The house was packed to the roof on the night the play closed. It was the middle of June and the city had grown uncomfortably hot. Went- worth had spent a restless day. It seemed to him as if the air was filled with anticipation. He overheard the Breens discuss their plans for the summer in a Maine Camp. Julie Volk had approached him, half shy, half eager, to tell of a shore cottage where they were to stay with Dorcas until the -season opened. Telegrams came and went, everyone in the theatre had plans except himself. He felt for- saken and isolated amid the excibe- ment of a closing night. He had no ties--not a human being cared wheth- er he came or went. There was a house--he held the title deeds for it, he paid taxes and hired servants to care for it--but it was not a home. Only a year ago the three of them had gone holidaying, as care-free as chil- act he strolled through the darkened house and opened a narrow door be- hind the lower boxes. A few shad- owed steps led bo the stage. A man stood inside with his fingers moving over the buttons, which flooded the | stage with light or shadow. Went- | worth pushed past him and walked swiftly behind the drops until he reached a corner which was compara- tively deserted. He stood inside a wing, watching the company take their curtain calls. Last of all came Merry, alone. The insistent applause importuned a speech. Wentworth smiled grimly. Andrew's one terror was a speech. He was the actor glance about him appealingly, then his eyes signaled to the man who controll- ed the curtain. It began to descend with quite deliberation. Merry paus- ed for a moment, then he came back. "Ladies ang gentlemen." he began, "I had hoped--"" While Wentworth stood listening he wondered why the descent of the cur- tain did not stop. He turned and whispered a command to the stage- hand who stood beside him. The man's face was deathly white, he look- ed paralyzed with terror. In a sec- ond Enoch realized that something in the machinery had lost its grip. The house had gown still, while Merry stood smiling and talking in his non- chalant fashion.

A woman stood beside him clasping her hands and staring at Merry with horror-stricken eyes. Her face grew as white as the lace robe , she wore. Then she shrieked a long, shivering cry of terror. Enoch sprang toward the footlights with one swift leap, holding his arm over his head as if to ward off the heavy curtain, which was still descending. He seized Merry with a desperate grip and tossed the actor far back on the stage, then he fell with the ponderous curtain across his inert body. His closed eyes were facing the glare of the foot-lights. Dorcas and Merry, in a swift motor, reached the Waverly Place home be- fore the ambulance, and a famous sur- geon came close at their heels. When the operation was over they laid Wentworth upon his own bed. The surgeon stood looking down on the unconscious face.
