HOST IN THE DESERT"

Owen Davis has contributed several good attractions in theatricals, and each of them has attained considerable success His newest melodrama was presented last night in the Jacques be- fore q good sized audience, and it gave general satisfaction. In fact the peo- pie present >enthused more over this production than they have over any that has been seen in this theater i'll many q day. The company presenting the attraction is an excellent one, and the various scenes were depicted in a manner that called for the greatest and most deserving applause. The scenic effects added to the general sue cess and some of the elements of the production were startling and pleasing. The fire scene and the horse race were two of the exciting features of the play and were well conceived and executed. The acrobats were clever and their work was skillful and created much enthusiasm. The admission to the per formance is at popular prices and there are matinees daily. Good audiences should greet the production for the rest of the engagement.

 ssThe blessing of God, darling" he said, in a louder tone.
 ''Will you not try to get we'll. now. for my sake?" Blanche asked.
 "Yes, for your sake," he said. and she rose to call the doctor.
 This gentleman, when he entered the room, and looked at his patient, remarked:
 "lle stands fair chance of pulling through, Mrs. Goddard, and the credit will be yours. Now he must sleep."

 And you can forgive me?' he asked. "4ou, oh. my God!"
 '.Fully. dear; it shall never enter my head again"
 '.But you must not stay here," he said, huskily. "Oh, to think that I am obliged to send you away! Blanche, this will kill me- But now that you know the truth, you must go. God only knows wkat will be- come of me, but 1 deserve even great CT punishment

 She saw him catch his breath. For amoment he lay perfectly still. Then:
 s'Oh, Blanche, is this possible ?''
 ssIt is the truth. He told me his whole story. When you are stronger shall tell you all about it, but in the meantime remember that nothing shall separate you and me-

but there were many, many eXieu. uating circumstances" he continued, pleadingly. .He was the tool of de- signing woman; he was out of his mind. I had noticed his downfall from the moment he met her and came under her baneful influence. She convinced him beyond doubt that you had fatal malady which would carry you of in few months. She wanted your money; he was temporarily in- sane. For Gods sake pity him. I know men as a botanist knows his plants, and I could swear that he has been man changed for the better since you became his wife. If you could only believe this it would. I know, be crumb of comfort in your great calamity"
 Blanche's head sank to the table at which she sat. Father Surtees still held one of her hands. He waited for a moment, but she did not look up or utter a word. He would have thought sine had swooned but for the visible shudders passing through her frame.
 'sHe did not find out till this after noon that she had deceived him about your health, then he came to tell you tlc "IOlc utd I1C NOu1d hdfc lOlu you earlier, but Mrs. Goddard had made him believe that the shock would kill you. He kept back the rev- elation to save your life. He told me he was in a literal hell-a hell of his own creation, but if he dies tonight, dear child, he will be among the re- deemed. His soul is as white as snow. The responsibility of his sin all rests on Mrs. Goddards-"
 "Don't-don't call her by that name again!", Blanche suddenly cried, draw ing herself up and looking into his face squarely. "She was never his lawful wife. I am the only woman he ever married-really married!"
 Father Surtees thought her mind was unsettled, and a look of deeper concern passed over his countenance.
 "I-I don't understand" he stam- mered.
 T did not know it til to-day-this afternoon" explained Blanche. 'Her husband came here looking for her. He told me all about her. She was really married when my guardian met her"
 ''Then you are really his wife-she is bigamist!" cried Father Surtees. "Oh, my dear child. this makes it all so different There is but one Christian course open to you. He has repented more deeply than one man in ten millions. You must forgive him. He never knew what a real, pure and uplifting love meant till he married you. God Him. self often puts such ordeals in the way of men to lift them above the world. If you refuse to receive the gold when it has come purified from the fire you deny the wisdom of tho Almighty. Forgive your husband. He may not live through the night remember that"
 Father Surtees ceased speaking. Blanche lowered her head to the table again. The priest saw her shudder several times as if she were trying to put certain thoughts from her. At this juncture the door leading into the room where Goddard lay was soft ly opened. It was Dr. Randall. He advanced with very grave face to Blanche.
 You must pardon me if I am in- truding,' he said to her. "But must do my duty. I am obliged to see that Maj. Goddard is troubled about some misunderstanding with you, and as his life is really in great danger, I must

 "Then," said Blanche. 'it is not be- cause-''
 "Oh. no. it is not that. I assure you," said Dr. Randall, quickly. 'It is some private matter concerning your immediate welfare.

 And may I go in now?" asked Blanche, in a pleading tone.
 ''I am afraid even your presence would rouse him; it is often so when there is close affinity. Perhaps you had better remain here till the priest comes. You know him, I believe?' "Yes," answered Blanche; ''he is our best friend.'
 A little after ten Father Surtees ar- rived. The doctor met him in the hall, and as the major had just walked the priest was allowed to go in to him.
