Success And a Recognition.
There Is a kaleidoscopic character
ntiout tho events of tho ten days or
bo preceding tho opening performance
of most musical comedies which would
make n sober chronlclo of them seem
fantastically Incredible. This law of
naturo wade no exception In tho case
of "The Girl Up-Stnlrs." There were
rohearsnTH which ran so smoothly nnd
swiftly that they'd have done for per
formances; there wero others so ab
ominably bad that flio bare Idea of
presenting tho mess resulting from
six weeks' toll, before tho people who
had paid money to see It, was a night
mare. Of all the persons directly, or even
remotely, affected by this nervc-shnt-tcrlng
confusion, Ro3o was perhaps
tho least perturbed. Tho only thing
that really mattered to her was tho
successful execution of those twclvo
costumes. Tho phantnsmogorla nt
North End hall was n regrettable,
but noccssary, Interruption of her
more Important activities.
Sho wakened automatically at holf
past seven and wns down-town by
half-post eight, to do whntcvor shop
ping the work of tho provlous day re
vealed the need of.
At nine-thirty nn unheard-of hour
In tho theater the watchman nt tho
Globe let her In nt tho stogo door, and
Itoso had half nn hour, beforo tho ar
rival of the wardrobe mistress and
her assistant, for looking over tho
work dono since sho had left for re
hearsal tho day before.
Sho liked this quiet, cavernous old
born of a place down under tho Globo
stage ; liked It when sho hnd It to her
self beforo tho two sowing women
camo and later, when, with n couple
of sheets spread out on tho floor, sho
cut and basted nccordlng to her cam
bric patterns, keeping nhcad of tho
flying needles of the other two. After
her own little room, tho mero spa
ciousness of it seemed almost noble,
In beeping with tho good luck which
had attended everything thnt hap
ucned In connection with this first
venture of hers, sho wns able to tell
Ualbralth that both sets of cos
tamcB wero finished and ready to try
on on tho very day ho announced that
tho next rehearsal would be held at
cn tomorrow at the Globe,
Sho persuaded tho girls to wait un
til all six wero dressed In tho nftcr-
noon frocks and until sho herself had
had a chance to glvo each of them n
final Inspection and to mnko nfow
last touches and readjustments. Then
they nil trooped out on tho stage and
stood In a row, turned about, walked
hero and there, In obedlenco to Gnl
bralth's instructions shouted from tho
back of tho theater.
It was dark out thcro and dlscon
certlncly silent. The glow of two
cigars Indicated tho presenco of Gold
mlth and Block In the mlddlo of n llt
tlo knot of other spectators.
The only response Roso got thd
raly Index to tho effect her labors
hod produced was tho tono of Gal
bralth's voice. "All right," he shouted.
"Go and put on the others."
Thero wns another silence after
they had filed out on tho stage again,
rind this time In tho evening gowns
t hollow, hcnrt-constrlctlng silence,
almost literally sickening. But It last
cd only n moment. Then:
"Will you come down horo, Miss
Dane?" called Gnlbralth.
There was a Blight, momentary, but
perfectly palpable shock accompany-

fun of the game Is getting tho thing.
Once it's got . . ." lie snnppcd his
fingers, nnd with nn tfligcr nod she
agreed.
"Well then, look here," ho said. "I've
an Idea that I could use you to good
advantage ns a sort of personal as
sistant. There'll be a good deal of
work Just of the sort you did with the
ficxtctte, teaching people to talk and
move about llko tho sort of folk they're
sunposcd to represent. It would he
dono more If we could teach chorus
people to uct human. Well, you enn
do that better than I, that's tho plain
truth. Under this new contract of
mine thnt I expect to sign In a day or
two, I'll simply havo to have somebody.
And then, of course, there's the cos
tuming. That's a great game, and I
think you've a talent for it.
"Thero you nre! The Job will bo
paid from tho first a great deal better
than what you've got here. And the
costuming end of it, if you succeed,
would run to real money. Well, how
about It?"
"But," said Rose, a little breathless
well enough what had happened. But
It was all right. Sho was going on ns
if nothing had happened.
The other mnn was Jimmy Wallace
himself. lie released, too, a llttlo sigh
of relief when ho saw her off In her
stride ngnln after that momentary
falter. But he hardly looked at the
stage after that; stared absently nt
his program Instead, and presently
availed himself of the' dramatic crit
ic's license nnd left tho theater.
As for Roso herself. In her conscious
thoughts sho didn't recognize1 the hope J ly "but don't I have to stay here with tlien a lnwvor in the croun looked up
already beating tumultously in Her 'Tho Girl Upstairs'? I couldn't Just Und recoirnlzed him. "Hello. Aid-
around, and ronrched back lato bw
own cubbyhole.
"You needn't telephone, Mlew
Bench," said Rodney curtly. And,
without another word, he put On his
hat nnd overcoat, wnlked straight over
to tho club and told the man at the
cigar counter to get htm n ticket for
tonight's performance of "Tho Girl
Up-Stairs."
It was after five, nnd he decided he
might as well dine here. So he went
up .to the lounge, armed himself with
an evening puper, nnd dropped Into u
big leather chair.
But all his carefully contrived en
vironment hadn't the power, It seemed,
to shift the current of his thoughts.
aThey went on dwelling on tho bo-
havlor of Miss Beach and young
Crnlg, which really got queerer tho
more one thought about it. . . .
He flung down his paper and went
into the adjoining room. Tho largo
round table nearest the door was pre
empted by a group of men he knew,
and ho came up with the Intention of
dropping Into the one vncnnt chair.
But Just beforo the first of them caught
a glimpse of him his ear picked up tho
nhraso "Tho Girl Unstairs." And
Tho rest of It didn't matter to Roso
tho more guarded but nevertheless
cordlnl approval of tho two owners,
who had yet to make suro on tho fig
ures; and tho details of settlement,
which left her more than a hundred
dollars' profit, even after sho had de
ducted the hundred sho owed Rod
ney. The point tho point settled
by Gnlbrolth's praise was that she
had succeeded.
Jt was, on tho whole,, a good bar
gain on -both sides. But Goldsmith
and Block enmo back next day and
drovo another bargain, principally to
their own advantage,
"You'vo certainly got a good eyo for
costumes, Miss Dane," Goldsmith said,
"and hero's a proposition we'd like to
make. A lot of these other things
wo'vo got for tho regular chorus don't
look ns good ns they might You'll bo
nblo to sco changes to mako In them
that'll lmprovo them maybo fifty per
cent. Well, you tnko It on, and we'll
begin paying you your regular salary
now; you understand, twenty-flvo dol
lars u week, beginning todny."
Roso accepted tho proposition with
a warm Hush of gratitude. But, from
tho moment her llttlo salary began,
she found herself retained, body and
soul, exactly as Gulbralth himself
was. They'd bought all her ideas, all
her energy, all her time, except a
few scant hours for sleep and a fow
snntched minutes for meals.
Sho gavo her employers, up to the
tlmo when tho ptqco opened nt tho
Globe, at a conservative calculation,
about flvo times their money's worth.
Even If sho hadn't been in tho com
pany, sho'd havo found something llko
two days' work In every twenty-four
hours, Just In tho wnrdrobo room.
Thero wnsn't a single costumo outsldo
Roso's own twclvo that didn't huvo to
bo remodeled moro or less.
On top of all thnt, tho really tor-'
rlblo grind of rehearsals begun:
property rehearsals, curiously dlscon
certlng nt first; scenery rehearsals
that caused tho stago to seem small
nnd cluttered up, and, last and ghast
liest, a dross rehearsal, which began
at seven o'clock ono night and lasted
till four tho next morning.
If you had seen them that morning,
utterly fagged out, unsustalned by
a sluglo gleam of hope, you'd have
said It was Impossible that they
should glvo any sort of perform
anco that night let ulono a good one.
But by eight o'clock, when tho over
turo was called, you wouldn't havo
known them for tho sanio people,
Thero wns tho feeling, on tho edgo of
this first performance, thnt they were
now on their own.
The appcaranco, back on tho stago
of John Gulbralth In evening dress,
Just ns tho cull of tho first uct brought
them trooping from their dressing
rooms, intensified this sensation, llo
was going to be, tonight, simply ono of
tho audience,
Roso herself wns completely doml
nntcd by the now spirit. .Iler nerves
slack, frayed, numb an hour ago
mid sprung miraculously into tune,
Sho not only didn't fool tired. It
seemed sho novcr could feel tired
again.
It wasn't until along In tho third
net that tho nudlenco beenme, for her,

thing that you squeezed and thumped
nnd worked as you did tiny, to get It
Into a properly plastic condition of
receptivity, so that tho Jokes, tho
songs, tho dances, even tho spindling
veins, that ho would tell Rodney that
perhaps even beforo sho got back to
Iter dismal llttlo room, Rodney, pacing
his, would know.
It wns so irratlonnl n hope so un
expected and so well disguised that
sho mistook It for fear. But fear never
mado one's heart glow like that,
That's where all her thoughts were
wncn Jonn Uulbraltn Halted nor on
tho wny from tho dressing room after
tho performance was over.
"I know you'ro tired," ho said
brusquely. "But I fancied you'd be'
tlrcder In the morning, and I havo to
leavo for New York on tho fast train.
So, you see, It wus now or never."
Strangely enough, that got her. Sho
stared at him almost in consternation.
"Do you mean you nro going away?"
Bho asked. "Tomorrow?"
"Of course," ho said, rather sharply.
"I'vo nothing moro to stay around hero
for." lie added, as sho still seemed
not to havo got it through her hend:
"My contract with Goldsmith and
Block ended tonight, with the opening
performance."
"Of course," she said in deprecation
of her stupidity. "And yet it's always
seemed that tho show was you; Just
something thnt T you mado go. It
doesn't seem possible that it could
keep on going with you not there."
fino compliment just tho sort of com
pllmcnt he'd npprcclate. But tho old
perversity again tho very freedom
with which sho said it spoiled it for
him.
"I may bo missed," ho said It was
moro of a growl, really "but I sha'n't
be regretted, There's nlways n sort
of 'Hallelujnh chorus' set up by the
company when they reallzo I'm gone."
"I shnll regret It very much," said
Rose. Tho words would have set his
blood on fire if she'd Just faltered ovci
them. But sho didn't. Sho was hope

tho act of catching It Ho guessed
leuve, could I?"
"Oh, I shn'n't bo ready for you just
yet, anyway," ho said. "I'll write when
I am, nnd by thnt time you'll be per
fectly free to give them your two
weeks' notice. They'll be annoyed, of
course; but, after all, you've given
them moro titan their money's worth
already. Well will you come if I
wrlto?"
"It seems too wonderful to be true,"
she said. "Yes, I'll come, of course."
Ho gazed at her in a sort of fas
cination. Her eyes were starry, her
lips n llttlo parted, nnd she was
so still she seemed not even to bo
breathing. But the eyes weren't look
lng at him. Another vision filled them.
Tho vision oh, ho was sure of it now 1
of thnt "only one," whoever he was,
"that mattered."
"I won't keep you any longer," he
said. "I'll have them get a taxi and
send you homo."
She snld sho didn't want a taxi. He
didn't demur to her wish to be put on

"Tho notion of Just going on not

Is well, to start another."
Ills eyes kindled
Anticlimax,
It was out of the limbo of the un
foreseeable that the blind instrument
of Fnto appeared to tell Rodney about
Rose. Ho wns a country lawyer from
down-state, who had been in Chlcugo
thrco or four days, spending an hour
or two of every day In Rodney's olllco
in consultation with him, and, for tho
rest of tho time, dangling about, moro
or less at n loose end. A belated
senso of this struck Rodney at tho end
of their last consultation,
"I'm sorry I haven't been able to do
more," llouney said "do anytmng,
really, In the way of showing you a
good time. As a matter of fact, I've
spent every evening this week here In
tho office."
"Oh, I haven't lacked for entertain
ment," the mnn snld. "Wo hayseeds
find tho city n pretty lively place. I
went to sco n show Just last night
called 'The Girl Up-Stalrs.' I sup
poso you'vo seen It."
"No," said Rodney, "I haven't."
"Well, It was downright funny. 1
hnven't laughed so hard In a year. If
you want a real good time, you go to
see It."
Tho last part of this conversation
took place In tho outer office. Rodney
snw tho man off with n final hand
shake, closed the door nftcr hlra, and
strolled Irresolutely back toward Miss
Beach's desk.
It was true, he'd been taking It on
rather recklessly during tho past two
months. But they'd been pretty
sterile, thoso long, solitary evening
hours.. He'd worked fitfully, grinding
away by brute strength for a while,
nnd then, In n frenzy of Impatience,
thrusting tho legnl rubbish out of tho
wny nnd letting tho enigma of his
great falluro usurp his mind nnd his
memories.
"Telephone over to tho University
club," ho said suddenly to Miss Beach,
"and sco If you can get mo n scat for
The Girl Up-Stalrs.'
Tho ofllco boy was out on an errand
nnd In his ab&cnco tho switchboard
was In Miss Rcuch'B caro. She arose
obediently und moved over to the
switchboard, then began fumbling
with tho directory.
"Why, Miss Bcacn!" said Rodney.
-You know tho number of tho Unlver-
ty club I"
Ho wns looking at her now with un
d.sgulsod curiosity. Sho was acting,
for n perfectly infalllblo machine llko
MIbs Bench, almost queer. Without
looking around at him, sho snld : "Mr.
AJdrlch, you won't like that show. If
ytu go, you'll bo sorry."
"While ho was still staring nt her.

She says I won't llko It. Do you ngree
with her?"
A flare of red camo Into tho boy's
'.face, and his Jaw dropped. Then, ns
rich," he said, nnd tho flash of
silence thnt followed had a galvanic
quality. The others began urging him
to sit down, but he snld ho was look
ing for somebody, nnd walked away
down the room und out tho farther
door.
He knew now tnat he was nfraiA
Yet the thing ho was afraid of refused
to come out Into the open' where he
could seo It and know what it wns.
Ho still believed that he didn't know
what It was when he walked pust the
framed photographs in tho lobby of
tho theater without looking, nt thorn
nnd stopped nt the box ofllco to tsx
change his scat, well down In front,
for ono near tho back of tho theatisr.
But when the sextette made their
first entrance upon the stage, he knew
that ho had known for a good many
hours.
He never stirred from his seat dur
ing either of the intermissions. But
along In the third net he got up and
went out.
The knout that flogged his soul had
a score of lashes, each with the sting
of Its own peculiar venom. Everybody
who knew him, his closer friends nnd
his ensual acquaintances ns well, must
have known, for weeks, of this dis
grace, nis friends had been sorry for
him, with just n grnln of contempt;
his acquaintances had grinned over
it with Just a pleasurable salt of
pity. "Do you know Aldrlch? Well,
his wife's in the chorus nt tho Globe
theater. And he doesn't know It, poor
devil."
The northwest wind which had been
blowing icily since sundown, had In
creased Jn vlolcnco to n gale. But ho
strode out of tno lobby and into tno
street unaware or it.
He found the stage door and pulled
It open. An Intermittent ronr of hand
clapping, increasing nnd diminishing
with tho rapid rise and fall of tho
curtain, told him that the perform
ance wns Just over.
A doorman stopped him and asked
him what ho wanted.
I wnnt to seo Mrs. Aldrlch," ho
said. "Mrs. Rodney Aldrlch."
No such person here," snld the
mnn, nnd Rodney, in his rage, simply
assumed that ho wftB lying. It didn't
occur to him thnt Rose would have
tnken another name.
Ho stood there a moment, debating
whether to attempt to force an en
trance against the doorman's unmls
tuknblo Intention to stop him, nnd de
cided to wait Instead.
Tho decision wnsu't duo to common
seuse, but to n wish not to dlsslpato
his rage on people that didn't mat-
tor. Ho wanted It intact for Rose.
o went back to the alley, braced
himself In tho nnglo of a brick pier,
and waited. He neither stnmped his
feet nor flailed his arms about to drive
oft tho cold. Ho Just stood still with
the pntlence of his immemorial ances
tor, waiting, unconscious of the lnpse
of time, unconscious of tho figures
