She had sought every opportunity to go and had reveled In dreams of one day emerging from these mysterious wings and bowing before an applauding multitude. At first she kept her ambition secret, but as she grew into young womanhood it slipped out little by little. Her mother frowned, her father laughed, and her brother teased her. But it made no difference, excepting to strengthen her desire. And now she actually wbb going to Invade that wondrous realm yclept the green room. Oh. bliss! Oh, joy! Of course papa and mamma and brother Ned would be furiously angry if they knew It, but they need not know until she had made her start and then they would be so proud of her that it would be all right. And then there was Tom. She trembled a little as she thought of the effect on Tom. He bad given her such emphatic advice to cut it out at the mere mention of a stage career, and had pointed out the dangers and hardships of the life so strongly that she scarcely dared to think of what he might Bay or do if he knew. And Torn loved her so dearly and she really was very fond of Tom. But one cannot sacrifice a career to girlish sentiment. If he really loved her he would be proud to see her a great actress and she could marry him anyway and he could travel with her might even be her manager. Yes, on the whole, that would be the very thing. She was very nervous about It all, though. She rather shuddered at the memory of that nightmare of standing In line In the dirty alley together with a score or more of bedraggled young women who had appeared in answer to an advertisement in the newspaper for extras. The atmosphere of stale beer and cigarettes still clung to her and had cost her great extravagances In the matter of perfumes and much persistence in the matter of baths. But she had been taken, greatly to the disgust of the shoving, sneering crowd. Theres a fresh one, better try her, the stage manager had said to his assistant She'll be fine in that ballroom scene. Have ye got any good clothes? To be sure she had, and so the bargain was cfcb&l. It was for a week's run and she had been stumped at first as to ways and means to get away from borne for seven consecutive nights until so late an hour. But ambition conquers all things, and she had arranged it with her dearest friend, who lived in a distant suburb, to spend the entire week with her. She had to toll Ethel all about It, but Ethel was to be trusted. It was a trifle risky, she admitted, but what wouldnt she risk to get on the stage. Then she had taken an apartment in an obscure hotel under an assumed name and was prepared for her debut. Of course It was not what would be deemed proper by the censors of good society, but there was nothing really wrong about It. Still she trembled a little at the thought of what Tom might say or do If he heard of It. But the theater Their conversation and stories, which were principally about the other sex, nearly nauseated her. But Bhe reflected that this was only the beginning. Soon she would he a real actress and have a room to herself. Everything went off nicely on the opening night and Fannie waa given a Fannie! Tom! word of commendation by the stage manager for the way Bbe carried herself in the ball Beene. She was not a bit frightened and was worried only lest somebody In the audience might recognize her. But that would be imIt ran possible with her make-ualong very nicely until the third night, when as she glanced out at the audience the first face she saw was that of Tom. Yes, Tom, right there in the fourth row in the parquet In her surprise and consternation she dropped her fan and nearly upset the scene. She stood staring at the familiar face as in a trance until a harsh voice from the wings recalled her. lobster. Pick up that fan, you Pick it up quick and come out of that trance or I'll wring your Infernal neck. There ain't no ghosts out there." It was the stage manager, and she recovered herself instantly, picked up the fan gracefully, and went on with her business. When the scene was over she went to the dressing room all atremble. Had he seen her and what would he do and say? Well, anyway, there was no backing out now. Still she really loved Tom and she knew she would be heartbroken if he left "iitr. So perturbed was she that she scarcely noticed that the call boy brought a note for "Jen, the roommate who smoked cigarettes and was a drug store blonde. Heres a go, remarked that young woman.

Fannie had only one more scene on. the last, and her disguise was more complete in that. She eyed Tom narrowly and decided that he had not recognized her. He was laughing and chatting with a companion a sporty looking character, and looked not at all perturbed. After the last scene she gave the other two girls the right of way in the dressing room, as they were in a hurry to keep their engagement. She heard tho Introductions on the outside and overheard the discussion between Jen" and "Freddie" as to which restaurant they would go to. While it was still going on she completed her dressing. o;iened the iluor and walked out and illicitly into Tom.
