The druggist had been fairly suc- cessful and had provided for his daughter, in addition to the drug stors and the home, a small income There was nothing now to prevent | the girl from realizing her dream | She sold the drug store and came to New York to study the art of the theatre. This was her last| year in the dramatic school. She planned to go into a stock company somewhere, after her graduation in the spring. Many times that evening An'l)l\zo! was on the verge of pleading his love. We can imagine how he Jonged to tell her why, in the eyes of Orchard Hill, he had disgraced himself and caused his parents such heartaches; why he had work- ed so hard to win a place on the| stage. But he could not—he dared | not speak of love. Old Tony sa: “Her spirit held me ots. Tf you had | known Harriet Noel as I knew her,” he always adds, “you would understand what I mean.” The old actor's analysis of Har- riet Noel's character is probably the best: “When I speak of Harriet Noel's ‘spirit I do mot mean that she was one of those asthenic fe-| males who are so often found among the devotees of esthetics. And she was as far from being a saint. She was the most human, vital, flesh and blood woman imag- | inable. And yet, there was a saint- like quality which compelled one to feel one’s self in the presence of a woman who had set herself apart to some holy cause. “She had, literally, given heérSelf s0_ without re: e to her chosep art that she was capable of making any sacrifice for it.

He had never liked Donovan, but he had not seen the fellow for several years and, well, he, Antonio Latour, | would be the leading man and| Harriet Noel the leading lady; that | was all that mattered. Their names would appear together on the bill- boards, in the newspapers, on the programs—everywhere it would be Latour and Harriet Noel In that which meant so much more to him than his career on the (Copyright, 1930, by D.
