When Wilson Carpenter camo to the
Junction of th!a two irrent thorough
fareb, he stood Btlll for a moment anil
looked at his wntch, not wlshlnj? to ar
rive at jtho. rehearsal too early. He
found that it was then almost elijht
o'clock: and he bftfan at once to pick
his way aeVoss the car tracks that
were here twisted In every direction.
A cloud of steam swirled down as a
train on the elevated railroad clatter
ed along over his head; the cyclops
eyo of a cable car glared at him as It
camo nishlnsr downtown; from the
steeple of a church on the corner,
around which the mellow harve3t moon
retted down en the noisy streets, there
came the melodious call to the evening
service; over the entrance to a variety
ehow .a block above a gaudy cluster of
electric light Illuminated the posters
which proclaimed for that ovenlnjj a
grand sacred corcert. at which' Quecnlo
Dougherty, the Irish empress, would
sing her new song: "He's an llllgant
Wan In a Scrap, My Boys." As the
young dramatist sped along ho noted
ihlat people were still straggling by
twos and threes Into the house of wor
ship and Into the place of entertain
ment; and he could not but contrast
swiftly this Sunday evening In a great
city with -the Sunday evenings of his
boyhood In the little village of his
birth.
He wondered what his quiet parents
would think of him now were they alive
and did they know that he was then
going to th final rehearsal of a play of
which he was half author. It was not
his ljrst piece, for ho had ben lucky
enough the winter beforo to win a prize
ofierod. by an enterprising newspaper
-for th best one-act comedy: but It wan
the first play of hln to be produced at
an important New York house. When
he came to the closed but brilliantly
lighted entrance of this theater, ho
stood still aualn to read with keen
pleasure the three-sheet posters on
each side of the doorway. These parti
colored advertisements announced tho
first appearance ut that theater of the
young American actre:j3, Miss Daisy
Fostclle, in a new American comedv,
"Touch and Go," written expressly for
her by Harry IJrackett and "Wilson
Carpenter, and produced under the im
mediate direction of Z. Kllburn.
When the .author of the new Amerl-'
can comedy 'had read this poster twice
lie took out his watch again and saw
that it wasjust eight. He threw away
his cigarette and walked swiftly
around the corner. Entering a small
door ho wept down a long, Ill-lighted
passage. At the end of this was a
small square hall, which might almost
be called the landlng.stage of a (light
of stairs leading to the dressing-rooms,
above, and -to- the property room below.
This hall was cut off from the stage by
a large swinging door.
As Carpenter entered the room this
door swung- open and a nervous young
man rushed in. Catching sight of the
dramatist he checked his speed, held
out his hajid and smiled, wearily, say
ing: "That's you, is it? I'm so glad
you've cornel"
"The rehearsal hasn't begun, has It?"
Carpenter asked, eagerly.
"Star Isn't here yet,' answered the
actor, "and she's never in a hurry, you
know. She takes her own time al
ways. Daisy does. I know all her lit
tle tricks. I've told you already that
I would never have accepted "this en
gagement at all It I hadn't been out
since January. I don't see myself in
this part of yours. I'll do my best with
It, of course, and it isn't! such a bad
part, may be; but I don't see myself
in it."
Carpenter tapped the other on the
back, heartily and cried: "Don't you
be afraid,. Dresser; you will be all
right! Why.d shouldn't wonder If you
made the hit of the whole piece!"
And with that he started to open
tho door that led to the stage.
But Dresser made a sudden appeal:
"Don't go away Just as I've found you.
I've ben wanting -to see you nil day.
I've got to have your advice, and it's
important."
"Well?" the dramatist responded.
"Well," repeated the young actor,
"you know that bit of mine In the third
act, where I have the scene with Jimmy
Stark'? He harf to say to me: 'I think
my wife's mind Is breaking,' and I say:
'Are you afraid she Is going to give you
a piece of' it?' Now, how would you
read that?"
After the author had explained to tho
actor what seemed to him the obvious
distribution of the emphasis in this
speech he was able to escape and at
last to make his way upon the stage.
Tlresceno of the first act of "Touch
and Go" was set and the stago Itself
was brilliantly lighted, while the audi
torium was In absolute darkness. It was
at least a minute before Carpenter was
able to discern the circle of the bal
cony, shrouded In the linen draperies
that protected Its velvet and its gilding
from the dust. Here and there in the
orchestra chairs were little knots of
three or four persons, perhaps twenty
or thirty In all. The procenlum. boxes
yawned blackly. Although It was a
vyarm evening In tho early fall, the
house struck Carpenter as chill and
forbidding He peered into the dark
ness to discover tho face Jie was long
ing to see again.

Two men were talking earnestly,
seated at a table In tho center of the
stage near the footlights. Ono of these
was a short man, with grizzled hair and
a masterful manner; this was Sher
rington, the stage manager who had
been engaged to produce the play. The
other was Harry Brackett, Carpenter's
collaborator In Its authorship.
Just as tho nowcomer had made out
In the dark house the group he was
seeking and had bowed to the two
ladles comprising It, Harry Brackett
caught sight of him.
"Well, Will," he cried, "the Stellar
Attraction Is late, as usual and we've
got lots of work before us tonight,
too. Sherrington Isn't nt all satisfied
with the way they do either of the big
scenes In tho second act; and we've got
to look out and keep them all up to
their work If wo want this to bo any
thing more than a mere 'artistic suc
cess.' "
" 'Artistic success! "
said Sherring
ton, emphatically; "why, there's money
in this thing of yours, big money, too.
If we can get all the laughs out of those
two scenes of Daisy's In the second act.
But it will take good work to get out
all the laughs that there ought to be,
legitimately and we've got to do It!
jsvery laugh is worth a dollar and a
half; that's what I say."
"The two scenes In the second act?"
inquired Carpenter. "The one with
Stark and the one with Miss Marvin,
you mean?"
"The one with Marvin will bo all
right, I think," said the stage man
ager. "I'm not so sure of that," Harry
Brackett Interjected; "you Insisted on
her being engaged, Will, but she is
very inexperienced, and I don't know
how she'll get through that long
scene."
"Miss Marvin is very clever," Carpen
ter declared, eager to defend the girl
he was In love with. "And she will look
the part to perfection!"
"Looklr,T Is all very well," Brackett
responded, "but It Is acting she will
have to do In that scene in the second
act."
"And she will do it, too," asserted
the stage manager. "You see she's got
her mother here tonight and there Isn't
a sharper old stager anywhere than
Kate Shannon Loralne."
"That's so," Harry Brackett admit
ted; "I suppose Loralne can show her
daughter how to get out of that scene
all there Is In It."
"Shannon'll see the whole play to
night," said Sherrington, "and she'll be
able to give Marvin lots of pointers to
morrow. The little girl will be all right;
It's Daisy I'm more afraid of in that
scene. It ought to be played high
comedy, 'Lady Teazle,' way up In G
and high comedy isn't altogether in
Daisy's line."
"That can's be helped now," Brackett
replied; "and if the Stellar Attraction
can't reach that Bcene, it's the Stellar
Attraction's own fault, isn't it? You
remember, Will, how sho kept telling
us all the time we were writing tho
play that she wanted as high-toned a
part as we could give her. We gave It
to her and now she's Just got to stretch
up to it, if she can."
"I am not afraid of that scene," Car
penter declared,"for I've always doubt
ed whether she could really do high
comedy, and that scene Is written so
that it will go almost as well if it's
played broadly. You know there are
two ways of doing Lady Teazle."
"There are no two ways about Daisy's
being a great favorite," said the stage
manager. "She's accepted, and that's
enough. After all, I don't suppose it
matters much, how she takes that
scene; high or broad, the public will ac
cept her. The part fits her like a glove;
and all we've got to do Is to keep every
body up to concert pitch and get all
the laughs we can. You took my advice
and cut that talky scene In the third
act and now the whole act will go off
like hot cakes see if it don't. I tell
you what It Is, I'll teach you two boys
how to write a real farce before I've
dono with you!"
Harry Brackett was standing almost
behind Sherrington as the staco man
ager made this speech. Ho winked at
Carpenter.
"Yes," he said a moment later, "I
think it is a pretty good piece of the
kind, and I hope it will fetch them.
At any rate, I don't believe even our
worst enemies will praise it for its 'lit
erary merit.' "
Carpenter laughed a little bitterly.
"No," he assented, "we've got it into
shape now and I doubt if anybody in
sults us by saying that 'Touch and Go'
is 'well written.' "
"Do you remember our joke while wo
were working on it last winter, Will?"
asked Harry Brackett. Then turning
to Sherrington ho explained: "Wo used
to say that the managers wouldn't
touch' It, so the people couldn't 'go.' "
"It's harder to touch the mannn-er
than It Is to make tho public go," added
Carpenter. "I believe that any fool can
write a play but that only a man of
great cenlus over succeeds In getting
his play produced."
A handsomo young woman with
snapping black eyes, walked on the
stage briskly.
"Here's tho Stellar Attraction at
last," said Harry Brackett; "now we
can get down to business."
"Am I late?" the handsome young
woman asked, as she came forward.
"Everybody waiting for me?"
"You are lust twenty minutes late,
my dear," said the stage manager,
looking at his watch, "and we are all
waiting for you."
"That's all right, then," she replied
laughing lightly; "we've got all night
before us, haven't we?"
Tho prompter clapped his hands and
called out "First act!" Two clean
shaven men of Indefinite age who had
been sitting In the wings rose and
came forward. Mr. Dresser Joined
them, and his manner suggested a cer
tain Increase of his ordinary neious
tension. A well-preserved elderly lady
left her seat on one sldo of the aisles
under the proscenium box and came
through the door which led from the
auditorium to the stage. She was fol
lowed by a slight, graceful glrl.a blonde
with clear gray eyes.
"Mrs. Castleman Miss Marvin," said
the promptor, seeing them; "now we
are all ready.1
And then the serious business of the
rehearsal began, Mrs. Castleman camo
down to tho center of the stago and
took up a newspaper and read tho date
of it aloud, and remarked that it was
Just flvo years since Master and Mist
ress had parted In anger, adding that
neither of them had put foot Inside the
old house In all the five years, and yet
It was not an hour fro'in New York.
Then one of the minor actors, an
awkward young fellow, ono of tho two
who had been standing In tho wings,
entered with a telegram, which ho gave
to Mrs. Castleman, She tore It open
and read it aloud. The master would
arrive early in the evening. Then Miss
Marvin, tho girl with tho clear blue
eyes came forward with an open letter
In her hand and told Mrs. Castleman
that the mistress of the house would bo
home again at last early that morning.
And thus tho rehearsal went on gravely
everyone Intent upon the business In
hand. The speeches of tho actors were
interrupted tiow and then by the stage
manager. "Take tho last scene over
again," he might command, whereupon
the performers would resume their
places as before and begin again.
"Don't cross till ho takes the stage, my
dear. And when he says: "What Is the
meaning of this?' don't be In a hurry.
Walt, and then say your aside :Cah
he suspect?" In a hoarse whisper. See?"
Finally there was a jingle of sleigh
bells, and the orchestra, beginning
faintly and slowly, soon worked up to a
swift forte, and then Miss Daisy Fos
telle made her first appearance through
the broad door at he back of the stago.
Finding that she had taken everybody
by surprise, she smiled aweetly, and
said: "You didn't expect me, I see but
I hope you are all glad to see mo once
more."
A thin cadaverous man with a heavy
black mustach here stepped forward to
face tho wife he had not scon for five
years. "We are all glad, to see you
once more," he had to say, "very glad,
Indeed, and wo are gladder still to see
that vou seem to be In such excellent
health and such high spirits! The
separation has not dimmed the bright
ness of vour eyes nor" Here the tall
gaunt actor stopped and hesitated. "I
don't know what's the matter with
that speech," he said, Impatiently, "but
I can't get It Into my head. I never
had such tricky lines!"
The prompter gave him the word ho
needed; and no one else paid any atten
tion to this outbreak.
Tho two authors wer seated at the
table In the center of the footlights;
and Harry Brackett whispered to Car
penter; "Stark is getting the big head,
isn't he? The Idea of a mere cuff-shooter
like that taking himself seriously."
Then there followed an Important
scene In which tho wife gave her hus
band a witty and vivacious ocount of
all her doings during the Ave years
of their separation ending with the
startling announcement that he had
six weeks in South Dakota and had
there procured a divorce from him! But
there is no need to disclose here in de
tail the plot of "Touch and Go," as the
new American comedy unfolded itself
scene by scene. As the end of the act
approached Sherrington pressed the ac
turs to play more briskly so as to bring
the curtain down swiftly on an unex
pected but carefully prepared tableau.
When the act was over the stage
manager had the final passages repeat
ed twice, to make sure of its going
smoothly at the first performance; and
then the stago was cleared so that the
scene might be set for the second act.
Carpenter watched the graceful, gray
eyed girl go back Into the dim auditor
ium and take a seat beside her mother;
and his heart thumped suddenly, as he
found himself wondering when he
would dare to tell her that lie loved her
and to ask her to be his wife. Then
he also left tho stage and dropped Into
the chair behind mother and daughter.
(TO BE CONCLUDED.'
MEETINQ OF UN1VERSAUSTS.
State Convention AVns Held nt Rend
ing on Tuesday.
Tho Sixty-sixth annual meeting of
the Pennsylvania Unlversallst State
convention opened on Tuesday at Head
ing with Hon. C. S. Russell, of To
wanda, in the chair.
After prayer by Bev. F. W. Whip
pen, of this city, a cordial address of
welcome was given to the convention
by Dr. J. Kelser, chairman of the board
of trustees of the Reading church.
A quorum being found present on
calling the role of members and dele
gates, Rev. R, E. Horn was appoint
ed assistant secretary during the ses
sion of the convention.
The communion sermon was preached
by Rev. Myra Kingsbury, the topic
being "The Cup of Blessing and the
Living Bread." Rev. Dr. A. G. Rogers
assisted by Rev. Dr. Sweetson, admin
istered the service of the Lord's Sup
per. The present olflcera of the con
vention are: President, Hon. C. S. Rus
sell; vice president, G. W. Gabell, jr.,
secretary, Rev. F. A. BIsbee; treasurer,
George C. Thomas.
The pastor of tho Reading church,
he having recently taken tho position,
Is Dr. A. G. Rogers'. The church build
ing is a beautiful structure of stone.
One's physical feelings, like the faithful
setter, search and point out plainly the
fact of disease or health.
If a man is not feeling well and vigorous
if he is losing flesh and vitality, if he i9
listless, nervous, sleepless, he certainly is
not well. The down hill road from health
to sickness is smooth and declines rapidly.
At the first intimation of disease, the
wise man takes a pure, simple vegetable
tonic. It puts his digestion into good ac
tive order and that puts the rest of bis
body in order. The medicine that will do
this is a medicine that is good to take in
any trouble of the blood, the digestion, or
the respiration, no matter how serious it
may have become.
The medicine to take Is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is a remark
able remedy. It cures diseases in a per
fectly natural way, without the use ot
strong drugs. It cures by helping Nature.
It has a peculiar tonic effect on the lining
membranes of the stomach and bowels.
By putting these membranes into healthy
condition, stimulating the secretion of the
various digestive juices and furnishing to
the blood the proper purifying properties,
it reaches out over the whole body and
drives disease-germs before it into the
usual excretory channels. It builds up
firm muscular flesh, makes the akin and
the eyes bright.
Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has been found wonderfully efficacious in
the treatment of skin diseases eczema,
tetter, erysipelas, saii-rneum from com
tnon nimoles or blotches to the worst casa
of scrofula.

THE 1' LYING MACHINE.
Prof. Lnnglcy's First Authentic 1'op
tilnr Description of the New Won-dcr--His
Toilsome Experiment.
In McClure's Magazine for June
Prof. S. P. Langley, of the Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, gives the first
authentic popular account of his flying
machine, and of the experiments which
led up to his successfully accomplish
ing mechanical fight. Prof. Langley, as
Is well known, was formerly connected
with tho Western University of Penn
sylvania, nnd that It was over the river
in Allegheny that he began his experi
ments. When his mind first turned to
the subject he found that he had to
begin at tho very beginning and study
out the principles, there being absolute
ly nothing to guide him in books, what
he found there regarding the subject
being rather misleading than otherwise.
He spent years in making experiments
on the power of plane surfaces In mo
tlonlind made discoveries which over
threw all previous theories. In short,
ho developed that in theory mechani
cal fight was possible, meaning by me
chanical fight not merely the floating
In the air of a body lighter than tha
atmosphere like a balloon, but the
flight of a body heavier than the air,
by means of a self-contained power.
After arriving at this conclusion
there were years more of experiment
ing In the construction of a machine In J
wmen mis xneory couiu uu rcuuzeu
actual practice. One machine after an
other was constructed only to And that
some serious error existed, which ren
dered flight impossible. Sometimes the
error wasobvlous.butoften It was puzz
ling and dlfllcult 'to solve. But, what
ever it was, whenever discovered, It
had to be corrected, and when this was
done some other error would be found
that would compel a complete revision.
Finally, when a machine had been con
structed of the requisite lightness and
with the requisite power to drive It
through tho air, came the difficulty of
successfully launching It. For It could
not rise from the ground like a bird,
nor could It lift itself, but Its sustain
ing power depended upon motion
through the air. As Anally completed
the machine is thus described:
The width of the wings from tip to tip
is between 12 and 13 feet, and tho
length of the wholo about 16 feet. Tha
weight is nearly 30 pounds, of which
about one-fourth Is contained In tho
machinery. Tho boiler, with its fire
grate, weighs a little over five pounds,
and develops between 1 and ll,4 horse
power. The engine W'elghs but 26
ounces , and drives two propellers be
tween 3 und 4 feet In diameter nt the
rate of from 800 to 1,200 revolutions per
minute. There are two sets of wings
made of canvas attached to a long steel
rod, which forms tho backbone of the
structure, and to which is attached the
machinery.
After the machine, which Is called
tho aeradrome, was completed, It took
three years more of experimenting
before It could be successfully launched
and actually made to fly. A locality
on the Potomac river, about 30 miles
below Washington, was selected, and
here, upon a scow, was erected a work
shop, from the top of which the launch
ing experiments were made. Finally,
after numberless delays, on the 6th of
May, 1896, all the difficulties were finally
overcome, and tho reward camo for
more than ,a dozen years of toll and
thought. On that day the machine was
launched successfully, and the great
problem of tho navigation of tho air
that man had dreamed about for ages
was solved. The machine actually
soared throught the air, and main
tained itself in that medium for the
period that those who had launched it
desired. Owing to tho fact that If It
was allowed to settle on the land, It
might be wrecked, by contact with
trees or other subjects, it was timed
so that the steam would give out In
less than two minutes, so that it Would
settle in the water. Its first flight was
about 900 feet, in a direct line, when It
settled gently, without injury, in the
water, and was Immediately taken out
and launohed again for a somewhat
longer flight. It was flown again and
again with entire success.
In November last another somewhat
larger nreadrome achieved a flight of
about three-quarters of a mile, at a
speed of about 30 miles an hour. Speak
ing of this event. Prof. Langley says:
"Wo may live to see airships a common
sight, but hnblt has not dulled the edgo
of wonder and I wish that tho reader
could have witnessed tho actual spec
tacle. 'It looked like a miracle,' said
one who saw it." In concluding his nr
tlclo, Prof. Langley says: "And now it
may bo asked what has been done?
This has been: A 'flying machine,' so
long a typo for ridicule, has really
flown; dt has demonstrated its practica
bility in the only practicable way by ac
tually flying, and by doing this again
and again, under conditions that leave
no doubt." Ha says he has not space
to enter into the consideration of tho
construction of larger machines, or to
glvo his reasons for bollcvng that they
may be built to remain for days In the
air and to travel at speeds higher than
any with which we are familiar. Ho
says that he has brought to a close the
portion of the work which seemed to bo
specifically his the demonstration of
tho practicability of mechanical flight
and for tho next stage, which Is tho
commercial and practical development
of the Idea, it 1b probable that the world
may look to others. He thinks tho
world will Indeed be supine if it docs
not realize that a new possibility has
come to It, and ithat the great universal
highway overhead Is now soon to be
opened.
