pool upon whose banks her hut was
placed.
Look" she sad simply.
Following tha1ine Of her outstretched
hand Hadden's eyes fell upon two with
cred m!mosa trees which grew over the
faI almost at right angles TO its rocky
edge. These trees were joined togeth-
er by a rude platform made Of logs of
wood dashed down with riemS of hide.
Upon this platform stood three figures,
and notwithstanding the distance and
the spray of tbs fall he could see that
they were those OF two men and a g.rh
for their shapes stood out distinctly
against the fiery red of the sunset sky.
One instant there were three, the next
there were two, FOR the girl had gone,
and something dark rushing struck the
face CT the fall, striking the surface OF
the pool with a heavy thud, while a
faint and p:t:ous cry broke upon his ear.
What is the meaning Of that?" he
asked, Mortified and amazed.
Nothing" answered the Bee with a
laugh. do you not know, then, that
this IS the place where fatth.ess women,

AS she spoke a sound reached their

Listen repeated the Bee, they are

PASSED AWAY.
"Mattie" Roberts Will Tickle Palates
No More

Mrs. Matilda Roberts has crossed
over the dark river. and no more will
her exquisite dinners delight the pal
ates of those who know what good
cooking Is.
Matte" as those who knew her
called her, was born In Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, and was 63 years old. For many
years she has lived In this city, and
among politicians, newspaper men and
others her fame as q cook was well
known. She had learned the art dur
ing her life In the South, and never al
lowed anyone but herself to prepare the
toothsome yiands that appeared on her
table, and those who once partook of
them always wanted to do so again. She
only served one meal day-dinner-
and those who were not on time at the
appointed hour very seldom found a
vacant seat.
She was very charitable, and al
though she made much money, very
little remained to her in her latter
days, the sick and the poor having re-
ceived most of It. Her funeral will take
place this afternoon from Clark's un-
dertaking parlors.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE Burglar" was splendidly played
at the Opera-house last evening by
the stock company. 1t has never been
better given In this State. 1t was an
ideal performance. The play Is one of
the most charming and romantic. and is
charged to the brim with human inter
est. Mr.. Lonergan as the burglar was
faultless. 1t was an artistic and most
commendable work. Nina Gleason too
left nothing wanting in the trying part
Of the wife with two husbands. Little
Mildred has the star" part however,
and she was as delightfully."- easy, nat
ural and unaffected as anyone could de-
sire. Mr.. Gleason has written into the
play scene not in the original MSS.
which Is all comedy, and is intended to
give Miss Harrington and Mr.. Stewart
opportunity TO amuse and entertain.
and they do 1t with songs and recita-
tions to the delight OF the audience.
Miss Harrington introduced in the
scene an entirely new order of serio-
comic recitative, with accompanying
music. that won her encores in number
1t Is a clever conceit and full of mirth.
THE Burglar" will be played every
night this week. At the conclusion of
the third act last night the first award
OF 300 crayon portrait orders was made
by lot, with the result that these were
the winners: A. Frtedler, 1926 Sixteenth

Republicans contended was true, there
that there were features In the platform

alarmed the friends of social order and
prosperity.

running back scarcely more than a
week that when a Republican ventured
to suggest that these things were mat

OF patriots, he stood in danger Of having
his head snapped off by the indignant
Bryanites, and was told that he was
an "old maid" coward" and a fool, :"
that the platform meant nothing at ALL
