' FROM T1IE GALLERY. In the "third floor back” of a dismal looking lodging house in a street near Waterloo bridge, a man was standing, singing. In a dilapidated armchair by the window, his audience—one wee, pretty lassie—was curled up, wrapped about with an overcoat, for it was the afternoon of Christmas day, and there was no Are in the cheerless grate. "Shall I light the lamp, daddy?” she asked, as he ceased to sing and began to execute a grotesque dance, still whistling the refrain of hie song. "It has grown so dark that I can’t see to give you your cues,” and she held up some tattered manuscript as she spoke. "No, Babsie; that will do for tonight. Don't try your eyes. Shall we have our usual chat In the dark, pet? There is no rehearKal tonight. Ugh! how cold it is. Have we no coal or wood, dearie?” "No, dad; but it isn’t very much colder without tire, berause the silly smoke won't go up the chimney, some how, so I have to keep the window open when we do have a Are.” "My poor little frozen baby,” he said sadly, taking her in his arms. "We will find lodgings where the emoke does exit the proper way—after Boxing night.” “Dad,” she said, as she nestled close up to him in the armchair, "shall wo have a Christinas pudding some day?” "Shall I sing to you, Babsie?” he in terposed hastily. And, gently stroking Vhrr soft curls, he broke into a lively music hall ditty. Babsie was soon fast nsleep. He lift ed her up and placed her on the lied. "Heaven help her!” he murmured sadly, as he gazed upon the Bweet white face. "If I had only been a la borer you would not have gone hun gry on Christmas day, my pet. I won der how many poor mummers are wait ing eagerly for Boxing night? I have looked for work without ceasing. I wonder if the noble army of bogus managers with whom I've been so closely acquainted of late are dining well tonight while she is starving. I'll spend every penny I earn this pan tomime upon her comfort. Oh, if I can only make a hit, now my chance has come! Oh, my Babble, my brave lit tle Babsie!” ****** “Daddy, it’s the glorious Boxing day at last!" cried Babsie, dancing round him In her excitement, as he was pre paring to go to the theater. “Everything wasn't quite smooth at dress rehearsal," he had explained to her; “so I ehall be at the theater all day." The latter part of this statement was not true; but he saw that there was barely food for one In the cupboard, and his pocket was quite empty. As he ran down the stairs a little WAS BEING CLASPED IN HER FATHER S ARMS. ahoe came clattering aftar him, and a saucy, smiling face peeped over the balusters. "That’s for luck, dad!” she called k out. He noticed the little shoe had a hole right through the sole, and he sighed When he reached the theater he found only a few shivering nubodies assembled on the stage. They all waited for about two hours for the stars, who had never Intended to ap pear. and then the stage manager dis missed them. llalliday met his mana ger as he turned out of the stage door with the Intention of strolling about the streets until evening. "Hallo!" said that Individual, gen ially. "Hope all the plum pudding you had yesterday won't affect your top notes. I think your song will fetch 'em upstairs. There's money in It-" llalliday littered an exclamation, and. stooping down, picked up a quar ter. "There, what did 1 tell you?” laughed the manager, as he slapped him on tht back and went on his way. Halliday hugged the little coin In his palm It meant so very niukh It meant n little Christnisa for Ha hale, and It had entirely changed hts plans for 'he day. lie hurried homeward with a lighter heart than he had car ried for months.only flopping at a cos ter's harrow on his way to invest some of his treasure In rosy-chevied apple* He sprang lightly up the stnlra to hts home, calling ' Habile!'* ns he ran, so anxious was he to see her astonish ment and delight Hut no an* wet feme; no Matter of little feet.

It was Nigel Halliday, white and trembling, and with huge beads of perspiration on his brow. “He'll never be on!” said the per formers in chorus. But he was at the side, dressed and made up. fully five minutes before his first entrance. The other performers were looking at him curiously, for his face waa twitching and he spoke to no one. “Nervousness or drunkenness," they all agreed. There was a ripple of laughter as he made his first entrance. It acted like an electric shock upon him. He knew what waa expected of him, and he worked desperately. “He’ll do!” said the anxious manager, sagely, as he watched his grotesque exit and listened to the applause that followed It. As aoon as Halliday was off the etage after the fourth scene he caught the assistant manager by the arm. "I'm not on until the palace scene," he said eagerly. “How long is my wait?” un, about an hour tonignt, was the reply. Halliday rushed down the passage to his dressing-room, removing h!» kingly robes as he ran. “What the deuce are you doing?" cried one of the men, as he watched him struggle into his overcoat. “Are you drunk tonight, or what?” "Don’t stop me!” panted Halliday. “Hands off, I say! It's my long wait. I’ll he back in time. My child is loat— missing since morning. I'm crazy with anxiety; she’s my only one." Through the streets he ran, thread ing in and out the traffic, heedless of the drivers. The fog had cleared away, and the night was starry. "Babsie! Babsie!” he panted, as he tore along. “Babsie! Babsie!” as he vaulted up the dark staircase to his home. All was silent in the desolate room. He stood there one moment and threw up his hands in voiceless prayer, and then he hastened back to the theater. Just before his entrance in the pal ace scene the doorkeeper made his way through the crowd and said something in a low tone to the stage manager. He saw them glance toward him and in a moment he was beelde them. “In heaven’s name tell me, Grahame! Is it news for me? Don’t lie; I know It is!” “When you come off, Halliday—after your song. There’s your music play ing now. Go on, old man.’ “Tell me first," Halliday replied hoarsely, “and I give you my word I'll go on!” "A little girl—run over—taken to Faith hospital. Don’t know who she belongs to. Died unconscious," Gra hame replied hastily. “Thank you,” was all the wretched man said as he staggered past them j onto the stage. A child in the gallery laughed glee fully at his grotesque entrance. It sounded just like Babsie's laugh. Bab sie now, perhaps, lying a little man gled corpse In the Faith hospital. Why was he there? he asked himself, if his darling lay dead. What did he care for money now? But Babs.e had been so fond of his “drinking song.” She had looked for ward to hearing him sing it. lie would sing it for her eake. Then his voice began to falter—he swayed elighty. "He’s breaking down,” was the terrified whisper. “Won't some one step in to fill the gap?” And some one did. Right from the very back of the gallery it came—a child's voice that caught up the refrain just as the wretched singer was about to rush from the stage, and the aston ished artistes, looking up to the "gods,” beheld the singer, a little girl perched upon the shoulders of a stal wart coster. It was Babsie—Babsie alive and well. By the time the little girl had got ! through the chorus and the gallery had shown their appreciation by ap j plause and whistling, Halliday had re gained his self-possession, and he sang I the remainder of his ditty with such ' joyous vigor that he carried his au dience along, and the infection of gay ety from all the smiling faces on the ! stage made itself felt all over the house. "That kid in the gallery is an old music-hall dodge,” said one petite to another. “Yes, but this was jolly well worked. I thought the chap had really broken down." replied his friend. Behind the scenes the “kid in the gallery” was being clasped in her fath er's arms amid a group of sympathetic people in motley attire. Babsle's story was soon told. She had been offered a quarter by a neighbor to mind her babies while she went out. The temptation to see her "dad" per form had been too strong, and the lit tle girl, with her precious coin in her hand, had patiently watted outside the gallery door for many hours. As abe had not expected her father home alt day she had nut been in the least un j easy. Then Manager Vaughan and Htage Manager Grahame elatmed her alien , tlon, and the performer slipped a brand new dollar bill into her l and "It's what I owe you for that unre hearsed effect," he said, Isigit.tlg - 1 Forget-Me-Not \« Hat I »«W II. llama* Oi**!•)■ mm* *»• dlaruaalng In • g»n*rtl »*!

IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO THE SMYRNA FIG. Culirornlit Couldn’t KhIm Till* Fruit Without Importing tli« l.lttlv Hug to Do lh« ItuHlno**—Thu Fedurul Ouwrn ineot InlrreatriL B While agriculturists, scientific and practical, are devising means all over the world to fight insect pests, the United States department of agricul ture has Just succeeded in making at least one Insect aid it in the work of raising fruit. This remarkable devel opment of a combination of entomol ogy and agriculture will enable the fruit growers of the West to raise a fruit new to America and one of vast commercial value—the famous and ex cellent Smyrna fig. I*or many yeais uuiiioruias mill growers have tried in vain to raise this particularly desirable fruit. Much money was wasted for plants and cut tings, experts from Smyrna and the Mediterranean shores were brought here by private persons, and time and labor w'ere expended patiently to no avail. When the scientists of the federal government began their Inves tigation the Californians were about ready to abandon the attempt. But now there seems to be hardly a chance of failure, all owing to the microscope and the scientist with his theories. They have done what tho “practical" orchard owner could not do with all his experience. The federal government's experts found that the Smyrna fig would not grow here because we lacked a little Insect that lived on the leaves of the trees In Smyrna and, by flying from "one to the other, fertilized them. So at once from Washington orders went j to Smyrna for some of these little I bugs, which were christened with the | hard and undeserved name of Blusto phaga. The question had been studied for some time by Dr. Eisen of the Cali fornia Academy of Sciences, George C. Itoeding of Fresno, Cal., and John Rock of Niles, Cal. At Fresno and Niles many Smyrna figs, us well as wild figs from southern Europe, in which the fertilized insect develops, w'ere started. Dr. Howard, the ento mologist of the department of agri culture, went to California to look over the ground to learn tho condi tions and to settle on the best points at which to attempt the introduction of the European insect. Another agent of the department, Walter T. Swingle, was sent to southern Europe, partly to send to this country cuttings of all varieties of wild figs which could be found, and to send over living speci mens of the Blastophaga. It was thought worth while to send to this country the fruit of the wild fig, or the Capri fig, as it is called, containing the living insects, and this was done on many occasions by Mr. Swingle. A Capri fig tree was in closed at Mr. Roeding’s place at Fres no, and, on the arrival of the Euro pean figs, the Insects, which were found to be in good condition, were liberated within the indosure. The living insects previously had been ob tained by correspondence by James Shinn of Niles and by Mr. Roeding, but the insects had died before repro ducing. Mr. Swingle adopted a new method of packing for transportation, each fig being carefully wrapped in tin foil and sealed with wax. The first specimens were received at Fresno in the early part of May, 1898, but, so far os could be observed, none of them laid eggs either from this or subse quent sendings. All through the in tervening year wild fig cuttings have been received and started under vary ing conditions. It was realized that the attempts thus far described were problematical in their results, and the chances of success were small. It was planned, therefore, to transplant Capri fig trees into large tubs and carry them across the Atlantic in growing condition with their fruit and the contained insects; and one rather large tree was sent over last spring by Mr. Swingle. it now i itiiim out, However, mai oy great good fortune Home of the in serts brought over in 1898 did succeed In penetrating the closed flowers of the Capri flgs growing at Fresno, and that they laid their eggs und huve practically established themselves in California. The first step of the ex perimental work is. therefore, a suc cess. Since the insect has maintained Itself for an entire year, there is rea son to suppose that it will continue to breed, uud thut California in tbe near future will be able to place a tig upon the market which will possess ths same superior flavor us that which bus given the imported Smyrna flgs their pre-eminent commercial rank. This flavor seems without doubt to tie dependant upon the number of ripened seeds within tbe fruit This fact has been learned through experiments iu the artificial fertilisation of Smyrna flgs grown In California. Kxperiments i were made by |tr Kiaen and Mr. lined Ing, with the transfer of pollen front i Capri flgs by means of a tiMithpb h and by means of a blowpipe In this way a large number of seeds were j fertilised, probably half as many as are fertilised by the work of the Hlas ! tophaga in Asia Minor but already the ' t baract eristic flavor of the Ku ropes a I flgs was Hotbed Tbs Itiber USe ml It, From the Chicago New* Site fat the depot I “It axil be awfully hard for these poor Iwreigaei* who mate to this I rouatry to lad theme*Ives slraagerw la a •trass* ant It- Oh do at mtad It V«M ses they ate used lo It isrisi bee* bora aad raised la feetga | las4s ' 444 True I aevtr thought j «t that" CAGED BEAUTIES CipMril for Salt* to the i’tir*i‘r*Hj In Algerian Marin. Mr. William Shark describes In Lon don Literature a visit, while In Alge ria, to a street of caged women. It seems it is forbidden to Europeans af ter dark, but he wandered In, partly through incident, partly through curi osity. He writes: "Some women were iu barred rooms and some In cages, of fered for sale. The woman in the first cage I passed was rather pretty, and, though her hair was dark, she had pale blue eyes. Her long loose tresses were eve ywhere clasped with little blue brooches, and 1 noticed that her lips, the end of her ears and her finger tips were stained a dull red. She accosted me in Moorish-French, and asked me if I w’ould not like to take her away from these jackals of Moors and Arabs, I said I was a stranger, a wayfarer, and if here today might lie far tomorrow. She told me she wag not an Arab ('Al lah be praised!')* and not a Moor, eith er, but a Kotilourll—that Is, the child of a Moorish woman by a Turkish fa ther. One girl’s face and manner im pressed me greatly. She was not beau tiful, hnrdly pretty, but she had a sing ularly winsome fare, with lurge, fine, gazelle-like eyes. She was a European, a Spaniard, from one of the Halearlc Isles. Strangely, she was very fair, with blonde hair full of a dusky gold sheen. She has been taken to Oran, at the extreme western end of Algeria, by a Spanish naval officer, and there In a few weeks had been deserted. For some months she was a derelict In that old Hlspano-Maureeque town. After her child was born she had gone Inland to hill-set Tlemcen, the old Moorish town that stands within sight of the frontier of Morocco. There a rich Moor had takpn her to his harem. On his diath a few months later she had been purchased by a Jew from Algiers, and straightway sold to a young Turk at Bona. The Turk, when tired of her, disposed of his property to an Arab sheik, who had grown tired of her in turn nml placed her In the street cage, an article for sale. For some minutes I stood talking to a poor imprisoned creature, when a passing guard took notice of the Incident and whispered to me in French to move away at once and return to the foreign quarter. He had passed on before I could see his face. The next moment I descried the evil countenance of a Jewlsh-looklng Moor, behind the cage of the Oran woman. He was her owner and he had been listening to our conversation. When he discovered that he had not a purchaser to deal with he came forward brusquely. ‘Do you want her or not?’ he demanded, sneerlngly. in gutteral Algerian French. ‘No? Then be off with you, Infidel dog, and by the way you came if you value your skin.’ ” A NATURE-LOVER’S WEALTH The following extract from an inter view with Mr. John Burroughs, recent ly published in Success, contains things that are well worth thinking about: "1 consider the desire which most persons have for the luxuries that money can buy an error of mind. It means nothing except a lack of higher tastes. Such wants ure not necessary wants, not honorable wants. If you cannot get wealth with a noble pur pose, it Is better to abandon it and get something else. “Peace of mind Is one of the best things to seek—and finer tastes and feelings. The man who gets these, and maintains himself comfortably, is much more admirable and successful than the man who gets money and neglects these. The realm of power has no fascination for me. I would rather have my seclusion and peace of mind. “This log hut, with Its hare floors, is sufficient. 1 am set down among the beauties of nature, and in no danger of losing the riches that are scattered all about. No one will take my walks or my brook away from me. Flow ers, birds and animals are plentifully provided. I have enough to eat and to weur, and time to see how beautiful the world Is, and to enjoy It. “The whole world Is after your money, or the things you have bought with your money. It Is the trying to keep them that makes them seem so precious. "1 live to brouden and enjoy ray own life, believing that In so doing I do what Is best for every oue.
