LAKFLAND, FLA, JULY I3, g8, NMAAMMNAAVNA WMWY AME 0L SPELL It Came Over the Girl at the Proper Time as It Al- ways Has. By J. V. SYMONS, “Lucia, dear, I have some news for you,” said little Miss Brett, taking her by both hands in her dressing room in the Imperial theater. “I am going to leave the stage.” “You, my dear! Why—why Prescott told me himself that he means to give you the star part in ‘Under Two Flags’ next month. You can’t mean it, you who have won fame almost in a night.” “But that doesn't mean anything to me now,” answered the girl, smiling. “You see,” she added in a lower voice, “l am engaged to be married.” Luciag Clay kissed her warmly and chatted for quite five minutes, which was a big slice out of a busy woman’s life. Then she watched her go down the draughty corrider and sank back into her chair and wept bitterly. People would have been astonished if they could have seen Lucia crying. She was one of the big discoveries of the past two years. But she had worked hard for her success. Ten years of barren poverty and unpro- ductive labor lay behind her. Cold as fice, they called her. HEven in stage- land, that prolific center of gossip, her name had never been associated with that of any man. And yet she had temperament, she was superb in emo- tional parts. She seemed to have lived through and lived down some- thing, so that the fires now glowed where formerly they had blazed, and under an exterior that was faultlessly serene. “There must have been big experi ences in Miss Clay's life,” sald an old critic to his friend once. There had been, the biggest of all experiences, because the most univer- sal. She had been marricd and her honeymoon had lasted eleven days. They had been days of delirious happiness both for herself and for the young painter, Lawrence Murdoch. It 4l s e < “\ 2| \ 0 ") (il “The Curtain's Up, Miss Clay.” bad been almost a runaway match, except that neither had anybody to run from. He was a scene painter, and had once been spoken of as a com. fng man in his profession. Lucla was then just a stage-struck girl. She had played the ingenue's part in one or two productions creditably, and they possessed two hundred dollars ‘be- tween them. On the strength of this they were married. It was an old, eighteenth century cottage in which they had elected to spend their honeymooon. Lucia would remember every detail of it as long as she lived; the clematis over the door, the patch of everblooming roses, the perky sweet williams along the grav- olly walk. And their happiness had been Intense for eleven days. Then Lawrence went away. He left no letter, offered no explanation. But that he took his possessions with him, Lucia would have feared he ad met with foul play. She came home from an unsuccessful search for work to find the house empty. After a day and a night of agonized searching she discovered that he was staying at the house of a friend of his. She went there, fearless in her humility of love. The man refused her admittance. Lucia saw Lawrence at the window; their eyes met and he turned away. Then Lucla went home. It was long afterward that she learned the cause of her husband's abandonment. He had followed her to the theater, with the intention of meeting her and taking her to lunch. He had seen her in another man's arms. The other man was old Colonel Brett, a lifelong friend, of whom she had not told Lawrence during their three weeks’ engagement. Colonel Brett had been her father's comrade in the war and her guardian for a while; he had taken her father's place | after his death. He had accompanied his daughter to the theater when the stage-struck girl insisted on seeking a part and, meeting Lucia there, too, the old fellow had broken downm and cried. Ten years had passed since then. She had heard little of Lawrence. She would never explain, and if he had learned—but he could not have learned, or pride would never bave suffered the continuance of this hid-l s tragedy. s eo““’l‘he 2urtain's up, Miss Clay,” 8an- nounced the colored woman yvho as- gisted with the wardrobes. Miss Clay put the final touches to her makeup and joined the little group in the wings. It was a repertoire piece, one of those that are put on by the best companies at times, either during the dull season or for some special cause, such as to flll up an unexpected gap ! in the schedule. There had been only ltwo rehearsals, for the company had i played this often before, and the ‘acenery had been completed only that morning, the properties being lost somewhere in a tie-up in the middle west. Lucia walked on the stage. She heard the applause of the audience as an accustomed thing, she glanced in- difterently into the packed masses an'd bowed; and then she saw Lawrence 8 face, and he might have been her sole auditor, for everybody else was but a blur in the darkened auditorium. She had never seen him since they parted. Now he sat in the third row of the parquet, watching her. He was hardly changed, but someliow the look on his face told her that his soul was hers, and that across the intervening years their spirits would leap together if only pride permitted. She turned. And then, for the first time in her ex- perience, Lucia Clay forgot her lines. For on the canvas background was the little cottage of her memories. There was the clematis over the door, there were the everblooming roses and the sweet willlams. And then Lucla was back in fairyland with ber lover again. How she stumbled through her part she never knew. Once or twice, waking out of a sort of dream, she saw the other members of the company re- garding her with wonder. But when the curtain fell the last thing she saw was Lawrenoe'’s eyes looking into her own, and the old spell was on her, and she hurried to her dressing room, avoiding the anxious questions of her friends. She knew that an influence stronger than either of them had ta- ken possession of them and had hum- bled their pride and enunciated the ancient law that marriage should last as long as they two should live. i l She found him at the stage door, and because there was nothing to be said she took him by the arm and led him back upon the darkened stage. And there, by the feeble glimmer of ]the gas jets in the wings, they stood togethter before the little cottage and their vows were plighted. “Mr, Prescott, 1 have some news for | you,” said Miss Clay that evening. “1! am going to leave the stage.” I “You, Miss Clay! Why—why, you! can't mean it, you who have won a pational reputation. We have looked forward to still greater triumphs for “But that doesn't mean anything to me now,” answered Miss Clay, smiling. “You see—I am engaged to be mar rled.” (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) WOODEN LEG WON A HUSBAND Happy Man 8o Satisfied With Previous Ventures That He Made a De termination to Stick, Augustus Hare used to relate how a certain lady was wooed and won for the sake of her cork leg. I One day, not long after her marriage, she was, during her husband's tem- porary absence, urged by curiosity to open a wardrobe that had always been kept religiously fastened, and found therein, to her terror, two wooden legs, each of which was labeled with the aame of a lady, carefully put away on one of the shelves. Filled with dismay, she sought some mutual acquaintance, to whom she con- fided her gruesome discovery, only to be assured that, although the false limbs were indeed those of her hus- band's two former wives, there was no cause for alarm, for her husband, who had originally wedded a one-legged lady, had been so happy in his mar- riage that, on her death, he had vowed never to mate again save with a wife similarly circumstanced, A short while afterward he met a lady who fulfilled the required stipula- tion. Her he courted and won. His | second venture, even more felicitious | than the first, had caused him, on his l beloved partner's decease, to renew his former vow, the outcome of which was ' his present happy union. This expla- | tion calmed the wite's alarm, for she | now recognized that the wooden legs were not only mementoes of past but guarantees of future bappiness.—Lon- don Tit-Bits. Who Owns Boy's Trousers? To whom do a boy's trousers be- long—to the boy himself or to his father? This momentous question was debated at a London county | court, when a new trial of an action was asked for. While playing foot- ball in the street the boy concerned ran against a tin bex outside a trades. man's shop, and tore his trousers. His father put in a claim for the value of the trousers, and the registrar al. | lowed $1.25. The tradesman's coun- sel argued that the boy had no right to sue at all, as the trousers rullyi belonged to his father, he being an | infant. “Of course, the father could | not steal them,” remarked the Judge. | “It 18 clear they belong to the father, " ! replied the counsel. “Whether the | father could take them off or not, 1! -wm not say,” observed the Judge | ':n ::::‘L has a prior right over hl;z ers,” repeated coun | Judge refused the Appliutblfi:h :l new trial R In accord with the eternal fitness things, & man with rarrow .hq.u.:l ought t» wear & brosdcloth eoat, I BARTOW S e W.
