It was an odd coincidence that the two plnya were finished at about the same time, and that on a certain day and hour the two authors called on a well-known theatrical manager In an eastern city. They could not trust their plays to the mall or express. They could not wait days and weeks and months and (oars for a decision. They could wait thirty minutes. Every theatrical manager la pre pared for these thirty-minute drama tists. Miss Gregg'* play, Inclosed In a lnrge envelope, was received with a bow and promised Immediate at tention. Mr. Cheeseman's play was received with another bow ten sec onds later and promised the same thing. A bell was tinkled, a boy ap peared, and he was Instructed to take those plnys to the secretary and re quest prompt decision. The secretary was a girl stenographer who chewed gutn and read novels. She took the tragedy from Its envelope, read the title nnd rallied one chew In order to sny, “N i t ” Then she took the comedy from the other envelope nnd missed three or four chews.

Hhe bad made a great suc cess In London from her own social position and the persistent booming of her aristocratic friends. Hhe was a terrible failure In New York.

AVIATOR HERO WHO DIED IN CONQUERING THE ALPS After having accomplished one of the most dangerous feats In the hla- tory of aviation— that of flying — across the Alp* an altitude of 7.- 000 feet—George Chaves, the young Peruvian aviator, died as the result of Injuries sus tained In allght- In g f r o m h la flight The flight was undertaken to win a prise of 120.000, offered by the Italian Aviation society of Milan, Italy, to any aviator who would fly In a heavler-than-alr ma chine from Brig, Switzerland, to Milan The race was regarded as particularly hazardous because It was necessary for the aviator to rise to a height of about 7,000 feet Immediately on leav ing the ground and maintain that alti tude for at least half an hour In or der to clear the Simplon pass. Chaves succeeded In rising to the required al titude and crossing the Simplon pass safely. A t Domodossolo, on the Ital ian side, while he was steering his machine to the aerodrome, to rest on his voyage, the wings of the aeroplane collapsed and the machine and Its daring occupant were dashed to the ground. The fall was only from a height of 30 feet, but Chavez, who was caught beneath the aeroplane when It fell, was terribly Injured, noth legs were broken, his left thigh was shat tered and he was otherwise injured. He was taken to the hospital, where he lingered until the following day, when he died. Before he died half the prize money had been awarded him. It Is a singular thing that the acci dent should havo occurred after he had accomplished the most dangerous part of his flight and that after having sailed at a height of 7,000 feet'over frightful chasms and eternal snows he Bhould meet his death by a fall of only 30 fe e t a Moral Not Forgotten.
