Gypsy jack" Jan. p

Despite the apparent sway of farce
comedy and ''show girl" performances,
the old-fashioned :melodrama still
claims its devoted adherents. That
this is SO, without a doubt, is practi-
cally proven by the unstinted success
which has greeted Willis Granger dur
ing his present tour with Gypsy
jack" Not only is Manager Edward
Q. White highly pleased with the re-
ception which has greeted his new
star, but the latter has, by his intrin-
sic worth al a melo-dramatic actor,
proven his fitness for tie role of the
gypsy boy, which is the leading char
acter in the production.

heart in Tennessee. You ort to know,
Tabitha, sence all his mail passes
through yore hands"
Tabitha looked up. 1t was plain to
Hettie that she was strongly tempted
to give utterance to a certain idea. 1t
was finally the reflection that sin en-
tertained was as vital as sin voiced
that pried her lips apart.
EFF he has a gal up thar" she said
slowly, her words falling like drops of
bitternesS-"ef he has one, she'd better
be down heer lookin' after him; that's
all l got to say. He's a weak, wishy
washy boy, an he hain't in the hands
of no crawlin' baby"
At that moment Mrs. Wittekind
parted the curtains, her hands gloved
in dough and -four.
"Tabitha," she said reproachfully,
"be ashamed of yOreself. | didn't low
you'd ever be guilty of any more sech
remarks about Lizzie Menetee. Fur
the last three days you have behaved
as a woman of yore age ort, but now
you are breallin' out agin."
Tabitha lowered her head over the
package of letters she was arranging
and turned her back on the masquer-
aiding Satan who had provoked her
outburst Mrs. Wittekind reached into
an open barrel behind the counter to
secure a handful of salt, glaring at the
gossip as her head disappeared.
Hettie hitched her basket up under
her arm automatically. Her mind was
not on trivialities.
"You don't shorely think she'd make
sech a born fool of herself" she said.
"Why, Tab, she's forty eff she is day,
an'-an', why, he said hisself that he
was jest twenty-five. But now l come
to think of it she always did have a
hankerin' fur preachers. They say
Menefee jest had to stop her from
bringin' 'em to his house. AS stingy
as she is, she entertained all denomi-
nations. It's a funny thing how
downright worldly minded woman will
be tickled to death over marryin' a
preacher 1t looks like they think that
maybe the preacher will get into heav-
en- fur his good works an that the AL
mighty wouldn't like to part anybody
married in a straightforward way"
''Het, you ort to be whipped!' roared
Ike, but his wife had balled her hand
full of salt tightly in her grasp and adj
vanced to Hettie.
Il wish" she said firmly, "that you
wouldn't talk that away to Tabitha.
She's had a lot to put up with, an
any talk on this line seems to fetch
the worst dregs she has in her to the
surface. l am in favor of lettin' Liz
zie Menefecs name rest fur awhile"
Hettie met the glance of the old wo-
man with an unabashed stare.

keep silent on that particular subject,
she bridled her tongue and paused alb
ruptly.
Il was just a-wonderin' myself"
said Hettie, siding across to the graf
ing, "but | wouldn't be afraid to bet
my hest settin' hen that she manages
to be unmolested with her bOarder. she
has already put a big quietus on re-
ports by addin' another hundred to her

It's reported he has sweetheart whar

dred that has been donated, an Seth

Ike laughed significantly.
"I'll bet" he said, that she studied
a long time fore she decided to let 90
another hundred. She has a rope tied
to every nickel she's got"
Hettie echoed Ikes burst of merri-
ment, and then crafty look crept into
her wizened face as she watched Tabi-
tina through the grating.
"Mr. Murray seems mighty set on
gettin' the parsonage" she said ten
tatively. 81 reckon thar haint much

Mr.. Hyde when his wife timidly eX-
pressed her desire to join the woman's
self improvement society.
But we learn so much there" ven
tured Mrs. Hyde.
Don't believe itr snapped Mr..
Hyde. "Women don't know much,
that's a fact, but let 'em stick to their
domestic duties and learn them. That's
my opinion. Let 'em follow st. Paul's
injunction, stay at home and ask their
husbands if they want to know any

Tab can't prove a blessed thing; but
geewhillkins! she's had more to bear
all this time than any of us knowed
about. Now, Ike, try yore level best
to keep from mentionin' what Tabitha
saw. Eff you keep it, it will be the fust
thing you ever helt in"
That Afternoon, af,er the mterment,
the congregation, with scant express
sions Of sympathy, left the widow at
the grave and filtered away through
the trees to their homes. The young
minister felt it his duty to remain with
her. Mrs. Menefees eyes, while still
dry, were appropriately red. Indeed,
she had rubbed them till the infamma-
ton of the sockets had extended well
into the iris.
"Yon must try to bear up; be brave"
said Mr.. Murray timidly.
She put her little white hand on his
arm and leaned upon him
"Oh, Mr.. Murray, I'm going to miss
him so muchw she faltercd in a tone
that, with the pressure on his arm. APP
pealed to his religious enthusiasm and
made him think of Biblical woman
sufferers
Il can easily understand that" he
replied, with increasing sympathy.
Her hand frightened on his arm. 81
cannot bear the loneliness of the house
now that he is gone" she sobbed.
There is no one there but my cook, a
white woman, and she sleeps in the
rear far away from my room"
Perhaps" he ggested-"pcrhaps
it would be well for you to get some
lady friend to remain with you at
first"
There is actually no one l could call
on" she whimpered. when you have
been here longer, you will understand.
These people have never been con
genial. They are so uneducated, and
then because Mr.. Menefee had money
they thought | was stuck up and have
always talked about me, but | want
you to be my friend, Mr.. Murray. The
moment | heard you begin your first
sermon | knew you would feel the
want of intellectual sympathy here.
Oh, it's simply awful! They will not
unuelSIdud you, anu luey VIII even
hate you for speaking grammatically"
''That is indeed a bad state of af-
fairs" Mr.. Murray acknowledged gen
tly leading her from the grave. "You
were saying you would feel easier if
there were a man at your house If
you have a spare room and would like
to have me, | can easily remain there
tonight and longer if you need my
services" -r~ ,ss-asoG '<r.s -.e'Y-

begin to git my eyes opened since Joe
died, but she shan't be unfair to his
widow eff | kin hep it,"
At this juncture Jason Bates, the
village lawyer, middle aged man,
dark of complexion, strong faced and
| full bearded. paused at Ike's side. A
/ strange look lay on his countenance
as he fixed the widow with his pierre
ing eyes.
Purity sad calamity" remarked Ike
tentatively.
The lawyer nodded without remov-
ing his eyes from their target, but he
said nothing.
"Seems to me-" added Ike, that l
heerd Joe had left will leavin his
sister an brother half of his estate"
"All idle report" said Bates. 81
went through his private papers this
monin' an found he hadn't made a
will"
'Never made no will?' broke in
Tabitha, leaning forward. "He must
"a done it!'
"But he didn't, Miss Tab" smiled
the lawyer. Il made a most careful
search"
The old maid drew back behind the
lawyer. Her sister saw her face turn
white and rigid, and for a moment she
reeled, and then she bent forward and
stared at the widow steadily, as If de-
string to fathom her secret soul.
"What's the matter?" asked Mrs.
Wittekind in a startled tone.
Tabitha caught her arm, swung to it
tremblingly and recovered herself sud
denly. Hush; don't let on. III tell you
when | git home. oh, my Lord, | I'M
derstand it all now"
understand what" asked Ike, turn
ing to her.
I'm tell you when we git home" said
Tabitha.
1--WE might as well go on now. We
hain't dom no good heer," said Mrs.
Wittekind, gazing uneasily into the
wrinkled face of her sister.
Ike, like his wife, was Christian,
but MS feHglOuS fefNOf naQ not res
cued him from the love of gossip, and
so the walk back home had never SEEM
ed so long as it did on this occasion.
The trio had scarcely arrived at the
little porch in front of the plain, I'M
painted building which was at once
likes store and residence when he said:
what on earth did you mean any
way, Tab"
open the door" replied Tabitha.
LETS not stand heer. Somebody will
be shore to stop"
The look of expectancy on Ike's
rugged visage deepened. There was a
mysterious quality in the tone and
manner of his sister-in-law. His fin
gers trembled as he put the key in the
lock. The door swung open. and the
