How shall I call that strango Influence that dumbly tries to warn to prepare 7 Mnuy of us have had experlenco of this nameless tsomethtug, whoso efforts aro but ruroly heeded. Tho something that ono morning suddenly tills tho minds with thoughts of somo friend of tho far pnst, who U almost entirely forgotten per sistent thoughts not to bo shaken off. You speak of tho matter, und your family exclaim: "What on earth over brought him to your mlnd7" nnd that night you either hear of tho old frlend'B death or he Hcnds you a letter from tho othor eldo of tho world. I had nn acquaintance who ono dny found herself compelled, ns It were, to talk of thefts of remurknblo robberies. Sho beemed unable to turn her mind to nny othor subject. If sho looked at a lock sho thought how easy It would bo to force It at u window, how readily n man might enter It. Ilor peoplo laughed nnd told her she was hoodooed, but next day sho was robbed of every Jewel sho had in tho world What was It thnt was trying dumbly to warn her? It was on a 1st of January thnt my mind becamo subject to ono of those outsldo seizures. Tho snow was banked high In tho stroetB, had been so for days Tho unexpected sale of the house In Twenty-tlrst street had forced mo to now quarters; I was at that moment In Twenty fourth street. As I raised my head fronj hissing my mother a Unppy Now Yenr t remarked: "Tho streets aro in a terrible condition for a great fire, aro they not?" "Let tis hopo there won't be n great fire," replied mother, nnd began to pour tho coffee. A llttlo later tho Prench woman enmo In to pass tho compliments of tho day. I was immediately moved to nsk her "If our fire service hero wns not suporlor to that of Paris," and was greatly pleased nt her Joyous ncnuleRCcnco, until 1 discov ered that her remarks had rcferenco to our larger fireplaces thero nro always cer tain drawbacks accompanying a foreign landlady. A Clirlatmna Scene. Then I went to tho matinee for lo! the poor actress always docs double work on days of festivity for tho rest of tho world, nnd all occasions of legalized feasting finds her eating "a cold bite," Wo were doing :i play called "Pnlso Shame." known in Kneland as "Tho Whlto l'eathor," a very light three-net piny. The drosses anil scenery wcro beautiful. Mr. Daly provided mi with one gown, a combination of sapphlro-bluo velvet and pompndour bro cade, thnt enmo within an aco of making mo look hnndsomo like tho rest. Ho romarked upon Its effect, nnd I told him "1 felt compelled to look well, since 1 had nothing olso to do," but the day had gone by whou such remarks could anger him. IIo laughed good-humnredly and r.ald "All tho same, miss, that scene at tho organ Is mighty pretty nnd taking, too." Kor, look you, In the theater "u llttlo knonledgo lo not n dangerous thing," Com plete knowledge Is, of course, preferable, hut ah, how far a very llttlo will go! nnd hero was my poor tuut-tummtug, "Ono and two nnd three and" filling Mr. Daly's very soul with Jo, because, forsooth, In a lovely old Knglluh Interior all draped In Christmas greens, filled with carved wood furniture, big logs burning In an enormous fireplace, wux candles In brass sconces, und nt tho organ two girls in dinner dress, who, nervously nnxtous uboul n New Year carol they were going to sur prise their guests with nt midnight, seize tho moment beforo dinner to try said carol over. Miss Davenport, rcgnl In satin, stood music In hand, tho firelight on her hnnd some face. I, seated nt tho orgau In my precious blue nnd broendo, played tho ac companiment nnd sang nlto, and though terror over this slmplo bit of work brought mo to tho verge of prostration, (ho scene wns from tho front llko a stolen peep Into somo beautiful prlvato homo, and It brought nn astonishing amount of npplnuse. Hut If I had not "one two threcd" In Cincinnati on that grinning old piano, where would the organ scene hnvo been? Ah, n llttlo knowl edge, If spread over so thin, by a master hand llko Mr. Daly's will provo useful. So don't refuse to learn n little because you fear you cannot nfford to study thor oughlyIf you nro an nctress. A Premonition. While I wns sitting through n long wait that day I fell Into n brown study. Tho theater dresser, who was very fond of mo and gave mo every spare moment of her time, enmo Into my room nnd tv Ico nd dressed mo beforo I came out of my revery. "Whnt In tho world nro yon thinking of, MUu Clnin?" sho nsked, and I nnswered with nnother question: "Mary, wore you ever In a grout flro?" "No," sho said; "wero you?" "Yes," 1 nnswered; "I hnvo been twice burned out from shelter nt dead of night," nnd I told her of that hotel tire nt 3 n. m., whero thero was but ono stairway to tho street; of tho mad brutality of tho men; of tho torrlblo nnd the ludicrous scenes; of my own oscnpe, quite nlone, In bare foot nnil ono whlto garment; of my standing ncross a leaking hole, while n strango man pulled my right arm, frantically crying, "You como with mc my mother's got a blanket to wrap you up In!" nnd Mr, ICllsler, who had Just nrrlvcd, seized my left nrm, dragging mo his way and shout ing, ''Como ovor to tho house nnd get to bed quick, before you dlo of exposuro! while I felt tho water spraying my forlornly shivering shins, and was moro nenrly torn nsundcr than wns ever tho Solomon bnby. "Oh, my," said Mnry, "how dreadful!" "Yes, I said, musingly, "nnd what n flro this plac6 would make all these partitions of painted pine!" "Oh, don't!" protested Mary. "Dut." said I, "you know Hint's what theaters nre bullt for to burn la their natural end," nnd then I was called, and went upstairs to saunter through another net of tho mild llttlo play. Mttril Hit Jewelry. 1 owned but llttlo Joweiry ttion, but whnt I had wns noticeably good. My rings, In cluding tho hnndsomo pearl one Mr. Daly had given mo a n souvenir of "17," I had to remove from my fingers for tho last act, nnd when tho curtain had fallen aud I had rushed mysolf Into n street garment nnd wns leaving tho dressing room In hasto to Join my wnltlng mother nt dinner, Mary cnlled to mc. "Miss Clam, you nro leaving your diamond rings, but never mind" she picked them up nnd dropped them ono by ono Into a llttlo box "I'll lock tho door myself; you run nlong tho rings will bo snfo enough run!" anil the nnswerlng words I henrd swiftly leaving my lips were nbsolutely Involuntary und dictated by no thought of mine. Thoy were; "Yes, as far ns theft Is concerned, they nto 6afe enough, but In case of flro better glvo thorn to mc, Mary oh!" for the girl , had dropped ono on tho floor. It was n bit I of Orlcntnl enamel set about with tiny sparita or ummouus, i put too others ou, but would not wait for her to pick up tho rolling truant, nnd nway I went. At tho corner of Sixth uvenuo nnd Twenty-fourth street I enmo to n standstill beforo tho two great snowbanks nnd thought again whnt they might mean In caso of n lire. I reached home at a brisk pace, ran tip- get there In time I might do something Cod knows whnt! As 1 neared tho theater tho crowil grow moro dense, yet to my gasping "please oh, please'" an answer enmo In u quick moving nsldo to let pass the woman with tho white, tear-wet face. I broke through the cordon nnd was mnk Ing for the stago door, when n rough hand she's ono of tho company; enn't you sco?" "Oh," grunted tho pollcoraan; "well, 1 didn't know and 1 couldn't let her kill herself." "No," snld tho stranger, "but you had no cnll to pitch her about ns you did," nnil Just then u long, thin hand enught mine, nud Mr. Daly's voice said, "Como 'TIB A UTTLH OENTLK," SAID THK STHA.NGI3K, COMPANY, CAN'T YOU SKK." SUE HAS A HIGUT CI.OSK TO TUB LINE. SHE'S ONE OF THE stairs, throw off my cloak, and had drawn my dress-walat half off. when without u preliminary knock tho door was flung open nnd my landlord, Mr. lladln, whlto with tho excitement that had wiped oiit his knowledge of English, stood gesticulating wildly and hurling French at me In seeth ing masses. 1 caught, "I.o feu! lo feu!" many times repented, then "lo theater!" dud with a cry I scUed his urm and thook him. "What Is It?" 1 cried. "Do you mean flro?" Ho nodded, nnd again enmo tho words, "I,o theater!" "Rood heavens nnd earth! you don't mean my theater, do you?" and thon two great horecs hurling n flre-cnglno around the corner Into our street, mado swift nnd ter rifying answer. AVlth piercing cry I caught up my clonk, and throwing off somebody's restraining hands I dashed down stairs nnd Into tho street, racing llko mad, giving sobbing cries and utterly unconscious for over two blocks' space that my waist was unclosed nnd my naked throat nnd chest wcro baro to tho wintry wind. AVnriiliiK" HrnlUed, At the corner of the street nt Sixth nvenuo 1 wrung my hands In nngulsh. cry ing, "Oh, dear Ood! I knew It! I know It!" for there, stalled In tho snow, wns the engine, to denuorately needed a llttlo far ther on. And ns I resumed my run, I said to myself, "Wha: is It that has tried so hard to tell moto warn mo? Tried nil tho day, and I would not understand and now It's too lato?" Why I ran I do no: know -It. was not curiosity. I felt somehow that If I could enught me by tho shoulder. There wns nn onth, nnd 1 was fairly hurled back toward tho safety line. "Oh, let me nlone!" I cried j "I want to go to my room It won't take me but a moment!" Again tho rough hand reached out for me, when a strango man throw his nrm In front of mo protcctlngly, "Toko cars what you'ro about," ho saldt "ho a llttlo gontlo sho has a right close to tho line hero, child," nnd ho led mo ncross tho stroet und up somo steps, und there, op posite tho burning building, 1 could realize the madness of my net in trying to enter, The front of tho building stood firm, but beyond It within nil was teething flame. It was llko some magnificent, spectacular production, somo sntnnlo pantomime und ballet, nnd every now and then a whirling flame, crowned with mvrlnd sparks, sprang madly up Into tho very sky, llko soma devilish premier danseuse, whllo tho lesser fiends Joined hands nnd circled frcuzledly below. Mr. Daly never spoko a word. Ho had not released my fingers, and so wo stood, hand In hand, watching silently ovor tho torment of his beloved theater, tho de struction of his gnthorcd treasures. I looked up at him. His faco gleamed whlto In tho firelight; his eyes wero wldo nnd strained; his fingers, Icy cold, never les sened their clenching grnsp on mlno. Then enmo tho warning cry ilrcmcu nro apt to give when they know tho roof la going. I had heard It often, nnd understood that and their retreating movement. Mr. Daly did not, nnd when, with n crackling crush the wholo toof feh Into tho roaring dopths, his hand, his body, relaxed suddenly, n sort of sobbing groan escaped his palo lips. nut when tho column" of glowing sparks flow high Into tho nlr ho turned nway with a shiver und cavo not ono look at tho de stroyed building. Not ono word was spoken on the sub ject. Glancing down, ho noticed I had no rubbers on nnd that streams of water were running In tho street. "Oo home, child," ho said, speaking quickly ond most kindly. A crowd of re porters enmo up to him. "Yes," ho said, "In one moment, gentlemen;" thon to me, "Hurry home, got something to cat you could havo had no dinner." Ho gave ono heavy sigh nnd added: "I'm glad you were with mo It would havo been worso ulone." Ho pushed mo gently from him. As I started down tho street he cnlled: "I'll send ou word some tlmo tonight whnt wo'ro to do." I left him to tho reporters. 1 had not spoken ono word from thu moment I hnd begged to entor my dressing room. I felt strangely sad nud forlorn us 1 dropped, draggled nnd tired, Into u chair. 1 said to mother: "It's gone tho only theater In New York whoso door wns not barred against me nnd I I think that nt this moment I know Just how n dog feels who has lost a loved master," nnd dropping my faco upon my hands I wept long over the destruction of my first dramatic homo In New York, the llttlo Fifth Avenue theater.
