This time it advanced properly and came to a halt just at the head of the staircase leading up to the entrance to the temple.
"Delilah!" shouted the director, and now appeared a beautiful girl who made a low obeisance to the chief priest.
"Why--goodness me!" cried Patsy.

"It's--it's Maud Stanton!" "Nonsense!" returned Arthur, sharply; and then he looked again and drew a long breath; for unless it were indeed the elder niece of Mrs.Montrose, there must be two girls in the world identically alike.

She's our bright, particular star, you know, and the public would resent it if she didn't appear as the heroine of all our best pictures." "An actress!" exclaimed Arthur.

"I--I didn't know that." "She and her sister Flo are engaged by us regularly," replied Werner, with an air of pride.

"They cost us a lot of money, as you may imagine, but we can't afford to let any competitor have them." If Arthur Weldon felt any chagrin at this, discovery it was not in the least shared by the others of his party.
