When Nicoll had gone, Walt stood with his head 'pressed against the glass of his window, g to think & way nm‘qz&hfiaflnfl: in which he and’ Jaliet Wwife'groping away from each othex. His brain was numb; his -head Yeas in a'fever. Life was playing - cat-and-mouse ‘ with: him and Janet. Humility," self-contempt, self- reproach brought. him no relief. They were not' sincere: with” him. He did not know wherein he had gone wrong: any miore'ithan he could'see ‘wherein Nicoll was at fault.; There'seemed no one to'.blame) for the situation any more than for & storm .at see. A knock on'the door went unheed- ed. The dcor'opened and he heard some one enteri his room.' It -was Lucy, her face ‘rosy- from ’/ a quick walk from her | studio across the square. > Walt knew by the step it'was she. “He did not feel in'the mood for explanations andiwould not have. giv- en any. 'But Lucy ' asked’ him no questions; there was mno need for them.: She;followed her instinct and simply proposed :work. 'Taking - out some sketches from her portfolio she laid them on the table. With a few tactful words she got his mind to work, and off his tormenting dilémma. Only vaguely consclous of some- thing wrong, so absorbed did he grow in his work that hours passed before the matter they had to settle for the printers was fully attended to. Then with the closing of Lucy’s portfolio as she put in her sketches, came back the full weight of his troubles from his spirit. ‘With their leaving would go their kindly protection. ‘He dread- ed being alone. It only there were something he could do, no matter how hard, that would help solve Janet's problem! Over and over Walt .groaned at ' the leaden weight so new to him—the consciousness of helplessness. He was not .even aware that Lucy had not gene, as his thoughts flew back again to their brooding. < “walt, I don’t want to rush you too much with .the book,” Tacy said, studying him quietly “but if you are in the mood for it, I'd like to talk over the next two, or three pictures for your book. Would you care to have a chop with me up at the studio and talk it over?” ‘Work! As though it had the heal- er's touch, the thought of it came like balm to him. “Yes, yes, indeed, laicy! I want to plug at that book Just as hard as I.can, as hard as you are willing to do 1t!” he arled gratefully. ‘“Then you'll have to keep at it pretty steadily, Walt,” Lucy said. “Be- oause I'm in a perfect stew to get that book done and another one started. I've known nothing for years and years so blessed to me as this work we are doing!” ‘That’s the way I feel about it, too, Lucy!” Walt sald earnestly. They went out shopping for chops, salad and little cakes for their din- ner, talking all the time of nothing but the work they had in common. Lucy did this from choice; Walt out of instinct for self-preservation from the canker of brooding. They cooked and ate their dinner together in Lucy’s studio, never ceas- ing to speak of their work. Lucy al- ways struck sparks from Walt’s mind and he, in his turn, fed her imagin- ation. They outlined the rest of ‘Walt’s book; and accumuluted themes for a new one. And they sketched out rough ideas for Lucy's illustra- tlons. When late that evening, Luoy showed signs of physical tiredness, Walt no- ticed it with a sort of tender gratitude for what she had done for him. With- out her, that day would have beén one of torment only. With her aid, it had berne fruit and made him forget. Not for one instant did Lucy speak | - either of herself or of him aside from their work. So true had been her in- stinct, so sure her touch, that she reaped her reward, as she saw it, sooner than she had dared to hope. ‘Walt got up as soon as he realized that Lucy must be tired. He had gone to the door, and she had accompanied him, still talking of work, when sud- denly, without warning either to him- | self or to her, Walt found himself with his arm about Lucy. “You're a wonder and a dear! Good night, little comrade!” he said and kissed her. Then without another word he left. WINTER COZINESS IN THIS SHAPE: FOR TRAVELERS.

In the good old pioneer days of this country, when drug stores were few, grandmother’s root and herb remedies to bring relief ‘for family ailments, and some. of grandmother’s root and herb remedies are now found upon the shelves of the modern drug store, and are among .the best and most widely used prepared medicines.

Although not billed as the headliner, Snyder carries the brunt of the work feature of a fairly good show. Ed- mond Hayes, who is signalizing his return to the burlesque stage this sea- son, is’ rather overrated when the work of his side partner is taken into consideration although as the “Piano Mover and the Wise Guy, probably gets all that is poss of the part. The female soloists have plenty of catchy roar a with word and is easily the ble out of the troup songs on | larity, but with the exception of Dode | | Hyck, a member of the chorus, who is forced to respond to several encores | for her rendition of “Suawanee Riv- nothing that would create a ered. Miss Cecil, who the prima donna, is not. mond, as a French maid, dances well essays to be but her singing is in line for improve- * ment.

As a matter of fact there is a superabun- danoe of situations that compel what | might be fittingly called “gripping” | attention. If there is any fault to i find with the play it is that there is not enough, or any, comedy relief. { There can be no adverse oriticism of the manner of presenting the vehicle made famous by Mrs. Fiske. In their third week at the local theater the Naylor. Players show a versatility that is encouraging. Miss Virginia Perry, Philip Quin, Orrin Burke and Ralph Murphy play the four leading parts in the drama from the pen of C. M. 8. McClellan. Miss Perry in the title Tole has an emotional part which she plays with ,axceemng cleverness. She is the | daughter of a thief, the cleverest af {all the thieves in Paris, and he; teaches his daughter the intricacles of the high art of pilfering. As the father, Orrin Burke, rises to majes- tic heights. The Lyceum stage has { witnessed some heavy parts played by old time ‘“heavies,’ but Mr. Burke this week gives an exhibition of the: good old days when elocution was | held sacred. Tt is doubtful if he has reached such heights in any previous, j attempts here. As an exact antithesis of the part plaved by Mr. Burke, Philip Quin presents the character of | the gaodly gentleman who saves Leah Kleschna fromn her wicked environ- !ment. Occupying the stage during the, | ntajor portion of the actlon M| i Quin goes through several long| | speeches without even the slip of a {tongue. And, this is notably true of! !the greater number of the players,| !who, different from many stock| players, have learded the art of pre- i senting a well balanced play on the ifirst night. Ralph Murphy who scored mnotably in his first two weeks has not such a highly important part this week, but ,in the character “Schramm” has a chance to step aside | from the regular routine of American men. As an accomplice in crime of {the ald and more seasoned ‘‘Kleschna' | Mr. Murphy portrays the one trace of ! human kindness that makes black sin somewhat whiter, “Leah Kleschna” is a play out of the ordinary. As presented by the Navlor Players it is worthy of atten- tion. The stage appointments, too, are very well selected, and the draw- ing room scene in the second and third acts are admirably painted and set. Aside from the four lcading characters in the play there are nine others that have much to do with the action. These for the most part are in capable hands. Hspecially is this so in the case of Miss Margie Dow who plays the part of an old | mother. and Harry K. Hamilton, wha is cast as the villian drafted from the ranks of society, Mr. Hamilton {should probably have heen mentioned | hefore. His work is very good. al-| though the character of it will not | | warrant him any especial applause | ! from an audience that appreciates the wickedness of a dved-in-the-wool ! villlan, which, is another way of say-| ing that Mr. Hamilton is exceedingly | good. Hisses are the highest pralse an actor playing such a role can ex-| pect. Others who have to do with the presentation of this play are Miss Dorothea Antel, Miss Trene Antel, Fred Cleveland and Victor Beecroft.

Music predominates in the vaude- ville offerings for/ the week. One of the best numbers coming under a mueical classification is the offering of Magda Dahl, an operatic singer of marked talent, and Signor Collastanti, assisted by their Itallan® musicians. Then there is The Killarney Four, which includes a harpist, a "cellist and vocalists. This combination makes an exceptionally fine organization and the act presented is of an unusually high order.

The husband in this case really felt a little hurt, thought it showed some lack of heart on his wife's part, but T think it is just the stirring of some strange protective instinct, the same that teaches the mother bird to be both mother and father when the father is killed. As for hard heartedness,—there wasn't a smitchel of that because When she talks about her husband's | death she doesn't any more take in the thought of it, sense it, than if such a thing weré impossible, We none of us do when we speak | of such things.
