Mrs. • Forster, from behind the seenes,•looked mid heard, and ground her small, white, even teeth. Herjealousy was like madmadness.But if she hated Erna for her looks, sha afterward hated ber . still more for her success in her part. The actress who had been displaced had never done so well. Not. that Erna was perfect in ail the little details of stagecraft; but' that she filled the role with life and reality. .And. more than all, that her voice seemed to east a spell on its hearers. Erna was an immediate sueoess; and Mr, Hutchins was torn between . the delight of that fact. and the 'misery of knowing what the effect bn bliss. If oys- ler wotiid be. "You have clone 'remarkably well," he said to Erna. ' `•You have had a. triumph, Miss Gur- ree," said the leading man, impressively. He had been an immediate victim to her beauty. The next time you make that last exit," cried Mrs. Forster, conning up, with flashing eyes, and addressing Erna, "don't try to get applause on it. I won't have my lines spoiled." The two men looked at each other in consternation. It was in this way that the leading lady began with each woman who seemed to be at all in her way. Erna turned her brown eyes calmly on Mrs. Forster, and answered, quietly: "I had no intention of spoiling your lines. I do not know how else I should get off the scene." "Then discover some way," cried the actress, angrily. "1 won't have my lines spoiled for any pet of the manager." "My dear _firs. Forster!" the manager began, deprecatingly, but she interrupted him contemptuously. "Nell, isn't she a pet? I wonder Mrs. Hutchins doesn't put a stop to his sort of thing." The vulgarity and viciousness of this speech. made even the long-suffering manager flush with anger. "Mrs. Forster, I will not permit such language," he said. "Won't you?" cried the furious actress. "What will you do about it?" Erna did not stop to listen to any more, but left, and went hastily to her dress- ing room, her cheeks burning and her 'ryes; ,flamifig with' indignation. Mrs. Hutchins siuestioned her, and Erna, after jotue slifils alt}, 'told her what had bee, said, adding:' "I am sorry; but it win be impossible for me to remain after this." But Mrs. Hutchins was up in arms. The same thing had happened before, and the manager had yielded his rights rather than enrage the virago. Mrs. Hutchins declared that it should not happen again. Mrs. Forster was under contract and must remain, or make a large forfeit. She urged this on the manager, and he, with a sinking heart, agreed that he would inform the actress. that she must behave herself. Erna, after much urg- ing, agreed to make one more trial. "You see" said the manager, "she is almost indispensable, but she can't be permitted to keep the company in hot water all the time. Site shan't treat you so again." "But she may refuse to act," returned Erna; "and I have no wish. to make you suffer for my sake." "She must act unless she is ill," said Mrs. Hutchins. "I will see her the first thing in the morning," said the manager. So the following morning he went to see the leading lady. His wife and Erna waited for his return, the one with uneasiness, and the other with curiosity. His face was a study when the returned. "Well?" demanded his wife. "Well," he replied, "I don't know what to make of it. She was as gentle as she could be, and promised. everything I asked." "Then that is well settled," said Mrs. Hutchins. "I hope so," he said, rather dolefully. "Hope so?" she repeated. "Why, it is sol" "My dear," he said, "it isn't natural.

It was morning when the great sea- port town was reached, and Erne. took a cab for a hotel, the name of which was on a card she kept for referenoe. It was the Maritime Hotel, a respect- able, middle class house, the mere though of which would have given a chill of horror to the members Of that world which Erna had turned her back upon forever. Later in the day, Erna ordered a cab and gave this direction to the driver: "Globe Theatre, back door!" The man gave her a quick glance of inquiry, which Erna bore with equan- imity, having wit enough to compre- hend that she was taken for an ac- tress, and therefore a fit object of curi- osity. At the theatre she told the man to wait. She asked for Mr, Hutchins, and was requested to send in her card. She wrote on a piece of paper which was handed to her, "Margaret Haddon," and the man took it away. She wrote the name without hesitation, which proved that she had already thought of it. When the doorkeeper returned, he re- quested her to "step this way," which she did, and, after endangering the in- tegrity of her limbs, was ushered into a rather dingy room, in which a gentleman and a lady were talking, The lady was verybeautifttl, but with something cruel in her dark eyes, and in her voice, which, at the moment Erna entered, was pitched somewhat high, and was uttering words of unmistakable meaning. "I tell you.
