A PLAY i THE GALLERY. > By Cecilia A. Loizeaux. / | S Copyright, 1906. by May McKeon ) It had Just dawned upon Philip Smart that Kate Hampton was the girl he wanted. He wondered how he could ever have hesitated or ever have had a doubt Why, she was simply cut out for him, he thought, as he dressed with care and precision to go and tell her so. “I should have told her months ago,” he mentally argued. ”She must think I’m an awful duffer,” and he wondered anew that he had been such a blind fool as not to know what had been the matter with him all these months. He believed now that he had been in love with her ever since they had gone to the kindergarten and had not known it. His heart was very light, and he was singing at the top of a lusty baritone voice, “Oh, but I love you, dear!” when there was a thump at his door and his best friend, Fred Bart, dropped in. Fred was also dressed with care and precision and accosted Philip with his customary bellow. “Going up to the Hamptons’? Well, hurry up! You must have been dressing for an hour. What makes you so happy—got your salary raised?” "No!” said Philip shortly. He eud I denly felt anything but cheerful. As j he knotted his cravat be said many . things under his breath, ostensibly at i the stubborn tie. The thermometer of I his feelings was dropping. He wonder- ■ ed what in thunder Fred had to go up I there tonight for. Couldn't he see when ' he wasn’t wanted? The last time Kate ! bad been not much more than civil. He finally turned from the glass and I wriggled into his coat, with a flushed j face. “Well, come on!” he said. ; As they strolled up the shady subI urban streets Fred did not seem to no- ; tice the drop in Phil's spirits, but talked away, with his hand on his companion’s shoulder, until Phil began to ; hate him. However, when they reached the Hampton house and found two white . clad figures on the porch his heart be- : gan to bound again. It was quite like-' ly that Fred was going to see Kate’s • \ “I* pwk HE GREETED THE YOUNG MAN CORDIALLY, sister, Rose, who was much more his style, and doubtless in the course of the evening he could get Kate off by herself. So the four sat on the steps and made merry, and when Phil proposed a walk Fred cordially seconded the idea, and they all got as far as the gate together. PhU thought there couldn’t be a better time for telling a girl you loved her than the quiet moonlit night nor a better place than the deserted streets of a quiet suburb. But when they reached the gate Rose decided she wanted a wrap, and instead of waiting for her, as he should have done, Fred strolled on up the street with Kate, and Phil had to wait. ; It wasn’t a hilarious walk. Rose seemed as out of sorts as Phil, and they were both glad when they reached the gate again and could get away i from each other. Phil would not accept Rose’s invitation to wait on the porch until Fred and Kate came home. He didn’t want to see Fred at all. But he consoled himself with the thought ' that very likely Kate was as Jisap- ' pointed as he himself, and the very next day be telephoned for permission , to come up that evening. It was gra- , ciously granted, and he went downtown and bought a ring, being an old i fashioned lover. The next afternoon he chanced to meet Kate on the street, and she stopped him. “By the way, bring over i your banjo tonight,” she said. “We’ll have a little porch party, and your ! banjo is always so much in demand.” And then he began to wonder whether i it could be possible that she might not i care for him. If she did. why on earth > was she always getting a lot of people 1 around when he came? Then bis brow 1 cleared. “The dear girl!” he thought. ' “She is afraid I will see that she 1 cares, and it is her way of defending herself.’ The porch party was jolly, and there was a good time, but Phil saw next to nothing of Kate. She was here and . there and everywhere, the moving spirIt of fun. Nevertheless he felt that he ' gained a little, for when he said good j night he held her band decidedly longa er than he would have wanted another i - _______ _ I ' \

- - fellow to hold It, and she did not draw it back, as of course she would have done had it been another fellow. On Saturday when he asked to take her driving she assented with a proper show of reluctance. “She knows!” he thought. When he called for her In the twilight her mother explained that she was not quite ready yet and said that a girl friend had come to town quite unexpectedly aud that she and Kate had forgotten time in their chattering. Os course the least he could do was to offer to exchange the stanhope for a surrey and ask the guest aud Rose to go too. The guest stayed two weeks, and during that time, though he tried numberless times, Phil did not get to see Kate alone. He waited as patiently as be could—there seemed to be nothing else for him to do—and hoped she would see the self sacrificing depth of his affection. He had always known all the Hamptons and had been a frequent caller at the home. The judge liked him and his politics, which he talked to the poor fellow at all seasons. The mother admitted him to the family sitting room and darned the family stockings in his presence. The small brother, Jimmy, admitted that Phil was his equal. Advantageous as was this family friendship in some ways, it was as disadvantageous in others. If by any accident he called and found Kate apparently alone something always happened. The telephone rang and some one wanted to come over for a few minutes, or some presumptuous fool stopped in to see Rose and stayed to talk to Kate. Phil grew sick at heart, and Kate began to seem a little cool and dignified. He felt that he must speak soon or forfeit the girl’s lore. She was too proud to help him a bit. One evening he rang her up and asked if he might see her alone. He had something very particular to tell her, he explained. Having gone so far, he swore by all that was holy that he would not leave thh girl that night until he had proposed and had had an answer. “If the whole family comes in and stands around in a circle they can’t stop me this time,” he said. “I’ll propose to Kate, and if they don’t like it they can move. I won’t.” Kate met him at the door and ushered him into the big library, where a great fire was burning on the hearth. It was warm and pleasant after the walk in the frosty air, and he settled himself in the judge’s big armchair with a sigh of relief. Kate explained nervously that her father was out of town and then seemed to wait for something. Phil cleared his throat. “Kate,” he began and wondered just what he should say next Why was it so hard when a fellow had thought of nothing else for weeks? “Yes’?” said Kate encouragingly, and then the front door slammed and in a moment more the judge entered the library. He greeted the young man cordially, sat down on the opposite side of the hearth and began to talk politics. And then Mrs. Hampton came in to see what was the matter. She had heard the front door slam and had thought the judge out of town for the night. In half an hour Rose ran in from making a call in the neighborhood and sat down to toast her toes at the fire. They all talked comfortably, and no one seemed to notice that Philip s laugh was strained or that the flush on Kate’s cheek was more than the usual healthy glow. Then the door was pushed open cautiously, and little Jim appeared in his pajamas. “What are you all having such a good time about?’ he whined as he climbed into his father's lap. “You always leave me out” Phil s endurance reached its limit right there. He rose, with his square jaw set “We won’t leave you out this time, Jimmy,” he said. “We won’t leave anybody out. Call in the kitten, please!” And then he turned to Kate, who seemed paralyzed as she realised what he was going to do. “Kate,” he said, “for weeks and weeks I’ve been trying every day to get you where I could tell you that I love you and ask you to be my wife. I haven’t succeeded for various reasons, so I’ll have to do it right here, with applause from the gallery. Will you, Kate?” He was standing over her now, and they held the tableau. The tears were running down her face, but she could not take her eyes from his. When he dropped on one knee beside the chair the family waked from its dream and departed on tiptoe, the Judge dragging the reluctant Jimmy by the ear. “Will you, Kate?” begged Philip. And then they both burst into peals of laughter, which were beard in the dining room by the discomfited family. But there is good reason to believe that she did, for the judge has been heard to say that be considers his son-in-law the bravest man in the world.

Quite Sordid. There wis a burglar In the room. The beautiful young lady sleeping there was awakened by the flash of his lantern. “Let us come to an understanding,” she said pleasantly. “Are you the sort of burglar I have met in fiction?’ “I am net, mum,” replied the visitor; "I’m the real thing. I hope that silver on your dresser is too.” “Wouldn’t do any good to talk to you about your golden haired baby, then?” “Nope.” “Got a sick wife at home?’ “Nope.” “Worthy man, driven to crime by hunger perhaps?” “Nope. Just out from me last Job.” “Well,” concluded the young lady, “I’m disappointed. You’re mean to dis- . turb me. and I’m glad that’s plated ware.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
