Opera House, E. II. Sothern, who has
achieved such a triumph In the new ro-
mantle drama, "An Enemy to the
King" will present this beautiful play
of romance, love, valor, sacrifice and

spirit, and everything is bright and
pretty about the piece; in music, songs,
dialogue, scenery and costumes, all the
characters are capably represented in
the most desirable way, with the neces-
sary result of rounding all the plays
possibilities. There is hardly a class of
theatre-gOers who will not find plenty
to amuse in AN Enemy to the

woman who assisted DR.. Etwald to

Mrs. Dallas; also that DR.. Etwald is a

I would have had the warrant altered. -

face. 50 you have a warrant for the ar

Yes, but on the charge of stealing

calm and composed, appeared on the
threshold Behind him, over his

look on the doctors face it would APP

ton of the Major and was prepared to
treat it with contempt. That such was

The Major hurried Qf, leaving Isa-
bella alone in the supdmer house. He
walked on slowly, Notwithstanding
that it was past the hour he had APP
pointed to meet Arkel and Etwald.
His thoughts were busy with what Isa-
bella had said concerning David's
knowledge of the trick.
Undoubtedly he believes that Mrs.
.-,allas killed Maurice" thaught Jen,
and that is why he refuses 20 confess
to me. He said that / would be the
first to blame him for telling all he
knew, and so he is under the delusion
that Mrs. Dallas is guilty, understand
now the reason of his silence. Also
he said that he would never marry Is
abelia, which shows that he is afraid
OF becoming the husband of a woman
whose mother has committed a crime.
Poor boy, how he must suffer; and af-
ter all, must say that I approve of his
honorable silence. But!' added the
Major to himself, when he knows
Etwald is guilty, he will then be able
to marry Isabella."
On consideration, Jen thought it
would be best to say something definite
to David about his discovery. If the
young man, from a feeling of honor
towards an unhappy woman, kept 81
lent, the Major was the last person in
the world to tempt him to break it.
Jen decided to merely hint to David
that he knew the truth, and to let the
arrest of Etwald tell its own tale, and
unseal the lads lips, by showing that
Mrs Dallas was innocent. AS Jen
came to this conclusion, he entered his
own gates, and rather to his surprise
he saw David, considerably agitated.

tone, Il know the reason of your sill

"Of my silence?" echoed David.
