Police Superintendent ODonnell yesterday
received word from the chief of police of Pitts
burg to be on the lookout for two confidence
men who had robbed farmer of Washin ston

ton sent tallies precisely with that of the two
men who held up old farmer McClintock, of
Bartholomew county, couple of months ago,
and robbed him of $4,000. The mode of
procedure was also exactly the Same as in the
McClintock case.

ENGLISHS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES B. MANTELL.
An audience fattering to the popularity of Mr..
Mantell gathered at English's Opera house last
night to witness his initial appearance in this
city as star, in his new play, Tangled Lives"
For the play itself little need be sa6 it being of
the regulation society drama, with the usual
plot OF the matter at hand Mr.. Mantell made
the most possible, and was the recipient of
hearty applause. He is forceful and graceful
actor, imbued with due appreciation of the
part devolving upon him. and was instantly in
tent on bis work, never for a-<saoment
losing sight of his purpose. AS the leading gen
tleman in support of Fannie Davenport he won
great popularity here. and it is to be- regretted
that the conditions of his appearance on this
occasion were not quite SO favorable.
leading lady, Miss Eleanor Carey, doing some
very good acting as Helen Rathbourne, char
acter unreieved by any good features such as
might easily have been introduced without
marring the effect of the play. Mr. Nelson
Wheatcroft. as Mr.. Howson, was very good, and
sustained his part very creditably and to the
satisfaction Of the audience. The remaining
people in the cast had little to do, with the ex-
cepton of Miss Shannon. and got through with
it In good style There was lacking in the play
much opportunity for the display of energy and
Intensity of feeling 1t is not fair, however to
criticise the production too severely on account
of the fact that Mr.. Mantell is in il, for it is as
good as such dramas usually are. and would pass
without criticism were it presented by any actor
of less ability than Mr.. MantelL 1t was
evident that the people were pleased last night
and the prospects are that Tangled Lives" will
continue 70 draw large houses during the re-
mainder of the engagement

All this was alarming to Sophia. She was
not the girl to give way to covetousness at
time like this; but who, without uneasiness,
could face the prospect Of supplies perhaps
suddenly cut of at the most trying junctureI
As to herself, Sophia did not feel much
anxiety. Had Percival continued true q
her, how gladly she would have put any fa' 1,
tune she might have inherited into his hantll
to repair his loss, but now she was not iF
terested enough in life to fear poverty. Be-
yond care for her mother she imagined there
was nothing to live for. She had tried even
after Mrs. Hands visit to disbelieve the re-
ports which had seemed so fatally authenti-
Gated; but the very next day Sibyl told her
that she, too, had heard from another quarter
the most Indifferent account Of Percival. At
this Sophia became hopeless. It was curious
that the only person to whom she said any
thing about her trouble was Prendergast
Whatever had passed at the time of his pro-
poSal had set up something like an intimacy
between them; and one day when he called,
noticing that she looked pale, he made some
remark upon the trial her mothers illness
must be-
at is not, mamma" she replied that I
could bear; but oh, feel so weary and sickl
have heard such dreadful things about the
man I believed loved me- Have you heard
anythingl Oh, do you believe it alll"
II am afraid Brent has forgotten himself"
Prendergast replied gravely, and said no
more
Meanwhile her sisters, with the above ex-
ception, maintained on the subject All omin-
GUS and dreary silence; and her mother,
whom she carefully kept in ignorance of the
'eports never mentioned Percival's name.
So poor Sophia, with her broken hopes, went
her dull round from day to day, nursing her
mother and communing with her own sad
heart and there was not one ray of cheerful
ness in her life. She grew pale and worn;
and though she tried to be cheerful, every
one could see that care was eating her spirit
and strength away. Certainly the constrast
of her appearance with that Of Caroline, or
even with that of Sibyl, was a warning
against living for an idea in this worldly
world. The other sisters might not indeed
have grasped the whole substance-in this
life wIo doesf But Sophia's very shadow
had vanished away, and she was quite alone,
and destitute not only Of pleasure but Of illu-
sion, too

''Look in another day." Sophia said me

Poor Sophia stood silent, just where Mrs
Hands left her, still holding the hateful
paper which had stabbed her to the heart
She was numb and stupid with the blow

gladly she would have pleaded it before her
own Judgment now. Had she been married
to him she might have disappointed his ex.
pectation, and so driven him to other women
for pleasure. Had they even been meeting
occasionally she might not have been warm
enough, charming enough; twenty excuses
might have been urged on his behalf Now
the fault must have been all his own. She
had kept her vow and had found the joy Of
her life in keeping it. If any doubt of him
had crept into her rlind at times she had re-
buked it instantan sously With her whole
soul, morning, noon and night, and with an
almost religious purctuality she had cher
ished his memory, eno.rcling it with her
warmest memories and her purest prayers
And here he was exchanging her love for the
favors of an actress, who sold her smiles with
as quick an eye to profit as a shopnlan sells
his wares. The downfall of Sophia's hopes
was complete. The most refined ingenuity
could not have discovered more perfect and
total form of torture. Her whole life was
turned into a wilderness. Her mother was
right. Better live for the world, better marry
for money, better lay hold of material com.
fort and the pleasures of sense and fashion.
These had no power to break and crush the
heart like lofty ideas refuted by reality, and
devoted hopes rushed by hard fact. With
all these thoughts whirling through her brain
in a struggling crowd, Sophia stood on, stony
and fearless, in the center of the room until
suddenly the d ior was thrown open, and
Mrs. Temples p aid came flying in with her
