Several months later, when, quite by chance, Antorio Latour received U|the news, Harriet and her little |son were with a company playing | a week's engagement in Cleveland. Cleveland is not far from Orchard Hill, and that ovening Antonio was in the audience of the play in which Harriet and her son would appear. With the news that Harriet was free his love had kindled anew and he had hurried to her. There might still remain for them many years of happine: he told himself, still believing her love for him. In the first act, Harriet and lit- in Canill, of heme in June 18. Il tle Pierre would be on together. In the second act, the boy would come on again without his mother. An- tonio decided not to make his pre: ence in the theatre known to Har- riet until after the first act. He felt he could better control his| emotions if he had first seen her and her son together on the stage As he sat there in that Cleveland theatre, waiting for the -curtain, Antonio Lautor felt that he wa only playing a part. He felt th the audience was watching him, and that the play which would follow the rise of that curtair would be only a play within this larger play in which he and Har riet were acting the leading roles. When the curtain went up An- tonio Latour sat like one in trance, his mind on those unhap- py events which had brought his stage career to such an untimely end. Then Harriett made her en- trance, and the actor in the audi- ence caught his breath in a dry sob. | “To me,” Old Tony says when he speaks of that evening, “Har riett was more beautiful than eves she was more than ever an actres: but there was something wanting. In the vernacuar of the stage, Har- riett did not go over as she had in the beginning years of her stage career; she kindled no responsive glow in the hearts of the people. Then little Pierre entered and I understood. “I saw that Harriet had endowed the child with all the native grace and genius that had promised so much for her. Young as he was, Pierre had that same inner fire, the same uncanny power over his audience that his mother had pos- sessed. I remember thinking, not without sadness, that as Harriet had sacrificed our love for a stage career, she had now sacrificed her career for love of her son.” At the close of the first act, An- tonio went back stage and met Harriet and her son. During the second act Harriet stood in the wings watching the boy while the man who had loved her since child- Illll hood watched her. Without even speaking to Har- riet of his love, Antonio returned to Orchard Hill. (Copyright, 1930, by D.
