Hushing downstairs two steps at n

"Where is she?" Rasped Tlllle, vis

asked.
"Von wife," was the faint rejily.
"My wife? Alas. I am not the fortu

In trouble and need Iho counsel of a
woman. Wait a moment."
Tlllle stood nehnst as be left the
room In haste. She heard him talking
In the hall below to one of the goxip

Evidently he was lirliixlng nssistaui-e.

gave them to Tlllle, who donned them
for disguise In rase of an encounter
with the man who bad gone to sum

The girls reached Tlllie'a apartments
without any mishaps.
"Well." asked Alloc, looking up In
amusement, "did yon rescue the abased
wife, or were yon ordered out?"
"Oh. Alice." was the hysterical laugh,
"he hasn't auy wife!"
"Whose wife was he beating?" de
manded the Indignant sister.
"He must have killed her or bidden
her. I could see no one, and be
thought I was lit trouble and went to
summon aid. He was bringing that
glib tongued Mrs. Hunt as first aid to
the Injured when I ducked and ran
Into Eleanor's room, or lb room she
vacated yesterday and which Is now
occupied by an elderly man who evi

"The plot thickens! Maybe yon will

Early the next morning a moving
ran carried away their effects to an
other part of the clty.und Tlllle breath
ed more freely.
One morning a few weeks later she
was invited to Join a box party at one
of the theaters. When the party en
tered the play bad liegun. A contin
ued applause caused Tlllle to direct
her attention to the stage before tak
ing ber scat.
There was the man whose apartment
she had entered In defense of bis wife!
For n full minute she stood gnslng
Into his eyes. The audience noticed
his attention to the party, but con
strued It n rebuke for their late en
trance. At the end of the net a note was
handed to one of the men In the party.
who IitiuictMutely withdrew for a mo- j
mcnt. When he returned he Invited
everyltody to Join him at a supper aft
er the play. Ills casual remark that
he had invited the young actor Reg
inald Montague to Join them gave n
thrill of mixed delight and apprehen
sion to Tlllle.
"I shall have to explain, and what
can I say?" she thought.
She was the last to meet the popular
young actor, who said, with a whim
sical look: "Miss Monroe and I don't
need an Introduction. We have met
before."
Ro It naturally happened that Tlllle
wss left to bis charge en route to the
i supper.
"Miss Monroe," he began the dread
ed Interview, "will you not tell me why
you appealed to me for aid and then
vanished in so mysterious a manner?
I have haunted the halls of the apart
ment since that night for one more
glimpse of you, and I have looked my
audiences over every night, hoping to
see you. I brought one of the lodgers
tip to my room, but you were gone.
We looked everywhere, and I believe
sho thinks the Incident a delusion of
my senses."
"I well, you see, I lived there then.
I had the apartment over yours."
"And you have been so near ull these
weeks?"
"Oh, no! We moved the next day.
Alice was so ashamed of nty actions!"
"But where did you vanish that
time, and why?"
"I went Into another room with
out knocking, ns I did at your room
only I thought It was a frlend'a room
or had lieen. and there was another
strange man"
Ho looked bewildered.
"Oh," he said, after a moment, "you
mistook my room for some one else's?
I remember you asked for iny wife."
"Oh." groaned Tlllle, "I might as
well make a clean breast of It. For
two nights I had beard you talking so
loud and In such an angry voice, tnd
then I beard sounds well, to be hon
est. Sister Allen and I thought you
were abusing your wife, and I couldn't
stand It. I flew to ber aid and. well
I will never do it again !"
Ills mirth was unrestrained.
"I waa rehearsing my part. I must
have made more of a hit than I In
tended. Dut I think It was sweet of
you to dare a rescue. But why didn't
you explain?"
"You went for that awful woman,
and so we moved early the next morn
ing. Ob, if I bad only known who you
were I should have so enjoyed listen
ing to the rehearsals!"
"I have a new play," he said, "not a
tragic part like that one, but the part
of a lover. May I come and rehearse
to you?"
"Our walls nro very thin," said Tll
lle ruefully.
"But my part calls for a low, soft
tone. May I?"
"If you will never tell of my mis
take." "I promise." was the earnest re
sponse. Not a Success.
The experiment was uot a success.
