compelled to restrain her mirth.
'Lor' Mr., Briggs!" she gasped,
wiping the moisture from her eyes.

MISSY on us; you ought to put all you
say in the papers-you'd make your

Maybe, maybe, Flopsie," returned
Briggs with due dignity. Il will not

IS wot is required in polite literatoor
Look at 'Hermund' and 'Enery!
Sparkle again,-read their magnificent
productions, the World and Truth

of success, Flopsie-be sparkler, and

Louise Renaud looked across at him
half-defiantly. Her prim, cruel mouth
hardened into hard line.
To spark-el?" she said-that is
what we call etinceler eclatere' Yes

But one must be very good jewel to

And she nodded a great many times,
and ate her salad very fast. Briggs
surveyed her with much complacency.
You are talented woman, Nam
selle," he said, very talented! | admire
your ways-I really do!'
Mamzelle smiled with gratified
air, and Briggs settled his wig, cycling
her anew with fresh interest.
'Wot witness you would be in a
divorce easel" he continued enthusiast
tically. You'd be in your helement!"
Il should should indeed" en-
claimed Mamzelle. with sudden eX-
element then, as suddenly growing
calm, she made rapid gesture with
her Lands-"Bpt there will be no di-
vorce. Milford Winsleigh is fool"
Briggs appeared doubtful about this,
and meditated for long time over his
third glass OF port with the profound
gravity of a philosopher.
No. Mamzelle," he said at last,
when he rose from the table to return
to his duties upstairs; No, there | must
differ with you. l am a close observer.
Wotever Winsleigh's faults, and l do
not deny that they are many,-he is a
gentleman-that | must admit-and
with hevery respect for you, MAN.

So saying Briggs betook himself
to the library to arrange the reading
lamp and put the room in order for his
masters return. and as he did SO, he
paused TO look at fine photograph of
Lady Winsleigh that stood on the oak
escritoire opposite her husbands arm

No" he muttered to himself. "Wot
ever he thinks of some goings-on. he
amt blind nor deaf-that's certain.
And I'd stake my character and per-
sonal reputation on it-wotever he is
he's no fool!"
For once in his life, Briggs was
right. He was generally wrong in his
estimate of both persons and things
hut il so hammered on this Darticular
occasion that he had formed a per-
fecuy correct judgment.

CHEATED HIS PARTNER
But Atlee Cannot Be Convicted of
Grand Larceny

Through a technicality of the law Ed
win Atlee will escape the penitentlary,
richly as he may deserve it. Atlee was
arrested week ago by Detective Good
man on charge of grand larceny His
examination was held before Justice
Morrison yesterday and the defendant
was dismissed on account Of the in"
sufficiency of the evidence.
Several weeks ago Atlee advertised
for partner to go into the business of
buying up old gold. Some one with
small capital which could be invested
was required. A man named John c.
Anderson responded. The proposition
was explained to, him and appeared very
alluring with the representations of
quick profits which were made. The
two entered into a partnership and
contract was drawn up. Anderson put
$40 into the company's funds and AtleI
looked outefor investments. But returns
were slow and the air castles which
Anderson had built on what he expected
to do with the profits of the enterprise
soon began to topp1e. Atlee came to him
with continual stories of bad invest
ments. At last he began to suspect that
his partner was not giving him square
deal and asked for an explanation Final
ly he came to the conclusion that Atlee
was Systematically defrauding him,
and then swore out warrant for his
arrest. The case is more properly one of
embezzlement, and it was impossible to
make the grand larceny charge stick.
The prosecution attempted to show that
Atlee's intention from the first in adver-
tising for a partner had been to find
some one whom he could defraud, but
as the specific charge was one of grand
larceny the evidence was not of such a
character that the prisoner could be
held. Atlee has been into other scrapes
of this kind. 1t is understood that a
charge of ,embezzlement will now be
brought against him.

The performance given at the Los An
geles theater last evening was good, bad
and Indifferent by turn. Miss Effle
Elaine Hext has been heralded as a
Shakespearian scholar and entertainer
the latter she is in a way, the for.
mer she most certainly-is not, from any
evidence given last night. The potion
scene from Romeo and Juliet was pre-
ceded by a scene from one of J. M. Bar
rie's Thrume Stories and later in the
program Miss Hext attempted mono
logue, when Jack Comes Late" by
Bergen. In all of them her reading was
stilted, artificial, declamatory and melo-
dramatic, rather than dramatic Her
voice carries we'll and is musical, but ex-
cept now and then, it was not put to its
best use as expressing the spirit of what
she read. The Scotch in the Barrie num-
Der was open to criticism, both action
and reading in the monologue were un-
natural and forced, and the scene from
Juliet was frankly and unequivocally
bad all through.
OF the statuesque posngs in Greek
costume with which Miss Hext closed
the program, much more in praise may
be said. Her motions were graceful, her
facial muscles as we'll as those of her
body was under perfect control,
and her representations of forty five
human emotions were as cleverly done
as was possible. Against a black back
ground. and with appropriate music for
an accompaniment, Miss Hext, in a cos-
tune of white with fillets of white in her
hair somewhat redeemed the unfortun-
ate impression made earlier in the even
ing.
Far and away the best violinist that
has been here since Ysaye left two years
ago, is Herr Carl Walther. In vivid con-
trast to the rest of the program he ap-
peared last night for the second time
here, and confirmed the very favorable
opinion he made before. He was down
for three numbers, but was insistently
recalled after each, and in the six that
he played he had ample opportunity to
show his complete mastery over the vio-
lin, and he did it. .-tc
In De Beriot's Scenes de Ballet" in
some Gypsy Dances by Sarasate, and
in the "Obertaes," a mazurka by Wine
iawski which was one of his encores,
Herr Walther displayed spirited pre-
cision of attack, expert bowling. clean
execution and very brilliant technique.
In his first encore, Schubert's "Sere-
made" in his third number Leonard 81
Souvenir of Haydn" played without
accompaniment, and in the encore to
that "Traumerei' also unaccompanied,
the tone production wae exquisite, the
nuances those of most con onsummate art.
From the noble deep cello tones to the
singing sostenuto Of the middle register,
and on UP to the harmonics, Herr Wal
ther's performance was, all through,
satisfying and thoroughly artistic.
The Accomplishments of Mr. Holub
were acceptable, but his capacity as a
soloist could hardly be Judged on the
piano that he used last night.
