Of Gladys.

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

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.

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.

anytang ‘bout dat,” answered Ole.
