He was surprised aR well as overjoyed
to see him sitting where thrown from
the fywheel. badly broken, bruised
and battered, but still conscious.
The Aywheel an1 passing through
the narrow space in which it run had
torn nearly every shred of clothing
from Martin. He was terribly bruis-
ed about his body. The hips and knee
caps were dislocated and the limbs
twisted and bruised, though no bones
were broken. 1t was a marvellous es-
cape from instant death.
With tender hands the injured man
was taken to the house at the mine.

envied Horace" in his position as her
acknowledged and beloved husband.
Mrs. Campbell has again demonstrate
ed that she has wonderful concep-
ton of the portrayal of home drama
tics, and no matter how long the lines
or trying the character, she is equal
to the occasion.
In her support, as Horace Werner"
Prof. Dawkins was an able assistant.
His part was the most difficult of the
mems, but the character of the hero
was ably portrayed.
Mrs. J. S Wilson took the difficult
part of "Nance' the gypsy hag. Her
makeup was right to dot and her
actions were as though she We're the
genuine. Mrs. Wilson has appeared
upon the Boards" in l.ovelock upon
other occasions and always accept
ably.
In Buck TYSON" the gypsy Tinker,
Emmitt Reid was the star actor of
the male "spacies.' With a costume
that would make the rankest Vaga-
bond green with envy. yet with many
discourses on morality and pheelos-
iphy" in his sayings, he kept the
house in an uproar whenever on the
stage. He has been prominent in
home Theatricals in Lovelock for some
years and in this his last appearance
has shown renewed ability.
The sparkling, vivacious, fun-mak-
ing character of the play was "tiiu-
GER the Gypsy fortune teller, adj
mirably acted by Miss Bessie Johns.
No wonder ''Dink' thought her be-
witching as she appeared upon the
stage in the studio scene, to pose
for that portrait. The audience
thought her so and loudly applapded
both of them in the closing scene of
that act.
The humorous characters of the
play were "Miss Prudence and Major
Bryan O'Harra l'uffy. As the former
Mrs. VIM r. Fits scored great sue
cess. As the writer filed the latter
roll, we leave the public to judge of

its success or failure. Interspersed
with the serious and tragic love
scenes of Miss lmmogene and Horace
came the desperate and comical eff
forts of Prudence to capture the
heart of the Major, who was Too old
bird to be caught with matrimonial
chaff."
The william of the play was an up
to-date character. Not one of the
bold, bloody handed kind, but crafty,
cunning sort, plotting to either marry
or murder the one who stood in the
way of his fame or fortune. In this
character J S. Wilson appeared and
that acceptably. In his every action
was shown true conception of his
part and how to act it. But, AS u.s.
ual the william got killed off IN the
last act. He died game.
The 'ne'er do-w well, "Dink Potts, p"
was ably represented by JAS Lochhead.
Although fighting against his appe-
tite for strong drink and to win the
gypsy fortune teller, he yet turned
ont to be quite an artist. He white
washed the chicken house beautifully;
Mr.. Lochhead was duly crushed and
appropriately gladdebed by the frowns
of the little gypsy fortune teller and,
of course, won out at last. He won
the hearts of the audience as well as
that of the little fortune teller.
The stately figure of Sam Strieff
appeared most appropriately as
Squire Ripley" the Virginan Land
lord. He was duly courteous to the
ladies and attentive to the wants of
his guests-when they paid for it.
He was also properly angered at the
extravaganza and tardiness of that
nigger "Lige" and astonshed at the
eccentric actions of Miss Imlnogene
in her search for husband In fact
Sam was "there with the goods"

who wore that blooming eye glass"
and was one Of the comedy characters
in the play, His lines we're few, but
the part was made up in the acting.
The youngest actor Of the twelve,
both in age snd experience, was Cisto
Parks. who appeared AZ the negro
servant "I.ige," the only niger who

part like duck to the water and
showed that he has promising talents

HOME TALENT PLAY
WAS GREAT SUCCESS
Attended by Large Number and
Loudly Applauded.
Each Actor Deserving of Praise and
loveIock Band Surprised the
Natives" by Excellent Playing.

Last Friday night was the Acme of
success in home talent plays for Love-
Jock. There have been many hcme
talent plays given here, nearly all
very good and in which the various
actors displayed a great degree of
talent. but We express not so much
our own opinion as to re-iterate that
which has been expressed by the ma
jority of the citizens this week, when
we state that the play, Because
Love You," given last Friday night
was the best ever given by home tai
ent in Lovelock,
This may not agree with the opin-
ion of every person, but it is assured
ly the sentiment of the vast majority.
There were twelve characters in
the play and each one had distinct
part in the humor and pathos; each
one was needed to make the play COM
plete and each actor had a clear con-
ception of the character he or she
was to represent, and portrayed that
character to .he best of his or her abil-
ity.
As "Miss Immogene," Mrs Claude
Campbell was most able actor. 1t
was q diifioult part, calling for the
portrayal of vivaciousness, strong
emotion, tragedy and romance. In
the charming costume as the Mistress
of the Courtleigh estates. Mrs Camp

enwraptured audience and everyone
