denied admittance and broke open the

into house of bad repute. She got her
daughter TO return to her home, but
DaVey made it so uncomfortable for them
that they had to remove to Sixteenth

kill her unless she allowed her daughter
to go with him again. Alliene is hand
some girl and is a variety actress

meet with favor. 1t will empower him

the route to deliver mail at any place
or to any person along the line when
1t appears that such delivery will hurry

The agents will also have the liberty
of going off the beaten track if by so
doing they. can reach more quickly

In addition to this discretion McGrath
will be required to make observation Of
and report upon his return all matters

KELCEY MONKEYED
WITH A NIGHT CLERK
HOW AN ACTOR GOT THE BUTT
END OF THE JOKE.
Ordered Wine He Did Not Want and
VIII Pay the Price He Did
Not Reckon.

All but one Of the members of the KEEL
cey-Shannon company now filing an
engagement at the Columbia Theater are
enjoying the aftermath of a joke per-
,petrated on the solitary exception 10 their
mirth. The exception is no less a per
sonege than Herbet Kelley himself. who
occupies the biggest line on the pro-
gramme. He is the victim and is yet
struggling TO unload the horse that is on
him.
The joke was perpetrated a few nights
ago at the Palace Hotel. Kelley has
stopped az that hosiery SO often that he
Is well known 10 all the attaches. The
night in question. upon his return from
the theater, he remarked to the night
clerk, as he took the key to his room.
Send quart Of extra dry to my room. 80
He intended the remark TO be faceuous,
the humor consisting in the fact that
Kelley is an abs amer and knew that the
night clerk knew it. He did not know,
however, that the night clerk was also d
humorist. He discovered it later.
No sooner had Kelceys form disap-
peared in the direction of his room than
the night clerk hit upon a plan to have
some run with the actor. Going to the
barrOom. he induced the bartender to fill
an empty champagne bottle with water,
cork II and place it in a silver-plated
bucket and send it, covered with a snowy
napkin. to kelCeys room.

the bellboy entered. the rascal has
taken me at my word. He knew l was
only joking, but l guess III have %

Deep thought wrinkled the actors brow
for a few minutes. Then it cleared up as
a happy idea came along. Swearing the
bellboy to secrecy, he induced him TO
carry the bucket and the bottle. with a
card noting his compliments, to the room
Of Miss Shannon, where he knew that
lady was entertaining several friends.
They'll like a little fiz," thought
Kelley. land the joke will be off me-
The ladies were delighted at the
thoughtfulness Of Kelley and disappoint-
ed at the inspidity of the water they dis
covered later. Not wishing to offend
Kelley whom they knew must have been
the victim Of a cruel mistake. they sent
for the night clerk and explained what
had happened He saw how matters had
turned and. resolved on carrying the Joke
still further. returned to his place. sent
up the real thing as a substitute for the
water and charged it up to Kelley.

wine last night, didn't you?" said Kel-
