the twenty third Olympiad (6S8), the

merely as it diversifies the scene by the
introduction of horses, but also as it
brought in a totally new class of COM

sessed the finest horses and could hire
the most skillful drivers without any
personal superiority or power of bodily
display in themselves.

BeIasco's Hand In Evidence.

"The Music Master" was written by
Charles Klein. but it everywhere shows
touches of the master hand of David
Belasco. Mr.. Belasco's reputation for
accuracy and for attention to the req
uisites of dramatic effect were never
better illustrated.
The play rings true. The situations
are not forced, and it's action runs along
smoothly in well oiled grooves.
The object of the play is to keep Won
Barwig prominently before the audi
ence, and it in no point falls short in
this respect. warfield predominates at
all times. and in most instances the as
sociate roles are merely feeders to
the principal one.

[ shey were Rohans Was Anne capable of sacrificing her word for her love? It was doubtful.
 The last consideration that arose in his mind was an acute conjecture that the marquis would not be much bet ter satisfied with de Vitre for a suitor for his granddaughter than he would have been with Grafton The old man probably, nay, certainly, had formed his own plans, and there was without doubt a third suitor of his personal choosing awaiting Anne in France. This meant much. If Graf ton could succeed in matching the marquis determination against Anne's will-power, between de Vitre and the other, he might the more easily achieve success.
 He realized all these things, weighed them carefully, considered them ex- haustively, and racked his brain in lan endeayor to solve the problem His resolute determination was unabated That, his love for her, and her feeling for him, were the three things he counted upon to enable him to have his way and win her for his own. He was no longer boy; he did not ap- proach the problem lightly and care- lessly, but with a deliberate calmness which outwardly belied his passion. He was man thoughtful by nature and strengthened in character by the responsibilities of his position as the captain of a ship, and he deliberately determined to win the person, as he already possessed the heart of the French girl.
 It was 8 sort of game he played, with her for the stake. The grim old marquis, with his pride of race, fam fly and nation, and his ardent patriot ism; the handsome, dashing young Ga nadian, the unknown suitor, who was sure to be man of parts and condi-y tion, and the stubborn, determined lit- tie Eng1ishman would all prove fa- nous players Which would win? We'll, come what might, Grafton al- ready had Anne's heart, de Vitre her promise, the marquis her duty, and the unknown as yet, nothing. The heart was the strongest card, he de- cided
 Of her love he felt no doubt; but love and marriage were two things that rarely went together in the mind of the high nobility of France in those days. But stay! Anne was different As child, when he had known her best, she had known none Of these disagreeabIe convenances of the so- ciety of her day. Had her sojourn in Canada, her entrance into the gay lit tie world of New France, effected a revolution of her character?l He did not believe so.
 These were torturing questions all Evening found him still thinking of them and thinking alone. His wants had been attended to by Josette or

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-12-28

She had great pride of race, and from the French point of view she would be condescending ineffably in marrying a mere commoner For the matter of that, he thought, in his lov- ing humility, that no man was fit to possess this priceless jewel of woman hood. He placed her upon a level so high that she would have been com pelled to condescend to marry even a king, much less simple American gentleman. Marriage with him meant for her the renunciation of title, rank, station, possessions, country, family, friends, traditions he piled up the catalogue of sacrifices involved, in gloomy, ever-deepening humility. Still, other women had done such things; these were not insuperable obstacles.
 The last difficulty was the greatest There was de Vitre-a stumbling block, indeed. No man could have done more for another than he had done for the young Frenchman. He had twice saved his life, he had es- tablished his honor, and, by a singu- larly ironic trick of fate, he feared he had been the means of bestowing upon him the hand of the woman they both loved.
 His own sense of the obligation he had conferred upon that young Frenchman lay heavily upon his soul. He could not demand from him freely or even take from him by force what he would have wrested cheerfu1ly from another. A benefit conferred. however 1t may be considered by the recipient as benefit forgot, invariably estab- fishes 3 sense of obligation on him who confers 1t. Therefore, de Vitre was an obstacle of the most serious moment to the future progress of his happiness. How to contend with him he knew not. Certainly he could not make the relinquishment of the Frenchman's desire for Aane the price, or the reward, of his own past serv- ices. A genuine man, he could not even bear to have these services men, tioned; and that they so consistently remained in his thoughts gave him honorable uneasiness A very exalted and chivalric nature had Philip Graf ton. He was particularly nice on the point of honor
 That was not all either, for con- nected with de Vitre was the honor of the de Rohans. Anne, in the most public manner and of her own free will, had betrothed herself to the young Frenchman. She had Volun- tarily entered upon the relationship and assumed the obligation Her sense of honor was not less keen than his. She was woman, he remem- bered, imbued with all the traditions of that race whose proud boast it was that while they had not been born to the kingly degree and they would not condescend to the Drincely rank. yet

Under his buggy was a Smyrns rug, while his tippet of astrakan lay close by. A faint odor of cologne ema. mated from his garments as he waved his hands at reflection of himself fn the French mirror This reflection says the Baltimore American, the baby regarded as cousin German oi himself. and, as a true Bohemian, he offered to share his, bottle with the other baby.
 His 1nderclothes were of Egyptian wool, his dress of India linen, his ker- chief of China silk; the fur on his storm coat was of Thibet, while a Jap- anese chrysanthemum and Siberian crabapple lay just out >of his reach.
 The lace on his gown was Irish point, his socks were of Spanish meri- no.
 His mother was finishing her din- ner of Sicilian olives and Turkey, o1 which she would give the baby none on account of the Greece, while the father was somewhere hitting Scotch and soda, Swiss cheese and English walnuts.

The empress lays much stress on gentle ness good temper, economy. kind treat ment of the young and of relatives, but f1hinksUthat speech unrestrained is the real rock upon which most women split
 If your mouth is like closed door your words will become proverbial; but if it is like a running tap no heed will be paid to what you say. z
 Tn her additional chapter on educa- ton, which is really more or less dog gereI poem of about $50 lines, our au- thoress will be considered very disap- pointing by som4. So far from pleading for higher education for Chinese women, she urges. only that girls goyerness should teach her pupil to practice filial piety. virtue, propriety, department, good manners and domestic duties as a preparation for her entry into married life. Then, if she has no children to continue the ancestral line, she ia not to show jealousy, but rather satisfaction if her husband takes a subordinate wife. Supposing that he dies before her, she will be left like earth Withouttts heaven, and must transfer her dependence to her son and summon up her resolution to - face widowhood until death.

 PLAYERS.
 ~EANWHILE, what of the
 Countess Anne and Capt.
 Grafton? They had passed
 through a week of such mingled emotions, such alternations of toy and sorrow, of love and jealousy, of remembrances and anticipation, as could scarcely be described
 When the woman he loved left him alone the night he recognized her, after Chat rapturous exchange of kisses, Grafton felt himself transported to Heaven. He forgot in the happiness consequent upon his discovery of her Identity. the racial antagonism which should lie between them; he, forgot the great gulf of war which held them Asunder; he even forgot the engage ment of Anne to de Vitre. But the next morning, when the first glow of his passion had left him, he was enabled to view things in clearer light
 He carefully took account of the diff Actcut ODSldGl6S5 WHICH sS0pdTaL6Q, or might tend to separate, him from the woman he loved He intended to win her. come what might, and as the campaign was like to prove a difi- cult one, In which the odds were mainly against him, 1t behooved him to take stock of all opposition and carefully look over the field. He must think, he must plan, he must leave no stone unturned, lose no point in the game
 First of all he was an American, and that was different from an Eng lfshman. Anne. although she showed little of it to . casual inspection, was an American as well. That was a point gained The war, he believed, would presently be over That was another point in his favor If she loved himH she loved him! Who could doubt it after last night? But did she love him enough to brave the anger and defy the opposition of her gfandfather2 Did she love him enough fo marry him in despite of country, nationality public opinion? He shought so.
