The first object that met my view was the
big white mule. and 10 and behold stand
Ing beside him was another one. This was
too much for us. as we were both certain
that there was not white mule or horse
within one hundred miles of us excepting
our own. After a whispered consultation
we deserted our camp and ran up into a
canyon, where we laid until morning partly
sheltered by some oVerhanging rocks, and
anxlously waiting for sunrise to dspei the
apparently supernatural cause of our
fright Laughable, but true. When IL
became light enough to distinguish
objects down near the camp we discovered
the old mule, and after few moments he
was joined by large white horse that
didn't look nearly as ghostly in the rainy
daylight as be did a few hours previously.
We then became ashamed of ourselves and
started down 10 the camp TO investigate.
The while mule was all right, and draw

We approached him cautiously, and soon

sort OF white water paste. the nature of

more myStifed than ever until hunger sug-

the morning meal we missed our bag of
flour, and in hunting for it saw that
it had been dragged from under
the edge of the tent, and trailed down
through some bushes thirty yards away.

was thrown together by Messrs. Reed and

be interesting, therefore. to see what kind

s. The Lost Paradise" is IN many respects
one Of the great plays written by an Ameri-

questions Of capital and labor 10 an effec-

Perhaps no other play has been written
that goes from the atmosphere OF the draw

disturbing the dramatic dignity or the least
lowering he artistic tone Of the performance.
William Morris, the intelligent young actor
who enacted the part OF the cashier IN
" Men and Women," plays the leading role,
while Orrin johnson, Cyril Scott, ". y.
Crompton, Odette Tyler, Maud Adams,

The Maurice Mayer who has come to grief
in London. principally because he did not
have the money to pay Monsieur Coquelin's
salary-about which the celebrated French
actor has kicked as hard as Kentucky

another Mayer altogether unconnected
with the American Mayer. who is product
Of the glorious climate of California.
The first name was misprinted. Our own
Marcus has not been in London for
over year and on these glorious summer
days may be seen promenading Broadway,
his brainy intellect covered with fifty
dollar Panama hat, and himself as jolly as
a boy let loose from school for his yearly
vacation. Our own Marcus never ''goes
broke" TO any great extent and at present
has money to sell, which he has made from
the phenomeDaliy successful season Of
Fanny Davenport, Agnes Huntington and
many other speculations in which he has
had his managerial finger. No indeed our
own Marcus is on top and with Daven-
port. Mrs. Bernard Beere, perhaps Hunt
ington and later Patti, is on the road 10 big
