PAX CHEZ, SPY
WAS IN PILIKiA

PAX Chez, Chinaman who has been
in the employ of the police as a spy
on gamblers, went out to do little
raiding on his own account last night.
He learned that Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingwoEth had gone home and then de-
cded that such a rainy night would
find all true gamblers engaged at their.
usual work. So he repaired to China
town He put his ear to many a door
and, sleuth-like, watched string of
Chinese vending their way into Smith
street from notel street. They all
entered the same building. He counted
them as they passed him and knew
that such a large number of men prob
ably did not live in that house There
fore they must have been going to a
game. Then PAX Chez Cecided to raid
the place.
Now PAX Chez has a reputation in
Chinatown. He is known as a fighter
of no mean ability. Time and again
he has served his time with Warden
Henry for assault and battery and ac-
cording to his own story he is "biabe-
me fife anyting-you know three things,
set fire house, stealing, an shootem to
kiIlem-they bad-fte no wrong" In
following up his rule of life PAX Chez
has landed himself behind the bars
many times, so many times that he de-
cided it would be better to work for
the police than to have them constantly
hunting him. So he became a spy
incidentally every Chinese gambler in
town knows PAX Chez and also knows
that he is a spy. So as each of the
Smith street tourists passed PAX Chez
last night he had one eye on the gamb-
ling house door and another on PAX
Chez.
According to PAX Chez he went to the
house in Smith street. He heard the |
noise of dice and dominoes, the clink- |
ing of money, the grunts of the losers, |
and knew that he had cornered his |
of himself he knocked on the door. |
There was no response. Then he !
knocked again. Then the door flew |
open. Seven Chinese each shouting |
You spy jumped out and in a twink |
ling there was rough and ready fight |
in progress. PAX Chez landed right |
and left and some one of the seven |
gave PAX a livel- jolt In one eye. An
other grabbed Pak's extended fist, held |
it securely, and bit it. The fellow held |
on and with his teeth broke the skin |
of PAX Chee's hand to such an extent |
that it bled. With his free hand PAX
delivered an upper-cut which would
have been a credit to Dave Barry, and
his opponent dropped the bone. PAX
then made tracks to the police station.
He asked for Chillingworth and on be-
ing told that the deputy sheriff was at
home he said he would return this
morning and tell the deputy all
about it.

NETTIE THE NEWS GIRL
HERE SATURDAY EVENING.

One of the most important engage
nenJs of the year. not from the stand
point OF theatrical effect, but from pop
uIar Interest will be the coming of
dainty Wanda Ludlow, and her excel
lent company on Dec. Bird next Satur-
day night. at the Opera House.
She will produce "Ncttie the News
Girl" a story Of life in New York.
The character is claimed to be a re
production Of what is to be seen on the
east side Of New York every day in
the year, the extremes being carefully
avoided and only that which is best
and noblest in the delineatiOn allowed
to creep in within the lines of the stu
alton.
The play affords Miss Ludlow every
opportunity to do excellent work and
she takes full advantage of these OF
portunities. The company assisting
her is claimed to be one of the best
OF the road, and the scenic accessor-
les are all hat are required to make
the production complete in every de-
tail.
There are so many plays on the road
that style themselves dramas that it
is really refreshing when one of ex-
ceptional merit presents itself. In
Nettie. the News Girl is promised a
play that stands in the latter class.
1t is full of pathos, comedy and SEN
sation artistically interviewer. For
heart throbs and smiles there has new
er been a play more cleyclly written.
The lines are bright, the comedy spark

TRY to do it."
The objector, after summoning into
is mind the sound Of jingling money,
tried. "R-r-r-tat-tat." he went. "Br-br-
bra-ra-ra- Chk-chkk-chk." Then he
smiled apologetically, for he had fail
ed. Not by the furthest stretch of the
imagination could 1t be said that he
had uttered a sound that resembled
moneys Jingle in the least degree.
q knew you couldn't do it," said the
young woman. ut is amazing how
many simple sounds there are that we
can't initiate, try as wc will. There Is,
for instance, the sound of a person
walking, the sound of a typewriting
machine in operation, the sound Of
running water. the sound Of a break
ing dish. You can't initiate those
commonplace noises. and l doubt II
any one in the world can Our vocal
capacity seems to US large, but 1t is

that Of many animals, and much more
