There is an example of this in George Allan England's + Fecent book, “Isles of Romance.” Down on a barren islet in the Dry Tortugas, that iso- ated group of sand keys a hundred miles from Key ‘West, lic the ruins of Fort Jefferson, built by the U. S. government 75 years ago as the Gibraltar of the Carib- bean. It was a mighty fortress and prison in its day. " although it has long since been abandoned; and Eng- land's book contains a remarkable tale connected with it. After President Lincoln was killed, Booth, the assassin, -* fled for his life despite the handicap of a broken leg. " After traveling some 30 miles he stopped at the house of @ country doctor, one Dr. Samucl A. Mudd, who set | his leg and sent him on his way. | Phe ousdurst of fury that followed the assassination caught Dr. Mudd up as a victim, and the luckless man » Was convicted of being an accessory to the crime and > was sentenced to life imprisonment at Fort Jefferson. At Fort Jefferson Dr. Mudd was treated with fearful | severity. He was kept slaving at mean tasks that ruined * tis health. His quarters were damp and dark, infested with vermin, his food was almost uneatable, his guards ‘were brutal. His whole existence was one long horror. "In the third year of his imprisonment came an epi- demic of yellow fever. It swept Fort Jefferson with ghastly thoroughness. The resident surgeon died. Sol- Giers and prisoners clike fell victims. At one time there ‘was a daily sick list of 500—a good third of the fortress prison’s entire. population! It was here that Dr. Mudd showed a devotion, a hero- _ ism and a humanity that make up for the brutal stu- t Pidity of the rest of the tale. ‘The only physician in the place, he offered to do what he could. For long wecks he werked, on an average, 18 hours a day, treating the multitude of sick and doing his feeble best to fight the dreadful epidemic. Among his patients were the very men who had mistréated him. 4q ‘The organization of the place was so disorganized that he could easily have escaped, any day, to Cuba, where he would have been safe from yellow fever and safe from his brutal imprisonment; but he staycd, living day and night in the vast sick room. And this, remember, was in a day when it was thought that yellow fever was spread by an infection in the air, exuding {rom the bodies of its sufferers! ‘There isn't much more to the story. Dr. Mudd’s work eventually won him a pardon and he returned to his home—broken for life. Today he is forgotten. , But the story is worth recalling. If the stupidity that Yent him to prison is depressing, his own magnificent self-denial and bravery more than make up for it. ionally r, it is The Tragedy of the Theater ‘The theater as inherited from Shakespeare—with from the realm of the spoken drama but merely adapted the latter to ihe changing scene of life—is on “its last beloved legs” in the opinion of Jane Cowl. Miss Cowl speaks with the authority of long connection with the stage. Moreover, her views rather coincide with a sus- Picion which the entire country has entertained as it has viewed the almost complete disappearance of the road shows in the hinterlands and the ascendancy of the Movies to the point of almost complete monopoly of the stage with the advent of successful talkies. way has remained phenomenally the lieu of the spoken @rama while the provinces abdicated.

A woman I've known for years; she'd kiss me just as readily at Times Square.” Helen smiled, thinking, but not caring enough to say it aloud, that the caress had not been too casual to inspire response. Brent seemed to catch her thought, “Certainly I kissed her,” he ad- mitted hastily. “But it was just a gesture, of the kind any man of the world makes.
