THE silence OF
DEAN MAITLAND

The Silence Of Dean Maitland" was a
most striking and popular novel; the
masterpiece of the lady who chooses to
call herself Maxwell Grey. The tale of
a good man. of refined feeling, of
scholarly attachments, who rises to the
highest rank in his holy calling, and is
regarded by his friends and enemies
alike as a man of sanity character, but
who, in his heart carries the knowledge
of a sin in the seduction of the daughter
of one of his parishioners, and a great
moral crime, in allowing his friend to
eXpiate by a long term of imprisonment
his own crime of murder, appeals to the
mind at once. 1t is the working out of
that double nature, the good and the
evil which has formed the subject Of
contemplation to students and philOsO-
piers from the time of the writer of
Job to the time of Robert Louis Stew
enson. and will run on as long as the
human race lasts. There is no doubt
about the interest in the problem.
The dramatization of the novel which
Mr.. Roberts presented last night does
not came up in power to the novel 1t
is in certain sense crude, and would
bear rewriting and pruning. But the
handiwork of the dramatist did not af-
feet the work of the principal actor. AS
| Cyril Maitland, Mr.. Roberts gave a
rendering which is worthy of all praise.
He is physically suited to represent the
weak willed, tempted young parson in
| deacons orders. No man of powerful
| physique would have erred as Cyril
Maitland did, and yet be what Cyril
Maitland was. Mr.. Roberts. as Cyril
Maitland, draws the sympathies of his
audience with him for his sorrows, he
does not repel them by his crime. His
mental anguish touches every ones
| heart One feels how awful a thing
crime is, and that even though hidden
! from the world. it is a never ending
penance. The moral lesson is deeper
than that of many sermons, and Mr..
! Roberts by the delicacy and excellence
of his art drives the lesson home.
There We're some wonderfully power
full passages. The scene at the grave
of VIII Lee, the library scene with its
contrasts and the great church scene
where the dean confesses his crime and
dies on the altar steps, We're all remark
able pieces of natural portrayal. That
| last scene is as powerful piece of act
ing, appealing to the very highest and
most elevated emotions, as the mod
ern stage has given us. 1t only requir.
ed Mr.. Roberts to portray Cyril Matt
land to show what finished actor he is.
OF the rest of the company, they were
all shadowy against the deans strong
personality which dominated every
| thing. Maggie Moore as the deans sis
ter, played her part with gentleness and
lady like manner, showing her ability
| in somewhat minor part. Mr. Coch-
ran was a good DR.. Everard. and Miss
Osgood Moore showed ability as the
blind son of the dean.
The play would bear repetition. and
! would grow upon the audience at a sec
ond performance, for there are delca.
cies of action and word which need
close attention, and which are apt to bt
missed at the first view.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day l happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarsaparills. II

Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparills and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She

SHROUDEO IN MYSTERY
No Theory Can Account for the
Disappearance of Thompson.
MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED
One Belief Is That Hs Was Waylaid by
Soma One Who Expected to Secure
HIS Money-Suspicious Cir
curnstances,
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Bozeman, Nov. 2l,--The strange and
mysterious disappearance of George
Thompson a we'll known rancher of
the Gallatin valley, has been the cause
of a great deal of excitement in Boze-
man to-day. Little knots of men from
the country and towns gathered around
all day on the streets to discuss the
matter and offer theories.
The missing man left Bozeman be-
tween and o'clock Monday evening
in a wagon drawn by two horses This
morning about . o'clock two Of his
sons starting out to plow, found the
team standing at the ranch gate, about
half a mile from the house, IL miles
north of town. In the wagon was
fur coat, cut in several places with
sharp instrument of some kind, new
cap, also slashed and cut up, and some
groceries and other things, but no sign
of George Thompson.
Freeman Mize and other neighboring
ranchmen We're Immediately notified
and a search was made. but no trace
could be found of the missing man.
Word was sent to Bozeman, and Shar-
if Fransham and Deputy Jack Chap
man Immediately went out to the
ranch. Chapman returned about noon
with no further information, and the
sheriff came in about O'clock after a
fruitless search
Mr.. Thompson came to town yester-
day to make a few purchases. and had
arranged to go with Freeman Mize
down to Big Timber this morning. The
last that is known of him in town is
that he purchased a razor from The
Montana Armory about 6 o'clock and
was thinking of buying a pistol, but
after examining one, left the store, say
ing he would go to supper, and if he
decided to take the gun he would re-
turn in about an hour, but did not
do so.
From the track in the mud his wag-
on brake must have been set about
three miles from town, near Jacksons
ranch, so it is presumed that is the
point where he left the wagon. A mi
mute examination was made on the fur
coat, cap and rig to find blood stains,
but only one little spot on some iron
work of the wagon was discovered. He
had but little money on his person. al
though he had just sold his grain And
the theory is that. some one. knowing
this, and believing he had the money
on his person, Waylaid him and mur-
dered him. No other reason can be as
signed for the mysterious disappear
ance.
He was a man in fairly good circum-
stances. thought the world of his wife
and five children. and was greatly re-
spected by his neighbors as an upright
citizen. He was about 40 years Of age.
rather slim in build and a prominent
member Of the Workmen and Wood
men of the World, in which orders he
held insurance for $4,000.
The officers and every one else are
mystified. There are no signs of
struggle except the cuts in the coat
and the one little blood spot on :he
wagon. His wife is in i'll health and
the shock and anxiety have almost de-
ranged her.
