turn back. Again Fahner plead for his life.
ana protested that the farther side of the
rocky mountain ridge sloped gradually
down into Grimsel pass, and that the
route across 1t was so far above the Grim
sci that the French could move unobseryed
until they reached within rifle range of the
guardians OF the defile. Once more the in
trepid trcnchmen essayed the task, and
struggled on for an hour over the slippery
terraces OF the Rhone glacier, and at last
stood at the base of the mountain, whose
rock strewn sides with frequent precipices
seemed to deny foothold even to the MIN
bic mountain goat For the third time the
soldiers refused to proceed, and again
Fahner begged on his knees for his life.
He could speak nothing but German, and
his excited and vigorous gestures NAV
have been more powerful than mere words,
for with his hands he pointed out the crags
and ridges over which he would lead up to
The very Summit. The officers at length
quoted the men, and after two hours
climb the whole body stood together on the
western crest of the Naegelis-Graetli, look

They could see the native riflemen at the
crossing and the Austrian detachment
along the Grimsel slopes and at the top of
the pass, all Of them between their own
lofty mountain position and the main
French column, which was drawn up on a
plain just across the Aar from the pass
The appointed hour had come and all
was ready. The vanguard of the French
advanced from the plain along the narrow
pathway leading to the bridge in single
file, and the foremost men tumbled head

time was lost after the details were
settled upon. At 3 O'Clock next morning
the French troops were on the march up
the Aar valley heading for the slaughter
pen the Austrians had prepared for them
in the pass. At daylight 300 light troops
separated from the column and were
guided by Fahner across the Aar to the
Austrian side, and then skillfully led under
rocky headlands, through low underwood,
and along icy gorges in course at right
angles with the river and the route oil the
main column. The sharpest caution was

Mr.. Daly's monologue on love was particu-

of Miss Florrie West and her singing were
very much appreciated, and so were the solos
OF Miss Adele Estee. The clever dancing of
Amiee Angeles, the youngest and most grace
full premier danseuse on the stage in this coun-
try, was applauded to the echo. The other

original and excellent cast. The dramatization
brings out clearly Dumas sensational story,

most perfect model and poses with rare grace

new play during the season will receive
proper attention to dress and scenic effects,

ga HIGH ROLLER"
Famous Hermann Performs at the New
National Albaugh's Presents the
Roaring Comedy. ~ and I"-Good
Shows at the Lyceum and Bijou.

The regular season at Albaughs Grand
Opera House opened most appropriately and
auspicuously last week, when that truly great
tragedienne, Janauschell, appeared for the first
time in three years before Washington au-
dience. Heretofore she has generally favored
the theatre-goers of this city with repertory
of her strongest presentations, but last week
she confined herself to a single play. "The
Harvest Moon'' is q romantic drama of con-
siderable interest. Its plot is well conceived
and effectively told despite number of
glaring inconsistencies in the makeup of some
of the characters and their relations with each
other, and while it affords sufficient scope
for the exhibition of Janauschek's emotional
powers and the more delicate touches of her
art it fails to satisfy the auditor who looks for
that great tragic force which seems to belong
to her name alone among all the actresses of
the present day.
Had Janauschek the support of such
actors and actresses as comprise the Ly-
seum or Madison Square companies she
could make ''The Harvest Moonn one of the
pronounced successes OF the season. AS it is,
many of the best effects of the play are lost
through the inefficient handling of parts.
With the exception of Mr.. A. II. Stuart as
ReU. Horace DeerUoOd, and Miss Jessie Bon
stelle as Clara, the several roles of the sup
port were indifferently handled. Mr.. George
r. Boaler was stiff and impassive as Sir Charles
Gordon, Mr.. James NJ. Martin as DR.. Grimes
was boisterous and unnatural; Mr. P. r.
Everton as Tony Harrington was unduly
facetious; Mr.. Paul Davis as Simon Snipe eX-
aggerated his comedy into burlesque and Miss
Annetta Vance as Blanche savored too largely
of the school-room in her defamation. Such
defects, of course, mar the general autonomy
of the performance to large degree, but
