Was @ brasa-bound box that played a very important part in the play. This box I hai instructed the property inan to put on a side- board during the second act. He evidently forgot, aud the result was the characters | were talking of and pointing at @ box that Wasn't there. Desirous of making up for the omission, he foes tue box on @ table in the very Center of the stage during the third act, and the audience fou ad two of the characters Seated al this table, offering untold wealth for the recovery of the box that lay belween them. The auliexce enj»yed this scene, which I meant to be very dramatic, hugely. But this act was nothing to tae fourth act. Here the villain had to cast the box into the j river that ran before him, and then tarow the | heroine of the play after it. Of course, the real heroine sank down on a float, and the villain threw a dummy into the boiling waters. Toe property man triel to outdo himself on this my. had evidently mrasured the mater.al right; bat stuffed it So full that he streiched it to @ perfect colos- sus, arms outstretcied, even the fi igers being so stiff that nothiog could bring the: down to @ reasonable resemblance to a human being. Whe the seene with the dummy came it towered some two feet above the bead of the murderous villaia, but he tackled it valiantly, and, after a deathly struggle, cast ii into tbe raging waters. But be Unrew it 100 far; it stuck on @ set piece aud remained there, arms outstretched, and fingers rigid with stuffig, walle the whole audience burst into @ roar of painful morri- ment. When the villain obeyed bis cue and Fpok e of baving “hidden her forever beneath i3th st. nw | @ the swiftrunning river,” the unfortunate dummy still stuck in the same positioa, and ancther shout went up from the house..
