The cnll of Hftoon minutes had been
plvcn long ago , anil .Iliiiiny must be
tied up. Tlio girl who was going to bo
nn actress looked doubtfully about tin1
small dressing room hi qui'st of nil Ini-
movnblc piece of furnlluro. Jimmy
had an Impetuous disposition which
had not yet adapted Itself to the limita
tions of the stage , and the girl felt that
therein existed a bond of sympathy be
tween them. She had reeelved her
name of the "girl who was going to bo
on actress" from the leading man. It
was somewhat bin-prising , coming from
him , tor the title was Mattering and
Bounded clever , and the leading man ,
being a decided genius , was emphat
ically the reverse of clever.
The girl llnally concluded that the
water faucet was the only thing In the.
room to which she could safely attach
the dog's chain , and she picked Jimmy
up In her arms to explain the matter to
him. She was Invariably courteous In
her dealings with animals and the
prompter , though nt t lines ofl'hand with
others.
"I'm afraid you won't like It , Jimmy ,
dear , " she said. "You never do like
being tied , for some reason or other ,
and the worst of It Is that If you Jump
nnd pull , as you generally do , you will
turn on the water , and that will worry
you , because you won't understand It.
In many ways , Jimmy , you are a very
human dog , you see. " She put him
down gently and fastened the chain to
his collar , while he licked her hand.
"But I shan't be gone long , Jimmy ,
dear. This is a short act. and you can
enjoy yourself thinking of how glad
you'll be when I come back. "
The girl fastened the other end of the
chain to the faucet , and as she did so
came the call of "Orchestra ! " Glanc
ing at herself In the glass , she laughed.
"I worship you. Jimmy , but 1 can't con
scientiously say that you're a help when
one's making up. "
Jimmy stared up at her in wrapt ado
ration as she gave her chin a saucy
touch with the powder puff. This ac
complished , she stooped and kissed him
on the nose. Then she hurried out of
the dressing room , forgetting with
proper artistic negligence to pull the
door to.
The leading man was surveying the
house through an eyehole in the cur
tain. By and by lie came over to her.
The leading man was Jimmy's owner ,
and when he remembered it the respon
eibillty weighed on him.
"Jimmy all right ? " he said in bis
most imposing Mark Antony style.
She looked up at him. She was ready
for the rising of the curtain and was
sitting in the approved ingenue fashion
on a footstool in front of an electric
light lire.
"Quite safe , " ehc answered , "since ho
Is tied to the water faucet. Hut he Is
probably in a state of active rebellion
by this time , having been alone fully
five minutes. "
The leading man nodded like Hamlet
nt the skull , "Jimmy's a social being. "
Then the orchestra began the curtain
raiser , and he slipped into the wings.
Ills entrance was not until later. The
girl began to think of her first lines.
for she opened the act. She also opened
the next and was always afraid she
would begin the play at the second.
As the girl was standing on the plain
deal side of a purling fountain during
the second scene , listening for her cue ,
the villain came up to her. She knew
the cue would be given in a moment
and therefore did not wish to engage in
conversation , so she smiled at him
vaguely and not encouragingly. But It
was no use , because he was not a pol
ished villain , but a villain of the deep
est dye. "I'll tell you a joke , " he whis
pered. "Jimmy's loose ! " The girl lis
tened for her cue no more.
"What ? "
The villain nodded. "Be funny ,
won't It , if he follows Penfleld on at
his next entrance'It's / that tragic
one of his. "
The villain laughed a wicked laugh ,
twirled his black mustachlos and
stalked away , his own entrance being
from the other side.
The girl looked around. There was
no one near to search for Jimmy or
get word to the leading man. The lat
ter was on the stage , happily uncon
scious of the Impending canine anti
climax. Suddenly she realized that
her cue was being given. She pulled
herself together mentally and went on.
During the scene her mind worked
double. The only person she had to
act with was the villain , and she knew
It was useless to appeal to him. Her one
hope lay In finding Jimmy during a
flvo minutes' exit she had later , when
she would reappear In hat and coat.
Her scene with the villain never
Bccmcd so long , and she made her exit
with a more exuberant Hcnse of relief
than even on the opening night , when
every scene finished was bliss unspeak
able.
She came off on the left nnd rushed
over to the leading man's dressing
room , which was on the stage , but on
the right side. The door was ajar ,
nnd the girl whistled. Then she called.
"Jimmy , Jimmy , darling , " she mur
mured begulllngly , but there followed
no Impetuous rush of little paws , so
she knew he was not there. She ran
back across the stage , searching anx
iously for the dog , and then upstairs
to her own dressing room. She
snatched up the hat and cape which
she was to wear , nnd as she put the
bat on and ran the hatpin through her
balr continued to look bout for Jim
my. No , lu1 TDK not theie , but the
tlfiiiirs. . The jlil clinched her teeth
angrily. Some one hud unfastened him.
She run down again nnd stopped at
her entrance door , and while slip lis
tened lo see how far off her cue was
she looked for the basket which she
was to carry on. Yes , there was the
basket , and her cue was easily three
minutes away. The leading man had
not yet begun his famous business of
walking up the stage lu silence , Hing
ing open the center doors and holding
that position for the applause which
always followed his plcturcsipie calls-
thenlc effort. After this he would de
liver a sentimental speech preparatory
to the girl's entrance.
She ran across behind the stage
again. Jimmy might have wandered
Into the property room , Props being n \
particular friend of his. The properly
room , however , held nothing more In- |
terestlng than Props himself , who was
smoking a peaceful pipe , with his feet
elevated against the sign , "No Smok
ing Here. " Props had a sardonic sense
of humor and no respect for the man
ager of the house , who had had the sign
placed there.
On her way back the girl stopped fern
n last despairing little whistle at the
leading mini's door and as she did so
noticed that all was still on the stage.
The leading man must be yes , Just at
that moment the doors were Hung open ,
and she could see him standing before
the opening , Ids shoulders heaving
with the agitation of high class melo
dramatic emotion. The girl caught her
breath tu alarm. As the applause
came she started to cross behind the
"road drop , " which backed the open
doors. She would Just have time to
reach her entrance , but as she turned
she saw that another admirer of the
leading man had seen him and that
the grand catastrophe was at hand , for
Jimmy was trotting from the other di
rection straight toward the actor anil
the sentimental speech was just begin
ning !
The girl was back across the stage
behind the "road drop" In a Hash. The
leading man was pathetically declaim
ing that life was not worth living and
that he would seek death In a foreign
clime by the very next steamer. Jimmy
was already coming 'down the little
passage formed by the drop and tin1
back of the set before the big doors
were reached. She knew she could not
call , for to do so effectively she would
fie obliged to pitch her voice above the
actor's.
There was but one .way , and If she
missed the dog !
She made a stop Into the passage and.
setting down the basket , throw herself
as quietly as possible at full length on
the ground. She had not missed. She
clutched Jimmy as his nose was with
in four Inches of the door.
And the next moment she realized
what she had entirely forgotten that
the speech was the last before her en
trance and that her cue was near.
With Jimmy locked In tightest am
orous embrace she picked herself up
and got round to her entrance. Al
though she did not express her hopes In
language , she had a conviction that
Providence had selected some one to
drop from the clouds and take Jimmy ,
now that she had so gloriously captured
him. She slipped her basket on her
arm and looked round wildly and as
she did so observed that every one was
on the stage but herself. Surely , sure
ly some stray scene shifter would
And then she heard her cue being giv
en. The girl who was going to be an
actress lifted the lid of her basket ,
thrust Jimmy In and walked on.
The leading man saw her liberate
Jimmy after the act , and so she had to
tell him the story. He was furious
with wrath of elaborate eloquence.
Next night he cani'j to her again when
she was sitting on her stool before the
electric light lire and made the solemn
announcement :
"I've given Jimmy away. "
The girl had loved Jimmy , but per
haps It was for the best. "Poor little
Jimmy ! " * he said softly. "I'm afraid
a dog is out of place in the profession. "
"Perhaps because there are so many
of them there already , " said the leadIng -
Ing man , his eyes shooting lightning In
the direction of the villain. And the
girl nodded.
The curtain raiser was beginning.
The leading man slipped into the wings.
and the girl who was going to bo an ac
tress began to think of her opening
linos.
l e Lecturer.
In o certain village schoolroom last
winter a lecturer from a neighboring
town was holding forth on matters as
tronomical.
Ills audience was Inclined to be skep
tical , and there was quite n llutter
when the lecturer spoke of the distance
between the earth and the moon.
"That feller's a fulo , " whispered the
village wiseacre to his next door neigh
bor , "and Aw'll prove It when 'e's done
spouting ! "
Accordingly , when the lecture came
to an end , the old villager rose to his
feet nnd declared his Intention of "ax-
Ing a quest-Ion. "
"Very well , fire awayl" smiled the
Iccurer.
"Wot Aw wants to know Is , how fai
ls It frae here to N. ? " mentioning the
name of another little village at some
distance.
"Really , " gasped the lecturer , "I
couldn't tell you. I've never been to

"Just sea ! " came the triumphant re
tort. "Then boo inony tolmes has tu

In "lor [ M" Nine" Si-we'l ' 1'ord telln

horse. The sto-y IUIMAs one who In
spects an unfamiliar object Captain
Mean looked du/.edly at llaniaeles. At

captain. With bead lowered to knee
level , with ears eocktd forward , nos
trils sullltn and under Up twitching
almost as If he meant to laugh. Itar
naele.s eyed his prospective owner.
Captain lleaii squirmed under ( lie
pize of Itni'iiaeli'H' big , calm eye for a
moment , and 'then shifted Ids position.
"What In time does he want any
way , JedV" demanded the capttnu.
"Wants to git acquainted , that's all ,
cnp'n. Mighty Knowlif boss , he Is.
Now , some bosses don't take notice of
anything. They're Jest naturally dumb
Then ag'lu you'll Hnd bosses that seem
to Know every blamed word you say.
Them's the kind of bosses that's wiith

"S'poso he knows all the ropes , JedV"
" 1 should say he did , cup'u. If there's
anything that boss ain't done In Ida
day , I don't know what 'tis. Noar'n I
can Ibid out he's tried every kind of
work , In or out of traces , that you
could think of. "
" .Must be some old by your tell , " sug
gested the captain. "Sure his timbers
are all sound ? "
"Duiiiio 'bout Ids timbers , cap'n , but
its for wind an' limb you won't Hnd a
sounder boss of his age lu this county.
Course I'm not sellln' him for a four-
year-old. "
Again Captain Hean tried to look
critically at the white horse , but once
more he met that calm , curious ga/.o ,
and the attempt was hardly a success
However , the captain squinted solemn
ly over llunmi'IcH' withers and re
marked :
"Yes , he has got some good lines , as
you say. though you wouldn't hardly
call him clipper built. Not much sheer
for'ard an' a lectio too much aft , eh1 ( "
At this criticism Jed snorted mirth
fully.
"Oh , 1 s'pose he's all right , " quickly
added the captain. "Fact Is I ain't
never paid much attention to horses ,
belli' on the water so mi. , li. You're
sure he'll mind his helm , JedV"
"Oh. he'll go where you p'lnt him. "
"Won't drag anchor , will lieV"
"Stand all day if you'll let him. "
"Well , Jed , I'm ready to sign arti
