THE SHINING TALENT.

CHAPTER XXI.

The

charming thing about Molly's speech was the naivete of it It wasn't properly a speech at all. But a spontaneous little cry, as sla- cere as her sparkling eyes. As un studied as the rakish angle of her demure pearl cap.

Then Francesen Glascow, with her arms full of white orchids, made a studied speech. Miss Glas- cow had had curtain calls before, and so she did it very well indeed.

When she was through, they call- ed for the producer.

All in all it was a very large evening. There is not apt to be another like it in Broadway anals for a long, long time.

After the performance Mr. Dur. bin was giving a supper party for Molly. He had invited her parents, and included Jack, at her sugges- tion. Red Flynn was to be there, and the stars of the play. There were also to be a few newspaper people, and some more, friends of Mr. Durbin's..

Molly had asked Jack to bring her father and mother back after the play. Now she waited for them eagerly.

Sho wished her father had worn evening, clothes, and that heri mother had at least bought a new wrap.

Sho wondered if Jack could have been ashamed of them. But noho knew better than that. Besides, nobody could ever be ashamed of her father-not if he wore overnils. His speech was col- loquial, and he looked exactly like what he was. A bit untutored per- haps, and unpolished. He even m.de grammatical mistakes, though he really knew better. Quite the sort of man smart move- lists poke fun at. But Molly loved him with all her heart.

Molly's mother was better edu. eated than her father. She had been to normal school, and studied elocution and piano.

That was why it annoyed Molly to have her wear little white net gulmpes under her dresses.

It wouldn't hurt her a bit to have had a new dress for to-night, and to have coaxed Dad into even- Ing clothes. He'd have worn. them, too, if she'd asked him. And he'd have been tickled to death if she'd bought a whole new outfit. He'd love to have her dress up. I know he, would."
