reserve, 'but perhaps you came to
offer some explanation of the extra
ordinary manner in which you thought
fit to entertain us last night. If So
"The fact is," said Horace, looking
into his hat, 81 came because / was
rather anxious about the professor"
"About my husband?" said the poor
lady, with a really heroic effort to
appear surprised. "He-is-as well as
could be expected. Why should you
suppose otherwse?' she added, with a
fash of suspicion.
II fancied perhaps that-that he
mightn't be quite himself today" said
Horace with his eyes on the carpet.
81 see," said Mrs. Futvoye, regaining
her composure, "you were afraid that
all those foreign dishes might not have
agreed with him. But, except that he
is a little irritable this afternoon, he
is much as usual"
"Tm delighted to hear it," said
Horace, with reviving hope. "Do you
think he would see me for moment?"
"Great heavens, mol" cried Mrs.
Futvoye, with an irrepressible start.
81 mean," she explained, that, after
what took place last night, Anthony
my husband very properly feels that
an interview would be too painful"
II can only say" replied the coura-
geous woman, "that you would find
him considerably altered now"
Horace had no difficulty in believing
it. cat least l may see Sylvia?' he
pleaded.
NO" said Mrs. Futvoye, 81 really
can't have Sylvia disturbed just now.
She is very busy helping her father.
Anthony has to read a paper at one
of his societies tomorrow night, and
she is writing it out from his dicta-
ton"
If any departure from strict truth
can ever be excusable, this surely was
one; unfortunately, just then Sylvia
herself burst into the room.

Horace in her quick agitation, "do come

broke off, as she saw who was in the

HANDSOME INDIAN
Is in TROUBLE

Tillicum George, an Indian, was fined
$25 and costs in the police court yester-
day. He was charged with carrying
concealed weapons in the shape of a
Is 4erge butcher knife, and attempting to
draw it ON Officer Dan O'Leary when
arrested.
George, through an interpreter, told
the court he was innocent and he want
to call as witness one "Cultus Joe"
but that worthy was soaked with whis-
key and could not be brought into the
courtroom.
At the time the officer arrested the
Indian two whites were struggling with
him trying to get away. George want
ed them to furnish him with more
whiskey. While the policeman was
looking after the white men George
made dash for liberty and the officer
gave chase, finally running him into
the alley where he was stopped.
George is a romantic looking ST.
wash, with long coal black hair and
small bead-like eyes. He shows evil
dence of having been handsome buck
in his younger days. He has feet and
hands smaller than most women.

FED Role.

The Bostonians sang "The Serenade"
at the Spo kane last night and the comic
opera made a decided impression on
the theater-goers of the city. All the
performers did fine work, and little
Miss thinner and her voice were es-
pecially captivating. OF course Bar
nabee and Macdonald were good-they
always are-but the music enjoyed
most by the audience was the clear,
bell tones of "Yvonne."
There came near being no opera
at all last night, for the Bostonians
were snowbound in the Occur d'Alenes
and didn't arrive on time. 1t was
$3.50 o'clock before the curtain was
finally raised. The courtesy of the
managers was highly appreciated and
did much to keep the audience good
natured when they gave a glance "be.
hind the scenes"
Talk about hustle and hustle and
several other species of strenuous
doings-they were all there while the
stage setting was being arranged.
No sooner had the train pulled in
than it was captured by the draymen
who literally took enforced possession
Trunks and scenery was hauled to the
theatre and skidded onto the stage
faster than the lightning work of the
preachers in the vice crusade.
Then the audience was given a treat

know how dreadfully people kick when
they've got the govt" she remarked
presently.
ooh, yes, l do" said Horace, SYM
pathetically. cat least I can guess"
Especially when its in both legs"
continued Sylvia.
"Or," said Horace gently, "in all
four"
"Ah, You do know" cried Sylvia
"Then it's all the more horrid of you
to come"
Dearest" said Horace, 'is not this
just the time when my place should be

"Not near papa, Horace" she put
in anxiously. at wouldn't be at all
safe"
"Do you really think I have any
fear for MYSELF"
Are You sure you quite know what
he is like now"
Il understand said Horace, trying
to put it as considerably as possible
chat casual observer, who didn't
know your father, might mistake him
at first sight, for-for some sort OF
quadruped."
He's a mule" sobbed Sylvia, break
ing down entirely. II could bear it
better if he had been a nice mule
B-but he isn't"
Whatever he may be-" declared
Horace, as he knelt by her chair en-
deavoring to comfort her, nothing
can alter my profound respect for him
And you must let me see him, Sylvia,
because fully believe l shall be able
to cheer him up"
eff You imagine you can persuade
him toto laugh it off, said Sylvia
tearfully. n
81 wasn't proposing to try and make
him see the humorous side of the
situation" Horace mildly explained
81 trust j have more tact than that
but he may be glad to know that, at
the worst, it is only temporary in
convenience. I'll take care that he'll
be all right again before long"
She started up and looked at him
her eyes widened with growing dread
and mistrust. eff you can speak like
that" she said, ut must have been
you who-No, I can't believe tit
would be too horrible!"
81 who did what, Sylvia? Weren't
You there when-when it happened?"
NO." she replied. Il only heard
of it afterward. Mother heard papa
talking loudly in his study this morn
ing, as if he were angry with some
body, and at last she grew SO uneasy
she couldn't bear it any longer, and
went in to see what was the matter
with him. Dad was quite alone and
looking as usual, only little excited;
and tken, without the slightest warn
ing, just as she entered the room, he
changed slowly into mule before her
eyes! Anybody but mamma would
have lost her head and reused the
whole house. =
"Thank heaven she didn'tw 81

What Next?

One day a love-lorn actor tragically
blows out his brains and falls dead
across the threshold of his enamorita' s
room-the next, frightful encounter
and almost homicide occurs in the
private car of that famous band of
singers from the Bay state as they
journey towards Spokane. Surely this
town will soon have black ring around
it on theatrical peoples maps, and
may even be known as hoodoo. 1t
is tragic things to tragic people,
