the desertiin scene in the second act,
a well dressed lady left the theater
in tears. and shortly afterward was
found outside the playhouse in an un'

oform. After she was taken to the hos.
pital and revived by the doctors, she
was asked why she had taken the
poison, and she replied that the scene
in Deserted at the Altar" was so WV
idly like similar scene in her own
life's history that she could not con
troll herself, and wanted to blot out
the memory of 1t by destroying her
life. This can be verified by every
newspaper in st. Louis, who devoted
columns to It at the time. Hence the
title is not exaggerated, as one can
see from the columns Of the press
throughout the world where cases Of
desertion at the church altar happen
frequently. Nor in the entire play is
there an impossible line or situation

OCTOBER.

Don Marquis, in Putnam's Monthly.
Cease to call sad or sober.
Merriest of months, October!
Patron of the bursting bins,
Reveler in wayside inns
/ can nowhere find a trace
OF the pensive in his face;
There is mingled wit and folly,
But the mad.cap lacks the grace
OF a thoughtful melancholy.
Spendthrift of the seasons gold,
How he loves to fling about
Treasure fiiched from summertime!
Never ruffling squire OF old
Better loved a tavern bout
When Prince Hal was in his prime.
Doubtlet slashed with gold and green;
Cloak of crimson, changful sheen,
opulently opaline.
OF the dews that gem his breast;
Frosty lace about his throat;
Scarlet plumes that fllrt and float
Backward in gay unrest
Where's another gallant drest
With such tricksy, gayety.
Such unlessoned vanity?
With his amber afternoons
And his pendant poets moons
With his twilights dashed with rose
From the red-lipped afterglows-
With his vocal airs at dawn
Breathing hints Of Helicon-
With the winding Of the horn
Where his huntsmen meet the morn
Bacchanalian bees that sip
Where his cider.presses drip
With his every pining breeze
Shaking from familiar trees
Apples Of Hesperides-
With the chuckle, chirp, and trill
OF his jolly brooks that spill
NIirth in tangled madrigals
Down pebble.iappled waterfallsi
Brooks that laugh and make escape
Through wild arbors where the grape
Puppies with a promise of
Racy vintage rare as love-
With his merry wanton air,
Mirth and vanity and folly,
Why should he be made to bear
Burden of some melancholy
Song that swoons and sinks with care?
O cease to sing him sad or sober
He'e a jolly dog, October!

A MYSTERY ABOUT THE TERRI
BILE FATE OF AN AGED Wo-
MAN-HAoss4,ooo IN
TRUNK.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 9.-un-
der circumstances which the coroner
believes to be suspicious, Mary Hill,
a woman of so years, was burned to
death in her home, at 100 Ellsworth
street. The woman, who was report
ed to be wealthy, had apartments up
ION third floor Of the house, and 1t
was in one Of these rooms that her
charred body was discovered after
the tiremen had subdued the blaze,
which was discovered in the house
about 9 o'clock in the morning.
Several skirts, with the pockets
turned inside out which were found
the fact that the aged women's peck.
etbook was missing, and that the room
showed evidence Of a struggle having
taken place, all make the coroner
think that some one may have visited
her in her room. If robbery was the
motive Of this intruder, he failed, for
in a trunk in the room the police
found $4,000.
The trunk was battered about the
lock, and the police think that II rob-
berry was attempted the man was
frightened by the fire before he could
open the trunk. The daughter of the
dead woman is firm In her belief that
her mother met with foul play.
Fire in the Ellsworth street house
was discovered by a policeman, who
turned in an alarm. When the fire.
men entered the house they found the
door to Mrs. Hills apartments locked,
with the key on the outside. This in
itself was cause for. suspicion.
Besides the $4,000 discovered in her
room. Mrs. Hill had a bank account
and was said to have had several
thousand dollars from the settlement
of her brothers. estate. The police
say that there was i'll feeling between
several members of the family over
money matters, but all the members
Of the family deny this.
