it: J"5 THE UNDERSTUDY By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS A train of cars stopped nt n station. A young man camo aboard and looked about for an empty seat Tucro was but ono vacant, and lio sat down In It besldo n handsomely dressed, mlddlo aged lady, who moved nsldo to mako room for lihn, changing nt tho samo timo tho position of certain articles of hand baggage. "You uro very kind," snld tho young man. "Not at nil," replied tho lady. "I am simply not especially selfish." "It Is a caso of selfishness that causes mo to make this Journey," re marked the young man. "Indeed!" said tho lady In a tono that seemed to Invito further con fidence. "Yes. My sister Is an nctress. She has boon an understudy for tho lead ing lady at tho theater with which she Is connected. My sister has n natural talent for tho kind of acting required In tho part and became un derstudy for It, hoping that sho might get nn opportunity to play It and mako a hit In It Sho has already done ro In private theatricals. Hut tho loading lady has not been obliged to give over tho part to her understudy once dur- j ing the whole t lino sho has been the understudy. I didn't wish IJcss to go on tho stage, and now that sho has bo- coino discouraged by her long wait 1 uuvo peraimut-u uu iu B.v uyuju i to bo nn nctress nnd como home. If tho lending lady would but glvo her ono opportunity to show what sho can do it Is quite posslblo that Hess might get an engagement nt n flno salary." Tho lady listened to this with con eldcrnblo Interest and nt tho end snld: "You didn't say with what theater your Bister is connected." "No. I havo no wish to openly ac cuse her principal of selfishness." "It doesn't matter. I am acquainted with n number of theatrical persons and know that Elizabeth Twining is understudy for tho lending lady at tho National, who plays under tho stngo namo Helen Wndsworth, but who is really Miss Stnnforth. I'm glad you have told mo of this caso of your sis ter. It puts tho matter of nn under study In u different light from tho way thentrlcal persons seo it They con sider nn understudy somo ono who Is prepared to tako a part In caso the nctor or actress must be temporarily laid off. They aro a selfish lot nnd I don't supposo it has occurred to this Helen Wndsworth that by giving up ono night's profit sho might cnnblo your sister tb mako her fortune." "If you know her I trust you will not mention what I havo Bald." "I do know her nnd, I thought, very well, but from what you any I havo not known her ns well ns I supposed. I shnll suggest to her to glvo your sis ter ono night in which to play tho lead ing part Sho doubtless receives some thing like $500 for each performance, nnd, though tho amount Is considera ble, It would bo only nbout a sixth of her weekly Income. Tho only coccuso for her not having given way In favor of your sister is that tho purchasers of tickets pay fo seo Helen Wndsworth and not Elizabeth Twining." "I novcr thought of that," said tho young man. "If it Is nn excuse It is n poor ono." Young Twining was very much pleased with his rencounter and what It promised. Tho lady did not say that sho would sccuro his sister tho oppor tunity sho desired, but sho iutonded to try. Twining bogged her to ap proach tho subject gingerly, to which sho readily agreed, assuring him that on no account would sho mako any troublo. Uowovor, sho cnutloned him against raising nny hopes in his Bister that might not bo realized. Twining arrived in tho city In tho morning, anil tho Bnino ovonlng word was Bout to tho manager that Helen Wndsworth had taken n cold nnd her volco had becotno so husky that Bho would not bo nblo to play her part that night Miss Twining, who ex pected at tho end of tho week to go homo with her brother, was hopeful that her going might not now bo nec essary. Sho hardly did herself Justice, being ngltatcd at assuming bo important n role. Hut Helen Wndsworth sent word that sho would doubtless bo confined to her room for sovcrnl days nnd per haps longer, so tho understudy hnd inoro opportunity. On tho second night sho did her best, making n pro nounced hit, which wns maintained In tho other performances. Then Helen Wndsworth returned to her work. On tho Inst night that Elizabeth Twining played tho principal part, lift er being called beforo tho curtain Again and again, sho found nn lnvltn tlon In hor dressing room to sup with Helen Wndsworth and bring her broth er, who, tho hostess had heard, was with her. Tho two wcro driven to tho hotel whero the nctress wns stopping, expecting to find her with her throat wrapped In flannels. But sho advanc ed to meet them with no signs of Ill ness nnd with an extended hand for Mr. Twining. Sho was tho woman ho had met on tho train. "Permit mo to thnnlc you," sho said, "for showing mo that selfishness In myself thnt I havo previously seen only in others." Elizabeth Twining soon after secur ed an engagement for n leading part and nelon Wndsworth took nuothcr understudy. i Not a Complete Qurprlso. I When William It. Hearst bought tho old Now York Journal ono of his man aging editors, Julius Chambers, Invit ed Hearst to dinner with him. They went lo n downtown French restaurant Chambers had ordered the dinner, which was u good one, nnd Ilcarst and ho had a pleasant time. Along toward tho closo of tho meal Chambers said: "Now, Mr. Hearst, I am going to glvo you a treat I have ordered something you probably never havo eaten or seen." Chambers nodded to tho waiter, who brought In Borao French artichokes. "You see," explained Chambers, "these aro n great delicacy. You pull off tho leaves and dip tho ends In thoauco and cat tho ends only." Hearst smiled a llttlo and follpwed directions. As they progressed Cham hers snld complacently: "Pretty good, eh? I don't supposo you ever saw an nrtlchoko before." "Well," Ilcarst replied, "I can't go so far as that. You see, Chambers, wo had 400 acres of them growing tho last timo I was out at our California ranch."
