and suave as usual as 11e said in
toue of pleasant surprise;
"Ah, is that you, Mecca?"
"Yes, it's me. I—I want to spea

Aro you offended because I (lido'

"Nol" replied Bocce.
"Well, I'm glad of that, because i

Bocce. We don't leant all the world

Becca looked at slim with a mix-

-taco was pale, and her eyes were
swollen with crying, but there was
an expression of determluatinn f1
them which Guildford. Berton. did 1101
fail to notice,
"What is it you want to say to
me, Becca?" he asked 01101 a mom -
wit's pause, during which he wits
wondering how he could get rid of
her.
"I want to speak to you, to ask
you a question."

Then the door closed with a clang
which should have found an anslwe:•-

He leer the way to the house, ane
struck n match.
"Sit down, Berea," he said, an

did so,

seated himself at the table near her,

AT THE DIAMOND JUBILEE
IRVING ENTERTAINED THE
SOLDIERS.
Played "Waterloo" to an Audi-
ence Prom Al2, Over the
Empire,. -
Ono of the most memorable of the
many special performances of the
late Sir Henry Irving was that
Which took place at the time of the
!Diamond Jubilee of her late 1(1a-
jesty, says a writer in the 1St.
James' Cazotto. Irving had invited
the officers of all the colonial con-
tingents then in London to visit the
Lyceum. The Invitations we1•e eag-
erly accepted, and from floor to coil-
ing the theatre was crowded with
hardy colonials, bearded Sikhs,
sturdy Ghoorkhas, black soldiers
from the Cold Coast, yellow men
from China, and representatives
from every one of the outposts of
the Empire. Tile brilliancy and va-
riety of the uniforms made a picture
of fascinating interest. Mr. Toole
looked on the scone with delight in
his eyes, and Miss Ellen Perry occu-
pied a box and was cheered and
cheered again when the audience
knew of her presence. Irving - 110.1
selected for his programme "Tho
Bolls" and "The Story of Water-
loo."
The scene that followed the death
of Corporal Brewster, closing the
performance, NOS 0110 8u011 CIS 1108
SO dol, if ever, been equalled. The
whole audience rose and a roar of
enthusiastic cheering swept through
the building, swords were drawn and
waved in the air, and amid it all
Sir 1Ien;y stood.—a striking figure—
bowing his acknowledgements. When
after the lapse of minutes, silence
was obtained, he delivered a short
speech. Addressing those ie front
as "comrades," he spoke of the
Queen, of the Bemire, and of their
loyally. Por a few moments the
audience hong on his wards, but the
excitement was too great for silence.
.A. murmur of applause suddenly
swelled into another roar, and no
other words were spoken. Sir Hen-
ry was deeply moved, avid could only
repeatedly wave his hand In thanks.
Cheering again and agate, 111'3 re-
markable audience gradually dwind-
led away, to carry the memory of
the occasion to every quarter of the
world.
LAST TIMI? IN LONDON.
Sir Henry )wing's last appcararlcee
n a theatre in London was of tie
light of the temporary removal of
'Oliver Twist" from his Majesty's
o the Waldorf. Towards the end of
the evening he entered a private hos
n 3.110 left of the stage to look up -
n the triumph of Mr. Tree in over-
oning all the obstacles that had so
llexpect0(ly confronted him. When
the play was over, Sir Henry stood
or 510100 momenta, the most pie-
uresque of figures, his silver heir
till uncovered. It seemed to some
l us thein that he looked a man
who was not long for this world,
lit how little did we expect so
non to have to mourn hts loss.
One other occasion on which 1
a1v Sir Henry may also ho recalled,

PAli't PLAT*,
There was it very decided frown
on Larry '1'1loepo's (010 05 110 (110011
111 17001 of the 11,,1, staring' at the
picture of 1118 grandfather un the (11-
pusile wall, Ile tried to enmesh it
out when 110 heard a 810p In 1110 113411
and a ]sand laid on the door -knob;
but the attempt was net a very sue-
ccsnfid 0110, 8o 111111. Aunt Harriet,
after a single glance from her bright
eyes, ennead without eereinuny:
"What is the platter?"
"Oil, nothing," said Larry, in a
tole that would indicate the loss of
all the good thing's of life.
"I thought," said Aunt Harriet,
"that you seemed just a mita cross..
But I must have been mistaken."
"Well, 1 am," Larry burst out,
"and I think I have a right to he.
I don't see why Worth can't take a.
little trouble nolo and thele. Most
girls do for their brothers."
"Doesn't Worth?"
La1.ry did 11011 800 110 1.0 regard this
question.
"I wanted to have some of the
boys around 0-111001'011/ night, to
give Charley Ritter a little send -
0
1I. Ito f8 going'
away 1110 next day
1 talked to Worth about ft, incl sho
made as much fuss as if I hail asked
for the moon. Of course she'd have
to make a cake, and cru a fete other
things; but I t111211; she might put
herself out far me a little. I told
her so, too,"
"What did sho say?"
"Wby, she flared up and talker]
back, the way girls rlo. Why can't
they see how weak that 'you're an.
other' kind of eloquence is? She
asked mb why I oughtn't to put my-
self out for her sometimes, and a
lot of such things." •
"That doesn't strike 1110 as so
weak," said Aunt llarriet.
Larry looked at her doubtfully. 1:Io
and she were great friends.
"Girls ought to be willing to help
their brothers" he said.
"Of course," agreed his Aunt
Harriet, promptly: Larry was reas-
sured.
"When do I ever look black at
Worth. When she asks some little
favor of lee?"
"When did she ask you last?"
Larry tried to think, then had to
content himself with saying, 5on10-
what vaguely;
"But we aro more dependent on
the things that girls can do,"
"You wean that you boys have an
idea that girls should be servants.
When you want a cake you ask for it
and fool abused if there is any hitch
about it. When Worth wants an
escort to take her to see somebody
at night, she treads as softly as if
011 egg shells; and, if she has to
stay at home, nobody is much sur-
prised."
Larry looked guilty,
"Worth must sow on missing but-
tons, and make a copy of a stylish
necktie and pick up odds and ends
all over the house, and she must oto
it in good Reason. But when she
wants a picture hung or a little
hammering done, after x811111ne and
wafting, she climbs the step -ladder
and does it herself in spite of the
fact that 'a girl never knows how
to <li ive a nail.' And all the stray
errands, dear, where do they fall?
Don't you honestly think that Worth
sloes more than her half? Even I
find myself inclined to 'favor'• the
boy, as a horse does its lame leg."
When Aunt Harriet went upstairs,
Larry continued to stand on the rug
41114 to look at his grandfather with
0 frown, But It was a different
frown.
"Well, if I am really a lame leg in
the family.. 1 don't mind owning to
you—(to his grataclfather)—that I
do hanker considerably after boieg
all-round good."
As usual, having thought matters
over, Worth carne round and an -
pounced that elle could manage the
"cake and a few• other things." And
as usual, Larry declared that she
was a "clear," and hugged her like
an amiable bear. Then tho domestic
skies were bright again. It was
after all this that the unusual bo -
gem to happen:•.--i'or, Larry's eyes
being opened, it was wonderful holy
clearly he saw. And, when Karry
saw, Ile acted.
It would be a long story to tell
Mary matters shifted in the Thropo
household.. Seiner) it to say that
now -a -days Larry has no need to
colupiain of any want of alacrity 111
Worth's sixterlhess. And, as for
Worth, she never tires of the con-
sicloratiou of Larry's merits.
"You are a dear!" she said to
111m the other day, "Brothers are
such Vice relations,"
"Iaspecially when they are recipl'o-
cal relations," said Larry.
