AS If under sudden inspiration
Hendricks sprang up, and going to the
bed he pushed aside the silken curtains
OF the canopy, turned down the sheets
and doubled up the mattress. Then he
drew himself up and began to examine
the bric-a-brac about the room. BE
thumped with his knuckles a marble
statue of Venus de Milo in corner, and
then stood still in the center of the
room and stared at the articles of orna-
ment on the mantel-piece. He walked
slowly backward to the doctor and laid
a hand on his shoulder, and pointed to
. large covered japanese vase, shaped
like an ancient urn.
Doctor" he said, '*the man who Sc
lected all the bric-a-brac in this room
did not select that vase"
1T does seem a little out of har-
mony," admitted Lamplin. Rather
cheaper than the rest, don't you think p
1T is disgrace to such collection"
returned the detective, "besides it has
been crowded in between those beauti-
full bronze pieces. Old man, I have an
idea"
Lampkin said nothing as he watched
his friend place chair near the man
tel-piece and mountit. The chair raised
the detective so high that the cover of
the vase was on level with his chin.
Hendricks removed the cover and
looked into the vessel.
Lampkin saw him pick up something
inside the vase, examine it and Law It
back. For moment the detective
stood, his back to the doctor, hand on
either side of the vessel. Then he lift
ed it, cautiously stepped down to the
floor, and placed it on the table.
"Prepare to be Mortified, old man."
he said, grimly. 1T is here"
Lampkin started. "You don't mean"
"You needn't look Unless you want

Lampkin got up and peered into tho

the bed of ashes beneath.

WIDOW BROWN FRIDAY NIGH

OF the many comedies based an compli-
cations rising from the ridiculous incl
dents drawn from mistaken identity,
none appeal more forcibly to the risables
of the average audience than the laugh
able situations involved in 'The Real
Widow Brown" The plot of the play
hinges on the attempt to prevent the
marriage of an old deacon with a de-
signing widow, by his two daughters as
sisted by their lovers. The widow is
about to take charge of the deacon's
household, hoping to win the approval Of
the daughters, when the design is discov-
cred by the young people, who, presum-
ing the widow is only after the old mans
money, determine to put stop to it.
Each pair of lovers, unknown to the 9th
en- go about the task in their own way
and each choose the same method. One
young man impersonates the widow,
while the other impersonates the deacon,
and the many complications arising dur
ing the evolutions of the plot create al
most furor of laughter. The comedy is
as bright as a paper of new pins and
just as clean, not a vulgar or suggestive
word or action to mar am evening Of pure,
wholesome fun. Reserve seats now on
sale, at usual place.

ministry had been distinguished.
When the Catholics Of this country
were attacked by interruptions enemies,
when villainous bigots tried TO crush them
out OF existence, II was Father Yorke who
drove the sewer rats TO their hiding places

For. these services Captain Power be-
heved the Catholics OF San Francisco. es-
pecially the young men. were deeply
nifty In this regard had already been ex-
pressed, said Captain Power. and we
merely wished to emphasize those Of tho
parish.
He congratulated the reverend gentle
man on his safe arrival home and made
him welcome to ST. Peters. and while he
regretted the necessity that compelled
their beloved Father Casey TO leave them
for while, he could not but rejoice that
Father Yorke had been chosen as their
pastor.
In conclusion Captain Power assured
Father Yorke that the members OF Com
pany would leave nothing undone 10
make themselves worthy OF the fatherly
care and solicitude OF their new pastor.
Father Yorke thanked the boys for the
warm reception accorded him, and said
he was proud that his labors in behalf Of
the League Of the Cross had been attend
ed with some success. He had not been
brought in close contact with Company /
but its welfare was included in that Of the

From the saloon a short road opens.
Along that road a hole is soon reached
into which the victim OF intemperance
falls. never TO rise again"
Continuing, be said IL the League OF the
Cross Cadets would be useful citizens and
worthy members OF the church. as the
promoters of their organization meant
them TO be, they must cultivate habits OF
manliness. The manly man cannot be q
bad man. They must be sober and indus
trious.
Father Yorke sympathized with the boys
for the sorrow they experienced through
Father .Casey's illness and his temporary
retirement from the parish. Among the
many cares of Father Casey that which
he had for the League of the Cross Cadets
was by no means the least.
Father Yorke in conclusion assured the
boys that during the time OF his passionate
he would do his utmost to further their
! interests and increase the membership OF
their organization.
Songs and recitations and a drill by the
company brought the programme to a
close. Among those present were: Rev
James Mcdonald. Rev. Philip Organ
Rev. William Lyons, Rev. James Grant
Brothers Erminold Felan and William
