And that evening Maida earring- ford was to play the part. 0! Juliet. at the Duke of Beldairc's. It was little wonder that his the- atrical ventures were so well liked, tor he left nothing undone to sun;- round them with all the pleasures that a lively imagination and lavish expenditure could. And then, too. he was an indefatigable worker, and contrived to fill everybody with his own enthusiasm. ' Guy. as stage carpenter, was in his element. and worked as no man on day's wages ever did work. showing. moreover, an ingenuity and skill that proved that a good carpenter had been spoiled when fortune made an aristocrat of him. At the first. Maida did not show any more than a passing interest in the part she had to perform. and her lather became very anxious when he saw how little she seemed to study her part. for he was so proud of her that he could not bear to think of her not doing well. And Lord Algy. too. seemed very much concerned; so that. from a desire to please them both, she roused herself to take an interest she did not feel. Lady Gladys, all the while, was too much interested in her own part of Julia, in “The Hunchback." to pay very much attention to Maida. and the latter was therefore spared the disagreeable espionage of the jealous little creature during a time when it would have been most irk- $01110. And Maida was so grateful for the unintentional relic! that she volun- teered to Lady Gladys several very telling bits of business, which the pretty little creature was only too glad to receive and profit by. And as her acting was really very good for an amateur, it seemed. as mat- ters stood. as if she were going to carry oil the honors of the evening. Alter that the interest grew on her, and she ollered suggestions now and again. These when adopted from a feeling of politeness, proved so admirable that, after a time, on diflicult occasions they all would turn to her for advice. When the test came she showed that she knew her lines much more perfectly than any of the others, no matter how hard they may have studied; but she went‘ through the part with so little enthusiasm that, in spite of the feel- ing that she could do well. they all, with the exception of Lord Algy, be- gan to have a tear that she would make a liasco of the part. And nobody was more sure of it. than Lady Gladys herself; and that fact, together with the additional one that during the course of the re- hearsals she was thrown a great deal with (my, kept her in the most ami- able mood. As the day came nearer. the in- terest and excitement grew. until it seemed as if everybody but Maida was on the verge of distraction. Sir Richard was totally unlike his old calm selfâ€"contained self, and was as nervous as, according to all estabâ€" lished rules. Maida should have been. with the honors o! the evening de- pendent upon her: lie was satisfied that she could eclipse all previous amateur efforts it she would but try, but when he saw her going about smiling and un- concerned in the midst of all the "utter and worry. he could not help feeling that she would fail by reason of underestimating the seriousness of the occasion. Mulda would have preferred dres- sing the part as quietly as the case would permit. but Sir Richard was so desirous of having his beautiful daughter shine, that nothing less than gowns from Worth would satis- fy him, and she yielded rather than disobligc him. Lord Algy. however, had been studying Maida. and he told them, with a confidential smile. that she would astonish them when the night of the perlormance came. He really was an expert in private theatricals, and he had recognized in Maida a lamiliarity with details which all his practice had not taught him.’ But. he. said nothing of it; for it Maida did not care to have it known. he Was too true a friend to speak of it. the real reason for her knowledge. For Romeo. Lord Algy had select- ed an amateur actor of celebrity. who had made his mark in the part, and was accounted one of the very best in England. He had come up from London. and was spending the intervening time with the Duke of Deldaire. His name was Sir George Mnnvilie. And it was a serious occasion; for the fact that the Duke of Beldaire was the treasurer and Lord Algy the manager, gave everybody the assur- ance that the allair would be a not- able one. In consequence, it was an- ticipated by the fashionable world as one of the great events of the season. and there was an audience assured that would have been the envy of a prolesslonal manager. The theatre was a beautiful little place. and the stage was all that money and skill could make it. Lord Algy had rehearsed and rehearsed, until everybody was perfect and he was confident.

But behind the curtain there was anything but without. The Rom- The seats of the theatre were filled as soon as the hour came, and there was rustling of silks and satins and gleaming of diamonds and other precious stones as the. _xnerry assem- with an accidentâ€"had fallen and I0 sptalned his ankle that he had to be carried to his room, from which the doctor had said he must. not be re- moved for at least two day:. and perhaps longer. Lord Algy was in despair, and such of the actors as had come from their dressingâ€"rooms joined him in a chorus of lamentation. “Are you sure?" demanded Lord Algy, with an air of wildness that made everybody fancy that some great catastrophe had come to cap the recent one. “Hadn't be any under-study?" asked Guy, ruetully. Everybody turned as he spoke, and an involuntary murmur of admira- tion broke out. Surely no one had ever seen a more perfect Juliet. The costumer had been faithful to Sir Sir Richard's order to spare no ex- pense to make the dress a. marvel of elegance and taste, and no one could have fitted into the part better than the dark-eyed beauty who stood there now with a supreme uncon- sciousness 01 her extraordinary bril- liuncy. “Go on with the first play," shout- ed Lord Algy. after one more doubt- ful glance at, Simmons, who remained magnificently unmoved. “Constance I'll get. a. Romeo for you who will make you play your very best. Pro- vidence has come to the rescue glor- iously! I'll give you a guinea if you are right, Simmons. “No; buâ€"t- the Romeo has taken to his bed with a sprained ankle," an- swered Lady Gladys. Simmons lowered his voice and said something which no one else could hear. _Simmons moved his lips with an air that left no doubt. of his being in the suprcmest. state of‘ ceriaipty. “0! course not," answered Lord Algy. with just. a suspicion of vcxn- tion. “Who ever heard of an under- study in amateur theatricals? Where’s your cousinâ€"where is Con- stance? Perhaps she can suggest something." Lady Gladys looked her apprecia- tion of the seriousness of the news, but said nothing; {or the first thought that had flashed through her mind had been. “Then she can't play," "'01), here is Constance. now." cricd Lord A18)“ “What’s the matter?" inquired Lady Gladys, coming forward at this moment. looking very charming. as she knew very well. "Manvillc has sprained his ankle and can't move out of his room," answered Guy. “What's the matter?" she smiling- ly inquired. “Has the leader of the band disappeared?” “Really?" queriéa Maida, with an involuntary sense of relief. “You know 'I don't: like to be in« terrupted at. such times, Simmons. What do you want?’_’ “It'll break my heart to have to give it up at the last moment," ex- claimed Lord Algy, as he saw the failure of his mute appeal. “What is it Simmons?" he demanded of hi.» valet in no very pleasant tones, as he saw that gentlemanly servant trying to attract his attention. "Just a word, sir, it you please." “If it's anything about the ar- rangements outside. I don't want to hear a word. Go to the Duke." “It isn't that your lordship." Lord Algy went crossly over to him. and said, shortly: Simmons smiled as if he already had the guinea in his hand. and Lord Algy hurried away from the stage to the upper part of the Castle. About half an hour earlier a car- riage had driven up to the door. and from it had alightcd Caryl Wilton. “It is the cold truth," said Lord Algy. “and I don't for the life of me know what to do. No one is pre- pared to take the part, unlessâ€"oh, Guy, couldn't you do it somohmx Even if you balked it would be bet- ter than doing nothing. “Not, for wBrlds," Erica Guy with so much feeling that Lord Algy was almost moved to smile. IIe glanced carelessly at the gleam- ing windows, and then walked up in- to the brilliantly lighted hall. A iootman who did not know him step- ped up to him with a glance of sur- prise at his travel-stained figure, and held out his hand for the ticket of admittance which Lord Algy had issued in regular form. Lord Algy looked into every male {ace gathered around him with an appealing glance, but though there was not one there who would not have been delighted to have had the part, there was not one who did not realize how difl‘icult it was under the best of circumstances. and how wellâ€" nigh impossible it would be to walk through the part without having learned the lines. Caryl looked at him coolly and asked: “Well, what is it?" “Ticket, if you please." Caryl turned to his, valet and bade him discover what. it. was all about. adding, as he saw the Duke's butler coming toward him. “Oh, Mn. Wilton! His grace will be delighted. Amachure theatricals, sir. and very fine, sir, it I may guess." I A n ,â€" “Oh‘: here's Dawkins. Dawkins what. is the matter here? What does the demand for tickets mean?" 0 ° ‘Amuteur theatricals!

Gi'n me anything at. all to eat, and let. me go to sleep. I'll be around early in the morning and nobody need know I came to-night. as I surely would not have done had I suspected that I was to run into such an abomination as amateur theatricals.

When Mrs. Parker appeared in his room a few minutes later he greeted her in that way of his which was so easy and condescending. and yet for- bade any approach of familiarity: It was evident enough that Mr. Caryl Wilton was a person of con- sideration in the house of the Duke of Beldaire. And, indeed, he was in most houses in England, for he was not merely the possessor of a great fortune, but of a name that ranked second to none in the matters of age and honor. It was a name which had refused to take a. title. “A bad time to come. Mrs. Parker; but, I am here now and cannot get, away, so you must do the best. you can for me." “No. I suppose not," groaned Caryl. “except for the actors and the scenery. and the properties. 011.

The King of England may not leave the confines of the Empire without being accompanied by a Minister of State. The existence of the State itself might well depend on instant action. for instance. an army of invasion might suddenly ap- pear oil the coast of England. in which case it would be necessary to call out the militia. This could not be done legally without the signa- ture of the King. Therefore it is provided that a responsible Minister of State shall accompany the King wherever he may go. to present emergency Acts of Parliament to him for signature.

Parnell. for instunce, had encounter- ed Lord Salisbury in private life he would have required n iormel in- troduction to the Prentier. {or the“ two great political leaders never met! Difficult as the fact is to be- lieve it is undoubtedly true. For sixteen years Mr. Parnell was a con- spicuous member of the House oi Commons. Yet during the whole of that time Lord Salisbury not only did not speak to him, but never once saw him! We have the states- man's own words for this. given in a public speech a little while before the Irish lender died. The fact in one of the most remarkable in the history of public life. The Duke of Wellington never saw zxapoleon. lle opposed him at the 'head of the British army for six fyears, but never met his great an- tagonist. Even at Waterloo the bat- tle was lost and won without the .leaders of the strife once coming close enough to see one another. Public life is full of mysteries of a kind similar to these. What. nine. ty-nine people out of a hundred conâ€" sider must have inevitably happened. in a surprising number of causes nev- er happened at all! Is it easily cre- (lible. for instance. that the late Lord Randolph Churchill until late in life had not only never read a word of Shakespeare. but had never seen one of that dramatist’s plays acted. Ultimately he saw Henry Ir- ving play Hamlet in Dublin. As the wad fortunes of Ophelia. unfolded ftlic-mselv'es the famous statesman muttered. "Hear me. this its very sad ;" and when the play was over he went round to the actor's dress- ing-room to thank him for a new pleasure.

Most of us have the idea that at least the majority of our public and eminent men are personally known to one another. We take this quit. for granted when the notabilitiel are occupied with similar life inter- ests and follow their pursuits al- most side by side. To give one more strange case from the world of politics. Lord Salisbury has never spoken to Ilr. John Morley. This silence. of courso met only once. and on that occasion neither knew the other. They had encountered one another quite by chance in Lord Bathurst's waiting- room, and there entered into ensue! conversation.
