| CLEARED AWAY. The cloud of dust that

days, has cleared away and no longer an

leys mad ride He was at his ranch ten
miles up the river, attending to various
matters, and presently intimated that he
! wanted 10 see Hugh Cave one of his
neighbOrs. Somebody suggested that Cave
! had passed in his wagon short time be
fore, with his wife and others, on his way
! to town. Merkley announced that he
thought he could oyertake him, and hastily
! finishing his business at the ranch he
i started in pursuit Ordinarily he drives at
pretty stiff gait, but on this occasion
being turned loose. In course of
! time he came in sight of
a cloud Of dust, surmised that it was made
by Caves team, and at the next turn of the
road, catching sight of the wagon ahead of
him, yelled out " Hold ON y Cave looked
back, saw team of horses on the run and
a driver gesticulating wildly, while u hoarse
voice broke upon his startled ear. seeming
20 say Go on ~ He didn't stop to dwell
upon the order of his going but put the
silk to his team and urged them along at
break-neck speed to keep out of the way
of what he considered must be runaway
behind him. Pursued and pursuer tie v
along the road, Merkley bound to catch up,
and yelling for Cave to stop, while the lat
ter construed the shouts to be those of
warning TO clear the road, and his
good team did their level best while the
occupants OF his vehicle saw with dismay
that the runaways were closing up the dis
lance. A couple of miles from where the
wild race commenced road turned off into
a farm yard, and Cave turned into it.

and, as he looked at his painting horses, he
remarked, at seems to me you're in a
hurry this morning.
METROPOLITAN THEATER-" Paintin' 'er
Red . was played last night by Alma Stuart
Stanley and company, the prices being 10
and 30 cents. The leading lady was suffer
ing from tonsilitis, and consequently could
not sing effectively. In her Japanese dance
she was best. Her costuming throughout
was fine, and her posing very graceful. For
the others of the company, the Hclay |
brothers are very fine contortionists. and |
gave some remarkably good examples OF
the possibilities of physical culture Frank !
Wright is q good comedian, and gave an |
excellent imitation of Henry Irving. Be
yOnd this, there is little acting worthy of |
special mention. The piece is without a |
particle of literary merit, and has not even
the saving grace Of originality. Wit was |
expected in it, but it is 4 scarce article in |
" Paintin 'er Red On what the play has |
managed to gain credit, resides III the third |
act, which is simply variety performance
by some clever people. A matinee at half |
prices to-day, a performance tonight and |
the last one tomorrow night. The Charley |
Reed Ministries are announced for the lat |
ter part of next week.
