and for a moment looked at Alice as
she sat with hat hidden face. and
then mis- heart-burst came

and had one hand a prisoner.
Tell me, Alice" he pleaded, is
there any chance for me? Say just
one word-only one! Say yes'r'
The prisoned hand was at his lips
now, and then she raised her face, and
oh, divine sight-those blue eyes
were filed with tears
One instant flash of heaven only,
and then a change came. She arose
quickly and, turning away. said half
petulantly; oh, please don't speak OF

But still he held the little hand. and
as she tried to draw it away be said
pitifully: do you mean it, Alicef

Then she raised her one free arm

a piteous face toward him, exclaimed,

Frank frowned "Oh bother these

she would be all right, no matter if
she were as homely as a hedge fence"

The piece ran in London for over two
years, remained at the Herald Square
theatre in New York all of one season,
and is described as being one Of the
best and brightest of the transplanted
English pieces seen in this country in
years.
The story hinges on the Jealousy of
young bride who catches her aus
band in the arms Of a pretty milliner
who has come to her apartment to
deliver the hat she is to wear ON her
honeymoon trip to the seaside. Aston
ished and Inundated, her first thought
is to hide the matter from her mother
and she agrees to carry out the honey
moon preparations as if nothing had
happened. While Winnie, the girl
from Kay's, is in the fiat along comes
Max Hoggenheimer, a wealthy individ-
ual, who is looking for an apartment
He becomes enamoured of Winnie and
invites her to take a trip to the sea-
side in his automobile. She accepts
and when the characters are next seen
they are all at a resort called Flacton
The groom and Winnie again meet,
which makes the formers perfidv seem
all the more certain to his bride. The
young fellow protests his innocence,
but his wife will not listen to him.

Now what is the establishment and

company is actively identified with
the work of the Inland company in en-

formation is secured that the route
from Moscow to Lewiston has been
selected, the line extending from the
former city toward Genesee and
thence down the stream entering the
Potlatch below Julietta; thence down
Potlatch to the Clearwater river, and
thence down the north bank of the
latter stream to North Lewiston. The
further plans provide for bridging the
Clearwater river, and by securing
trackage rights through the city, reach
the lewiston Charleston bridge, over
which Charleston will be entered. The
bridge was built to ultimately serve
a street railway.
