ssBeacon Lights, at Ross HobOken
fElAAaIrc.

Theatre.
Beacon Lights" opened a three nights
engagement at the Hoboken Theatre last
night before an audience that rendered it a
decided ovation. In all respects the play is
far above the ordinary. The company is an
excellent one, and the thrilling c1imaxes in
troduced in the plot are clearly and cleverly
interpreted by the artists. The piece is a
drama in four acts, everyone full of realism,
such as the theatre-goer clamors for nova
days. Beacon Lights. : with an abundance
of mirth interspersed, is well up to time,
and is a play that can be enjoyed by every
body. The engagement closes on Saturday
evening, there being a matinee on Saturday.
The performance should be well patronized.
Clio, the fascinating dancer, whose nimble
feet have brought fashionable Boston and
New York to her shine, comes to this city on
Monday next. Comparatively unknown a
short time ago, she has steadily grown in
popularity, until today no dancer on the
stage has achieved a wider or better reputa-
ton. Her efforts are peculiarly her own,
and all her dances, besides being artistic, are
in every way modest. Her movements are a
marvel of grace and beauty, ank place her
in the list with the highest Of modern
dancers. She win appear with Gray 81
Stephens great play, ''Signal Lights" at the
House, for the week of January %.

Canute, and attacked him also.
The greater the danger the greater was
Thor's strength. He was supple as a
willow, and hit out right manfully; he
dived and he ducked: whenever blow
fell It missed him; and when none ex-
pected 1t he would deal a good one. He
stopped down. he sprang on one side
but for all that he got IA terrible thrash
ing. Old Canute said afterwards that
"he had never fought with braver fel-
low" They kept 1t up until blood began
to flow, then Canute cried out: stop!
Then he added In a croaking tone: III
you can get up here next Saturday In
spite OF Canute Husaby and his men the
girl shall be yours"
Thor dragged himself home as best he
could, and when he reached the cottage
went straight to bed. There was a great
deal OF talk about the fight upon Husaby
hill but every one said: why did he 20
there?" Only one person did not say so
and that was Aslang. She had been ex'
pecting Thor that Saturday evening. bul
when she heard what had happened be-
J tween him and her father she sat dowr
and cried bitterly. and said to herself

forward to the edge and twiGed her
arms round n slender birch which hung
trembling over the precipice. and looked
down. But she could see nothing: the
ford lay there calm and at rest: not a

great difficulty In climbing 1t, and they
are not usually afraid OF mountain work.
Saturday came, and Thor went out
early in the morning. The day was most
autiful: the sun shone so brightly that
the very bushes seemed alive. Up on
the mountain many voices were tod
ling" and there was much blowing OF
horns. When evening came he was sit
ting at his cottage door watching the
steaming mist rise up on the hills. He
looked upward-all was quiet: he looked
over towards Husaby farmland then he
jumped into his boat and rowed away
round the point.
Aslang sat before the hut; her days
work was done; she was thinking Thor
would not come that evening. and that
therefore many others might come in
stead, so she unfastened the dog and
without saying anything walked further
on. She sat down so that she could SEQ
across the valley, but the mist was ris-
ing there and prevented her look
ing down, Then she chose another
place. and without thinking more about
II, sat down so that she looked towards
the side where lay the ford: II seemed
to bring peace to her soul when she
could gaze far away across the water.
As she sat there the fancy struck her
that she was inclined to sing. 30 she
chose a song with 'long-drawn notes" "
and far and wide Il sounded through

who kept guard. receiving each one who
came up with such a warm reception
that he all his life long remembered the
words that accompanied the action !:
Come up here again and there will be
still more In store for you!'
All the young fellows could arrive but
at one conclusion: 1nat there was only
one man in he whole parish who had
such fists, and that man was Thor Mes
set. And all the rich farmers daughters
thought Il was too bad that this Gotta
gers son should stand highest in Aslang
Husaby's favor.
O.d Canute thought the same when
he heard about 1t all, and said that II
there were no one else who could check
him he would do 1t himself. Now. Ca
mute was certainly getting on In years;
still, although he was past sixty, he
often enjoyed good wrestling match

There was but one path up to the
mountain belonging to Husaby, and II
went straight through the farm-garden'
Next Saturday evening, as Thor was on
his way to the mountain, creeping care
fully across the yard, hurrying as soor
as he was well past the farm buildings
a man suddenly rushed at him.
"What do you want with me?" asked
Thor and hit him such a blow In the
