"Ahap' spoke the happy duchess
as she caught the new light of Ze-
nobie's eve and then turned TO the
glowing face of Paul. "You are

"You will not object" whispered
the fair girl, hiding her face upon
the bosom Of her mistress.
mo, no, Zenobie."
"And you, my MASTER" spoke
Paul, gazing eagerly into Ruric's
face, "you will not say nay.'
"No, no, my noble Paul. If you
can win her, you have my consent"
But she was won already.
But there was yet one more to
come. Conrad, Count Damonotf,
somewhat pale and weak, but yet on
the sure road to health. moved slow
" forward and took the hand of the
joyous bride. Then he reached forth
the other hand and took the palm Of
Ruric, and as he thus held both
their hands he said:
"My lord and lady, and, ] must
say, my best Of friends, let this mo-
ment atone for all of darkness be-
tween us in the past. BE you happy
both, and may God bless YOU. Let
me be accounted among your
friends, and let the future prove
how grateful | can be-"
aye" cried Raric, grasping the
counts hand more firmly, 'let the
future show how grateful we can
all be for the blessings Of this hour,
and while we look TO God for help
we will not fail to remember in our
prayers the author of our joys-our
noble emperor, Peter Of Russia"
And so closed the scene as it
should-with one long, loud shout
Of
"God bless our emperor
Peter never forgot that moment.
In the long years thereafter when
he sometimes let the clouds Of pas
sion settle upon his soul he remem-
bered that scene and that shout. 1t

memory Of his youth which he cher

The winter had set in early, and a
succession Of snowstorms had buried
the little hamlet of dozen houses
so deep in the snow that around the
Barton home it was nearly 80 feet
on the level, and the hamlet, so far
as appearances went, had been wiped
out of existence and lay with all its
domestic life under the snow. The
entire male population had dug the
Bartons out, as in previous winters,

miners reached the attic window,

Yes or No !?
Marietta People are Respectfully
Asked to Answer These
Questions.

Is there anything in the evidence of
ones senses?
Is there anything in the testimony of
ones friends?
Can reliance be placed upon the
statements from people we know?
Are the opinions of local citizens of
any greater moment than those of
strangers?
Would you sooner believe people liv-
ing in some far-away place than citi-
zens of your own city?
We think not--for home proof can
easily be investigated.

FRANK DANIELS'S COMIC OPERA
COMPANY at the Auditorium Saturday
night, March 30th.
The many admirers of Frank Daniels
will be pleased to know that he is to
come to this city week after next with
his new opera. He will bring with him
his latest triumph, THE Ameer"
composed for him by Victor Herbert
and written by Frederick and Kirke
La Shelle. The production of this
opera has received the warmest sort of
commentator from the press else
where. 1t is said to excel anything
that Daniels has ever produced, not on
ly by way of music and fun, but also in
the matter of elaborate scenery and
fine costuming. His company is larger
than he has had heretofore and is de-
scribed as being stronger Daniels
has always had the reputation for hav-
ing chorus combining excellence and
beauty. 1t is said that his chorus this
year enhances that reputation. Crowd
ed houses have greeted him wherever
he has been, thus far, this season. and
to judge from the reports from the box
office, there is no reason to believe that
this city will prove an exception to this
rule. Management of L. M. LUCHS.
