It was but natural, therefore, to ask the comedian if he did not feel regreet at shelving the piece which has won him fame and fortune, i Once again it was “Caddy” who turned from the looking glass and said: 3 “Deed Hi does. But Hi won't let myself believe ‘at Him givin’ it up f'r good an‘/all. Hi’ll alle comfort meself wi’ the thought ‘at some day HIM revive hit again, if only fr long enough to ‘av the prime ol’ pal set hup an’ open hit’s peepers an’ ask, ‘W'ere am I?

Hi thinks as much of ‘Cad Hi does, as Joseph Jefferson thinks of ‘Rip, an’ Ht ‘opea the publick will allas ‘av a place in hit's ‘eart fr the bally ol’ rogue.” The Dicky Bird chirped a similar sentiment. ‘The comedian contemplated, almost with tendere ness, the patched and time-stained trousers he has worn as “Caddy” since the night he frst played the “Au revoir,” we sald. if “Hover the subway,” said “Caddy,” rousing hime self, “An’ tlay the skin uv th’ smallest ro herry allas be big enough f'r an umbrelly y'r enemies.” CHARLES DARSTON. $100 $100] HIDDEN- : NAME : ROMANCE; HE GIRb << a IN BbkACK Begins in Monday's EVENING WORLD) $1IOO in Prizes for Readers of This Story, ‘Maude Adams and Other HEATRE-GOPRS have in store; Zit, Nbcat sedictant OF au aeons eee are aut ne, gTalcee 8 ts to retum after an absence of ‘more pas Bik tolloming than a year.
