(R ISM. br McClure SmMHr Srndic.l. )
Por three days the sparkle of sun-
shine and a softer turn to the winds
had made a deep Impression on the
fields of snow and Ice. Jane Carew
thoughtfully drawing on her gloves
looked down from the porch of her I
pleasant home upon the rushing river
suddenly freed from Its winter's pris-
on. Madly pursuing Its course it
seemingly threatened to take every-
thing In Its way.
J’i'ff beyond the bridge lay the quiet
II*tie old town, nestling among the
New England hills In the dim twilight,
the white church steeple and the
courthouse spire rising In the center
as If to proclaim equal rule of love
and law.
To Jane the past ten years hnd
brought many changes. The reflection
In her mirror only a few moments
since hud Impressed her with that
thought. Silver threads had already
begun to weave their way among the
luxuriant brown locks, and to the
pleasant face lines of thought had
been added. But the pink flush of

It had been. The author had seen her on the
stage once. He hnd purposely written his play
round her, because her personality had Impressed

Neither did the Big Mun.
,, “!0U'T* ,0 d° what I tell you. if you’re
tired, what about me?"
Rather than argue, she gave In. It wasn’t
worth It—arguing with a man who could onlv rea-
son like a woman. Th* worst of It was. she could
see through him now. She knew he was jealous,
hhe knew he took a perverse pleasure in trying
to queer her "business." She was perfectly well
aware that could he have dispensed with her, he
would have done so: only box-office receipts had
been so good since he had starred her. After h* had
gone, the Leading Woman turned the key In ihe
lock. There wns always one way by which she
could secure oblivion of her mental sufferings Not
by morphia, or drink, but by letters, a score of
them, written by her. sealed but not addressed,
lay In a locked drawer of her escritoire. She did
not even know the man who. In them, she In-
voked. Her eyes had never seen him. To write
thus was one of those queer feminine Impulses
that women who suffer give way to In order to
save their hearts from breaking. They were the
only love-letters she had ever written to a man.
She took up her pen now, striving for calmness
while writing to her Unknown:
“Oh. my dear, I am so terribly sad, and I em
so lonely that I feel tike a little child crying In
the dark ... It can't go on. I can't hear It
much longer. Sometimes In my agony I have told
myself to do as other women do. to he worldly,
venal, to laugh and console myself with the first
likely man who comes my way. Pride stops me.

ever see you? Will you ever become real, my
Ideal? Shall I never know what love Is? Kor now
my heart Is virgin.
"Think of It, Half-of-My-Soul, wherever you are!
I am a wife. And I have never known what It Is
to love, except Intangibly, as I love you. That Is
my punishment for having married without re-
flection. Beloved. I was such a child, and thought
nothing mattered except my art.
"Sometimes, w hen I flrst begun to write to you.

She was strung up and she covered pages, giv-

aennlblllty there la aomethlng very convincing lo

was being rehearsed ahe wrote more frequently
to the Unknown than she ever hud before. Her
need was greater.
The Big Mun s pmfe-slonal Jealousy had out-
run hla discretion and his business Instinct. As
the flrst night approached, reckless of conse-
quences, he deliberately sliced and cut her part
except where It fed his own. The Leading Woman
said nothing. She knew It would be usv&ss.
Quite at the last moment, too. the Big Man
made a vital alteration In the principal scene of
the second act, delaying her entrance so that
he might have the stage to himself as long as
possible. It was an error of Judgment which
even vanity did not exctise: and In the sense that
It maimed the play and Injured the actress. It was
a crime.
Tie Leading Woman knew the play was a good
play, and that there was one way to save It. The
remedy lay with her. If, Instead of acquiescing
In her belated appearance in the second act she
came in as arranged In the author’s script, the
Big Man would have no alternative but to go on
with the action as It had been written. Should
she do It? All she knew on the opening night waa
that she could pull the play out of the fire If she
dared.
Before the first act was over any help of hers
seemed hopeless. It hung fire, was received with
comparative silence. When the curtain fell she
had ten minutes In which to make up her mind
w hether or not to take the step she contemplated.
She stood on the stage, looking at the house
through a peep-hole In the proscenium.
Right In the center of the front row of stalls
the seated figure of a man enchained her gaze.
It seemed us if he returned It, for his eyes were
fixed on the precise spot from which she regarded
him. She went hot and then cold ; for ahe knew
beyond a shadow of doubt, as women do set.se
such things, that the man In front was he whom
she had called her Unknown; for whom she had
kept her heart empty all the lean years of her
married life.
She went quickly back to her dressing room.
Not only for the author's sake, hut for her own;
her mind was made up to revert to the earlier
entrance and risk everything. Including the Big
Man's displeasure. She was going to act for the
Man In Front, to forget that ahe was tfie wife as
well as the victim snd chattel of the Big Man.
She dressed feverishly. Then she sent for the
atage-mnnnger.
I m going to take my original cue Jn the second
act." she told him. "It’s my responsibility, of
course. I'm going to play my part as the author
wsrite It I shall speak my original lines, and
tbeoe engaged in the scene will Ignore the cuts
made yesterday. Will you please tell them to
be prepared? The prompter as well."
The stage-manager had always considered the
Leading Woman a pliable, weak creature. The
Inexplicable change In her left him so amazed
that he had no word to say. She passed him on
her way to the stage, stood behind the center en-
trance fqr her cue . , and took It.
The Big Man gasped and forgot hla part, which
waa nothing new. Beneath the i.rtlflclal color hla
face was livid with rage. The house applauded
