Murray, or hold it back a bit."
The rehearsal of “The World’» Way”
waa on. Raw gaslight flooded the stage
and showed the auditorium beyond, a
shadowy pit that echoed every word.
Tom stood near the manager, the prompt­
book in hi» hand, interlining it with new
suggestions for stage business and some­
times altering a line to I m * more effective.
He was accustomed to the theatre by
this time. For two week» he had been
coming and going, spending much of his
time among scene painter» and holding
long interviews with the manager. He
no longer felt resentful at hearing the
text slurred at rehearsals and only the
cues given with <listinctn»*»H. He was
accustomed to seeing the players go
through the “business" like automatons,
and climaxes his heart had stood still in
creating arranged with mechanical ex­
actness.
The skeleton of the players* craft—
without the simulated passion and hu­
mor—the hardship and disillusion, were
all familiar now.
The days were too short for all he
found to do, and sometimes it was past
midnight before lie thought of returning
to Chelsea square.
The interrupted avowal of his love to
Virginia had not been finished. But in
a vague, happy way she understood that
even that must remain abeyant to the
success of his play.
Ofttiines the thought that it might
fail gave him a soul sickness that im-
bittered his food and kept sleep away.
It was not enough to hear it praised and
feel its reality himself. The final ver­
dict must come from the crowd, the
vague mass called the public, depending
upon its mood. What this would be
who could foretell? He heard on every
band of plays teeming with promise that
had gone down like ships at sea with
flags flying and cargoes of gems on
board, of others of only doubtful value
that had made fortunes and established
reputations.
Doubt left him no peace, and the first
night of “The World’s Wav’’ found him
with every sense quivering and alert.
Behind the scenes the air was freighted
with fever. Everybody was whispering,
peeping, speculating except Tom, and
he leaned against one of the wings wait­
ing. He could do no more. Opallike
gleams of excitement flickered in his
eyes, nervous tremors ran through his
bl<Mxl, ami behind an easy smile his teeth
were clinched. He could not breathe
freely until the first act was over.
Five minutes before the curtain went
up he peeped over the gasman’s shoulder
and looked eagerly at the upper right
hand box. He saw Mr. Kent first, stand­
ing well in front leisurely surveying the
house through an opera glass as famil­
iarly as if boxes on first nights were
quite everyday matters.
A little more in shadow sat Virginia.
Tom scarcely knew her in the new gray
gown and the feathered hat with bent
rim. How pretty she was! Happiness
was a tonic that had softened every
curve of her face. Her eyes, dilated to
a starry radiance, rented dreamily on the
still undrawn curtain. Her cheeks were
a burning pink.
A tenderness swept over his heart, and
the thought of all she was to him rose
triumphant above every other feeling.
Was it not good to know that one in
that crowded house was thinking with
tenderness of him, not as the new dram­
atist making a bid for fame, but just as
“Tom,” whose every hope was at stake?
Perhaps as they went home he might
whisper those three words that hold im­
prisoned in tlwir small circle the har­
mony of the world. He might tell her
in the crowded car, or for a moment be­
fore parting in the hall. It mattered
not how or where if only he received in
a word the assurance of the belief that
she loved him.
The first few moments following the
tinkle of the bell he never remembered
clearly. Save for the rustle ef the
prompter’s book there was absolute si­
lence behind the scenes. The house was
as still. On the hush voices swept to
him speaking the words he knew by
heart. The music commenced faintly
like the distant sob of waves—a swaying
melody painful and sweet. Toni dared
to lift his eyes and watch the scene;
then by degrees the painful sense of
trepidation left him, for this was the
pregnant action he had dreamed of.
These were the words fire laden, scorch­
ing, living—the passion that had put
on the garb of reality—the humor, sweet,
surprising and irresistible. Sometimes a
gust of laughter swept over the house,
intermittent applause that showed crit­
ical appreciation, or dead, absorbed si­
lences.
But when the curtain fell a sound
like a thunderbolt lea^ied across the
footlights and made the scenery quake.
It sank only to revive again, its clamor
swelling like a storm at its culmina­
tion. Ah. then he seemed lifted up. The
sound made him sick with delight. His
hour had struck.
The players stood around him. a flush­
ed, triumphant group.
“It’s a go.’’
“A hit."
“Went swimmingly. Every line told. I
I never played to a warmer house."
Words like these and the ¡»ersistent
applause followed him down the nar
row passage to the street. He wanted j
to feel alone for a little while the rap­
ture of triumph. They lied who said
that hope was a fallacy, life a failure.
The world had widened ami grown so ’
fair. The years teemed with rosy pos­
sibilities, mystic, beckoning. His heart
was full with a rush joy.
It seemed to him there never was a
fairer night than this, whic h marked the
first important ascent in his life. Frost
glittered on the pavements like pale
dust. The rays of the moon blanched
window pane« into squares of pearl and
sketched the outline*» of chimneys and
doorposts in fanciful blac k angles.
As he strode along his blood tingled
in the seductive confusion of a dream
where passion and triumph walked hand
in hand. Virginia—he loved her so! Sh»*
waa »<' necessary to him. He would make
up for all she suffered now. Ah. would
ho not? It would be sweet to lavish
upon her the dainties and elegancies that
all women love. She should have done
with pinching and worry in that happy
time.
Wonderful visions these, which Tom 1
saw revealed in the moonlight. Stain­
less, they buoyed his spirit and beckoned (
him on.
When he reac hed the theater, the sec­
ond act was over. He felt a little tired.
gAd hi* breath came fact, yet in his ex- •

when sne neard bls rich toned, familiar
voice acrues the footlights, a tear did fall
ou the new pearl colored gloves.
As he retreated amid mure “bravos”
and hand clapping he sent her a glow­
ing glance, and she waved her baud to
hiiu. It was worth having lived forthat
moment.
He was waiting outside the theater,
but only to »ay he could not return with
her. ami he introduced Delatóle, who
stood by, his chin luxuriously buried in
a great fur collar.
Before turning away he managed to
»ay in a low voice:
“Have I justified your belief in me,
I Virginia? Tell me that."
“You need not ask. The public has
I answered, but in case yon have any
• doubt let me tell you I wanted to hug the
audience en masse, and—just look at my
glove».’’
He left her laughing and half looking
back, and she waa glad—yes, glad—of
thia chance that made him theguevt of a
brilliant man on this happy night. But
I something cold fell upon her heart a» in
crossing the street she turned her head
and saw Tom striding away in the show­
er of moonlight by his new friend’s Bide.

Was I not just such a deliriously happy
idiot once?”
They had reached a broad, windswept
street that crossed Madison avenue not
far above the square, and Delatóle turned
the corner.
“You have heard of Max Glendenning,
of course. He leaves for Japan tomor­

friend of mine is his. We were chums,
had chambers together and lived a free,
ideal existence until”—and a savage sneer
twisted Delatóle’» lip still farther to one
»ide—“he went down before Madeline
Sorel, the burlesque woman. I never
saw a man so madly in love. She kept
running after him, too, making herself
confoundedly at home in our quarters
with her rouge, her songs and her ciga­
rettes. I wouldn’t stand it. We split
and parted irrevocably, but with no hard
words. He’ll marry her yet—the fel­
lows are making bets on it—and when he
does—bah!” Delatóle stood still in the
street. “Have you ever thought, my
young friend, to what lengths a man’s
infatuation for a woman may lead him?”
Raising his elbow he lowered his extend­
ed index finger with a jerk. “Straight
down. There’s no help for him.”
“A woman like that!" exclaimed Tom,
with sweeping disgust.
“Any woman, if she becomes neces­
sary to him, <’an kill ambition in an art­

At the box office the manager stood
chatting with some fnend». A low.
j thick laugh gurgled from his lipa; his
face was radiant. Everything about
him told of a crowded house and big box
office receipts. He saw Tom and beck­
oned to him.
“Shy, are you?" ho asked, with a rol­
licking wag of hi» head, an expanding
wave of his white hand».
He was a large man, red faced, pale
haired, one who had always a genuine
welcome for himself, and whose every
action was climatic. If he were only
offering a cigarette, he plunged into his
pocket with an air of mystery and
brought forth a triumphant surprise.

making the biggest hit I’ve seen in 15
