Grand theater Monday, |away performances indicate a =(‘ossful week for the troupe. The en- tertainment is somewhat diversified from the brand that has been dis- pensed during the season, the attempt at plot is cheerfully missing this week. The performance is what might ba termed a vaudeville show, with some clever numbers being contributed. Honor for the opening day go to ‘“Toots’ Davis and Ed Stafford, ‘‘the boys with the electric feet,” who sing dance and dispense some original wft. Their contribution of “He's in the jail house now,” goes big. Charlie Mac’'s work was good, his portrayal of an inebriated individual being his best contribution. Minni (Buddie) Harrison occupies the prin- cipal role in the female cast, while Pam *“Smiles’ Lawrence lived up to her name. May Meyers was also ac- ceptable. All thht could be got out of the comedy roles, was cared for by Dan Evans, Harry Jackson and George Brooks. Al Ricardo, after playing'the part of a lion, puts on a ventroliquist act that get a well deserved hand. The settings for the perférmance are pretty, likewise the chorus. One of the hits of the night was the four seasons and the national holidays, numbers when members of the com- pany were dressed to correspond with lthe day. The benefit performance for Manager Dan J. Scullen next Friday evening promises to attract a large attendance.

Dicky was nowhere to be seen, but Lillian sat in a low rocking chair by my side watching me. As she saw my eyes open she rose qulckly and came to my side. “I was beginning ta think you were one of the original seven,” she said cheerily. “You certainly have been making up for the sleep you lost last night. Do you know it is high noon? Your physician called, but when he saw vou he said under no circum- stances to disturb you, so Jl've been on guard like a watchdog ever since. Now let me take your temperature. If you have none you may have some- thing good to eat.” She took her tiny clinical ther- mométer from its case, shaok it down, ’ What the Delirlum of the Night dipped it into a solution standing in a glass on the table, wiped it with a bit gauze and popped it into my mou “Dicky ?” 1 queried in spite of It. She shook her head reprovingly. “Close vour lips on that and dan't speak again until I take it out,” she said firmly. “Dicky is all right. He held you for nearly two hours last night, fearing you might awaken if he loosened his clasp of vour hand. ‘When you finally relaxed and dropped your hand away from his I sent him ta bed. But he didn't stay there very long, He has gone into the city, but he left a mesage for you that he évould be out on an early ‘train.” I closed my eyes, and the weak tears stole down my checks. All the terrors of the night just past swept over me in unreasoning array. I felt that 1 cou not be sure that Dicky was really’ with me instead of being with Grace Draper as my dream had pictured unless I saw him beside me. Did Dicky Forget? i “See here ,this will never do,” Lillian said sternly, taking the ther- mometer from my mouth and wiping my eves. “You have no tempera- ture, but you soon will have one if vou keep this up, Now tell me what you want to eat and forget the water- works far awhile.” Her brusque words were just tonic I needed. But I could forbear voicing my fears to her. “I had such a terrible dream,” I said apologetically, “ in which Grace Draper and Dicky went off together. It was so vivid that the horror of it is still with me.” “Grace Draper!” she ejaculated, staring at me. ‘Why! whatever put her into yaur head just now?" She broke off abruptly. I picked up her words. “Why just mow?” I asked. ‘No reason”, shie answered quickly. “It seemed so queer for her to have come into your thoughts after she has been out af our lives so many weeks. But dreams are queer things, and to take any notice of them is the most futile of proceedings. I am as- tonished at vou, Madgee!"” She smiled merrily at me, but she did not fool me. I saw that she had seen or heard of Grace Draper re- cently, and that I had startled her with my mention of the girl. I knew, however, that she wauld tell me nothing more, so 1 repressed ¥ anxious curiosity and tried hard to put all morbid doubts out of my mind. But I brooded all the rest of the day over the thing when I was not flinching under the 'pain of the dressing of my burns. I could n.l the not see why it had been necessary for Dicky to go into the city. I knew that his work was not so pressing as to make it necessary for him to leave me after such a mnarrow’ cape as 1 had had, 1 was diverted for a little in the afternoon by the arrival of huge clusters of roses and carnations bear- ing the cards of Robert Gorden, Harry Underwood and Alfred Durkee, our guests at the dinner just before I had been burned. “They’ve bought out the local florist, evidently,” Lillian said, when she was trying to make a place for them all. The flowers and the thoughts for me that they evidenced pleased me greatly, so when Dicky came back and up to my room with not a ulnlgl|: el cs- blossom in his hand for me I decidedly ill used. “Better, svwggtheart?” he asked _hurriedly, kissing-me, and .then turn- 1017, Theatergoers and Women | .
