bw advice. By Grace Of Gladys. By CARL WILLIAMS. 1908, by Associated Literary Press. Copyrighted, She was the child star, the youthful prodigy of the Little Gladys Dramatic company. What made it worse, her doting papa was the manager of the show, which played a repertory for a week in the smaller towns, always dramas In which the small star could shine to advantage. As a stage attraction the child was a wonder. She could play little girls who, like all the good, die young, and she also played rough soubrette parts with a dash that made more important managers wish that there were no children’s societies in the large cities to prevent her appearance in the big theaters. Her father, Joe Glidden, had tried the cities, but after half a season he reorganized his old company and took to the small towns, where the child was a favorite and where children's societies were unknown. There, among old friends, he felt safe once more. He swaggered about as he had done before he knew what it was to regard every stranger approaching the box office as a possible police offi- cer in plain clothes, Gladys, as though to make up for lost time, became more incorrigible than ever. Versatility, her precious dramatic gift, she displayed only on the stage. The members of her father’s company never were treated to any private dis- plays of the angel children that Gladys played to perfection on the stage. In private life the child was steadily and consistently a torment. Jack Trent and Elvia Mordant, of her patient sup- port, were her especial victims. Gladys’ sharp eyes had discovered the birth of love even before Elvia was certain of her own feelings and announced that fact to the rest of the company at supper that evening. Her shrill, piping voice, trained to fill a heater, reached to every corner of the room, and the gleeful statement “Miss Mordant is awfuily gone on Ti Trent” set the room in a roar. ith flaming face Elvia sprang to feet and rushed from the room, the laughter of the company and the ther guests ringing in her ears long fter she had reached her room. lding tears stained her pillow, but she was at last certain that she did love Trent, and, had he only known, he had cause to be grateful te the youngster. Instead he savagely sug- gested to Joe Glidden that a good spanking would be the salvation of the child. slidden knew better than to take the Once, and once only, had Gladys been spanked. It had hap- pened on a Sunday, and business was | bad all the following week, because | the child played abominably in spite | of all threats. Not until the promise | wis made that she should not be spanked any more did she appear a! her best again. Glidden only smiled indulgently at Trent's suggestion, but Gladys hated the man for it, and thereafter she se- lected Jack and Elvia as her special victims, It did not matter that on the trains they sat at opposite ends of the car. Gladys would discover Trent gazing intently into space and call attention to the fact that he could not keep his eyes off Elvia. The company laughed at her pert re marks, because they were selfishiy glad that Gladys found vent for her love of mischief that did not invoive themselves. Their laughter encouraged the chiid to fresh endeavors, and since the two victims would not provide her with material for jokes off the stage she formed the habit of guying their per formance on the stage. Jack and Elvia were cast for lovers roles, and it was disconcerting to hear a sibilant “Ah!” as their lips met in a stage caress. Only in the theater did they see each other now, so Gladys made those stage scenes moments of torture. Not for a moment did the child re lent, and her father only smiled indul- gently at Trent's protests and threats to leave. Engagements were not easy to be had in the middle of the season, and Glidden knew that Trent would not take chances with a mother to sup: port. He bad no wish to lose Trent, who was a clever man and worth double what he was getting, but there seemed small danger of his resigning, and it was not an easy matter to control! Gladys. No one read better than the child the true state of affairs, and she made the most of it. More than once Trent made up his mind to leave in the hope that Gladys might then leave Elvia in» peace, but Elvia would not hear of it By suggesting that he would leave ner to bear the brunt of the child's enmity she dissuaded him from his purpose. But the crisis was bound to come. Gladys, with a sense of false security. passed all limit. The favorite play with the public was one of her “angel” parts, and the “big scene” in the last act showed the child at her mother's knee praying that her father, who had been estranged, might return. He is lurking behind the curtains Wah © madly jealous and waiting to kill his wife when the child is put to bed. The nalve plea wins him to a belief fn his wife's innocence, ' It was Saturday night, and the litte theater was packed to the doors. I} vin and Jack had both been accorind tuinultuous welcome, and this rousea’ the child's professional jealousy. She was unusually quiet when off the stage, aud Trent wondered at her meekness. Just when the big scene was progressing finely and the petition from the child was being read as Gladys never read it before it hap- pened. . In her white nightdress, with her golden curls framing her earnest baby face, she was an appealing little fig- ure, and as she made her plea that her father might return even men in the audience furtively dried their tears. “And bring him back and make him good to mamma and me again,” plead- ed the child. Trent roused himself ready for the spring that should bring him to the center of the stage, his arms round the mother and child, bat her next lines were not read. Instead she said slowly and deliberately: “And please let Mr, Trent marry Miss Mordant so they'll stop being spoony -- and — and bring my papa back.” “Papa” came with a premptness that startled Gladys. Jack knew that the salvation of the scene was to get the curtain down before the audience real- ized the interpolation and laughed, so with an improvised line he led right into the cue which was the signal for the drop to descend. But even as the curtain fell there rose a titter that deepened into a laugh, and through the canvas came shout of merriment as the audience caught the point. Elvia and Jack were 80 popular that the audience under stood the allusion. : As the glitter of the footlights was shut out by the curtain the arm that held Gladys for the stage picture tightened, and, though she struggled to escape, Trent held her fast. A mo- ment later he was administering n spanking that lost nothing through iis long delay. The entire company crowded on th stage and applauded him to fresh ¢f- forts, and it was several minutes be fore even Glidden interfered. He soothed the child even while he thanked Jack with his eyes for doing what he dared not, and at last her mother led her off, still shrieking, to the dressing room. Glidden turned to Jack. “I don’t blame you. She deserved it,” he said briefly. “All the same, | cannot keep you in the company auy longer or Gladys will queer the show.” “I know that,” was Trent's even re- ply. “It was worth it, though. I sup- pose that I can get a chance some- where after awhile.” Glidden caught his arm. “Don’t be in such a hurry,” he ad- monished. “I was going to suggest that you and Miss Mordant are favor: ites over this route. Suppose that | send you out at the head of your own show. It would be a money maker. and you can have a bit of the profits.” “I'll see Miss Mordant,” promised Trent rejoicingly as he hurried toward her dressing room. He knew that she would be dressed by this time and | could talk to him. An hour later he tapped on Glidden's door at the hotel. Glidden was still un and answered in person. “It's all arranged.” said Trent brie” ly. “I'm rather grateful to Gladys.” “I should think you would be.” grunted Glidden, for he could read [0 Trent's eyes that a double question had been asked and answered. Gladys had not prayed in vain. “Quite So.” When the late Louise Chandler Mou! ton was in London in the late seven ties she noticed the servility, as a rule. of the shopkeepers. It is a comfort to be sure not to be bullied into buying things not really desired, but strong!y recommended by the tradesmen. in her volume of “Random Rambles” she recalls an incident in which the clerk’: tongue got away with him. “Quite so!" is a favorite formuia with the London shopkeeper, and thi: habit leads him sometimes into ridicu- lous blunders. For instance, I went one day into the shop of a London druggist, or chemist, as they say there. “1 want a toothbrush,” 1 said. “Quite so, madam!” “And some smelling salts—strong.” “Quite so!” “Oh, and ink. Have you good black ink?” “Quite so!” Presently my parcels were put up, and I began to count out the pay #or them. My Yankee arithmetic was scarcely equal to the shillings and six- pences, not to say farthings, of this unaccustomed currency, and 1 said: “I am awkward with your money.” “Quite =o, madam,” came the shop man’s reply with the accustomed sweet readiness, and it was only by the smile I could not repress that he was reminded of his unintentional discour- tesy. The Secret of Success. The motto of success was given in this tale, told at a banquet: A Swede among the miners in the west was noted for always striking pay dirt. His fellows thought that there must be some secret to the un usual success of the Swede and ques tioned him as to how he always suc. ceeded in finding the spot where the gold cropped out. “Vell, Ay don't know ef Ay can tel anytang ‘bout dat,” answered Ole. “Ay only know dat Ay yust keep on diggin’."—Milwaukee Free Press.
