lived years on the trip, and as she read

which she had kept, her resentment

OPIE READ.

The inimitable 0pie Read, au.
thor and lecturer, famous on two
continents, and presumably with
many years of strength OF body
and mental power ahead Of him,
was at the opera house last night
with his six feet four inches tower
ing before the large audience, his
face beaming with the play Of ex-
preston from the tireless dynamo
Of intellect in his massive head,
and his ready tongue coming
sentences, Furnished with the
brush of imagination, from the
rich treasures OF his mind. The
speaker was introduced by Hon.
Sam r. Henderson in a pleasing
manner and for one hour and forty
minutes, which did not seem half
20 long, gave a succession Of his
stories blending humor and pa
thos and drawing character sketch
es from life. 1t has been said that
he is the king Of American fun
makers and the one arch.dreamer
and true poet of America who does
not write verse. The patrons of
the Bryan lyceum course had a
rare treat in the presence of Mr..
Read last night and will not soon
forget how he played upon the
and fired imagination at
will.

He Was a Hero.

Eyes. the papers referred to me as a

"and L suppose I was and am one, but
I don't care to go through it again.
The cash reward is too small"
so you were a hero for cash?" was
asked
well, I didn't set out to be. but it
came to that I was 1oafng around a
town in Illinois when a horse ran
away with two ladies. He was max
ing for an open sewer when jumped
in and grabbed him and was dragged
over a brick pile and through the mud
and had a leg broken and a shoulder
dislocated. I saved the ladies', one of
whom was young, rich and handsome.
and who ought to have been grateful
and married me, but who visited me
in the hospital and looked down upon
my bed of pain to say:
Poor felloWl If it hadn't been for
you we should surely have been killed,
and I want you to know how thankful
we are and how much we admire your
action "
"And then what happened?" was
asked, as the drummer seemed to have
got through.
And then she left ffty-cent piece
on the pillow and walked out, and I
don't suppose I shall ever see her
again in my IifeY'-M- Quad.
