The enga cement of MOdjeska and
James at the Salt Lake theatre next
week bids fair to be one of the most
successful Of the season. if the demand
for seats yesterday be any indication.
The sale increased steadily, from early
morning. and when the box Office closed
last night the advanced sale climbed
up to generous proportions. The choice
of plays is naturally for Henry VIII, -
although patrons expressed a substan-
tial desire to witness the complete
repertoire.

The SECRET OF The OPAL

The newly received opal ring fell from
her finger suddenly, and rolled away
across the floor. The Man, stopping TO
recover it. fancied that il cleaned ike
tear. The Girl. happy IN its posses
sion. delighting in its play OF life and
color, insisted that it shone ike z smile
or a star. The Woman, watching the
pair reHniniscently from the window
seat, thought that il looked Ike a drop
Of blood.
Il am old-fashioned enough to be su-
perstitious about opals,' she said, pres
emily. 4 don't really suppose there is
anything in the old idea, but I'm sure
shouldn't care about having one for an
engagement token. Even the common
place diamond would be far better, in
my opinion"
The Man smiled indulgently, yet with
the suggestion Of a sheer. The Girl,
glancing at his face that moment, saw
something IN the strong features and
half-veiled expression that she had never
seen before. She looked at the Man as
she might have looked at an utter stran-
ger, studied for the first time. Then she
shivered a little, unaccountabiy, turn
ing away.
It's my turn to be superstitious now
she smiled. Somebody must certainly
have walked over my grave just then
The dawning sneer on the Mans face
grew stronger, tempered, as it was. BY
his tenderness for tie Girl.
You must learn to repress those ridic-
ulOus tendencies, dearie." he said, his
voice somewhat sharp with the inpa-
thence he had longed TO express toward
the Woman. There is nothing I dislike
and despise more than absurd ideas Of
that kind. 1 am afraid I shall ride
roughshod over all such faneies on your
part after We are married"
The Woman shivered now, but she said
nothing. The Girl looked at the Man
with wide eyes, fascinated by that un-
compvehended something she had never
seen before. As comprehension grew the
tmid look in her eyes deepened, strug-
gled with a growing determination, van
ished in troubled sadness. She withdrew
her gaze from the strong, kind. plain
featured. and slightly hard face before
her with difficulty, and turned then to-
ward the open window. The meaning of
those small, hard lines and wrinkles
about his mouth and eyes became plain
TO her as her glance fell away from
them.
No" she said quietly, you win never
ride roughshod over any fancies of
mine. I have changed my mind. We
shall never be married"
When the Man went away his face was
white and his eyes angry. He carried

with smile at his own weakness, but
il certainly does look ike a tear
The Girl meanwhile, dry-eyed but
psllid. was talking it over with the
Woman.
"Opals certainly do mean tears she
said at the conclusion of the talk. But
that one didn't look like a tear to me,

Woman, quietly; ct looked like a drop
