CHAPTER XXI.

However much or little Griswold
ever meant to say to Margery Grier-
son on any of his visits to Mereside,
she never suffered him to follow out
any programme of his own. She did
not do it now; and when he would
have spoken about the loss of the
launch and her own narrow escape
from drowning, she turned him aside
with word.
1T was an accident, and accidents
are always happening" she said,
lightly. Nobody was drowned, and
l hope nobody will be silly enough to
take cold. That wasn't why 1 was
hoping you would come"

led the way to wicker tete-a-tete in
the hammock corner.
NO. Sit down and be prepared to
give me what / have never had; q
good, sound fogging of advice-a
cool-headed mans advice. You'll do
it If 1 can make you understand how
much I need it."
His smile was self-depreciative.
You have hit upon the worst pos
sible man, fear. I'm more in need
of counsel myself than able to give
it,
i She regarded him with a curious
little smile twitching at the corners
of her piquant mouth. Are there
two of us?" she asked.
He saw beyond and behind the
smile; saw troubled depths in the
bright eyes, and was suddenly moved
to pity, though why she should be
pitied he could not guess. The pity
was the first step on the~way to other
things, but this he did not suspect.
He was conscious only of certain
pleasure in her nearness; f1attered a
little, too, as any man would be, by
her implied promise to take help
from him.
Il can't imagine your leaning on
anyone" he said. "But if a broken

There was a little pause, and
though she was looking past him,
there was certain raptness in her
eyes that was new to him.
He is very ruthless man. at

hard and unbending, and terribly
self-centered. but with eyes that see
through all shams but his own. He

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Lady Roses Daughter was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night by one of the most superb casts that ever appear ed in local theatre. It is not often that the theatre going public Is treated to so well balanced a company, but 1t might be truly said of this one headed by Miss Fay Davis that there is not a weak person in it.
 Ida Vernon as Lady Dalaf1eld, the jeal- ous woman who believes that Julie Le Breton has usurped her place as leader or the smartest and brightest set in Lon oon, does the greatest piece of acting seen Tn some time. She has the role of an all most blind invalid, confined most of the time to her chair, whose temper is some- thlns to be feared. She plays the part without overdoing 1t.
 MISS Davis, as Julie Le Breton, dis Plays remarkable ability in portraying ner part, but her acting is affected at times. She has an unnatural way of shrugglng her shoulders, and she has not a graceful walk At times her changes rom the gayest of the gay to the saddest or the sad are too sudden She is grand In the scene where she tells Lord Lack lngton that she is the outcast daughter or ms daughter, whom he had refused to recognize because she was faithless to her husband.
 Jacob Delafield, the part of Guy Stand lng' admits of several scenes where great acting Is required, and he is cana ple or the part. William Curtleigh is good as Captain Warkworth. The best character part is that of Sir Wilfrid Bury, a diplomat played by Arthur Elliott. It would be hard to improve on his work
 The play follows Mrs. Wards book in most places, and 1t might not be classed among the great stage productions. It IS another of the problem plays on social life.

Every one knows how readily the heart goes out to a pretty. witty, volatile. head strong heart strong girl. Such is Polly, the merry little whirlwind character which Adelaide Thurston plays in her present great success, Paul Wilstach' g comedy of old Georgetown, which she presents Thursday matinee and night at the Jefferson theatre. Polly has all the young men of her acquaintance by the ears and knows 1t and likes 1t. She en- counters one young man, however. who is described to her as a mans man. The idea is a horror to her. She can't endure the expression, but she finds that she very much more than endures the man who under her irresistible charms soon diseloses that he is not mans man." but "womans man." and especially one woman's man.

.POLICE LOOK UP
 GAMBLING HOUSES
Several Places Visited Were
 Found Practically Deserted
SPORTS REPORTED LEAVING
Police Are Instructed to Enter Several Times Daily Every Place Where There Is Supposed to Be
 Gambling.

The police had a hard time yesterday finding any gamblers in any of the vari- ous places where games are supposed to be running. In fact so scarce were the gamblers in the various places that the first days report to Chief wier was very brief.
 Several of the places where the police went are said to have been practically closed, and no one was found in them, al though the patrolmen entered them sev- eral times. At other places very little is doing, it is said, and temporarily at least the gamblers are hors de combat.
 There are not more than four gaming places in the city, it Is said, which are trying to run at present, and they are doing very little Only few regulars are to be found in these houses, most of the other people who usually go into inc nlaces heinz afraid of the new meth ods of Chief Wier.
 Places Closed.
 It is said that a week ago there were
 
 about fifteen places in the city where regular games were supposed 10 pc run ming, but several of them are now closed for good. Many gamblers have le1t the city, and incidentally not a few or them have skipped their bonds and left then bondsmen to pay up
 In the recent raids of the police there were large numbers of gamblers arrest ed and allowed to make bonds Mahy ol them were gamblers who have recently come to Birmingham, and as soon as this crusade was started they left town. The bondsmen are responsible for the amounts of the bonds, which was in most ln- stances sl00 and some of them fear that they will have to pay if forfeiture Is taken against them.
 Chief Wier's Orders.
 At roll call yesterday Chief Weir had an order read to every policeman in structing him to enter every place on his beat where gambling business was supposed to be in operation, and get the name of every man present. The instruc- tions are to enter the places several times daily.
 Captain Johnston and Policeman Will Murphy are on special detail to secure these names and to aid in closing up the gambling houses. They are making regu- lar rounds
 There were more gamblers to be seen on the streets yesterday than is custom ary, all those employed in the various houses coming out so as to escape being listed

The Professors Love Story.

The Professors Love Story" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight In speaking of a recent performance in Montgomery the Advertiser said
 One of the best comedies, one of the most delightful entertainments of Mont gomery's theatrical season mas come and gone. The Professors Love Story" at the Montgomery theatre last night, was quaint, of absorbing interest, and of rare charm
 It was exhlarating, this odd and fasci- hating love story, which unfolds so naturally, with such gentle humor, and runs it's way along sunny ways of laugh ter to showdowy and subtle pathos
 It is one of the discouraging signs of the times that bizarre and mediocre musical comedy could fill the house when a comedy of genuine literary merit, woven together in the full understanding of human hearts, and interpreted by an artistic actor with @ more than competent supporting company should play to many empty seats. This condition is not exact- ly creditable to latter day theatre goers. Assuredy those who sat under the spell of last nights performance had reason to congratulate themselves.
 The audience eagerly watched the story unfolded, repressing at times the spell of laughter lest a word should be lost, breaking Into spontaneous applause when the descending curtain broke the spell.
 The story is by Barrie the little Scotch man with the wonderful insight into hearts and with a rare power of stirring emotions. His delicate, but irresistible sentiment, his quaint and effective humor. and his satire were never displayed to better advantage than "The Professors Love Story" But Barrie was not alone responsible for the success of last nights performance. The play which a genius wrote was interpreted by an artist, a much abused word, but the right one to apply to Harry Beresford.
