And in the mist of explanations which followed,
with two added ushers arriving to put their expana-
tons in the mist, down went the lights, UP trembed
the first faint thread of violin, and the best be
done for fifteen minutes to abide in the knowl-
edge that the entire corps of ushers in the Metro
poltan the private detectives, the men at the door,
in the boX-o1ice, out on the very street with the
carriages, were each absorbed in the search, his
palm tingling with the phantom touch of his re-
ward
The rich Russian niece the word went round
niece Of the subscriber who looks like a cinnamon
bear!"
And meanwhile Sonia, with the most innocent
intent in the world, had turned aside in the most
innocent mistake. At the top of the grand stairway
Aunt Aniela more suspicious of the lift
than OF a bomb-Sonias eye had been caught by
an approaching cloud of butterfly women as blue
and gold and glitterng civilization allows; and
while she watched them disappearing with soft
laughter into the crimson interior of their waiting
box, Aunt Aniela and Uncle Sergius, ponderous,
absorbed near-sighted, had turned to mount
the second stairs. Thus when Sonia missed them

she kept on, with the most innocent intent in the
world, straight down the broad corridor of the
grand tier.
There followed the inevitable moment of bewilder-
ment, a return, hurried survey of the gay throng
in which she was herself like little lost butterfly
in an exceptionally brilliant field, and at last her
appeal to a faint polite usher who listened to
her anxious explanation, pricked to more than
professional regret at the quandary of the mist
of white and the blur of rose. And while he
listened, a bit bewildered by Sonias beauty and
by her appeal to him, he suddenly bethought
himself, as even faint polite ushers may do of an
expedient
The box of the Ho11idav-Noels! Was it not
empty? Had not the Hollday-Noels sailed that
day for Carlsbad, all the world knew? Why not
what was to prevent? In the name of charity now,
the little usher told himself, and immediately STAN
mered out suggestion given authority by the deep
brown of Sonias eyes and the cloud of her dark
hair Even an usher may look upon damsel in
distress
Sonia's eyes spark1ed bewilderingly. A box on
the grand tier! But to sit there safely in box
on the grand tier until her uncle came to claim her,
breathing out thousand opinons Perhaps even
to sit there alone and hear Dragomir sing! She
cast terrified glance her shoulder-the
round white shoulder from which the cloak had
sliPPed-and her glance was all of apprehension
but apprehension if the truth must be told lest her
Uncle Sergius be already returning.
Quickly theni Oh, but quickly!" she babe the
usher, her little gloved fingers fumbling in her bag
for her purse of seed-pearls.
In another instant the faint polite functionary
had thrown wide the door of the box of the Holiday
Noels and had closed it upon the vision of white and
rose and turned away, his professional mien fairly
dsarranged by the look of the crisp thing that
Sonia had slipped in his hand No wonder that he
thereafter remained loyal for a space though in
the teeth of the entire force of his brother ushers
An hour later, so he arranged it with himself he
would impart to the cinnamon bear how matters
stood Meanwhile in gratitude, he blessed the
Holiday -Noels
And SO did Sonia. For moment as the door
of the box closed upon her, she stood breathless
dazzled by the lights by the stir in the pit by the
shining of the great splendid horseshoe of boxes
of which she found herself part the next she had
stepped boldly forward and sunk in the depths of
plump, hosptable fauteuil of dark velvet, her
cloak falling in blur of rose about the slim grace
of her little figure in its mist of white.
But mol" she breathed in an ecstasy "Tkis
cannot be |, Sonia! There must this moment be
an earthquake beneath the pit'
There was no earthquake But twenty glasses
in the opposite boxes instantly turned ard

amazement went softly round Who was she-who
was this girl in the box of the Holiday Noes? But
she was beautiful, distinguished. exquisite-her

and it must be that there will be earthquake
beneath the pit before the curtain lifts itself.
Opposite to Sonia in the shadow sat two deeper
shadows-her Aunt Anela and her Uncle Sergius-
the one pOnderous, suspicious OF a duty in every
pleasure, mound of purple and black; the other
ponderOus, suspicious of pleasure and duty alike,
a mound of opinion. The lights Fifth-ave.
flashed among these shadows and touched the Jet
and gems and the glass of Pince-neS and departed
without betraying anything of deeper interest,
only Sonia-Sonia, little, vibrant, eager thing in
mist of white cloaked by blur of rose; Sonia who
in the Joy of this night could almost imagine her
self back in ST. Petersburg and could almost forget
the long winter of her discomfort in the American
school where her Uncle Sergus-that mound of
opinion-had condemned her at the beginning of his
own indignant exile. How should it not be good,
thought Sonia, to be free at last of the convent
walls at large upon this great Fifth-ave. of America
with the opera less than hour away?
Il love it!' she said, half without knowing.
One loves ones friends Panienka. One only
likes occasions remarked the mound of opinion
from out the cave of shadow.
One cutivates repose when is twenty"
remarked the mound of purple and black in exactly
the same tone.
But l love it, all the same" whispered Sonia
to herself with the elastic convictions of twenty
In the glitter and crush of the carriage entrance
at the Metropolitan in the glitter and crush of the
lobby and corridor, Sonia looked about her with
eyes of delight. But it was Petersburg itself she
decided exultant1y: there were lights and jewels
and laughter at nothing all and the sounds of the
world in this America, which had seemed
made up of convent walls and wistful nuns who
spoke the language of gentle though perpetual
reproof.
4 shall hear the opera" Sonia repeated, longing

to draw in a deep breath of the
bright air, and l shall hear him
sing. Can he be so near-can
Dragomir himself really be beneath
this roof"
Sonia moved forward, smiling
a little for the very joy of the
hour, forgetful of the mound of
opinion, unconscious of the exist
ence of all the purple and black
in the world. Therefore, how it
happened is not in all respects
mystery; similar things occur in
broad daylight all day long; and
it must be borne in mind that this
great Aunt Amelia and this great
Uncle Sergius had long been wont
to come to the opera with no little
mist of white and blur of rose to
be considered. At all events, in
the light of what came after, they
must have ones merry forgiveness
for the perpleXity with which
they turned to each other outside
the door of their box in the second
tier; for it was inconceivable,
amazing, eminently impossible
but Sonia was not with them.
There was a moment of stifled
approaching well-bred, modula-
ted, conjugal approaching suited to
the lowering ear of the concerned
usher-then Aunt Amelia beloved
into the box and subsidized in a
torrent of drapery, and Uncle
Sergius, ponderous, suspicious of
the entire matter, bundled away
back down the corridor, alarm
in the very light upon his pi,tce-
neg. In ten minutes he returned,
the usher, with anxious, lifted
eyebrows, following after.

BREAK UP BEGGARS' TRUST
Police Corner Trio Whose Operations
May Keep Them in the
BastiIe .

A venerable looking man of about so
years, who is known about town as
Or" James Hickey and who appears
to be the personification of virtue in
all it's phases, was tried in Police Judge
Chambers court yesterday on a charge
of vagrancy, and will be sentenced this
morning.
The real offense with which DR."
Hickey is accused is that he has been
living off the money obtained by two
blind beggars, John Virginia and john
ME Taylor with whom he has been
living at 224 South Main street
The police say that "Dr." Hickey is
one of the smoothest crooks who has
ever been in Los Angeles. His attitude
in court yesterday would have aroused
the sympathy of one not overly soft
hearted, for he assumed the expression
of one of the medieval martyrs, and he
seemed to be downhearted over the dis
grace of his trial in the police court.
The two beggars were also arrested,
and Johnnie Taylor was tried with
Or: Ric.ev. Virginia will be tried
Friday. Taylor pleaded guilty and was
fined $50.
Taylor Is the old fellow who sits on
the street corners With a huge raised
letter Bible and reads aloud to attract
the sympathies of passersby. A short
time ago he was a member of one of
the local Methodist churches and re-
ceived aid from them. Lately 1t is said
he has been drinking. and the churcnes
have refused to render him further
assistance.
The police say that he, as well as Vir-
glnia, are unworthy of help, as both
have saved large sums of money from
the coins cropped into their cups by
charitabl people.

"oLD NICK" AGAIN IN JAIL
Familiar Character Welcomed Back
by His oId-Time Jail
Mates

Nick Sennett, familiarly known to the
police as "Old Nick" was arrested
Tuesday night on charge of vagrancy
and appeared before Police Judge
Chambers yesterday morning. He asked
for time in which to plead his case and
was given until Thursday morning.
Niek'g presence about the city jail was
greeted with shout of JOY by every
officer there, as Nick has not paid them
a visit for a long time. 1t has been the
experience of nearly every officer IN
town to arrest Nick for drunkenness al
one time or another, but for the past
few months Nick has been ION the
water wagon" and has kept shy OF
the police.
When Nick quit drinking he also
quit working. He reasoned, no doubt,
that there was no use working when
one did not need cash to buy liquor
He has been seen loafing about the
streets for several months, and the
police had just been yearning to en-
tertain him again. Tuesday night hs
gave them the opportunity and was
given a cordial welcome. Even Judge
Chambers severe face lighted up with
with CHEEKY smile when "Old Nick
was led into the court room.

THIEVES GET HEAVY BOOTY

The Superintendent Of the Amalga-

Angeles, reported to the police yester-
day that thieves had stolen over 400
pounds of brass castings from the oil
yards Tuesday night.
The brass castings are estimated at
a value of about 5000, and few other
things were also taken. The weight of
the stolen articles would have made
it necessary for the thieves to carry
off the booty in a wagon.
