efforts to avoid the impending danger are
not only successful In keeping the i'm
periled one from harm, but succeed In Gre

ness, her alertness. her accuracy of ex-
preston, all serve to carry the interest
1t is enough that the happenings. unim-
portant though they may be, afford rea-
son for the exquisite play of feature, the
charming display OF viVacity, and the
mirth-provoking utterance OF tones,
which give to Miss Crosman's embodl-
ment OF the contrary person such fasci-
nation. Her support is varied but Sus-
