everything connected with the entertain
ment.: • :.
As the music ceased; the gatidy curtain
rolled up and revealed 't i• brilliantly s
stage scene—brilliant with -papier mache
and tinsel and the many make believes of
the mimic world.
There was a .crowded - house, and"the
mixed assemblage gave good opportunity
for the study of types. But among' 7110
Hundreds were just two of whom I want
to ' tell you.. .
Mims was first violin in the Frivolity
orchestra. There was a' tradition to .the
effect , that his• name ' had once been
Mimes, but because some one had said
that he was "mimsey looking" the name
bad forthwith been contracted as above,
' Mims was.200 years .old..Pet'haps you
think I do' not mean this, but let us see,
Mims was a Street boy. The urchin's
earliest recollections were of -the crowd-
ed thoroughfares about- Drury lane; of
his terror of the big policeman and of
cold and hunger.; His father was' a. thief
—bis ;mother as .bad, His father's father
-died upon' the gallows, while his maternal
grandfather had. taken up his •permanent
residence at . a convict prison I • have
'not troubled to trace his genealogical tree
further, but make no doubt that -I --should
find that for 200 years the heredity and
.enviironment'had been such as to concen-
trate and culminate in poor ,little Mims
every wicked 'and wretched . trait to
which humanity is subject. • •
. His face' told you all'this. it Was.the
face of a little old man, and it had been'
no, always.,;. 1. cannot think.that .Mims
had ever. been a baby, soft and dimpled
end .playful. It is not in nature that a
baby should have .-grown into such an
effigy. of manhood."
Mims had not .been long in this world
before he bad •assimilated perfectly all
the .knowledge of -good and; evil which his
progenitors had' been indeetriously serif
mutating: for. him througb.;so many. gen=
erations,.,and it does• not- require: much'
perspicuity to guess in which branch of
this knowledge he had the greater inkier-
ltance.. "
Now, you may think, from. this that:
Mims was pretty bad,.but; 6e was not.
because he possessed, one saving glace.
•One day While he, was yet a small .lad
Mims heard a band playing in. the street.
possibly he had heard music before, but
only with. the outer ear. It had never
reached and touched that micro -Organism.
which we term the soul., • ' •
Mims followed: the band a. long way.
The band.marc'bed fast, and poor Mims'.
little feet grew - very , tired,, until they
Would, carry him . no, farther. • Then he'
sat down upon the curb. and cried.•
But he arose from the .curb. with the
seeds Of.ambitien firmly implanted with
in him.. H'e'woyld be a. musician,
Henceforth' :: Minns sold ' papers 'and
blacked hoots,, More .industriously' than
ever and hoarded his pennies with all the'
greed of a miser. - When he finally count-
ed them - and found there were enough to
buy a fife, it: wits the consurnmation of
the first :step •in his career.".Prom '.that
on he ascended by regular - stages, the
Snit of which was hanging about an..
East . End concert hali arid cultivating
the acquaintance of the musicians• there,
and the last of which was first violin al'
the.b'rivolity. • . •
'When the overture was oyer and 'the.
curtain lifted, Mims leaned back in ' his
chair, closed" his eyes and kept only wide
awake enough to know when any musical
accompaniment lvas needed. That part
of the show did not interest . him. No
matter.how many pretty girls were: wav-
ing' Weir shapely feet above the foot-
lights, Mims thought It very foolish that
the audience should prefer that to the
numbers of the orchestra: rte. .
But he' was. not permitted to rest lag
to ,peace.:: There was a roar from the
audience, half of 'applause 'and hall of
derision, and be opened his.eyes to look
'I'na>; mot the Ares MVO Ala another
strange thing for an orchestra player. He
went to the stage door and waited for
Nellie to coma. out. There was a group
of men about waiting for a chauee to ogle
the fayorlte, or perhaps invite her to a
little supper in some nearby cozy retreat,`
and among them. Mims saw,tho one who•.
had thrown the flowers. As Nonie came
out this man hurried forward and spoke
to her. The girl hesitated, stopped and
listened, then, with a slow and half un-
certain negative, went on past him to her
omnibus..
The fellow made as if to follow, but,
looking about, he saw. Mims' eyes fixed.
upon him. Beneath tile street light they
glittered like beads of, fire and seemed
uncanny from the setting of his queer,
pale race. The man shrugged his ehoul•
dens and walked away in the other direr.
tion.
The next night, when 'Ionia was Sing-
ing, a heavy flower piece was sent down
o to the stage—an unusual thing at the
Frivolity, where matters of that sort
Were not much indulged in. It so hap-
pend that it came down where Mims
was, and be had to help lift it over the
stage rail. As he did so he saw a note
lying among the flowers, and with a dex-
terous fillip he managed to throw It out
so that It fell beneath . his , chair. • ' HCS
knew instinctively who had sent it, yet
to confirm his suspicion he turned and
looked about the house.
to ' As he had thought, the same fellow
e• was again standing to catch Nonie's
glance of acknowledgment, but Nonie's
r • glance was fixed instead upon the first
violin. and - the' blue' eyes allot. out fiery
darts as •Mims deliberately stooped, pick-
ed up the note and placed it in his pocket.
Upon the following night Nonie thought
et -to have her revenge, so •she began by
singing and making eyes. at the Byronic
youth_ with the bass viol and utterly igs
nored Mims' presence. But she had
reckoned 'without her host, for the 'au-
d enc would ha n . They had
become so accustomed to having the first
violin• as the silent partner in this little
byplay that they would brook no change.
And. then the contrast between the Inc
. of this old young ' gamin and 'the rosy
cheeks' aid sparkling eyes of the'girl lent
a picturesque effectiveness to the scene
that nothing else could.. So the people
began to hiss and • howl and hoot to show
their disapproval, while cries of :"Mims!'
Mimsl The first violin!" gave added in-
terpretation to their. meaning.
The girl stopped, bewildered at the out-
burst, and at first did not reali3e the
cause. But when shedid her eyes flash-
ed angrily, and she went on, insistently
ignoring their 'displeasure and trying to
drown the tumult with her own voice
• and. to charm them into good' nature with
her pretty. ways.
