36 THE MOVING PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE and gave his father a hug then turned to lift Flora from her horse. "Jenkins," he said, as the valet came softly from the house. "Take my father's tilings up to my — your — er — my — er — the room you slept in last night. Hang it all, I don't know what I do mean, but get!" Jenkins "got," glad that there was no more serious demonstration, and Bob turned to his father. "It's all your fault/' he cried gaily. "You gave Jenkins the note asking Mr. Jones to make me work hard." "I'll take the blame," agreed his father, and with that slight explanation everyone was content. It was enough that Bob was Bob, and not the valet. Not so much that they regarded position as that they did not like Jenkins, and it was a happy party that sat at the supper table, while Jenkins mournfully supped in the cook-house and found it hard to get in touch with his fellows. The next afternoon Flora, sitting on the stump beside the water hole, thoughtfully pulled the petals from a daisy and repeated the magic formula. Her face fell as the last petal fluttered from her fingers to the accompaniment of "He loves me not," and in her disappointment she did not hear the light laugh behind her until a pair of strong arms clasped her waist. "Better try it again with another daisy — unless you want to take my word for it," cried Bob. "I think, on the whole, it's better to take my word for it. It saves the daisies and the worry, dear.. It was for me, sweetheart?" For a moment Flora hid her face against his shoulder, then she raised her head and smiled. "Well — it wasn't for Jenkins," she answered, and hid her face again. » MAURICE COSTELLO, whose work as a local favorite for many years in Spooner's stock company, the American stock company, at the Columbia Theatre, the Yorkville stock company of Manhattan and Boyle's stock company of Nashville, Tenn., has brought him into eminence as a leading man both in juvenile and heavy characters, has distinguished himself as a star and feature of the "life portrayals" which have made him known in all quarters of the globe. His characterizations always show a masterful appreciation of the requirements that bear the impress of genius peculiar to the moving picture star; nofceable instances of which are seen in his portrayals of the actor in "Through the Darkness," "Orestes," "Electra," and "St. Elmo" in the "life portrayal" of the same name. He will perform a most wonderful impersonation of Sydney Carton in the production of "The Tale of Two Cities," which is in process of construction. (See page 2.) *:
