In the opposite corner her aged father sat, filling his pipe. It was a kitchen scene. The comeâ€" diang had retired, and the action had gradually worked up to the crash of the climax. The next act evoked more interest. One or two of the more witty lines got a ‘hand." Bealo sighed with relief; but Jack still harboured doubts, and big ones, too. "Go all out in the big scene, Myrile," whispered Jack, as the girl brushed past him on the avay to her dressingâ€" room. "If we don‘t hit ‘em then, I‘m afraid the play‘s doomed!" Myrtle smiled, "Rely on me," she said. "It‘ll be all right, Dundasâ€"in the last act," murmured Beale, patting him on the back and trying to smile. But his face showed strain.

She looked up at Jack suddenly with her clear eyes, the exactâ€" blueyâ€"violet of hyacinths: "A dog‘s a great pal!" "Nâ€"none better!" stammered Jack, momentarily knocked out by the batâ€" tery of those ctear eyes. "By Jove," he thought, "if I can‘t make a love scene get across with a girl like that, I ought to be shot!" | | Rehearsals began, but, as they proâ€" | gressed, Jack‘s heart sank There was |no "pep" in the play.

Jack‘s speech, which ought to have raised a torrent, was eceijved with Fit mild enthusiasm. The villain, thwartâ€" ed, clenched his fists. Then, with a snarl, he flung himself at Jack. A scream broke from the girl. It was a very homely drama; a little too homely as one or two stiflied yawns, caught from the auditorium, testified.
