CYRANO COURTSHIP.
[The following story is based on the
celebrated play, "Cyrano de Bergerac,"
in which Mr. Richard Mansfield, the
actor, has been rezently creating a sen-
sation in New York. In the play CY-
rano, a man of brilliant intellect, but
handicapped by an enormous nose. wooes
his cousin Rexene, through a 'handsome

Phyllis began to laugh just as soon

conduct on her part Was as distinctly

"Cyrano" in Phyllis' company, and if

I received my first cruel blow

of Phyllisacquaintance who sat in
front of us. It was with difficulty that
Phyllis restrained the dimples from
open insurrection as she leplied,
"Well. they say it is only a little
step from the era line to the rislieu-
lous," she remarked with dancing eyes.
"and as I never in all my life saw any-
thing half so ridiculous as that nose I
suppose its wearer is at least approaeh-
ing subllrnity
"Phyllis." said 1 when the music
had given me half a, chance to speak
without the girl in front hearing all I
said. "don't you think it's possible for
the owner of a big nose to be anything
but ridiculous?"
Phyllis cast a znisehievorni ginner at
me over her shonlder and before mak-
ing answer buried her face in the big
bunch of violets I had given her,
"All thines are possible," she tben
rather cruelly said, "but I should think
it would be rather difficult for the owner
of a big nose to be anything else."
The kiss scene was beginning now,
so 1 had a bung not in which to recover
so much of my equanimity as I might.
When Roane had delivered her pas-
sionate exhortation to Cyrano to protect
her lover froro all the danger which
might threaten him at Arras, begin-
ning with award wounds and ending
with cold. and when she begged her
cousin to see that the wordless object
of her devotion wrote to her frequently.
Phyllis turned to me as the curtain fell.
and I could see there were tears in her
eyes. She acted as though she would
have said something. but did not. For
once I was wise enough to hold my
tongue and to leave all chance of assist-
ance for my cause to fate or providence
-and the girl in front of n1S. This girl
had been crying openly. and her eyes
were all red and moist still as she
squirmed about in her seat in order to
face Phyllis.
"Oh, Phyllis! Isn't it a pity such a
perfectly grand character should have
such an awful nose!" she exclaimed
weepingly. Phyllis regarded her with
an air of chilly contempt.
"What under the ever blessed canopy
does the kind of nose he has matter?"
she inquired loftily. "With a character
like Cyrano's features don't matter in
the least Who with any soul at all
would dream of considering or even
remembering his nose?"
The girl in front of us was properly
squelched. and I was unwisely elated.
"Who, indeed?" I murmured ac-
quiescently Phyllis stiffened immedi-

I didn't even come to her rescue when
she lost her handkerchief during the
course of the fourth act and was in dire
distress for another wherewith to wipe
away the tears consequent upon Rox-
ane's sorrow over her lover's death and
Cyrano's wounding. And she in turn
was strangely silent when we rose at
the conclusion of the last act and made
our way toward the street.
The crowd was great and we were
obliged to stand a few moments in the
foyer. Phyllis turned to me suddenly
with an apologetic touch upon my arm.
"I didn't mean what I said about -
about big noses," she said softlyand
picking shyly at my coat sleeve as she
spoke -"that is -not about an big

somewhat as the onward movement of

whose escort, soon to assume a nearer
relationship, if common report was to
be believed, boasted a nose modeled
something after the snub pattern. and
once more Phyllis sniffed.
"I could." her attitude vernal to
say as her friend kept on chattering
and laughing. and I took advantage of
the moment to slip tny band over hers,
as it bang at her side, the soft folds of
her pretty dress in its grasp. Phyllis'
own nose is a dainty little feature. but
it was elevated in a manner more de-
cided than graceful just then -another
fact from which 1 augured well. Nor
did she snatch her hand away. as I had
half expected her to do.
"Phyllis," 1 murmured again as we
reached the street and stood waiting
for the carriage. "do you think you
could love a man in spite of his big
nose, if he happened to have one?"
Phyllis looked a trifle scared. but the
good blood which made her soldier an-
cestors famous for their deeds of valor
made her brave and a trifle daring, so
she glanced up courageously to meet
my eyes.
"I -I think so." she whispered back,
trembling a little, but not shrinking
from my eager face in the least, and
cnce more I was emboldened to farther
risking of my fate.
"Phyllis." I said. whispering myself
now. "do you think you could love me?"
There was a moment's silence be-
tween us, and then I was helping Phyl-
lis into the carriage But she had tim-
idly murmured "Yes" in the interval,
