brought TO the front in the case of

of a Washington photographer. who
has been arrested on complaint Of

About all that is known to the IN

thy fired a bullet from a pistol in the
photograph gallery Of Mr. Kets-
Kemethy. As is natural in the case
when a woman does such a thing, the
bullet has not been located. Miss
Dodson AYERS that she was the large

and this would seem to be supported
by the fact that Miss Dodson. was moi

On the other hand, however, Mrs
Kets-Kemethy claims that she fired
at her husband, and again is there
an apparent confirmation Of this as
serrion in the fact that Mr. Kets-
Kemethy, too, is unscathed. Finally
the neighbors of the Kets-Kemethyi
declare that Mrs. Kets-Kemethy free

ing. There is no knowing how many
people who. in other circumstances,
would never have read anything, have
been led by this means to peruse at
least the books chosen for exDIOita-
ton by their favorite actors
But there is a limit TO this manner
of making the public familiar with
the best literature; and likewise there
is limit to the patience of the public
which does not need to be prodded
into entering the doors of a library
This point has been reached. They
are dramatizing the Moody and
Sankey hymn-book, beginning with
one of the hymns.
It was feared ct one time that some
enterprising manager would under
take to stage the dictionary, or the
census reports, OF one Of Mr.. HoweH's
novels. or some equally somnOlent
and monotonous statement of facts;
and only the strenuous objections OF
a shocked public have Kept some OF
them from dramatfzing the Bible
on the ground that the Miracle
Play at Oberammergau is a paying
production. But if we have escaped
these calamfties only to fall into a
worse predicament, there is little rea-
son for rejoicing.
In the first place, the mere idea Of
one of his hymns on the stage ought
to be enough to make Mr.. Sankey en-
ter protest in q court Of law, and that
would advertise them both, to the
WEAKNESS of everybody In the sec
ond place, there is no excuse for Civ
ing any further publicity TO the
hymns themselves. There was prob
ably never a worse collection of tunes

ing world than those same hymns

walking on the farther side of Louise

a pleasant looking fellow. apparently a
little older than herself. Mr.. Preble
seemed to be listening to what he was
saying with as much interest as his
daughter.
Penrhyn kept his eyes fixed on the
group as they slowly moved along, and
then located them at their table Louise

when the young man spoke to her; then
she would put it down and listen TO him

she would once more begin to read. Dur

her hand as if to enjoin silence bJ-ween

Since that Fourth Of July night Wat

He was evidently waiting for his friend
to open the subject again himself But
Penrhyn never touched upon it
So time went on, and the summer heat
increased in power, and the letters Helen
