I must confess I would have greatly preferred being entirely out of the building at that particular moment, but thought it best to re- main quiet. I turned and looked at her, and whether I possessed the strange power she spoke of or not. I know she instantly became quiet under the look in my eyes and went on quite calmly with her confession. “We were making a tour of the states and everywhere we played, I had to divide the honors with my love although I was the star. A brilliant future was pre dicted for him, and even then, I had heard rumors that he was to leave our company aud go staring for himself. Of course if he left the company, he and that miserable wo man would marry and play together. Ob! thought of thing happening, came to me I thought it would kill mad then; pat Iam not now you pity me?
