As sho knew tho Bong thoroughly, she did not want any music sneet at all, so nho dispensed with It She looked straight at her audlenco and smiled at It. She smiled until the ghost of a frosty smllo began to dawn on some of tho facet of the highest-born and chilliest dowaeers there. It was a charming llttlo song, full of lunerui moioay, nnci sunny sang it in a very charming, fresh and orlglnnl mnn nor. It was such a chango after whnt had gone before Of course her voice did not compare with some of the other voices, but her personality told, her smile told, her freshness nnd hcr youth told. The younger ones among tho audience applauded her heartily Tho elder ones tried to look a little shocked, but failed : then thoy applauded hcr, too. Sunny got oven moro applauto than tho great Italian singer, and It was of a heartier, moro spontaneous nature. "I said I'd wako 'cm up'" sho mut tered to herself. CHAPTER XXIV New 1'riend Mr Curtlsi, tho Irreproachably dressed and unapproachable young man, stood In tho wings. It was tho first night of the new rcuo, tmd Sunny u crow was singing her song. It was no' often that Curtlss troubled himself t witness a performance, ins uuijr um his work lay In preparing for and nt tending to tho business sldo of things. Tho rent could be safely left to the act Ing-mnnager and tho stago-mnnagor. but Curtlss stood In tho wings and watched Sunny. Ho wondered a llttlo at tho charm o tho girl. Ho wns not enthusiastic, 11 had Been many nowcomcrs nnd ho hn also seen them go Tiierc nnu open juv. successes nnd many failures. Jlo hud grown to regard ocry newcomer as a potential failure, But this song of Sunny Wucrow's wn something different from tho usual run of lovesick lyrics. It was a song of home and mother, and Mr. Curtlss moved by something that ho could not very well explain, had decided to glvi Sunny rather an exceptional .chance. He had had a stago setting expressly ar ranged for hcr. In tho background was a little cottage, tho lnndecapo lost In a dim, grayish darkness. Tho stage wai In darkncsi; Sunny'H llttlo llguro wns thrown Into relief by onony of light It was effcctlvo, very, nnonso wa the song. They worn old-fashioned words, cut out of an arly Victorian album. Noth ing great In the way of pootry, but simple and touching: "I havo tried, I havo hoped, I lravo fnlled. Mv wnv has been weary and lono. I havo longed for tho rest nnd tho peace , on you( breast. In my own little, dear cottago homo. Its windows, like stars In tho night, Are beacons to welcome mo homo. And the smile I can seo Is a welcome for me As I'm nearlng my weo cottago homo." She whs singing It with all her heart In her voice. Her sweet, chlldllko voice trembled and shook, and Mr. Arthur Curtlss, who had long slnco bolloved himself proof ngnlnst anything of the kind, blinked hard, "Kool!" lie muttered. "Clover llttlo wretch, that's what slu Is I Ocorge, Mio'll do! Sho'll do-! I wish Biirstowo could hear liofM I'll try to got him to, ono night!", But that, as Curtlss knew, was almost an lmposulblo thing As Sunny nenred tho end of hcr song the scenic effects camo Into play. Tho llttlo cottage grew In relief against tho dark background ; lights HUddenly sprang up In tho windows. The last note died away ; the cottage door opened a warm, yellow light streamed out. In tho doorway uppenred tho llguro of nn old woman, standing with outstretched arms. With a sob the girl turned to her, holding out hor nrms, then suddenly all was blacked nut It was effective, very, from tho audi ence's point of view. The song nnd tho singer moved them nil. Then camo a hurrlcnno of applause from every part of tho house. "Cieorge I" Curtlss muttered, "It's taken gone with a bang! Ulg suc cess!" Ho blinked. "Clover little wretch !" Ho turned away nnd went to Mr. Barstowo's private oltlce Barstowo was always in hh private office on n first night, but he was not thero now. Curtlss knocked nnd knocked ngaln ; then ho op?iicd the door and went In. Barstowo wns not there Odd thnt Barstowo wuh not there. CurT ua inougiu, ns no snut mo door. Ho turned nnd Mr. Barstowe enmo Into tho outer otllcc His hard, strong face was ns Impnsulvo us over. "I've been to tho front." ho uM .briefly. "vou you hae, slr7" "Yes ; I was curious to hear that girl. Well, you heajd her?" "Yes, sir." "Well?" Barstowo said, with a heavy frown. "Good, ch?" "Splendid ! You henrd how It went a big number that'" Bnrstowp nodded "What term is her engagement? Six months, Isn't It?" "Yes, sir." "Sot her In the morning; book her hero for three yenrs, to Btnrt at ten pounds a week. Incronslng five pounds each year, mnklng tho last year twenty pounds a week. Understand?' "Yes, tlr. Very good. I think It's a wise move. Sho looks llko bolng " But Barstowo had gono In nnd closed tho door of his office nftcr him. "Fancy tho old man going to tho front to hear a now hand !" CurtlsB thought. "Hind ho did, though!" Hxcept for somn of tho girls of the chorus, who wero Inclined to be spiteful a ml Jealous, they wero a good-natured lot at tho ltenlin. Sunny camo In for a shower of con gratulations and handshakes. Miss 1'Jsmo Waul, tho leading lady, kissed her warmly "You sang It beautifully, 'dear'" she said. "And It's a lovoly little song! You almost made mo cry, nnd that's Baying a lot, because I got beyond Ota stugo years ago " ":.o, you ain't," Sunny said. Sho looked up into tho woman's pretty, rather tired-looking face "You won't get bejond tho crying stage; no good woman oer does '" "Oood woman ; but " "You're thnt1" Sunny said. She reached up her arm3 nnd drew tho wom an's face to horH. "Never forgot how to cry." she said It It hems that nnd smiling !" She Jnughed gently. "That's what I nlwns say to myself. 'Hold up Nour hend. Sunny IJucrow. and keen smiling, and iorj thing's bound to come right in the end." I believe sou nro right, dear,' Miss Ward said ' You're n good lltlo thing, Sunny Ducrow. and I've fnllen In' love with you And I'm not the only ono cither , I know someono clso who has " "Koll In loe with me? Miss Wnid nodded. "Arthur Curtlss has, I belloo He was standing in tho wings nil through vour song. I newr saw him do It be foro : nnd ho was looking at you well. Just as a man looks you don't under stand, though , juu'ro only n baby' niero, goon hick in you, nnu many.mnny moro successes bigger ones than this I" "Thank ou!" Sunny hald nuletly. "You'ro good to mo, .Most people nre good to me I wonder why, sometimes." "I'll tell you why ; it l.s Just because you are Sunny," tho woman said. "Mr. Curtlss would like td see' Miss Ducrow If sho would be bo good as to sparo him a fow moments I" "Oh!" Sunny said, Sho Rlghed. "I wonder If ho'n got tho curpet laid down for mo to walk over and got a band playing? 'If sho 11 be so good hh to sparo ,i few moments !' My word, I'm getting on!" Sho laughed to herself. "Tell him nil right," sho Bald to the messenger. She was dressed, Tho first night wns over, and a great success It had been, nnd not the meanest success had been Sunny's slrnplo llttlo song of homo and motlur nnd love Sunnj, with hcr hat on, and ready to go out, enmo out of tho dressing mom thnt sho shared with two others.
