Let us describe them
It was a period three months previous
to the foregoing conversation. The
mother had just been laid in the cold
grave, and the father was, as now, un
able to leave his room. The wolf was
hovering around their door, and Marie,
timid in action, but brave in heart, had
resolved to assist the parent she loved so
dearly.
It was a bitter winter's evening when
she left her home for the purpose. The
sharp blast cut her to the very heart, as
she drew her thin mantle around her.
But she had read in the papers that girls
were wanted for the ballet at one of the
theaters. They were to apply at the
htagedoor that morning, but she had
been unable to leave her father's side at
that time. She feared she would be too
late; still she could but try

"I tried to come today, sir, but could

"Indeed! Oh, here he comes; you can

their import at once. He turned a

buz no sooner naa sne tasen ner aepar
ture than her father began to think of
her last words. They were strange.
What could they mean? What act did
Marie contemplate?
At first a suspicion swept across his
mind vague but gradually assuming
form. But as the thought pressed upon
his brain it began to madden him, and
for hours he tossed upon his bed of pain,
calling for his child, praying for her
safe return.
Midnight came and passed, and still
Marie came not. Several times had the
old actor resolved to arise and go in
search of her, but he had not strength to
do so, and as often would fall back upon
his pillow, groaning in the agony of his
souL
Daylight came and still Marie had not
arrived. But just as the sun began to
throw its golden rays over the city, a
carriage was heard to drive up before the
actor's house. He listened. He heard a
footfall upon the stairs and he recogniz
ed the footstep.
In a moment after Marie burst into
the room. She rushed to her father's
side and, throwing her arms around him,
she wept.
The old man did the same; but he ob
served that Marie's dress was now of
rich material and, putting her away, he
contemplated her for a moment with a
mournful expression. Then he said in a
trembling voice: "Marie, my only child;
your mother was a noble Christian
woman. She would die before she would
knowingly commit a wrong action. She
knows your struggles and temptations,
but will she approve of all your acts?"
both approve them!" exclaimed the girl
in so earnest and deep a tone that it
really startled her father; and as she
spoke she fell upon her knees and raised
her hands to Heaven.
"I believe you, Marie," said the father,
"and I trust you will forgive me for har
boring a suspicion for a moment. But
tell me what has happened."
"I will, father. But you must promise
in advance to forgive me for all that I
have done without consulting you."
"I promise you."
"Well, then, I will commence by read
ing an article in the morning paper,
which I procured as I came along."
"Does it refer to your affairs?"
"It explains all."
"Then let me hear it."
"Here is the extract, father:
"A Double TRiujcrn. Tho new play pro
duced at the theater last night proved to bo
ono of tho greatest successes of the season. Its
name "The Frozen Heart" is sensational:
tho entire play abounds in beautiful passages
and startling situations."
" 'The Frozen Heart,' " repeated the old
actor, "why. that is the title of my un
finished play!"
"Your play was completed by myself,
dear father, and it was your production
and my own which was brought out at
the theater last night, and with such un
bounded success."
The old man was stricken speechless

sight of her face in the gaslight, and said :
"Not bad looking if she is in rags. So
you want an engagement, ehy"
"Yes, sir, if you please," replied Marie.
"To play Lady Macbeth, I suppose?'
"No, sir; for the ballet."
"Oh! Ever been on the stage before?"
"Only as a child, sir."
"Oh; only as a child! Do you sing?"
"Yes, sir very well."
"Very well, so yon think; I might not.
Do you dancer"
"Yes, sir. Father was an actor, and
he says I dance very well."
"Oh, then you can come tomorrow
and try it."
"I will be here, sir."
"Bring your props with yon."
Poor Marie hesitated; and the mana
ger, observing this, said: "Uh. perhap3
you don't know what I mean by props.
Well, they are your feathers, jewels,
ribbons, laces, tights, slippers, gloves.
and so on. We only furnish the body of
your dress."
The poor girl etui hesitated, when the
manager asiced again, "Uan t you fur
nish your own props?"
"I fear not at first, sir," was the timid
reply.'
"Then we don't want you."
The manager turned away, and Marie
staggered toward the door, half blinded
with grief and. disappointment. But ere
she had passed it a gentle hand was laid
upon her shoulder, and a sweet voice
exclaimed, "My dear child, come and
see me tomorrow as early as possible.
Marie viewed the extended card and
turne'd her eyes toward the speaker. She
was a brilliant creature, and the poor
girl tried to stammer forth a reply, hut
could not. She left the theater and took
her way homeward. She could not help
thinking of the beautiful lady and her
magnificent dress, sparkling with jewels.
What could she want with her?
Even bright pictures of the future rose
before her vision, and these dulled the
sharpness of her grief at the disappoint
ment she had met with. She did not
tell her father what she had done, or
that she had an engagement to meet one
,of the great ladies pf the theater.
On the next day Marie called at the
place designated upon the card. Her
visit was a lengthened one, but when
she emerged from the lady's presence
she looked comparatively happy.
One of the first things Marie did after
returning home was to find the half fin
ished play which her father was writ
ing; and alone in her own apartment
she passed much time over it. She was
also from her home a great deal, during
which time her father supposed her to
be at labor in the tailoring establish
ment where she occasionally found em
ployment.
But if she became cheerful immedi
ately after her first visit to the theatri
cal lady, it was not long after before she
began to be thoughtful then sad. She
became verv nale. and at the time the
conversation between "herself and father,
described in the first part of this sketch',
took place, she looked as if she could
endure but little more, either of physi
cal or mental exertion.
The father had observed the increas
ing paleness of his phild. and it had
caused him much grief. But he had
said nothing of the matter, for he did
not know how he was to remedy it. He
had been hopeful, tat now had almost
give up in despair.
As evening approached poor Mane
grew still paler, but she spoke words of
hope and comfort to her father, and that
parent could not "but look upon her in
admiration as well as pity.
The hour came when business called
her away. She pressed her marble cold
lips to her father's brow. She held his
hand in her own for a moment, and
-,ear drops fell upon it. Then she said:
"Father, the darkest tame is just be
fore the dawn. Cheer up. I will re
turn in a few hours, and tomorrow we
will be richer than we are today."
The daughter left that wretched home.

The Inventor's Dream of Fame.
Every inventor has some idea of dis
covering a great useful article, which
will benefit the whole human race and
carry his own name down to posterity as
a great man of genius. Often these am
bitions schemes are never realized, but
the best part of the inventors life i3
spent m vain efforts to accomplish this
great result. Such high aims ennoble
and dignify his work, and, though they
may never be realized, he has the satis
faction of knowing that others will come
after him to take up the work which he
has left unfinished.
Many of the great inventions of today
have not been the product of one man's
genius, although he may enjoy all of the
credit, but the result of generations of
thought, experiment and suggestion of
dozens of scientists and inventors.
