where Dudley is known as kenilworth
Knight. and s.: Ann has developed into
the artistic sensation of the hour. and
is known as Miss John. The good young
man, who loves Ann so ferveDtly that
he has undergone untold misery during
the two years separation. appears on
the scene Just as Dudley IS making
preparations for the celebration Of the
Fourth of July.
This young Dudley is very much OF an
American. as he shows when he says,
in speaking of his desire TO return 10
New York: Il would rather do time on
Blackwell's Island, where ! could Just
now and then see foolish old New York,
than to be the lord mayor of London.
This is a very patriotic utterance. and

The Plays Strong Scene.
Then follows one of the very strongest
scenes of the play, during which Ann
discloses her identity and confesses that
..The other Woman" is her work, and
that the face of the other woman is an
idealized portrait of the woman who
married the gentlemanly villain of the
play, Leon Richmond.
However, Ann does not consent to i'm

goes home. while her lord and master
picks up a photograph with the name
Miss John, the Celebrated Painter,

Just then Ann comes on the scene.
Richmond says he loves her and wants
to marry her and that his wife wants to

Ann tells him to have his wife sail on
the morrow and asks him tc meet her
that night at Dudley's place on the
Thames, where she will give him her
