BEHIND FOOTLIGHTS!
By KATHLEEN M. MOORE.
( 1(11, by McCIure Nowipiper !jrndlct.)
"How would you like to cnll mo bnby?
How would you like to cuddle me?
How would you Uko to cnll mo baby 7
And hold me on your knee?
I'd like someone to call me baby,
For I'm as lonesome ns can be."
Little did the vast nudlcncu that
crowded tlio theater night after night
to see and hear tho winsome little
star sing nnd danco so merrily be
fore the footlights realize thnt the
pretty smile and airy manner only
served to cover up the sad heart of the
girl.
The musical comedy was booked
for a six wcckB' engagement, and
at every performance Betty St. Clair
won the hearts of more and more ad
mirers. Many young men yes, and
old ones, too, took her little songs
erlously, and sent her letters asking
her to be their "baby."
Sometimes Detty consented to go to
dine with them, but never more than
once with the same qne, for that was
as far as her Interest went.
Betty's real name was Loralne
Wellington. Sho had been so happy
In her little cottage with her hus
band or six months t She was so
proud of him, and so Jealous! It
was this green-eyed monster that had
caused the first quarrel. Betty had be
lieved gossip rather than listen to
reason and her husband. Thinking
she was only nn obstacle In the way
of his happiness, she decided to steal
way ono night.
Betty knew that the stage would
be tho last placo her folks would
look for her.
The curtain would rise, shortly, for
the final performance of the long en
gagement. At the given time Betty skipped
out on the stage.
The song seemed eternally long, but
when at last It was over, she danced
off the stage, only to stagger blindly
to her room. She was unable to re
spond to an encore, despite the fact
tho audience called again nnd again.
In her room Betty vowed she would
not go before that house again. It
was between the first and second acts
and the little star lay on her couch
her maid bathing her fevered head.
There" came a rap;' and o note was
slipped under her door.
When the maid handed It to her mis
tress she only pushed It aside Impn
tlentlyi "Throw it In my- waste basket,
Marie," she said. But as she thought
.better of It, she decided to give the
note her attention, and she asked Yor
It. When sho had read It through she
smiled nnd said:
"It just reads, 'May I sec you? I nm
In the lower right hand box. Nod If
yes. An Admirer.' This Is so different
from the letters I nm accustomed to
receiving, Mnrle, I am going to answer
this one. Give this card to 'Billy,' nnd
direct It tq my admirer."
It seemed no time till there came n
rap on the door nnd Mario admitted
a tall young man in evening dress.
"I am the admirer," he bowed to
Betty. She put out her hand to wel
come him, "but ns her eyes met his a
cry of glad surprise escnped her Hps.
"Dick!" she gasped. '
He drew back nnd stared nt her n
one In a trance.
"Loralne! My wife!" and before she
realized It she was being crushed In
two eager arms. Betty nestled con
tentedly In her husband's arms as one
who had found a, long-sought haven.
She was too glad to speak.
"I've sought far and wide for you
and nt last gave up the search as all
In vain, and " he broke the silence,
but she Interrupted with:
"Never mind, Dick, you can tell me
all later. I'm too hajlpy now for
words," and she looked up Into his
face with such n bewitching smile
that none could deny the foct.
"Madame! Madame! It Is your cue
soon," Marie cried excitedly.
Apparently Betty hnd forgotten her
Illness, for she sent Dick back to his
seat In the audience with a hasty kiss,
then arranged herself for her final ap
pearance. Her acting was even better
than nt other performances, and when
she sang the song thnt had made her
so popular the onlookers were capti
vated by her wlnsomeness.
They wondered why she catered to
the right-hand box more than any
other place. The thoughts of him
there spurred her on to do her best,
and she was forced to appear time and
time again to the applause. When
the curtain at last rang on the Ann!
net It was a different little girl who
prepared for home.
"Suppose. Dickie, my boy, I wasn't
your wife, but Just some little girl
who had always been on the stage,
would you have liked to call me 'baby'
Just the same?" Betty murmured as
she nestled close In the big machine
thnt was speeding them home.
"Now, you Just forget that I filrted
with yon. You ore my wife, and you
know I woub' never have fallen In love
with that little actress If she hadn't
reminded me of my wife. When I
discovered I hod fallen In love with
my own wife I also dlscoverAl that I
did not know her as well as I thought
I did. We're going to start our honey
moon all over nnd Idle gosslpers will
never separate us again, oh? Satis
fied?" lie bent 'close, squeezing her
fondly.
