They sat in the first row of the gal
lery. Now that the tumult Of the rush
was over the girl had time to take of
her hat and smooth her rumpled hair.
She was still GREATNESS, and her cheeks
We're glowing. The man beside her
turned and looked back trlumphantly.
1--WE did pretty well to get this far
'front.'" he said. There's a whole lot
of people back there standing up. It's
always a packed house for an all star
show"
Yes" assented the girl vaguely.
You see, It's all $3.50 new and so
strange. I've only been to the theater
once before in my life. That was when
Uncle Ben took me to see Shore Acres
Oh, that was so real! l could almost
believe it was true. Will this be like
Shore Acres do you think? p
The man spread his programme out
on his knee. well, no, not exactly"
he answered. This is Romeo and
Juliet l amt strong on Shakespeare
myself, but l thought you might like
to see it, Esther"
THANK you, Mr.. Stubbns." said the
girl, with a grateful glance.
She was Il pretty girl, fair haired and
fragile-'peaked looking" was the way
the people in her aunt's dingy east
side boarding house described her when
they spoke of her at ALL for as errand
girl, dish washer and general drudge
Esther was not used to much consid-
Grafton.
The boarders seldom noticed her.
True, there had been the gawky art
student who used to take delight in
drawing her thin. delicate profile. and
who always murmured "spirituelle"
when she passed him the pickles, but
until Mr.. Stubbins came no one ever
had given her so much as kind word.
He spoke to her when they met in the
hail. and once he had taken her to
walk in the park. 1t was after that
that he had asked her to go to the
theater.
When this piece Of news spread
among the bOarders they e,-c,,clgcd

turned out to be Romeo and Juliet 1t

seemed as if the climax had been
reached. One of the married women
shifted reminiscently II remember me
and Jim went years ago, when we
We're first engaged, and we held hands
all during the last act"
eff you marry Mr.. Stubbins you
won't have to work so hard" said an
other of the bOarders kindly.
Esther opened her brown eyes wide
in an astOnished glance. She had not
thought of Mr.. Stubbins as means OF
escape. He was not an ideal lover. He
was red faced and puffy, with abnor-
mally large hands and feet Still, as
Esther acknowledged to herself, he
was kind kinder than any one else had
ever been in all her life.
As for the play, the words Of Romeo
and Juliet" meant nothing to her. She
had never heard of that immortal trag-
edy of youth and love. But the thought
of going to the theater was wonder
full rift in the gray Of her existence.
When the great night arrived her fin
gers trembled so that she could hardly
fasten her simple gown. Her aunt,
kindled into kindness by the unexpect-
edness of the situation, helped her
dress. ut will be great thing FOR
you, Esty," she said, ''if Mr.. Stubbins
should ask you to marry him. Besides,
I've got enough to do to look after my
self without taking care Of you. nope
you'll always remember how kind I've
been to you, Esty. and how I've let you

more of the theater than Of Mr.. Stub

And now at last she was therein
side the theater. The lights, the mu-
sic. the sense of waiting for one knew
not what-all were intoxicating. she
hardly saw the hurrying ushers, the
people taking their places. At iengtn

OPTION ON OK BOW TUNNEL SITE
Big Electric Power on Snake River,
Near Huntington, Bought for
$25 ,000-Payment Made.

BOISE, Idaho, March 3d. ].
Winslow, the electrician, yesterday
closed a deal for an option on the OK
Bow tunnel site on the Snake river,
fifty miles below Huntington, from
Charles M. Mullen and his associates.
The price at which the property is
taken is $4,000, of which Mr.. Winslow
paid down $500. The balance is to be
paid within twelve months.
Mr.. Mullen had associated with him
IT, the location of the tunnel site five
well known citizens-Dr. w. D.
Springer, Ex-Governor Frank w. Hunt,
the late David Heron, R. NJ Fairchild
of Placerville.. and John H. Myers
and it is from these that the option
for the purchase of the location was
obtained.
The OK Bow site is one that Mr.
Mullen particularly has been working
upon for a long time. 1t is said to
be an exceptionally good site for the
generation of power. A tunnel will
have to be constructed some 1,400 feet
in length, securing a fall of about fif-
ty feet. 1t has been estimated that
$4,000 horse power can be generated
by a plant there at low water. The
detour of the stream is about three
miles.

Fifteen CARCOEs MAY Be EXPORTED
Wheat Shows Activity in Sound Mar
kets-Amount of Supplies Offered
Exceeded Expectations.

The re-awakened activity in wheat
has continued in the local market dur
ing the week, says the West Coast
Trade. The amount of supplies offer
ed has exceeded the expectations.
and indicates that there will yet be
exported from the Sound before the
season closes something like fifteen
cargOes. Holders are generally taking
advantage of the better demand from
European sources to unload, rather
than carry stocks forward into the
new crop year. and the sale of several
large lots abroad has relieved the sit
uation to a considerable extent so far
as exporters are concerned. While the
Improvement from the standpoint of
values which was in evidence a week
ago. has been supplanted by soften
ing tone, the net results are an ad-
vance of 1c locally, bluestem going to
CSC and club to &c.
There are still some conflicting re-
ports in regard to the winter wheat
conditions in the Pacific northwest,
but the trend of later advices are to
the effect that the damage has been
largely overestimated. In most sec
tons the plant has revived under
warmer weather and shows smaller in
Jury. the principal loss accustomed
arising from the heavy winds, which
ground. and the bulk of re-seeding is
| TO offset this condition.

HOW A PICTURE WAS SOLD
American Paid High Price for Paint ing Upon Singular Con-
 dition.

One of the pictures disposed of at the JaluZot sale was an immense mill. tary canvas shown at the salon in 1871 by NJ. Jean Paul Laurers. says Paris letter to the London Telegraph. "The Austrian Stan Marching Past the Body Of Marceau" (e520). Perhaps the chief interest in the picture is a curi. ious but true story told about it. When shown at the salon it was much admired, but no one felt inclined to buy till at last M. Turquet. then direc. tor of fine arts. to encourage the paint. CT purchased it out of his own pocket. Soon after man called upon him, say. ing that he knew he would like 10 get rid of it and offered a handsome sum. NJ. Turquet acceptci at oncc. but his visitor added that there was one es- sential condition to the bargain. Make me knight of the Legion of Honor The oficial was shocked. but the visitor went on: You need not mind. I am
 not Frenchman. but an American cit. izen. Give me the red ribbon and say i, is a reward for services rendered to French artv The oficial was per. suaded. the picture changed hands and
 the buyer became and is still a knight or the Legion of Honor. He eventually
 parted with the picture to N. Jaulzot.

DRUMMER'S CONSCIENCE.
It Was a Trihe Slow in Getting Buy. But There Was
 No Use for It.

 For instance?" was asked.
 Well for instance, I was making a flying trip through Illinois ten years ago and in a certain town [ asked a man to change a s10 bill for me. He complied, and I stood there and saw him count me out s1l and was mean enough not to say anything However. when I got away my conscience began to upbraid me. meant to make things right the first time [ went back. but it so happened that I did not strike the town again until last week All this time still, small voice was accusing me-
 But you made it right last week?"
 'I found the man and stated the cir. cumstance and said that I desired to make restitution, but he laughed and replied:
 "Yes. remember, my dear pan; but I folded two of the one-dollar bills over so that you counted them twice. really gave you only nine dollars. My conscience has also accused me. and-let's go out and have drink"

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

There are many theaTer- goers who have strong prejudice against ami maj acts and reasonably so because there are few dumb performers worth wasting time watching. Such persons will do well. however. 10 witness the performance at the Jacques this week which Is being given by Paul Sanders Great Danes and come away from the theater convinced that there Is one dog act in vaudeville really entertaining and genuinely remarkable. The dogs are nine in number and of enormous size. and they execute fears which re- feet great credit on the patience Of their trainer as well as their own in- teIIigence. Mir Sandor disguises them as shetland ponies and because Of their massive proportions tho decep- ton passes for the real thing. AT along the Poli circuit the act has made a tremendous hit and there is no lea
 son why fl should not do tine same here. The other numbers on the blli are well up to the standard set ny the headliner.
