stood at the bottom of the stairs

clomped heavily down the stairs, pull
ing off the gloves as he descended.
Dat OF prophet up dere trun me

he yanked open the front door and
stalked out.
Mr.. Jobson was just sitting up and
looking wonderingly around him
when Mrs. Jobson reached the room.
did you throw a potato masher at
me?' he said, in a muffled tone, pass
ing one of his boxing gloves across
his eyes. The sight of the boxing
glove brought him to a realization OF
what had happened. He struggled
to his feet, threw off his boxing
gloves, gazing sternly at Mrs. Jobson
and growied;

you wait till You see this professional
pugilist that I've engaged to box with
me and if you don't pronounce him
as mild as a cooing dove from every
point of view. then it's simply be-
cause you're preiudiced. that's all.
Just have the girl clear everything
out of that middle room upstairs, will
you? My friend the pugilistll be

Mr.. Jobsons pugilistic friend did
get along about eight o'clock. Mrs.
Johson reflected, when she saw him,
that he really didn't look anything
/ at all like a cooling dove. He was
broad and squat, with very much
protruding lower jaw. with a three
days growth of reddish beard there
on, and he walked a good deal like
the conventional stage Boweryite Mr..
Johson took the man right upstairs,
and pretty soon Mrs. Jobson heard n
| lot of dancing around above, until
she thought the plaster was going
to come down on her head. After
about five minutes of this she heard
Mr.. Johson's voice rise in wrath.
Look a-here. you bulge-faced an
thropoid." Mr.. Jobson was growing,
'wLat the dickens dye mean by
pounding me on the nose with all
your might like that? Who told you,
you red-headed gorilla, that you were
privileged to bang me all over this
house that way? What dye think

Mrs. Jobson was listening atten-
lively at the foot of the stairs. Some
how or another. she had vague
premontion that there was going to
be trouble.
"Aw. g'wan. youse oil mush-head,

relics OF Irish Lake D1veIIer..

An interesting relic of the lake
dwellers of Ireland has just been added
to the Science and Art museum of
Dublin in the form of a crannog. or
elevated dwelling. 1t was discovered
in a hog-filled lake near Enniskillen
and measures over 100 feet in diameter.
On removing the peat the piles of plat

ably done. untrimmed birch trees be-

f-und in IL, besides an iron ak Of cary

the slave girl, Eunice, who is brought to
declare her love for him. This episode,
- others, lie close to the book without
Elavishly following it-representing it
faithfully in spirit where not always in
letter.
Petronius offers to have Lygia removed
from Aulus' house by Nero's order; and
in the second scene of this act we see the
thing done
The second act has for it's location the
gardens of Nero and the entrance to his
palace. Nero is in the center of the scene
Tyre in hand, surrounded by his courtiers
When all have gone into the feast Lygia
IS brought to the scene by the guard,
which has torn her from Aulus' grasp.
Lygia appeals to the Empress Poppaea to
save her frcIn what appears her obviously
destined fate, and there occurs the scene
during which the girl, a known Christian,
stretches her hands appealingly over the
infant daughter OF Caesar and Augusta,
CT eumstance that affords the handspring
for one of the dramatic scenes of the play.
1t is in the garden that Vinicius is made
TO press his manifestations of love for
Lygia upon her in such fashion as to
call in the strong rebuff from Ursus, the
giant servitOr of Lygia, and like her a
convert to the Christian faith
Petronius is the popular hero of the play,
whatever sympathy, sometimes tears,

there may. be for 1lygia, and Vinicius
ana poor little Aulus, son of Lygia's fos-
ter parents, who gives UP his life in pris-
on, tho only one of the martyrs that pays
the penalty to Nero in the view of the
spectators
This act closes with the disclosure of
the death OF 'Nero's and Poppaeas child,
and the frenzied accusation of the en-
press against Lyg1a that she bewitched
the child Lygia is saved by the ready
wit of Petronius, in that famous scene
In which the courtier stops the empe-
ror's mouth by the single process Of put
ting his hand over it, and saves himself
from humiliation by the entreaty not to
impair that divine voice
The third act is In Petronlus house,
a handsome Interior in the bright Pom
peiian colors. During this act Vinicius
tells the elder man, who listens with the
freed slave, Eunice, at his feet. of what
he has seen during his search through
Rome in quest of Lygia, who has been
rescued by the Christians. lie has seen
men, women and children putchered-th1s

bands of worshipers in the new religion
listening with rapt attention TO the words
of the Apostle Peter, and conveying one
to the other the message of peace and
goed willard this, he says. is the
Christian world
To Petronius house comes Nero and
his following, and the conclusion Of the
act sees the beginning Of the burning Of
Rome The fourth act is taken up with
this feature of the story. The garden
of Linus house is shown where Vinicius
finds Lygia and where the assembled
Christians are arrested by Nero's sol
diers.
The interior of Nero's palace is next
shown and an episodical scene, which
is one OF the best in the play
The second scene is the interior of
the Mamertine prison, whence the Chris
tians are led forth to die in the arena,
and where Petronius again comes to
save Lygia from the empress and her
minion. Tigellinus-
The last act is the exterior of the cir
Gus. with view of the arena and the
city in the distance. Here Petronius
and Vinicius describe from an elevated
platform the scene on the arena. during
which Ursus effects the rescue Of Lygia
by breaking the neck OF Wild DuIl.
Here the soldiers revolt, incipiently. and
the populace rises, compelling Nero to
yield and grant pardon to Lygia and
Ursus Nero serves upon Petronius no
tice that the latter will be expected to
''open his veins on the morrow. and

and the impending death of Petronius,
