Delays are dangerous.
Experiment means delay.

Take the testimony of friends and neighbers.
Easy to prove such evidence.
Ask them about It,
Local testimony is the best proof.

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.
