There Is o kaleidoscopic character s,bout the events of the ten days or jo preceding the opening performance f most musical comedies which would aiufce a sober chronicle of them seem fantastically Incredible. This law of anttire made no exception In the oase f "The Girl Up-Stntrs." There were whenrsals v.hldi ran so smoothly and swiftly that they'd have done for per .tormnnces; there were others so nb mlnnbly bad thnt the bare Idea of presenting the mess resulting from six weeks' toll, before the people who lad paid money to see It, was a night mare. Of all the persons directly, or even lemotely, affected by this nerve-shnt-leriiig confusion. Rose was perhaps Jhe leant perturbed. The only thin? Ihat really mattered to her was the successful execution of those twelve ostntnos. The phantasmagoria nt Worth End hall was a regrettable, nt necessary, Interruption of her lore Important activities. She wnkened automatically at half past seven and wns down-town by Jnlf pnst eight, to do whatever shop ping the work of the previous day re enlcd the need of. At nine-thirty an nnhenrd-of hour In the theater the watchman nt the CU.be let her In nt the stage door, and Jtniw had half an hour, before' the ar rival of the wardrobe mistress and ler assistant, for looking over the rork done since she had left for re lea rsal the day before. She liked this quiet, cavernous old Unrn of a place down under the Globe stage: liked It when she had It to her self before the two sewing women came and later, when, with a couple. f sheets spread out on the floor, she tut and basted nccordlng to her cam Brie patterns, keeping ahend of the Syias needles of the other two. After ar own little room, the mere spa ciousness of It seemed almost noble. In keeping with the good luck which aad attended everything thnt bnp jpMied In connection with this first wriure of hers, she was nble to tell albralh that both sets of cos tumes were finished and ready to try n on the very day he announced that the next xchearsnl would be held at ten tomorrow nt the Globe. She persuaded the girls to wait tin 31 all six were dressed In the nfter aowo frocks and until she herself hnd ftad a chance to give each of thera a lnal Inspection and to make a few list touches and readjustments. Then they all trooped out on the stage and artond In a row, turned about, walked lere and there, In obedience to Gnl-V-ntth's instructions shouted from the kick of the theater. It was dark out there nnd dlscon fertlngly silent. The glow of two 4Snrs Indicated the presence of Gold smith and Block In the middle of a lit tle knot of other spectators. Tho only response Hose got the snly Index to the effect her labors sad produced wns the tone of Cnl niith's voice. "All right." he shouted. Go nnd put on the others." There was i another silence after tficy had fifed out on the stnge again, dad this time In the evening gowns a hollow, heart-constricting silence, almost literally sickening. Dut It last ed only a moment. Then : "Will you come down here. Miss Pane?" called Gnlbralth. There was a slight, momentury, but perfectly palpable .shock accompany fti these words a shock felt by ev- try-body within the sound of his voice. TV-cause the director hnd not said, rmne, come down here;" he had said: "Will you come down here, Miss Pane?" And the thing amounted, so rigid Is the etiquette of musical com edy, to nn accolade. The people on the stage aud In the wings didn't tnovt what sho hr.d done, nor In what wharncter she wns about to appenr, nt they did know she was, from now n, something besides a chorus girl. Rotte obediently crossed the runway ml walked up the nlsle to where Gal braith stood, with Goldsmith and Slock, waiting for her. She was feel tog a little nuir.b and empty. Galbrulth. ns she came, held out a nnd to her. "I congratulate you, JOss Dane," he said. "They're admir able. With all the money In the world, 1 wouldn't ask for anything hnndsom wr." The rest of It didn't mutter to Rose the more guarded but nevertheless awrdiul approval of the two owners, bad yet to mnke sure on the fig-mn-s: and the details of settlement, which left her more thnn a hundred ' 4lars' profit, even after she had de- darted the hundred she owed ltoa wet. , The point the point settled m finibrnlth's Dralse was tliat she ad succeeded. It was. on the whole, a good bar fain on both sides. Dut Goldsmith jmjt Hiueir Hi rue back next day and drove another bargain, principally t) their own advantage. "You've certainly got a good eye for costumes, Miss Dane," Goldsmith said, "and here's a proposition we'd like to make. A lot of these other things we'vo got for the regular chorus don't look as good as they might. You'll be able to sec changes to make In them that'll Improve them maybe fifty per cent. Well, you take It on, nnd we'll begin paying you your regular salary now; you understand, twenty-five dol lars a week, beginning today." Rose accepted the proposition with a wurui flush of gratitude. But, from the moment her little salary began, she found herself retained, body and soul, exactly ns Gulbrnlth himself was.. They'd bought all her Ideas, all her energy, all her time, except a few scant hours for sleep and a few snatched minutes for meals. She gave her employers, up to the time when the piece opened at the Globe, at a conservative, calculation, about five times their money's worth. Even if she hadn't been In the com pany, she'd have found something like two duys' work In every twenty-four hours, Just in the wardrobe room. There wasn't a single costum outside Rose's own twelve thnt didn't have to be remodeled more or less. On top of all that, the really ter rible grind of rehearsnls began: property rehearsals, curiously discon certing at first; scenery rehearsals that caused the stage to seem small and cluttered up, and, last and ghast liest, a dress rehearsal, which began at seven o'clock one night nnd lusted till four the next morning. , If you hnd seen them thnt morning, utterly fagged out, unsustnlned by a single gleam of hope, you'd have said It was Impossible that they should give any sort of perform ance thnt night let alone a good one. Rut by eight o'clock, when the over ture wns called, you wouldn't have known them for the same people. There was the feeling, on the edge of this first performance, that they were now on their own. The appenrnnce, back on the stage, of John Gulbralth in evening dress, Just as the call of the first act brought them trooping from their dressing rooms,' Intensified this sensation, lie was going to be, tonight, simply one of the audience. Rose herself -was completely domi nated by the new spirit Her nerves slack, frayed, numb nn hour ago had sprung miraculously Into tune. She not only didn't feel tired. It seemed she . never could feel tired again. It wasn't until along In the third act thnt the audience became, for her, mything but a colloid mass some thing that you squeezed and thumped and worked as you did clay, to get it Into n properly plnstlc condition of receptivity, so that the Jokes, the songs, the dances, even the spindling little shafts of romance thnt you shot out Into It, could be felt to dig In nnd take hold. Rut along In the third net, as she came down to the footlights with the rest of the sextette In their "All Alone" number, one face detached It self suddenly from the pasty gray surface of those that spread over the auditorium; became human Individu al and Intensely familiar; beenmel the face, unmlstaknbly, of Jimmy Wal lace! It Is probable thnt of all the au dience, only two men saw that any thing hnd happened, so brief was the frozen Instant while she stood trans fixed. One of them was John Gnl bralth, In the back row, and Jie let his brenth go out again In relief nltnost In the act of catching It. Tie guessed well enough what hnd happened. Rut It was all right. She was going on as If nothing hnd happened. The other man wns Jimmy Wallace himself. He released, too, a little sigh of relief when ho saw her off inher stride again after thnt momentary falter. But he hardly looked at the stage after that; stared absently at his program Instead, nnd presently availed himself of the dramatic crit ic's license and left the theater. As for Rose herself, In her conscious thoughts she didn't recognize the hope already beating tumultously In her veins, thnt he would tell Rodney thnt perhaps even before she got back to her dlsmnl little room, Rodney, pacing his, would know. It was so Irrational a hope so un expected and so well disguised that she mistook It for fear. But fear never made one's heart glow like that. That's where all her thoughts were when John Qalbralth hnlted her on the way from the dressing room after the performance was over. "1 know ' you're tired," he said brusquely. "Buf I fancied you'd be tlreder in the morning, nnd I have to leave for New York on the fast train, ' So, you see, It was now or never." Strangely enough, that got her. She stured at him almost In consternation. !'Do you mean you are going awayl" she asked. "Tomorrow?" "Of course," he said, rather sharply. "I've nothing more to stay around here for." He added, as she still seemed not lo hnve got It through her head: "Mv contract with Goldsmith and Block ended tonight, with the opening performance." "Of course," she said In deprecation of her aupldlty. "And yet it's always seemed that the show was you; Just something thnt you made go. It doesn't seem possible thnt it could keep on going with you not there." The sincerity of that made It a really fine compliment Just tho sort of com pliment he'd appreciate. But the old perversity again tho very freedom with which she said It spoiled It for him. ' I may be missed," he said It wns more of a growl, reully "but I sha'n't be regretted. There's always a sort of 'Halleluiah chorus' set up by the company when they renllze I'm gone." "I shnli regret it very much ", said Rose. The words would hnve "set his blood on fire If she'd Just faltered over them. But she didn't. She was hope lessly serene about It. "You're the person who's made tho sit weeks bear able, and, In a way, wonderful. I nev er could thank you enough for the things you've done for me, though I hope I may try to, some time." "I don't want any thanks," he said. And this was completely true. It was something very different from grati tude that he wanted. But he realized how abominably ungracious his words sounded, nnd hastened to amend them. "What I mean Is that you don't owe 'me any. You've done a lot to make this show go as well ns It did, In more ways than you know about. It wasn't fir me, personally, that you did It. But all the same, I'm grateful, You'll stay with this piece, I suppose, as long as the run lasts. But In the end. what's the Idea? Do you want to be nn actress?" "The notion of Just going on not chnnglug anything or improving nny thing; doing the same thing over and reuthlng. But the eyes weren't look at him. Another vision filled them, i'hi) vlMon oh, ho was sure of It now! of that "only oiio," whoever he was, ;'ilmt mattered." I won't keep you any longer," he said. "I'll have them get a tuxi and nd you homo." Sho said she didn't want a taxi, ne didn't demur to her wish to be put on cur, and at the crossing where they alted for it after en almost silent walk, he did manage to snane umiu and tell her she'd hear from him soon. But he kicked his way to tho curb after tho car had carried her off, and marched to his hotel in a sort ot baffled fury. lie didn't know exactly Just what It was he'd wanted, wui he did know, with a perfectly abysmal conviction, thnt he was a fool I One Face Detached Itself Suddenly. over again for rorty weeKs, or even four, seems perfectly ghastly Just to keep going round and round like horse at the end of a pole. What I'd like to do. now that this is finished Is well, to start another." nis eyes kindled. "Thnt's It," he said. "That's what I've felt about you all along. I suppose It's the reason felt you never could be nn actress. You see the thing the way I do the whole fun of the game Is getting the thing. Once It's got . . ." He snapped his tinners, and with an enger nod she agreed. "Well then, look here." he suld. "I've an Idea that I could use you to good udvuntage as a sort of personnl as sistant. There'll be a good deal of work Just of the sort you did with the sextette, teaching people to talk nnd move about like the sort of folk they're supposed to represent. It would be done more If we could teach chorus people to act human. Well, you can do that better than I, that's the plain truth. Under this new contract of mine that I expect to sign in a day or two, m simply have to have somebody, And then, of course, there's the cos tuming. That's a great game, and think you've a talent for It. "There you are I The Job will be paid from the first a great deal better than what you've got here. And the costuming end of It, If you succeed, would run to real money. Well, how about It?" "But," said Rose, a little breathless ly "but don't I have to stay here with The Girl Upstairs'? I couldn't Just lenve, could I?" "Oh, I sha'n't be ready for you Just yet, anyway," he said. "I'll write when I am, and by that time you 11 be per fectly free to give them your two weeks' notice. They'll be annoyed, of course; but, after all, you've given them more thnn their money's worth already. Well will you come If write?" "It seems too wonderful to be true, she said. "Yes, Til come, of course. He gazed at her In a sort of fas cination. Her eyes were starry, her lips a little parted, and . Bhe was so still she aeomed mot even to be CHAPTER XX. Anticlimax. It was out of the Umbo of the un foreseeable that the blind Instrument of Fate appeared to tell Rodney about Rose. He was a country lawyer from down-state, who had been In Chicago three or four days, spending an hour or two of every day in Rodney's olllce In consultation with him, and, for the rest of tho tlnie, dangling about, more less at a looso end. A belated sense of this struck Roduey at the end of their last consultation. "I'm sorry I hnven't been able to do more," Kouncy sum uo auyuuuu, really, in the way of showing you a good time. As a matter of fuct, I've spent every evening this week here In tho office." "Oh. I hnven't lacked for entertain ment," the- man said. "We hayseeds find the city a pretty lively place. I went to see a show Just lust night called The Girl ' Up-Stalrs.' I sup pose you've seen It." "No," said Rodney, "I haven't" "Well, it wns downright funny. haven't laughed so hard In a year. If you want a real good time, you go to see It." The i last part of this conversation took place In the outer office. Rodney saw the man off with a final hand shake, closed the door after hlra, nnd strolled irresolutely back toward Miss Beach's desk. It was true, he'd been taking It on rather recklessly during the past two months. But they'd been pretty sterile, those long, solitary evening hours, ne'd worked fitfully, grinding away by brute strength for a while, and then, in a frenzy of Impatience, thrusting the legal rubbish out of the way and letting the enigma of his great fullure usurp his mind and his memories. "Telephone over to the University club," he snld suddenly to Miss Bench, "and see If you can get uie a seat for The Girl Up-Stalrs.'" The ofiice boy wns out on nn errand nnd in his absence the switchboard was In Miss Bench's enre. She arose obediently nnd moved over to the swltchbourd, . then began fumbling with the directory. "Whv, Miss Beach!" said Rodney, You know the number of the Unlver slty club!" He was looking nt her now with un- llsgulsed curiosity. She wns acting, for a perfectly Infallible machine like Miss Bench, almost queer. Without looklne around nt him, sho said: "Mr. Aldrlch, you won't like that show. If ou go, you'll be sorry. While he was still staring nt her, young txnlg came oursung Diitneiy out of his office. "Oh, Miss Beach!" he said, and then stopped short, see ing thnt something had happened, Rodney tried an experiment. Crnlg," he snld, "Miss Beach doesn't want me to see The Girl Up-Stalrs.' She says I won't like it Do you agree with her?" A flure of red came Into the boy's face, and his Jaw dropped. Then, as well as he could, he pulled himself together. "Yes, Blr," he snld, swung around, nnd mnrched back Into his own cubbyhole. "You needn't telephone. Miss Beach," said Rodney curtly. And, without nnother word, he put on his hnt and overcoat, walked straight over to the club and told the man nt the cigar counter to get him a ticket for tonleht's performance of "The Girl Up-Stnlrs." It was after five, and he decided he might ns well dine here.. So he went up to the lounge, armed himself with nn evening paper, and dropped Into a big leather chair. ' But nil his carefully contrived en vlronment hadn't the power, It seemed, to . shift the current of his thoughts, They went on dwelling on Jhe be havior of Miss Beach and young Crnlir. which really got queerer the more one thought about It. . He flung down his paper nnd went Into the adjoining room. The large round table nearest the door was pre empted by a group of men he knew, and he come up with the Intention of dropping Into the one vacant chair, But Just before the first of them caught a glimpse of him his ear picked up the phrase "The Girl Upstairs." And then a lawyer in the group looked up and recognized him. "Hello, Aid rich," he said, and the flash of silence that followed had a galvanic quality. The others began urging him to sit down, but he said be was look Ing for somebody, and walked away driwn the room and out the farther door. He knew now that he was afraid, Yet the thing he was afraid of refused to come out Into the open where he could see it and know what it was, He still believed that he didn't know what it was when he walked past the framed photograph In the lobby of the thenter without looking at them and stopped at the box office to ex change his seat, well down In front, for one near the back of the theater. But when the sextette made their first entrance upon the stage, he knew that he had known for a good many hours. He never stirred from his seat dur ing either of the Intermissions. But along In the third act he got up and went out The knout thnt flogged his soul hnd a score of lashes, each with the sting of Its own peculiar venom. Everybody who knew him, his closer friends and his casual acquaintances as well, must have- known, for weeks, of this dis grace. His friends una Deen sorry iot him, with Just a grain of contempt; his ncqunlntances had grinned over It with Just a pleasurable salt of pity. "Do you know Aldrlch? Well, his wife's In the chorus at the Globe theater. And he doesn't know It poor devil." The northwest wind which hnd been blowing Icily since sundown, had In creased In violence to a gale. But he strode out of the lobby and Into the street unaware of It ' He found the stage door and pulled It open. An Intermittent roar of hand- clapping, Increasing and diminishing with the rapid rise and fall of the curtain, told him that the perform ance was Just over. A doorman stopped him and asked him what he wanted. "I want to see Mrs. Aldrlch," he snld. "Mrs. Rodney Aldrlch." "No such person hero," snld the man, nnd Rodney, in nis rage, simpiy assumed that he was lying. It didn't occur to him thnt Rose would hnve taken nnother name. - He stood there a moment, debntlng whether to attempt to force nn en trance against the doormnns unmis takable intention to stop him, and de cided to wait instead. The decision wasn't due to common sense, but to n wish not to dissipnte his rngo on people thnt didn't mnt ter. Ho wanted it lntnot for Rose. Ho went back to the alley, brnced himself In the angle of a brick pier, nnd waited, no neither stamped, his feet nor flailed his arms about to drive off tho cold' He Just, stood still with the patience of his Immemorial ances tor, waiting, unconscious of the lapse of time, unconscious of the figures thnt presently began straggling out of the nnrrow door thnt were not she. What do you suppose happens when Rodney meets Rose at the stage door? It Is a thrilling meeting they have and the emo tional stress takes them almost to the breaking point The next Installment tells you all about what happened. (TO BE CONTINUED.) WARRING ON INFANT PLAGUE Medical Scientists Place Themselves In State of Preparedness to Repel Advances of Foe. The best war news of home signifi cance published the other day related to the new state of preparedness in which our medical scientists find them selves for the fight with Infantile par alysls and its microbes, observes the New York World. In case of a fresh advance by these foes of childhood In the coming summer, the prospects for distinct repulse are encouraging. It is from the research forces of the Rockefeller Institute that the bulle tins conio of a progressive readiness. Not least encouraging among the discoveries of the doctors Is the fact that two centers of generally efficient defense nre characteristic of tho body Itself. One of these Is In tho secretions of the nose nnd throat, the entrance nvenues of the microbes. The other is In certain membranes, when intact, surrounding the spinal cord nnd brain. A silgbt injury to these membranes will let the virus In when the diseaso germs have once passed the other bar riers. How frequently the defenses succeeded nil' around Is shown by the record of last summer's nttneks, only 1.59 cases of pnralysls occurring to every 1,000 of population In this city. This would mean about 10 cases to a city of 10,000 people. rassinc from natural preventive to discovered remedies, the doctors tell of a better serum and of methods of ad ministration mnde more effective by a winter's study nnd experiment. Alto gether the research bulletins go far to strengthen the counsel, found to be well based even In Inst summers epi demic, against panic and nerve-racking worry. Calory Is Measure of Heat. Calory Is a word so much used by physicians nnd writers upon diet that there Is no excuse for anyone not un derstanding what It means. The defini tion of tho word calory In the dictionary is: "One or two recog nized units of heat, of which the 'great er calory' or 'kilogram calory' Is the amount of heat necessary to raise one kilogram of water 1 degree C; the 'lesser calory' or 'small calory' being the amount of heat necessary to raise one gram of water 1 degree C." Calory, then, is n measure of hent. The human body may be likened Jo a furnace, nnd the food that goes Into It to the fuel, for this, In fact, Is exnetly what It Is, as It supplies the body with what enables It to keep up its heat So the heat-giving qualities of our food are measured In calories. Why He Came Home. Roscoo Boone, a Muncle electrical contrnctor, went home late the other afternoon to find Mrs. Boone enter taining a company of women at cards. He had forgotten about the party and besides It was the usual period of the dnv for him to remember about the evening meal. "Oh, Mr. Boone," said one of the guests as he stumbled upon the room filled with women, "did you come home to supper?" "Oh. no; not at all," he replied gnl lantly. even if somewhat confusedly.

In order to be saved we hnve nothing to do but gladly believe tills 1 In several passages Jesus Is seen In the Midst of the Saints Our Cen ter. For example, Matthew 18:20 shows he gives us his presence, for where , two or three gather In his name there he is "In the midst." What a differ ence It would make In our assemblies If we realized this! The story of how Dr. A. J. Gordon dreamed Christ came to his church one Sunday Is well known. In n little Book, "How Christ Came to Church," Doctor Gordon bus told what a revolution wus wrought us the result of the dream, for everything was dono afterwards as though Christ were present nnd they were trying to please lihn. John 20:19-21 tells how he gives us his peace. He stood "In the midst" of his disciples nfter the resurrection, saying, "Pence be unto you." Then he showed his hands and his side, for oply in his wounds is there the assur ance of peace. After this he repeated his salutation, "Peace be unto you," and added, "As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." In other words, those who find peace in his wounds are sent ns messengers of peace. What a thrilling errand! The deepest need of men is to be reconciled to God and to find rest for their hearts, yet the poorest sulut la a herald of this great blessing. reace, perfect peace, In this durk world of atn?

Jesus we know, and he Is on the throne. Hebrews 2:12 rendM, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise . unto thee." Christ did not speuk of I his disciples ns his brethren till after I the resurrection, for sonship is a bless- ' lng of the new covennnt. In the text i before us we see Jesus crowned nnd leading the praises nnd prayers of his church. He is fully accepted before j God aud Is our representative ; so, 'as ; our voices mingle with his, our praises nnd prayers nre acceptable. Once ngain, In Revelation 1:13 Jesus Is seen "In the midst" of seven golden candle- ; sticks, representing the church. From ; this place amongst his people he prompts them, as In the letters to the seven chinches'. We serve no dead Christ, dear reader, but one who today ! walks amidst tho churches nnd speaks , to them words of praise or rebuke. Finally, we see Jesus in Revelation 5:6 In the Midst of the Throne Our Hope. Tho Lnmb seen by John la the midst of the throne takes the seven-sealed book of destiny telling of his right to the Inheritance, for he alone Is worthy to open It. All heaven worships him. We wait for the time when he shall rule over the ransomed creatlon. whlch groans awaiting the day of its deliver ance. Never shull this earth have per manent peace until nil other rulers are put down and he reigns who Is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But while we await that day, let us see he Is enthroned In our hearts. Some give Christ a pluce. Some give him prominence. Shall not we give him preeminence? Thou God Seest Me. Live Innocently.
