wan't no high er than my knee. You were the worst .youngster In the county, Nick, and Bessie wan't far behind you. And, law, how you used to hate each other! Many's the time I've seen her pull that tow hair of yours." "It Isn't" began Elizabeth impetu ously. "Oh, yes," Mrs. Barton laughed, "It always was tow. and it still is." Nick grinned cheerfully. "And then you'd take her by her little skinny wrists and hold her off," went on the old lady, "till she was jus' like a ragln' little cat clawin' and f urrin'." "She's still that way sometimes," said Kick, smilingly. Elizabeth g ar,ed furiously. "Nic oayoenr me men. "Law me," stld Mrs. Barton. "I knew It honey, without his tellln' met What's bred In the bone- But you all always made It up then, and you always will I know that too." "I hope so," Nick assured her ear nestly., Elisabeth looked straight In front of her. "You were pointedly made for each other. Where you coin' on your houey. moon?" "We bad thought of California," said Nick quietly, while the girl beside Dim winced. That's right" Mrs. Barton agreed. "Sec your own country first and heath en lands afterward. And who're your bridesmaids to be, BesU?" ' Elizabeth hesitated miserably. Mrs. Barton's words were like salt In a new cut. They had discussed their plans so happily, and now that It was all over, she could not forget It She waited, like a coward, for Nick, but he sat quite sileut 1 "Your sister, of course ?" said Mrs, BartoBL "Oh, it's all"- Elisabeth stopped. . "All undecided," the old lady suggest ed. "I spose so. But June Is only three months off now. Golu' to housekeepln' afterward or goln to board?" "Housekeeping," said Nick curtly. "The curtain is .going up again,' Kick added hastily. Elisabeth sat In comparative peace through the rest of the programme. Then the last performer came to the front of the stage a boyish looking man In the conventional evening dress of the vaudeville songster. The or cbestra preluded softly for a moment, and over the darkened theater the man's voice rang out Infinitely rich and deep: "Oh, twas sweet of old, when our love we told" "Asthore," whispered Mrs. Barton de lightedly. The beautiful voice sobbed and sank and rose again with the plain tive cry of the song and the last wall ing chord: "I am waiting for thee, asthore," died away into a perfect silence. There was a thunder of applause. "You used to sing that Mrs. Bar ton whispered to Nick,1' "the year after yoa finished college. I guess Bessie remembers It Yoa sang It at my house one nlght-dont you know, Bes sie?" "i-l-yes, I think I do," said a wretched and uncertain Elizabeth. The man on the stage sang the last bars of the song again. "Elizabeth," said Nick, very low. Elizabeth turned, startled at the sudden call, and the eyes she lifted were heavy with tears. "Asthore," said Nick, lower still. Then he helped her into her coat and wrung her band beneath its shel tering folds. Mrs. Barton bestowed a parting benediction on them. I'm real glad I've seen you," she said, beaming. "Give my love to your mother, Bessie, and don't forget to. send me my Invitation to the wed din'." It shall be the first one sent out. dear Mrs. Barton," said Elizabeth hap pily. 1 Barton and the "Arabian Sight." Sir Richard Burton made ?."i0.i out of his translation of the "Arabian Nights."
