eager crowd thronged into the little shop. Men,
women and children. babies in arms, negroes. Ital-

WHEN CRICKETs SING.

When crtckets sing and asters bloom in all the
woodland ways
And smoke hangs low. and far away the fields are
lost in haze;
When in the there is voice that whispers:
Summers gone"
And here and there red leaf glows, first lights of
autumn's dawn;
Then soft as mlkweed down, on me
Is laid the hand of mystery.
The woodland waivers; at my feet I hear the tall
grass sigh;
A low, sweet music of regret runs through the
earth and sky;
The creek is caught in net of mist whose silvery
meshes CLEAN,
And my heart beats low. and walk walks
wandering in dream;
For, soft milkweed down, me
Is laid the hand of mystery.

the best melodramas that has been pre-
sented at the Park this season. It's incl
dents take place during the progress OF the
civil war, although the conflict never
reaches the stage. This must not be taken
TO mean that there is any lack Of action.
Several scenes Of the most exciting kind
transpire. and these are handled with
marked ability. The best Is the one in
which Nell Esmond. disguised as trooper.
Is shot as she enters her home after trip
TO her brother Ned, an officer In the Union
army. She has conveyed TO Ned some val
liable dispatches secured from the Confed-
crate General Laughlin by her little
nephew Julian. Getting into the house,
Nell PUSHES TO her room to remove the dis
guise. which she has obtained from Uncle
'Zeb," faithful darby servant. General
Laughlin aids in the search for the sup
posed trooper who has been shot, and,
when Nell is threatened with discovery,
"Zeb" makes his appearance clad In the
tell-tale suit of clothes, with a self-infifcted
wound on his arm, and declares that IL was
he who bore the dispatches 10 Ned Es-
mond and received the bullet wound on his
return. Enthusiasm ran high as this scene
reached It's climax.
Mr. Whytars portrayal of the noble
character of Stephen Dunbar is an agree
able piece of acting. The scene In which
Stephen teaches Nell how to roll cigar
cites was very cleverly done. There are
only two women In the cast, Miss Helaine
Hadley. who plays Nell Esmond. and Miss
Angelina s. Pulls. who assumes the role of
Virginia. Both did excellent work, Miss
Hadley appearing 10 slightly better advan-
tage on account of having a more pleasing
part. Little Isabella Barriscall, as Julian
Esmond. displayed remarkable talent as a
child actress. G. II. Geldart, as General
Laughlin. sustained the villain role admir-
ably. George Walters. as Uncle "Zeb. i"
could make much more of a hit IL he tried.
For Fair Virginia remains to-day and
Tomorrow and will be followed Thursday
by Alden Benedict's production of Charles
