"Shall I light the lamp, daddy?" she asked, as he ceased to sing and began to execute a grotesque dance, still whistling the refrain of his song. "It has grown so dark that I can't see to give you jour cues," and she held up some tattored manuscript as she spoke. "No, Babsle; that will do for to-night. Don't try your eyes. Shall we have our usual chat In the dark, pet? There Is no rehearsal to-night. Ugh how cold It Is. Have we no coal or wood, dearie?"

"There, what did I tell you?" laughed the manager, ns ho slapped him on tho back and went on his way. ' Halllday hugged the little coin in bis palm, It meant so very much. It meant a little Christmas for Babsle, and It had entirely changed his plans for tho day.

But he was at the side, dressed and made up, fully live minutes before his first entrance. The other performers were looking at him curl ously, for his face was twitching and ho suoko to no one. "Nervousness or drunkenness," they all agreed. There was a ripple of laughter as he made his first entrance. It ncted like an electric shock upon him. He knew what was expected of him, and he worked desperately. "He'll do," said the anxious manager, sagely, ns he watched his grotesque exit and listened to the applause that followed It As soon ns Halllday was off the stage after the fourth scene he caught the as sistant manager by the arm "I'm not on until the palace scene." ho said, eagerly. "How long Is my wait?" "Oh, about an hour to-night," was the reply, Halllday rushed down the passage to his dressing room, removing his kingly robes as he ran "What the deuce are you doing?' cried one of the men, as he watched him struggling Into his overcoat. "Are you drunk to-night, or what?" "Don't stop me!" panted Halllday, "Hands off, I say! It's my long wait I'll be back In time. My child Is lost- missing since morning.

The chief penny toy now most In de mand Is something of a meehan.cal kind, either in the shape of a woik.ng model or puzz'.e. The old kind of toy, with no movement, but which simply was made to be looked at, Is of no uso to-day. Of the most popular penny toys, during the last half century, more than one dealer gave me full part.cu lars. About 1802 or so there was a tremendous run on penny watches with Imitation go d chains! And the man ager of a famous firm told me how cu- rloiisly this tamo about. It was all due to a woman who stood near the Mansion house. It seems.

Ono linn alone months; and the mnker, a Frenchman In Paris, had to put down new machin ery and keep his factory going night and day for four months to supply tho demand. There Is a fortune now waiting for nnn rclm fnn invnnt n. nitzzlo thnt will take the place which the "fifteen mju mu . puzzle" once had, or the famous "pigs in clover." I was Informed, on the very highest authority, that more than one regular street seller of toys could bo pointed out to me who had often made over 20 a week; and that 10 weekly was by no means unusual for many of them to make during a good run of a popular article. English Illustrated. An Old Timer. A crowd of young men were seated In one of the steamboat olllces In the city the other afternoon while an old steam boat veteran regaled them with stories about old times on tho Mississippi and reminiscences of old-time citizens. "Did you know old Bill Jones?" asked one of the men, nfter tho captain had finished relating how he inn a gantlet of Indians with his boat 'way back In the forties. " 'Member Bill Jones? Well, I guess I did," replied tho captain. "Let's see he died Just after the war. Ho was a good old fellow, too. I knew his father before ho wasmarrled to Bill's mother." Ono of the boys thought the old man was "doping," and, by way of tripping him up on his dates, asked: "Cap, how long have you been running on the river?" "Who. me? Why, I started on tho Mississippi when It was uothln' but a creek." Memphis Scimitar. New French Pistol Hnbor.
