especially anxious 10 have him remain
for another week. TO play the role OF the
broken down tragedian in "Zaza," a
capital role. In which Mr. Turner is sure
10 make a decided hit. Teegraphic COM
munications between the Keith manage
ment and Mr. Calm soon brought the de-
sired permission. and Mr.. Turner will
therefore remain for the coming week.
This means, undeniably, pleasure for Mr..
Turner's score OF admirers. but Il also
means extra hard work when he returns
TO New York to prepare for his regular
season In that perpetual success, David
Harum."

assist me in my task?' He smiled as he made this request. and began to
 search the house. This official visit
 took me as much by surprise as would a thunderbolt from a clear sky My
 old father. suffering at that time from
 acute pneumonia. summoned up hts
 last strength and arose from his he'd.
 This silent. pale witness of the melan-
 choly proceedings made the scene. if
 possible. more intensely painful. Nv
 poor mother lost her self-control en-
 tirely, and tried to persuade the cap-
 tain of the gendarmes of my innocence.
 The gendarmes rummaged through all
 the belongings of my parents as well
 as of myself in the most unfeelins
 way. They paid especial attention to
 my books. letters and papers. The as-
 sistant of the city attorney neither
 helped nor hindered the gendarmes in
 their work. He walked absent-mind-
 edly through the rooms, as if the
 whole proceeding was none of his af-
 fair.
 The gendarmes read carefully all
 my letters and papers and examined all
 my books thoroughly, but found very little compromising or suspicious from a political point of view. At the con- clusion of the visit the captain showed
 me the written order of the chief of the gendarmes of the Livland district to arrest me.
 You see.' said the captain to me, have strict orders, but if you &C.,
 knowledge your crime I will leave you unmolested, on condition that you go l to Riga as states witness in the case against your former accomplices Choose for yourself. I did not hesitate to make a total denial of all the | charges preferred against me. My mo- tives were Aimply these: First, did
 not feel any remorse of conscience oh account of my relations with the free press, and did not want to play the part of hypocrite. Secondly. nothing could induce me to compromise any
 one politically. Thirdly. did not put my faith in the assertions and prom ises of the captain.
 My preparations were necessarily very short. It was late in the evening when I took leave of my parents and
 The gendarmes conducted me through I labyrinth of dark, low, narrow and chilly passages to the so-called Secret Corridor where political offenders are usually incarcerated. The warden took me to a massive iron clad door. His bunch of rusty keys rattled and clat- tered dismally as he opened the lock. I stepped into the cell The door closed behind me with a harsh clang Once more the bunch of keys rattled and
 clattered dismally, once more the lock turned; then the heavy steps of the
 warden died gradually away, and was left alone"

The Empress. very frightened, was getting up to leave, for she began to fear this mysterious man, but sum- moning courage. she said in a naughty tone: Tt is true that I am the Em- press, though no one knows 1t but my attendant. Tell me what you can of my future. tell me all, and tell me truly" at the same time offering him her hand and showing him the palm to examine; but the old seer never touched her jeweled fingers. Raising himself to his full height and dropping his staff, he held his hand aloft as an invocation to Allah. Looking down piteously on the dark figure of the Elm press, he murmured slowly: There is no God but God. and Mahomet is His Prophet. At your birth the stars fore told for you great power and greater sorrow. for your happiness will only be temporary. but your sorrow will last forever. You are doomed to lose your throne, your husband and your son and wander alone through the world like a lost star.
 These events will not happen at once. for the blow would kill you. To you as an Empress it will not be per- mitted to enter the land of your hus- band or son except by permission of those you despise. You will have to seek a home with strangers, and the dress of woe will never leave your form; your jewels will be but tear drops. I have said" He had scarcely ceased when tho Empress. terrified and angry, threw at his feet a puNse of gold, crying out: ."You base impostor. take the fruit and reward of your lies and let me out of your den!" Then, rushing hurriedly out, she ran swiftly away. This strange and unhappy pre- diction was made in 1869: how literally 1t has been fulfilled events have proved.

The Dervish's Phophecy.

The Empress Eugenie will have sad memories revived in her visit to Egypt now. When she last visited Cairo she was in the enjoyment of all that the world could give-beauty of rare type admired by all. a happy wife. a proud mother. a throne which she gracefully occupied. It was at Cairo that she heard of a celebrated dervish and determined to consult him. Thick ly yelled and disguised. she went, ac- companied by one of her ladies in at tendance, to see him. On entering his abode the derYish rose. made low obeisance and addressed her thus: Welcome. you are thrice welcome to my humble dwelling. o Empressr' Eu- genie, vexed and astonished, replied: i How do you know that I am an Elm press. and who told you was coming here?" The dervish answered.: ''rhe stars and Mahomet know everything. I knew since your arrival in Egypt that you would come to me, and I have pa- tient1y waited every night, for after ward am commanded by Allah to make my last journey to Mecca and die1

The First Dolls.

 The first dolls of which there is any knowledge were found among the treasures | unearthed from the ruins of Babylon. They
 were small figures in terra cotta and ivory. beautifully carved. and must have been l fascinating playthings for the little Assyrian children.
 The little girls of Syria had mechanical
 dolls. The arms and legs were moved by
 pulling strings, much after the fashion of jumping-Jack
 The dolls the classic Greek children play ed with were made of wax and clay. deco | rated with bright colors, One kind had | movable limbs and its clothes were made
 to take off and put on. Every doll had | bed of its own. These dolls represented gods and heroes, but whatever they were
 meant to represent, they were dressed with loving care by the little Greeks.
 As these children married when they were
 very young. they played with their dolls
 until just before their wedding day. Then 1 they made a sacrifice of all their toys.
 dolls and clothes included. They dedicated | them a pious offering to some deity. If
 the little girl died before she grown up her dolls were buried with her.
 Thus 1t hapuens that the kind and fash
 ion of dolls which comforted these ancient
 children are known. All the specimens which are kept with such great care be- hind glass doors in various museums were taken from some tiny tomb.

HUNT FOR A NEGRO.
Oyster Bay Stirred Up Over Repeated
 Outrages.


 Oyster Bay Special.
 Wrought up to pitch of intense ex- citement by a third crime within two months committed by negro, citizens of this town--the home of President Roosevelt---tonight are making prepa- rations to surround Poverty Hollow. a swamp on the outskirts, and hunt down an unknown negro, who Is believed to have made it his hiding place after attacking and robbing a woman in her home.
 The citizens are under the lead of Constable McCabe. and in connection with the present case are angrily re- l calling the murderous attack made upon pr. Keyser. two months ago. by a negro named Diamond Dick" who has just been sentenced to seven years | Imprisonment for his crime, and the attack made upon a woman a week ago by another negro. who Is now serv- | ing sentence in prison: and it Is be- lieved that If the man now sought is caught he will run a fair chance Of meeting with summary justice. The victim of this third attack by a negro is Mrs. T. E. Southard. middle aged woman, mother of a family. and wife of a carpenter. who Is highly re- spected in this place, and the sympa- | thy with her is all the greater because she Is a cripple.
 From the description of the negro McCabe, expressed the opinion that he was a stranger in the place.

felt should be remedied; but, little by little, as her patience ebbed, her silence would become more pronounced, like the lull before the storm; then, some day, upon arriving at the thea tre, she would walk into the box office and don certain red Paisley shawl which she kept in reserve as one of the most impressive pieces of stage property in the house. It fittlngly re- flected her mood So long as that shawl was in evidence. all the people of the Arch, from stage carpenter to leading. mae re9lized that perfection in the performance of duty was the smallest return they could give for their salaries.

Snyder was a clever actor, with one of the shrewdest and aptest wits pos sessed by any comedian of his day. He had too the habit of tardiness to a pronounced degree. If there was a virtue on which Mrs. Drew particular | ly insisted, 1t was punctuality. Her | rule of promptness, the company knew, | was to be rigidly kept as the early Puritans kept the Blue Laws.

 With all the anguish of the separa- tion depicted on his face, Synder leaned forward and, with sobs in his voice, | exclaimed,-

 For the space of a second nobody breathed. We instinctively looked at the Duchess. Just for an instant ner scintillating eyes looked back into his that seemed almost fearful in their so- licitude.

Personal and PertInent.

The putting of a novel into a drama Is a matter to be studied today. It is done so often and so lily.
 The changes from romance to read to romance are so many that an author would scarcely know the child of his own brain.
 Yet no matter if it pays.
 If 1t pays. If 1t pays. That is the criterion everything is judged by to- day. Things must pay. or how can we live-and ride in an automobile.
 There was "Vanity Fair" this season with it's good run. How closely to the book kept the stage version. How delightful, how artistic, was the whole.
 Last season we had the bright book, Nancy Stair" Was there a real Nancy Stair. We'll. If there wasn't there ought to have been.
 A rarely fascinating creature was Nancy Stair of. the book. A gay, high-bred, intellectual CO., quettish, true, loyal, loving woman. All lost in the play. Nancy is a >hoyden who spends her stage life running after a stiff. unlov- erly Dandy. Dandy was a fairly good fellow in the book. He wooed right well.
 But he forgot how. in the play, And Nancy has it all to do. The love of Jack Stair for his Gyp- sey Queen wife was a gem in the book, That of necessity, drops out of the set ting of the play. The play must do with only one generation of lovers, of course.
 The love of Jack Stair for his daugh- ter, their common love of all that was
 
 and nature was the chief beauty and the play. ,A* Why? It was good enough for anywhere. The Dukes character changes un- accountably for the better in the play and yet that change is most out of drawing and inartistic. The worst and most impossible scene between Nancy and the Duke of Borth- wick in the book is put bodily into the play. So much for art. When put be- fore the galleries color must, 1t seems | be put on with towel.

But all the | excellent Burns study and work of the | novelist is wiped out Burns is a vapid gentleman on the stage. And who
 wants our jolly plough boy that way? Burns who wrote so we'll of love, of
 tenderness, of nobility. of honest great ness. and yet who sowed sorrows for himself and others on every field he trod.

 l The court scene has lost all It's excel lence. It is absurb. l The reason for the killing of the Duke is drained dry of sense. The points of the plot are all shown before hand. They are stuck up every where like lightning rods to prevent possible stroke of surprise of pleas- urable wonderment. l But the songs! | The old Scotch songs. The Burns songs. An! how sweet. How true. How fine. The whole play is full of most good scenic effects, with good rollicking singing. But a con secutive. artistic sequence of cause and l effect and climax.
