"Ho l dead to the world for it flood'
many hours to conic."
"Von must arouse him."
"InnMmilblP.'" '
"Tlicii hN i lunccs are mined I"
'Jlio scene was it pilrnl room In u
finhlonnblo cafe, the t pcakcr-i, a phywi
clan and Knos Dacrc, u theatrical
inniniffcr. llofoiv them ut a tabic, ly
ing back with closed eyes In libi chair,
was n handsome youn;,' man. It was
plainly to bo seen that ho was over
come with liquor.
At the opposite side of tho table
Rat a threadbare, half-tramplsh-look-Ing
old man. He was enllnjj ravonoii'i
ly as though ending u long fast. The
others paid little attention to him.
"Doctor," spoke Dncro, "this Is n
critical Juncture In the ittfnlra of my
unfortunate friend. Ho has made u
great success In New York In the title
role of Julius Caesar. He is billed
lp're to appear within an hour before
u select expectant, audience. He Is to
be married within a week to it most
estimable young lady. To disappoint
his audience here, to have the truth
come out, means his ruin."
"I am sorry," said tho doctor, "but
all my science would not enable mo to
place your friend In it presentable
plight under threp or four hours."
- He took the fee offered and depart
ed. The anxious-faced Dacro paced
the tloor In a transport of anxiety.
(Finally he turned to the man who had
ceased eating, mid now sat back with
the complacency of a person well fed,
and appreciating the fact.
"How did you come to be with Ir.
Fortescue?" he asked, In a half resent
ful way.
"Plainly, I saw him on tho street.
I knew hljn, but he didn't remember
me. I asked him for the price of it
meal. I needed It. lie was half-seas
over, then. When he got here he tilled
up worse and got Just as you, found
him."
For nil the nffected tone of care
lessness of the old man, he bore evl-
Closed
deuces of Intellectuality and a certain
quiet dignity of manner. Dacre eyed
him keenly.
"You say you huve known Mr. For
tescue before this?" lie questioned
skeptically.
"Yes, familiarly."
"As a friend?"
"And as Ills instructor. Ho was my
dramatic pupil. I taught him what he
knows. That was business and he paid
me for it. Today, not recognizing me,
In his too open, generous-hearted way,
lie was the only one among tho seltlsh
throng to lend an ear to tho plea of art
old man, down and out, for food. That
is sentiment. I understood the situa
tion," and tho speaker waved his hand
toward tho helpless tragedian. Then
ho arose to ills full height, something
majistle appearing In his comport
ment. "I thought ho had got over his
weakness for drink, lie has broken
loose at u critical moiueilt."
"Who are you, anyway?" questioned
Dacre, tracing a something of power
in the speech and manner of thu
stranger.
"A fallen star," voiced tho other, in
u startling tone. "I am not parading
my necessities nor misfortunes, but
once my name blazed tno wny to
many a hlstrroiilc triumph. I um
Macready Edgertim."
The manager pyvo a start. Ho was
not of the samo generation as tho vet
eran, but he recognized thu name im
mediately.
"Tho question is," continued Edger
ton, "can .tho situation be remedied?
He Is to appear in the title rolo of
Julius Caesar. He Is not known here.
Sir, I have a suggestion to oft'er."
Ho camo very closo to Dncro and
spoke almost In n whisper- Tho man
ager recoiled with n sharp gasp. Ho
was astounded.
"Nonsense!" ho uttered. "Sheer
nonsenso 1"
"Is tlmt so?" cried Macready Eilger
ton in vibrating tones, rising to his
full height. "Sir, I standardized tho
roles of Shakespeare over two conti
nents. You doubt me try mal"
Wayne Forlcscuo was' removed to
his hotel very quietly and smuggled
unostentatiously to his room. Then
Lying Back with Closed Eye.
tho manager took tho arm of Edgcrton
nnu icu mo way to tno theater.
Wnyno Fortcscuo nwoko tho next
morning, dull, dazed, dizzy-headed,
sick nt soul. With n profound shock
ho realized what had transpired. For
the llrrit time in two years the vllo
tempter of drink hud led blin nstrny.
He stared at his garish surroundings
in it lust, despairing way. There over
came hinf the bitterness of death, for
all the llnu foundation of life seemed
crushed away beneath him. He
groaned and IokmI his eyes.
The play be had disappointed his
audience.- Tho drink what Inane
folly might ho not have committed I
Kilst flb. flower of hl heart I sjie,
his promised bride! When the news
of his rctroKreHIon came to her, bow
could hu Jive to witness the inlncry of
t.'utt tender, gmtle heart 1
Tils hands were trembling, bis frame
weak and unsteady. He glanced Into
the mirror ns ho dressed and was
abashed at the accusing pallor and
wretc.'.edness port rayed in his face.
A bell boy, as ytts customary, placed
it pitcher of Ico water and a morning
newspaper inside the room. Wayne
drained the cooling liquid to its last
drop. Ho sank Into it chair, trying to
recall tho events of the evening pre
vious. At a point where lie had been
spouting some tragedy to a boisterous
cafe group all memory ceased. Me
chanically la picked up tho newspaper
and glanced at Its first page.
Startled, fairly hypnotized, he rend
down it column, a critique of the ven
dition of Julius Caesar the evening
previous. Was he dreaming? What
Journalistic buffoonery was this? To
an Irving, a Uoolh, no higher praise,
no greater genius could be accredited.
From start to finish the play had been
(lie hcusutlon of the dramatic season,
and Wayne Fortescue had won his way
to the front rank.
"It couldn't have happened I" gasped
Wayne. "In my condition "
fc'J'hu manager had entered the room.
He looked grave, bin hopeful as he
read I:i the face of Fortescue unutter
able contrition for ids sad lapse.
"Dacre," cried the tormented
Wayne, "explain that!" and he thrust
tiie newspaper before him.
"Yes," spoko Dacre, quietly, "Just In
time I provided tho understudy, lie is
here an old friend," and he opened
the door and ushered in Macready
Fdgertan.
TherQvvoro lipnest tears In the eyes
of the,: sorrowful Fortescue when he
lcnriiod wjiat true friends had done to
save his. name, to shield his folly. Tho
crisis was past and the few who knew
of thoA substitution were clnnnishly
professionally loyal.
"Iajjthe future " began Dacre.
"My" lesson will suflice," interrupted
Wayne Fortescue, solemnly. "Jt onjy
to shp'wv my gratitude, , tlmt; I dm a
man, , I would never skirt!, the, abyss
ugnin i
And they believed, and their faith
Was ipk betrayed. Then it was thnt
aynq, Fortescue took Into his heart
nod copfldenco the old veteran who
bad f!or 'the Inst time flashed forth
some.Cjf the brilliant genius of his best
days.
, JThey rejuvenated Macready Edgcr
ton, did tho manager and Wuyno For
tescue, so far as new attiro and full
pockctbook were concerned, and his
Initial rewnrd presaged a future com
fortable pension for life.
And Ellse never knew, and Wnyno
novcr gave her rcuscn to suspect how
nearly he had grazed the blight of
disgrace.
And tho happiest moment in tho life
of "the fallen star" was when, nfter
the wedding, ho placed his hands on
their heads with serio-comic eloquence,
pronouncing the benediction:
"Bless you, my children, bless
you P
Travel In Corea.
A Baldwin locquotlve, built in
Phlladelpliia, whisked us through tho
green hills and past the quaint thousand-,
ear-old villages of Corea. It
was odd , to seo the white-swaddled
Coreans, with their bare feet nnd fly
trap hats, riding Jn this most modern
of trains. We fled at 10 miles an hour
over rails where a few years ago these,
same Coreans doubtless Joggled don
keyback at 120 miles u day.
Any American road, says tho Chris
tian Herald, would have been proud
of tho dinner on that train. It was
vastly better than the dluners on tho
roads In Japan. Tho tlllln (luncheon)
was table d'hote and cost only one yen
(fiO cents). It comprised seven
courses, and Its main features, relieved
of their French disguises, were soup,
fish, chicken salad, beefsteak, brown
potatoes, succotash, Ico cream and lady
fingers, apples, oranges, bananas and
coffee. Plenty of everything and ev
erything good. Electric bell at every
table. Speedy service. Eternal polite
ness. And if this were not enough, Ico
cream nnd wafers were served nt Jl
p. m. I That was tho last straw.
Where Safety JLIes.
"I seo when a man runs for ofllco
he has to put himself in the hands of
his friends."
"Yes, my denr."
"If a woman ran would sho have to
put herself in tho hands of her women
friends?"
"I supposo so,"
"Well, I don't Imagine any women
will run. Think of taking such
chances !" Louisville Courier-Journal.
