Until, just as the curtain falls,
They land on him for fair.
Act in. act out, he mains and Stays,
And lies, and robs, and steals;
He sneaks along with dagger drawn,
Behind the hero's heels,
And yet no crime however foul.
His purpose dark reveals.
The children coming home from school
CA millionaire's of course),
He gags and binds and carries off
Upon charging horse,
And, though they howl. and plead. and
He never shows remorse.
In fact, he says but little, save
When some deep plan is spoiled.
When some bold hero lands the girl
For whom the villain toiled.
He growls beneath his close clenched
teeth
In awful accents, "F-f-f-f-foiled!"
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And prays both loud and long,
And lifts his loud and deep bass voice
In spiritual song,
For playing the church member dodge
Is where he most is strong.
Killing, destroying. embezzling,
Through every act he goes,
Each moment sees some new-fOrmed plan
To add to human woes.
Something attempted, something done,
Has foiled his many foes.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy old
friend.
No longer will we lack
The means to trace the villain down
And catch him in his track.
Wen straight pursue all deep-voced
men
Whose whiskers are blue-black!

Groz- Mes, one of the subjects Of Count
Karadac. vows to fight in the lady's
cause, which oath is also taken by
Goyault. There being only four days re-
manning before the accusation against
Algitha must be avenged, they start out
that night in bad storm for the coast.
where they will take ship and sail to
meet Sir Gauthier During the ride the
count falls from his horse and so Injuries
his head that he is made blind. Coy
ault, who is also in love with Algitha,
persuades the count to remain behind
while he goes to fight Sir Gauthier.
Gaining his reluctant consent he sails
away with a message which he has
promised to deliver to the lady. 1t seems
all the time since the two years pre-
viOus when GOyault met Algitha she
had been cherishing in her heart love
for him, though known to none but
herself, and now in her hour of need
was praying that he would come to her.
Arriving in Grenezay the afternoon before
the last day Goyault sees Algitha and
determines to fight her cause for him
self and not for Count Karadac as he
has promised, and so tells her, emitting,
however. to advise her that he has
come in ansther's stead. At noon on
and after a long and hard fought battle
GOyault wins, wounding, though not
killing, his adversary. After Goyault
leaves the castle on his journey across
the sea karadac is seized with terrible
fever. through which he was tenderly
nursed by Gundred. daughter of Drogo
de Baratin, seigneur of Rozel. Gundred
though ill-favored as to looks, yet pos
sessed great mind and had loved the
count from childhood's days. He did
not care for her. however. and since she
had reached woman's estate had treat
ed her slightingly. During his illness
he imagined that Algitha was by his
side and that he had won her love-
Gundred was persuaded to play the part
of the fair lady. and was finally welded
to the court as Algitha, none daring to
undeceive him. Lady Algitha welded
Goyault before he crossed the seas on
his return. A few months after the
return of Goyault and his bride sight
was restored to karadac. When he
learned of the treachery of his friend
and vassal he drove him from the isle
to a dreary tower on a rocky island,
where he was forced to remain with
the fair Algitha until Count Karadac,
challenging all knights who denied that
Lady Gundred was queen of beauty met
Goyault and defeated him. Count Kara
dac was killed by his horse, leaving Gum

which had dazz!ed the matinee girls of

He knew of a certainty that these
would be safe from harm.
Enter the Constable.
Like an innocent child tired out at
play, Edwards slept. In the middle of
the night he was rudely awakened by the
creaking of the door and the blaze of the
electric light above his head.
What is it?' he demanded.

which he wore upon his breast in the
manner in vogue in the ''b'gosh" drama.
"Glad to see you,'' replied Edwards,
but you will notice from the peculiar
cut of my 'nightie' that there is some
thing doing in your line this evening"
The constable gazed about the room.
When he spied the bowl containing the
teeth a joyous smile Illuminated his
countenance.
"Oh, I don't know" said he as he con-
fiscated the articles. Il guess these teeth
will bring the amount of your bill"

sprang from the bed.
What, would you, man." he screamed,
"take from me my teeth, my only means
of support?'
Just So" said the constable.
The Others Escaped.
In vain did Edwards expostulate. The
constable declared that he must have
some tangible evidence of his night
work, and refused to surrender the mo-
lars.
Then it was that Edwards discovered
that his companions had been allowed
to go unm0lested on account of the fear
of the landlady that If she took their
clothes she would have to care for them
until they secured other raiment
In vain did Edwards gnash his gums
and weep. The constable decided that
the teeth were the property of the court
which he represented, and that the teeth
would have to be removed by due pro-
cess of law.
Edwards did not have the wherewith.
Nor could he by assidiously telegraphing
to acquaintances raise more than the

1t would seem from the plaintive lay
of Elmer Edwards that the hard-hearted
managers along Upper Broadway, New

lie men, said an actor now playing in

Saturday night came the manager was
not to be found. He. 1t is said had
taken an early train for Boston. leaving
the hotel bills and the actors salaries
unpaid.
Hurried was the conference among the
players which followed. 1t was decided
finally that the best thing to do was to
return to their hotels and await develop
