"Only once had he given free rein to b!s Inclinations and written with a poisoned pen. Tonight, how ever, as he entered the stage door of Nergnian's Circuit theater, it was with a different Intent. Regan, the stage-door tender, better known Kinee his vaudeville days as "The Judge," answered his greeting with n lugubrious shake of a bald head. "I'm a sick man, Mr. Pope. Same old trouble." "M-in-in. Kidneys, isn't it?" "Xo. liheumatlsni. I'm a beehive HWarmJtf with pains." The, Judge leaned forward, and a strong odor of whisky enveloped the cellar.

" Mr. Campbell Pope was a cynic. He had cultivated a superb contempt for those beliefs which other people cher ish. Most men attain success throuch love of their work! Mr. Pope had be come an eminent critic because of his hatred for the drama and nil things dramatic. ' Nor was he any more enam ored of journalism, being in truth by nature iKipolIc, but after trying; many occupations uml fulling in all of them be had rot timed to his desk after each excursion Into oilier fields. First-night iiudlcnees knew him now, and had come to look for his thin, sharp fea tures. His shapeless, wrinkled suit, that resembled a sleeping bag; his flan nel shirt, always tloles and frequently coilarlesM, were considered attributes ot genius; nnd, finding New York to bo uraiizlngly gullible, he took n certain delight In accentuating his eccentrici ties. At especially prominent pre mieres lie affected a sweater under neath his coat, tint that was his nearest approach to formal evening dress. Further concession to fashion he made none. Owing to the dearth of new produc tions this summer, Pope had under taken a nerles of miiguxine articles de scriptive of the reigning theatrical ot to look natural for I'.ergniun! That's somt of 'em now." He nodded toward a group of young, fresh-cheeked girls who had entered the stage door and were hurrying down the hall. ! "I've come to Interview one of Berg man's 'types;' that new bounty, Miss Knight. Is she here yet?" I "Sure; her and the back-dron. ton. She carries the old woman for seen-; 'cry" Mr. Regan took the caller's card j and shullled away, leaving pope to: watch the stream of performers aa i they entered, and made for their quar- ! iters There were many women in the iititubet. and all of them were pretty. I ; M't of them were overdressed in the extremes of fashion; a few, quietly i garbed ladles and gentlemen entered ! the lower dressing rooms' reserved for ! the principals. 1 Meanwhile he exchanged greetings j with the star a clear-eyed man with i the face of a scholar and the limbs of au athlete. The latter hud studied for the law; he had the drollest legs In the business, and his salary exceeded that of Supreme court jnstice. They were laiKing wnoii Air. Kegan returned to tell the Interviewer that he would, bo received. Pope followed to the next Ilonr nnd entered n brightly lighted, overheated dressing room, where Lorelei and her mother wero waiting. It was a glar ing, stuffy cubbyhole ventilated by means of a hull door and a tiny win dow opening from the lavatory at the rear. Along the sides ran mirrors, be neath which was fixed a w'ide make up shelf. One section of the wall was do Voted to telegraph nnd cable forms, hearing messages of felicitation nt the opening: of "The Revue of 1013." A zoologist would have found the display uninteresting: but n society reporter would have reveled In tho names nu.l especially in the sentiments inscribed upon the yellow sheets. Some were ad dressed to Lorelei Knight, others to Was Lynn, her roommate. ( Pope found Lorelei completely dressed, in expectation of his arrival. She wore the white and sliver first-act costume of the Fairy Princess. Both she and her mother were plainly non plused at the appearance of' their "a Her; but Mm. Knight recovered fliilckly front the shock nnd snld'ngree ably: "Lorelei was frightened to death at your ni(HHiige yesterday. Sin wau al- j elder woman's face, nor her voice, nor ; her manner. She impressed him as an j other theatrical type with which he jwas familiar the stage manima. He found himself marveling at the (lis j similarity of the two women, j "Of course a famous beauty does ; meet a lot of people," he said." "Tell ! mo what you think of our flourishing ; lttle city and Our New York men." ! But Lorelei raised a slender hand. ! "Xot for worlds. Besides, you're ( making fun of me now. You are eon i sidered a very dangerous person', Mr. ! Pope." "You're thinking of my story about I the Demurest woman again," he laughed.
