That a theater proprietor is private
individual, engaged in a private business
and is under no implied obligation to
serve the public, is the opinion of JUS
tice ]. Hay Brown of the supreme court
of Pennsylvania, in decision handed
down yesterday. The case is the suit of
Wilbur Horney against Nixon & Zim
norman for damages for an alleged
wrong suffered by him and his family in
not getting seats for which they held
tickets for theatrical performance in
Philadelphia. Justice Brown says, "The
proprietor of theater is private in

business, which, though for the enter

to those whom he may agree to admit
to it."

CHAPTER XIII.
BeGPOGhal and
Respite

A/ HEN FRANK Armstrong entered the
w rock chamber in which Ermyn-
trude awaited him he was even more dis
concerted by her attitude than by
Vladimir Sassulitch's blunt words. He
expected to find her in mood in which
just anger blended with Indignation. AS
matter of fact, she was weeping
Now, Ermyntrude had not wept when
Prince Boris led her to the chapel of ST.
Stanislaus Then her youthful lady
ship contemplated the ordeal of matri-
mony with a stoical indifference that
betokened fixed adherence to the prin-
ciple that the end justifes the means.
To-day she wept. Clearly there was a
distinction between forced marriage with
Prince Melnikof in the one case and with
Captain Armstrong in the other.
The sight of her distress was more than
Frank could bear. He was at his wits
end for method of escape from the ex-
traordinary dilemma that faced him. 1t
was impossible to contract such a union
with the girl he loved, either with or
without her consent, yet to infuriate
men whose passions already were aroused
to fever heat, and whose lives were in
jeopardy. meant exposing Ermyntrude to
unreasonable danger
He knew much that was hidden from
her The Muscovite, queer blend of
East and West, can range in thought
from Eastern contempt OF women to ex-
cess of worship. Ivan Stephanovitch
could bargain coolly for the nuptials of
Natushka, as if she was handsome slave
destined by critical purchaser for some
seraglio in STEAMBOAT, while Prince Boris
would brave any peril, adopt any subter-
fuge or hidden device, to gain Ernyn-
trude as a WIFE Yet both men were
Cossacks, differentiated somewhat by
education, but capable alike of extremes
in love and war.
1t was essential that something should
be done to allay the girls agitation.
Frank forced himself to say calmly:
Il must not pretend that | do not
know the cause of your tears. Sassulitch
has told me the proposal he dared to
make to you. Ermyntrude, you must
endeavor not to yield TO despair Surely
there must be way out of the difficulty
which faces us"
There was no answer She sat in the
quaint, curved chair, forlornly picturesque
IN the midst of semi barbara surroundings.
with her face hidden in her hands, and
sobbing as if her heart was broken. He
bent over her, tenderly caressing her
hair as he might comfort sorrowing child
Ermyntrude, he said brokenly. Il
will do all that man can to save YOU.

1ldIQS, ana InuS eXtT1Cate you from an
unhappy predicament. Your father is
wealthy, and if no other resource pre-
sents itself | shall not scruple to bribe
some of 1van's followers to help YOU
For myself, | am prepared to encounter
any risk for your sake"
But Ermyntrude wept more than ever.
| am destined to bring misery on all
who come in contact with me-" she walled
My folly indeed has been punished
How you must despise me in your hearth
though indeed | do believe you will help
me to the end
The fiuttering words which escaped her
were not exactly those which Armstrong
expected. He completely lost such shreds
OF self-possession as remained Despise
Ermyntrude! Listen to her fearful self
condemnation? He might endure much;
but these things were insufferable.
he sank to his knees by her side, and
placed his arms around her, deluding
himself into the belief that a spoken
declaration of his love might steel her
into fortitude and show her the para
mount need there was for action if both
were to be saved from an intolerable
predicament
Ermyntrude, my dear one" he said,
and his voice sounded in his ears as if
he was speaking in a dream nothing on
earth but the sight of your agony would
unlock my lips. How can / harbor the
thoughts with which you credit me when
L have loved you almost from the first
happy hour | met you?'
She started convulsively, yet kept her
face hidden He bit his lips in his deter
m1nation not to spare himself When she
realized his plight, surely she would strive
to assist In devising some means of rescue?
L know too well" he went on, THAT
my love is hopeless. IT, in other DAYS.
l weakly permitted myself the delight of
seeing and speaking to you | had at
least the requisite strength of mind to
leave you with my poor secret hidden in
my heart"
Somehow Ermyntrude's head was now
resting on his shoulder. In his excite
ment he did not perceive that he was
hugg4ng her IN a way that was exceed
ingly lover-hke, nor did she seem to re-
sent the proceeding
Il tell you this now he fercelv per-
sisted, so that you NAV understand"
oiiy SIZE whispered,
that it is better for you to speak than
for Sassuhtch to act as your intercessor."
Her face was raised toward his now.
Her beautiful eyes, tear-laden it is true,
were smiling at him in all confidence.
A blush, such as was never evoked by
the eager pleading of the Prince, incar-
dinated her face and neck Under such
conditions, when the heart gallops, a
man may be forgiven if he leaps barriers
he deemed insurmountable in cold blood.
Frank gazed at her for few seconds
of tunultuous silence. "Ermyntrude!"
he cried, "can it be possible that you
love me?"
Had you asked me-" she murmured,
g might have known it sooner
Thus it CHANGED that Natushka, whose
personal troubles did not cause her to
forget the claims of hospitality, entering
the room on some housewifelv errand,
saw them locked in each others embrace,
saw them exchange their fret kiss.
She withdrew hastily Your mission
prospers, she said bitterly to Sassulitch.
