room OF Aubrey's country house in Sur.
rey. They are seated at the table.
Aubrey is full fed, and beaming with
domestic happiness. He is reading his
mail. Paula Is rather carelessly dressed
10 loose breakfast gown. She is lean
ing back listlessly in her chair. A
coffee cup is half raised tc her lips. She
forgets to drink and sits there holding
it while the clock ticks of the slow
minutes that arc all just alike. Upon
her face is the WEAKNESS OF thousand
years OF virtue. I have never seen

Nethersole expressed it in that long,
heavy silence. Finally Aubrey looks up
with his nice. good natured smile.
Aubrey-"Sunshine! Spring.

Aubrey-"Six minutes?"
Paula-"Six minutes, Aubrey dear,
since you made your last remark
These dear people thought they had a
life time OF things to tell each other, but
before they have been married a year.
their remarks are six minutes apart.
Paula is bored to extinction. she is not
willing to pay the price Of responsibility.
and she is unatle to endure the stupidity
Of respectable people. She has not the
slightest desire to return to her old life,
but she is frantic from the monotonv OF
her present one. She is furiously jealous
Of Aubrey's affection for bis pious young
daughter, Elleap, and exaggerated and
hurt by Elleans coldness toward her.
Ellean has from the first felt instinc.
lively that there is something wrong
about her stepmother, and has repulsed
her. Paula fancies that if only che
could get this chilly little primrose
OF a girl to trust her, it would some
how come out all right. She says to

great trouble. Since then l haven't

berg. A respectable lady comes to call,
and to apologize for not having called
before. Paula treats her with the most
atrocious impudence. 1t is arranged
that Ellean shall 60 to Paris with this
respectable person. Paula is cut to the
quick at Ellesn's being sent away from
her. and insists upon inviting some OF the
gay people OF her old world down to see
her. Aubrey refuses to permit it, and
the act ends in q domestic thunder
storm. "Be careful what you say to me
now" says Paula, II have only felt like
this once before in my life. be careful
what you cay to me-"
In the third act the gay people have
come, and Paula losthes them even
more than sbe does the respectable
people. She hates their slang, their
bad manner and bad grammar, their
loud clothes and the perfumes they use.
She has good taste and che likes the

and make her good indeed. Alas! poor
Paula! It would have made no diff
ference. 1t would have cheated her as
did everything else. but IL was the one
thing untried and she could not but
believe that there was help and whole
someness and peace for her somewhere.
Captain Hugh Ardale comes in. Paula
utters cry and sends Ellean away.
They both wander up aud down the
room muttering helplessly. The hor.
ror OF the situation completely upse.s
them. The dialogue is short. sharp,
broken, incoherent and mastery.

II Aubrey had beaten her like nav

HOT AFTER TOD"
English Papers Continue to Willy
the Little Jockey.

London, June 2O.-The newspapers are
insisting that TOD" Sloane. the Amer
lean jockey, in spite of his denials, is the
man who assaulted the waiter ut Ascot
Thursday. The Evening News Is indig-
nant at the fact the jockey club has APP
parently decided to let the matter drop
and is stirring up public feeling against
him. The paper says:
"The English jockeys, by their bshav-
ior and general bearing, have succeeded
during the last 20 years in totally alter
ing their social status, and 1t is hard lines
on them that foreigner should come to
England and bring disgrace on the pro-
fesslon without any official notice being
taken of it.
"rhe next time Sloane appears on a
race course he will learn what the public
think of him. The fact that he denies
what so people witnessed may display
American bravado, but In no other way
will it better his position"
The Star publishes several abusive let
ters calling him IAN American stable
boy" and "a liliputian Yankee" The
same paper asserts that after careful In
vestigation at was shown that it was
Sloane and no one else who struck thu
waiter with a champagne bottle, com
pletely opening his lip, so that large
portion Of it hung over his mouth"
The waiter is still under the care of {

bank have just brough. suit against
Prince Leopold. ex-hcrcditary prince Of
lsenberg Birstein, who made a tour Of
this country for the purpose Of marrying
an American hciress The suit was
brought on June T. and the papers in the
case let out royal secret which has
tickled the tongue Of gossip.
In fne, the banks allege that they stak-
ed the princelng with fortune Of $780,
900 marks and sent him to this country
to prospect for wife. They expected
him to return with Miss Anna Gould or
Miss Florence Pullman and with for
tune which would erase his own debts,
put his impoverished father on q sounder
basis than he has ever been and assure
a well stocked purse to the Isenbergs for
years to come.
The banks now claim 100000 marks
with interest for six years.
In 1887 the rcigning Prince Carl, hus-
band of Marie Louise, archduchess Of
Austria and princess Of Tuscany, issued
a loan of S1,GOO.OOO at the Frankfort
bourse. Gradual amortization and inter-

his enormous floating indebtedness.
AS soon rs old lsenburg had secured
the big loan he ordered Leopold to quit
the military and go upon tour OF Amer
lea to find wife with money. The sum
of 100000 marks was named as the
proper figure, with like amount to be
set aside as enough for the couple to go
housekeeping on.

Miss Florence Pullman nf acceptable
parties, and when the prince was in this
