Skipper learned that he was still only six year* old and that be bad been owned as m saddle horse by a lady who was aboat to sail for Europe and was closing out her stable. This was news to Skipper. Tho man talked very nicely aboat Skipper. Ho said be was kind, gentle, sound In wind and limb and was not only trained to the saddle, but would work either single or double. Tho man wanted to know how much the gentle- men were willing to pay for a bay gelding of this description. Some one on the outer edge of the crowd said, \Ten dollars.\ At this the man on tho box grew quite indignant He asked if the other man wouldn't like a silver mounted harness and a lap robo thrown in, \Fifteen said another irian. Somebody else sold \Twenty an- other manjaid \Twenty-five and still another \Thirty.\ Then there Was a hitch. The man on the box began to talk very fast indeed. \Thutty thutty, tbutty, thuttyl Bo I bear the fire? Tiratty, thatty, ttffit- ty, thutty. Will you make it five?\ \Thirty-five said a red faced man who had pushed his way to the front and was looking Skipper ovec-sknrply. The man on the box sold \tThutty- five!\ a good many times and asked i f he \heard forty,\ ' Evidently he did not for he stopped and said very slow- ly nnd distinctly, looking expectantly around: \Are you all done?

A stage manager, for instance, may interpolate' iaffia speeehes ia order te work up to the Introduction of a song or specialty, or he may strengthen the climax by putting in some new and strong lines. Often these Interpolated lines prove to be the most striking In the play and make decided hits. If they are left In when the manuscript goes back to its owner, they become his property ab- solutely and may not be Used by the man who wrote them in any other pro- duction; therefore shrewd manngers, before they return a play to its owner, always take great pains to erase every scrap of correction or Interlineation.
