MILDRED HOLLAND.

Miss Mildred Holland, who has gained much fame in recent years, par ticularly as Fan Fan in 1.-Two Little Migrants" will appear at Polls on Thursday evening in Theodore Kre- mer's new romantic drama, ''The Pow CT Behind the Throne.'' In the play Miss Holland has a 1egitimately serious role, the portrayal of which will be a pleasant surprise to her many admir- CTS. The locale of the play is laid in an Austrian province at the end of the eighteenth century. The story is a typical one of intrigues of that time. from which the author has evolved an exceedingly intense and interesting story, replete with many strong situa- tfons. The production will be on an elaborate scale, with historically cor rect scenery. furniture and other access sorfes. while the company will be made up of we'll known artists comprising bver thirty people.

hunger and exposure, fall into the hands of q tribe of desert Arabs, who carry them into captivity. Their eff forts to escape and Iheir final rescue offer opportunities for thrilling adyen- ture and exciting ciilnaXeS, none of which have been neglected. The seen .ic settings are very elaborate and the company is l large one. numbering over thirty persons, and includes d tribe of real Arabs. The most start ling scene, and one of the most sensa
 1ional ever arranged fer stage produc- tion, is the wonderful ride for life. Ed Win Walter, the leading man. is dashed to the back of q supposed wild horse, and at once the animal starts off at q terrific pace. He runs in full view of the audience by the aid of a marvellous mechanical effect. An Arab races after him and .rescues the hapless hero from . terrible position. While the effect is most thrilling and receives thunders of applause. it is really a most dan gerous performance, and in the long and tedious rehearsals Mir Walter got many bruises before he succeeded ill catching the hang of it. The Arab acrobats are wonderful in their way and give superb performance.

GREAT FIND OF MANUSCRIPTS
Recent Russian Discoveries in Man churfa May Solve 0
 Problem.

The Russians, on occupying Mukden, the capital of Manchuria. secured-in other words "looted''-a large quantity of very valuable oriental manuscripts, which, by command of the Russian gov ernment, are being sent to St. Peters burg in order to be submitted to a mi mute examina tion at the hands of the authorities of the imperial library. says a correspondent of the London Daily Mail.
 Among he manuscripts there should be, according to the view of the Rus sian experts, many manuscripts ot Greek and Roman classics, which were plundered and carried away by the Mongols in their wars of devastation in Europe in the thirteenth century. Some European scholars have com bated this theory, which was put for ward some years ago, but in any case the question Is likely to be definitely settled at no distant date.
 The Mongols first brame known and feared in Europe by the conquests ot Jenghiz and hisshouse in the thirteenth century, The Huns were the first wave of Mongols to burst over Europe They even broke into Italy.

CHAPTER XVIII.

When the major reached Lyndhurst that evening it was six o'clock. Talley
 met him at the steps of the veranda.
 "Well,' said the young man buoy antly, the semidarkness preventing
 him from observing the disturbed countenance of his employer; well,
 major. have you seen the market re-
 ports?'
 No; haven't had time to-day; T. I-where is my wi Where is Blanche?"
 The young man beamed and rubbed
 his hands together.
 Then you don't know that the G. N. & W. has taken jump and is now actually worth two for one?" "Is that so? Where did you say she
 was?" looking ,lp towards the un- lighted window Of Elanche's room.
 "I am afraid you dcn't realize that you have made a fortune out of this deal. major" said 1a1iey, crestfallen. 'Ch, yes: I Tn glad os cou-ss,'' said Goddard, af:sent.y. "lant. impatient iy. 'I want to see I'!arehe at once!'
 ''She was wallsiDg in the garden on 1 the other, side of the house few p1in- utes ago" answered the private secre- tary. T beg your pardon; l was so glad to be able to bring you gcod ] news, I wanted to ask if you would advise selling now. The prospect is l glorious for an additional rise. The stock is on boom. Even my little investment has turned out more money than I ever hoped to-" But the major was not listening. He turned his tortured face away, and was striding through the dusk to- wards the garde1 in the rear. Near the old granite fountain in the center of the garden he saw a tall. dar}sly- i clad figure movins, slowly to and fro.
 It was the object of his quest. Her
 head was bare. but she wore fur
 cape. the high collar of which encom- passed her head except triangular
 opening where her sweet face ap- 1 peared.

 'I have something to say first" he said, taking her hands.
 .sW!lat is it? What is the natter?" She had noticed the strident quality in his voice.
 He released her hands, his action born in the sudden realization of his unworthiness to treat her with famil- iarity. He glanced over his shoulder at the house, as if fearing interruption.
 Lets walk down towards the wood,' he said, 'I have an awful con fession to make. When you have heard it you will despise me. You will wish you had never seen me. You will think me devil ircarnate."
 As Blanche moved on by his side she had d sutfocating sensation in her throat, and she unbuttoned her cape and threw it further back on her shoulders. She saw something of vast import had happened; she knew that by the awful alteration in his face and manner. He bore every evidence of being utterly crushed.

 "I don't think I am afraid of you" said Blanche, strangely calmed by his manner and tone of voice. T know that detectives sometimes resort to bold methoC.s."
 ''But I am not a professional detec- tive" said the man, IS he picked up his hat, which had fallen to the floor. 'sAs I said, I am seeking information that concerns me alone.

Had 70 Leave.

A lady had a cook who gave her ev-
cry satisfaction, and she was under
the impression that the cook was equal
" satisfied with her place. But one
morning, to the lady's surprise, the
cook. gave her the usual months no
tice.
''What do you want to leave for,
Jane?" asked her mistress. Il am very
much pleased with you, and l thought
you were quite comfortable here"
''Yes, mum, I'm comfortable enough
in way, but"
The cook hesitated and fdgeted
about.
"But what?" queried her mistress.
"Well, num-" she blurted out, 'the
fact is the master doesn't seem to pre-
ciate my cookery, and 1 can't stop il
place where my efforts to please are
wasted; so I'd rather go, num-"
"But what makes you think that
your master doesn't appreciate your
cookery? Has he ever complained to
your" asked the lady.

Better than Hypnotisnl.

Dr. Harold n. Meyer believes that
suggestion, well directed and, above all,
patiently and Systematically applied,
forms very important element in the
treatment of many diseased states.
Hypnosis, on the contrary, has many
Objectionable features. 1t is by no
means easily induced, excepting in in
systems. and in these it is quite certain
that the effects are harmful. There is
not little evidence that goes to show
that suggestion may be invoked just
as efficiently without hypnosis as with
it, but it would seem that the more self
consciousness is in allegiance the more
efficient the suggestion. However, when
the patients own consciousness comes
to the aid of the person making the
suggestion, there is a possibility that
suggestion may be more efficient with
out the hypnotic state. If an individual
comes to a physician, for example, in
the full belief that the physician is in
possession of remedy or treatment that
will infallibly cure a certain trouble
undoubtedly the effect on the patients
mind of suggestion along the lines of
this thought is more efficient when the
person is conscious than If he were in
an hypnotic state. On the contrary, if
the patient were opposed to the sug-
gestion, it is self-evident that hypno-
sis, if it can be induced, would lend adj
ditional aid in making the suggestion
operative.-Chicago Chronicle.

found purchaser. who inquired par

The trade was made. and in a few days

Romantic fancies rule evening dress
fashions. Stylish dressers are aiming AZ
simplicity and gentlemanliness in tailor
street wear, and at daintiness in all othes
dressing. Soft materials, made up to
show their softness, straight lines. un.
broken draperies, sweeping sleeves, all
are features of the evening gown. Dress
makers strive to make general simple

ton, as by great massing of tulle in a
