EAR MISS RAYMOND — The
Magpie Dramatic Club, of which,
as 1 think you know, 1 am a m»-m-
ber, has been placed in a very awkward
position by the sudden marriage of its
leading lady. Will you help us out of
our difficulty by taking her place in the
approaching performance of "A Golden
Heart?” The part of Sybil would suit
you »plendidly. Perhaps you will let me
come and talk the matter over with you
to-morrow eveuiug. If 1 do not hear
from you by the morning 1 shall conclude
I have your permission. Believe me,
yoJr» truly.
ROBERT MORE.
Marjorie aRymond looked at the let­
ter with an expression half of pleasure,
half of alarm ou her pretty face.
"What shall I do, dad?” she asked,
appealing to her father across the
breakfast table.
"Whatever you like, of course,
Madge. Yiu always do, you know.”
"I'm not sure what I want to do,”
said Marjorie, ignoring the latter part
uf the sentence. "The worst of It Is,
I've get to make up my mind nt once,
because—let me see, what Is it he says?
l)h, here; 'If I do not hear from you by
the morning-----’ the morning! Why,
that's to-day—now—this very minute!”
"H’m! I*et me look at the envelope.
Why, that letter was only posted at
midnight, so you couldn't possibly have
gut It before this morning."
"Consequently, I couldn’t possibly let
him know In time If I didn’t want him
to call this evening. He might have
thought of that. How stupid of him!”
“On tlie contrary, Madge, it was
rather clever of him,” retorted Mr.
Haymond, regarding her humorously.
Miss Raymond attempted a frown,
but only achieved a smile.
"But 1 don't know that I care about
stepping Into Miss Montgomery's
shoes," she said.
“She was quite a
»tar. you see. and all the inale Magpies
are su*'li shining lights; I shall feel like
a farthing dip In comparison.”
"Why not talk It over with More to­
night?" suggested her father. “Any­
how, you needn’t make up your mind
till then, you know, Madge. The press­
ing question of the moment Is, what
are you going to have for breakfast?”
•
••••••
"It's awfully good of you to come to
the rescue. Miss Raymond," were
More's first words to Madge that even­
ing.
"But I liven’t said ‘Yes' at all yet,"
she protested, "and I'm not sure that I
am going to, either.”
“Then you’re far more stony-hearted
than I took you to be. Just think of my
position! Why, I've as good as prom­
ised the Magpies to get you for Sybil.”
"You know very well you’d no busi­
ness to do so. Why, you’ve never even
seen me act.”
"Now, remember what an infallible
physiognomist I am.
You've got an
acting face; that’s quite sufficient as­
surance for me."
“Wliat nonsense! I'm only a feeble
amateur—that's what Toni calls me—
und Sybil is quite beyond me. I'm
lure.”
"At least, why not have a shot at it?
It's a capital part, and you ought to
play It well. Just think of that ex­
quisite scene In the third act between
Jack and Sybil. Doesn't the thought of
that tempt you?”
"On the contrary. It appals me. I hate
those sentimental bits. They don't ap-
l*al to me In the least. I'm such a
frightfully prosaic creature myself, you
know.”
"So much the beter; then you needn't
lie afraid of letting the part run away
with you. Come, you're not going to
be so cruel as to disappoint us?"
"Well, If you put in that way—I don't
want to be disagreeable. But. I warn
you, I shall never be able to do that
love scene properly.”
“You will, with practice.
We can
have lots of private rehearsals. If you
like. My evenings are quite at your
disposal.”
"Why, you don't mean to say you're
cast for Jack? Oh, how funny!” And
Miss Raymond burst Into a peal of
laughter.
More looked a trifle hurt.
"I don't consider the situation so very
humorous," he said.
"However, I'm
glad If it amuses you.”
“Oh. I really t>eg your pardon!" cried
•he girl. “I know I'm frightfully rude;

More, «nd Joined in the laugh with a
