TIE RETURN

one dark and cheerless April day.
When woods we've bare-and skies were
gray.
Far from the cheerful village street.
Wandered a boy. with shoeess feet
With brimless cap-and anxious face,
Showing dire hunger's cruel trace.
All day he'd vainly sought TO hnd
Some place OF shelter from the wind
At length a,s twilights shadows fell,
He saw n light within the dell.
Which from a cottage window cleaned.
And down his lonely pathway streamed.
He struggled on: % could he find
Within that home. a heart that's kind?
Would he be roughly turned away?.
As he had been. three times that day.
He feeby totters toward the light.
That made the frosty roadway bright.
He reached some steps.-climbed TO a

Glad voices--as I'm days long flown,
Before such hunger he had know
He trembles,-and as he recalls
The happy past:-He faints--and falls.
What noise is that?" says laughing
John,
And TO the hall came trooping on
Two boys.-three girls.-'whose eager eyes
Scan that poor wanderer. as he lies
who can he be?"-"Eiow came he here?"
They bend DER him Hes dead fear"
Mothers away, and father, too"
John, what do YOU think they would
do?"
II know" says John. II do not think"
They'd warm him,-then give food and
drink
Just tank right here, he might have
died
And morning bells ring Eastertide"
They move the stranger near the stove
To warm and feed him each one strove.

Just then a horse stopped at the door

The mother came-but when her eyes

As she exclaimed--"My Boy, My Ben.
How 1 have longed TO clasp you dearl
Glad Easter brings my flrst-born here.
OH Children listen-God Is good;
You did t.4e very best you could,
You little thought who was your guest
Or how your mother would be blest.
Your brother, dears; you never knew,

Now he's returned no more to roam
Back TO my heart and 10 his home
You'll not forget this Easters Joy.
That brings TO me. my long-lost boy"

From this II is reasonable 70 infer that

MANTELL'S RICHARD WAS
MOST MERlT0Rl0US

At the Providence Opera House last
evening Robert Mantel and his support
ing company were seen in Richard III"
The engagement concludes this evening
with a repetition OF this play.
Mr. Mantells Richard was n portrayal
OF the character in its several diverse
moods OF devilishness that never failed OF
effect. Mr. Mantell brings TO II
the freshening brush OF his own individ-
uality and his own virile art. and. In
none OF the classic roles that he has offer
ed this week. has he better demonstrated
his capacity for finished, II sometimes
humanity overwrought, stage artistry, the
substantial excellence OF hts -interpreta-
tive ideals and skill in their manifesto
tion.
IL is TO be trusted that the results OF
this revival OF the classic drama will be
sufficient from a financial point Of view,
as they plainly must be from the view
point OF the audiences, TO Justify future
seasons devoted 20 the same line OF work
Mr.. Mantell is eminently well fitted 70 as
sumo the mantle that Frederick Warde
laid down. and is, II anything. more YER
satile actor than Warde. The five char
acter parts he has offered this week have
demonstrated fine capacity for shading
his personality to their requiremnets. He
possesses the traditional tragic style tenn
pered, but not surrendered to the modern
manner. and there are few actors on the
stage today who excel him in the deliv-
cry OF blank verse.
IL is TO be hoped that he may remain
long before the public for the presenta-
tion OF the Shakespearean heavy dramas,
not as an occasional spectacular perform
ance. but as a regular feature of recur-
ring seasons.

FATE OF FATHER GAPoN.
Body Of Priest Found Hanging in
Villa Near Ozerki, Finland.

Body Of Priest Found Hanging in
Villa Near Ozerki, Finland.
ST. PETERSBURG-Th mystery of
the fate of Father Gapon apparently
was cleared up Sunday by the discov-
cry of a corpse, which has almost
positively been identified as that of
the former priest, hanging in the up
per chamber of a lonely villa in the
summer suburb of Ozerki. Finland.
The villa was rented April for the
summer and a deposit paid by an un-
known man from st. Petersburg, who,
after visiting the house several times
in company with a young workman,
disappeared April II, taking the key
with him. The proprietress of the
villa, alarmed at the nOnappearance
of the tenant, notified the police, who
entered the house. Knocking down q
door, they were confronted, by a body
in a long coat hanging from a nail,
the feet touching the floor. Decompo-
sition of the face made positive iden-
tification difficult, but the features re-
sembled those of GapOn and the
clothing corresponded with that worn
by the missing labor leader.
