He did not dream OF going 10 the hall
himself and seeing his old friends Stein
metz and Neuhcrger. He left the cafe,
and as FIRST move bought an Evening
, World from newsboy and turned ira
! mediately 10 the amusement es,lnfnis.
where he saw tho announcement that
Miss Louise Neville, talented young
artistic, would make her first public ap-
pearance in the United States.
Louise Neville may be Edna Lewis,
| he thought. III is not probable that
she would appear under her own name
orunder the alias adopted by her father.
To settle the question 10 his own satis-
| faction he walked around to the nearest
| florist and bought large bouquet,
Then upon blank card he wrote
with the sincere regards Of an old
| st. Louis friend who has otter enjoyed
| in private the accomplishment that u

Returning to the Morton house he
wrote this letter:

Not long after TINS lie saw his .shitom

Hen5hall had sat through two acts of

Hartman, and, believing that he lad
done his full duty to her, he pleaded the
