I have noticed in a recent issue of your paper that District Attorney Swann has started a police campaign against the ticket speculators in front of the Metropolitan Opera House. Well and good, but why stop there? On Thursday morning of last week I went to the box office of the Metro- politan to obtain two seats for the opening night and two for Thursday evening of this week, I reached the box office about 945 A. M. and was told that there were nothing but box seats for the entire first week. In reaching the walk I was ac- costed by a swarthy, stuttering specu- lator who guided me to his lair di- rectly opposite the Metropolitan exhibited stacks of the choicest seats of the house. I was asked $8 for the $2 seats for the night and $6 a seat for Thursday evening, which, of course, I refused to accept. I was then told, rather blunt:y, that 1 would be a waste of time to try to get them at the box office, as he was the agent for the Opera Company, Becoming interested I inquired fur- ther and was informed by a rival speculator that this concern was not an authorized agent for the Opera Compary but that they had a way of getting seats from the inside, DISAPPOINTED OPERA GOER, Prospect. New York, Nov. 22, 1919, To the Exiitor of The Brening World A loss of more than one billion dollars in taxes; an appropriation of over $10,000,000 to pay the swarm of 30,000 new “inspectors” to enforce the Prohibition Law; the selzure of count- less millions of private property—all these things mean increased taxes and higher prices. A pleasing pros- peet!

Guzman had won Rose's fickle heart and He realized now that he had sought perilous And now ,she had run away with another man, with a Spaniard, one of his dear coun- try’s bitter enemies! A furious yearning for revenge blazed up in the lover's heart. He vowed to search through the whole world until he should find Rose and the man who had stolen her from him. Recruiting a hundred other English lads of courage and purpose, he fitted out a warship and began his quest. News came w him that Guzman had been made Governor of the Spanish fortress-town, La Guayra, in the Caribbean Sea. To La Guayra sailed Amyas Leigh. enduring fearful hardships on the voyage. When at length they cast anchor off La Guayra they found the fortress too strongly defended for them to attack it, Four thousand miles they sailed, So Amyas and his brother Frank went ashore at night by stealth and crept into the garden of Guzman’s palace. While they were hiding there in the shadows, Rose came out into the garden for a stroll. The two brothers begged her to flee with them in their ship, to return to the drowsy old English town where her family still mourned her, Rose was much affected by their pleas, but she would not come away She declared that she loved Guzman better than’ life or friends or home and that she would never leave him.
