ent and when I went round to pay
my rexpects to her grttce I learned
that she had pleaded a headache and
stayed at home The causeI thought

Ilitsburg luid tiiltly prouilscil the
house a sensation that night and we
were nil a little eager it had not been
aiiiioiinced on the boards but had
lloated round society through the pri
vate channels and we kept asking
each other who was this new star of
llatsbiirg The programme was as
good as could be but the performers
were old aciualutauces nnd while
we stormed the stage with applatuc
after each item all felt that llatHburg
owed us a new sensatlou yet It came
iKtween numbers I and 10 an extra
turn which was merely slipped upon
the notice board The baud struck
up a new air a catchy thing that no
one had heard and yet 1 believe we
all tried to hum It and then into the
entre of the wide strip of stage left
bare In front of the hack doth a little
rngped London gamin came swinging
his Impudent dirty face turned to the
audience with the sang frold of his In
imitable breed He stood still a min
ute and then cooly looking us over he
Itegan to shy personalities at our
comments that made the victim shout
claim lilm a success
There wor no doubt nliout his
reality he was a true anil upparant
ly brought straight out of tho streets
without a dab of paint on lilm that
could be discerned and supremely
Jaunty and Insolent Probably he
was one of the loys who sold Isjgus
programmes at the side doors of the
hall or for a few stray coppers sang
versions of the songs to be heard In
side and Hntsbtirg hail primed him up
to recognize the front rows of the au
dience nnd discourse on their nrlvato
affairs and was getting quite
when one concluded that the
urchin had been coached by someone
who did know llatsbiirg hud been
among these jieoplo for weeks In con
nection with the benellt and though
his use of his knowledge might lve In
doubtful taste there was no denying
that it caught on the stalls roared as
each stinging remark pointed by one
grimy forefinger came clearly across
the footlights through the jaunty
music
Suddenly the boy bognn to dance n
kind of double shulllp nnd to the air
which the band still played softly
broke into a song introducing the
names of people in front of lilm
Ills voice was a sweet trim boys
voice but marred by that awful East
End accent and It rang through the
theatre loud and strong Young

sitting between Noel Vcrney and Mrs
rhlltrcii Hundreds almost sprang up
right in his seat
Ily Jovel ho said Its Slgun I
The house did not recognize her all
at once and the boxes apparently not
at all Hut even the awful presence
of the duchess and the appalling
consul ticiiccB which loomed in the
near future could not restrain the
men They laughed at every wicked
point In the song and when he was
off the stage they yelled to have lilm
back again It sounded as K the
whole hall wore one confused imper
ious demand and though they did not
call her by name It was obvious that
Slgna was recognized I wondered
what she would do nnd almost held
my breath when the small ragged
Ilgttre returned for n brief moment
but only Just lu sight nt tho wings
There was a growing terror In Slguas
eyes an expression most alien to
them Either the passing of the ex
citement or the realization of her
own daring or else that clamoring
audience was terrifying her She
bowed litifitily and pattered off lu
spite of the cries to her to sing
again I feared the demand was too
long and that they would force tier
to come back ond I turned to look
round for Vcrney Hut he had dls
ippoiircd and he was not in the
duchess box though I looked there
with fear und trembling Her grace
was hiIII sitting calm ami smiling
at the front of the box there was
something ominous In her tacit refu
sal to recognize what everyone knew
Lady Janes face wus like a mask I
nought Ladv Leamington was cod
ing but I cbulil not see her plainly
Tho next turn fell flat though there
was n gallant effort to applaud ami
carry it through Hut so many of
the men had vanished that It looked
ns If n wind had swept the stalls
bare It was fatally easy to get be
hind They were waiting Tor Slgna
1 sat out two turns then I followed
Verney He had ns I suspected left
his plaee lieforc Slgna had made her
Imw and was waiting for her be
hind Ily the time I got round the
wings seemed to be full of men chat
tering lu excited voices and at a
little distance Mood Veniey cool and
lnuiUld talking to Hittshurg I heard
the malinger say sulkily At the
there is a way round
and I went then and there lu the di
rection Indicated because I wanted
to we the end of the comedy Thtye
was n brogham waiting there I
st Kid unnoticed on the pavement un
til tin i line out It was I
who opened tbe carriage door Slgna
hail changed her clothes rapidly and
slipped awny from her dressing room
while the men were still awaiting her
lu the wings Hut she was crying
loth rh and It so much surprised
me that I felt the whole scene a little
uimil Verney put her Into the
c urlage hesitated and stood with
in i foot on the step
Kb dl I come too Slgna he said

Something like that

Mo Pimped Into the carriage nnd
I dosed the door and told the coach
man Home becaufo by that time
they were past thinking of anything
but themselves Lady Jnno confessed
afterwards that the engagement was
the greatest relief she had ever
known She had feared that it would
never come off because It appears
that owing to her blundering and
excellent Intentions Hhe had caused
a breach between them which Slgna
would not give Verney a chance to
heal llatsbtirg was an angel a fat
angel In the disguise of n frock coat
and his Henellt was tho medicine tiiat
killed or cured
The amusing part of it is that the
Duchess has Ignored the whole affair
and as she has declined to acknowl
edge what everyone knows that Slg
mi was the sensation of the great
War Kund ItcneM she will have to
go to me wedding on which occasion
Slgna will make her bow and retire
from her war with right and proper
behavior for the present
Quick Wit u Strong rnelor
Some of the noblemen of Europe owe
their present positions and stations ot
honor to the presence of mind and fore
thought of their ancestors during ex
tremely critical moments A hiccough
for Instance Is the cause of tho Kin
skys princely rank lu Austria It
seems that during the midst of some
great court function at Vienna the Em
press Maria Theresa had the misfor
tune to hiccough so violently as to
cause not only herself but her court
great embarrassment In the midst of
her bewilderment young Count Kinsky
stepped forward and with n most
clever assumption of intense mortifica
tion and humiliation asked her pardon
for his breach of good manners The
lmpress received his apology with not
only good grace but gratitude and be
fore long the young nobleman was he-
Mowed with high court honors and
decorutlons
Another story h told liow the Em
peror Napoiepn III when out hunting
one day being a very poor marksman
fired at a pheasant but instead lilt
General Musscna destroying the sight
of one of his lyes No one could doubt
who had fired the shot but General
Mascnit turned round and soundly be
rated General Herthler who hed been
standing behind bim which castlgatlon
Herthler at once accepted and appeared
overcome with remorse Napoleon was
grateful to both for thus shielding lilm
and overwhelmed them both with
honors uud dlgulty

about a gallon of water every day of
his life The statement was verified
by an attache of the Japanese treaty
commission who studied medicine at
Harvard and practiced nt homo
The Japanese soldier is not per
mitted to drink much water on the
march He merely wets his lips rin

I w iiild not say they are unclean It
Is oulv that they are less particular In
their cleanliness It is a difference in
the iont of view The Japanese
think a dally bath the very least at

How to Become Dlscnsc Proof
It has already been suggested that
the appendix should be removed from
every Infant as n routine mensure But
tills is clearly insuillelent says the
Hrltlsh Medical Journal The surgery
of the future must Include far more
than this The tonsils nnd turblunte
bones of the nose must be cut out be
cnuse they may harbor germs What
Arhuthnot Lane calls the liumnn cess
pool that is the large intestine
must he removed along with n consider
nble part of the upper portion of tbe
alimentary canal because It wont be
needed wnen we begin to live on M
Herthelots tnblolds nnd pills The
too readily decaying teeth will he
pulled out In early life nnd the germ
proof store vnrlety Inserted The fnlllng
human eye will be anticipated by
spectacles In early youth Deficient
moral sense nnd degenerncy will be
treated by ventilation of the brnln nnd
removal of the offending areas
Thus protected ngalnst the perils of
civilization the man In the coming
centuries will be able in his Journev
