The Price of Fame.

It was In the office of one of the big theater. A lot of actors were hanging arou'fia;*~s-' couple of journalists and a secretary or two. A young woman dropped In for a hasty greeting, and then paused a moment to speak to a very well-known actor whom she evidently met for the first time. The press agent’s .desk was open, and in a corner was a package of pictures of the celebrated actor. The latter looked them over, and as the young woman exclaimed that he should give her one he said, with an insinuating smile to the press agent: “Alas, they are not mine. They belong to Mr. Dash!” “I can’t give any away,” said the latter. “Each one costs me 20 cents.” “Surely that Is cheap!” the young lady suggested. The press agent Ignored her and turned to the actor. “Cheap? Do you think anybody would pay that much for you?” And the young lady laughed and went without her picture.
