.ELks NIGHT At
THE OPERA HOUSE

The coming show for the benefit of
the Elks will be given two nights at
the Opera House, October 81 and No
yember ?, and it promises to be really
very good, for it is not, strictly speak
ing, by amateurs. Mr.. Hooley is a
professional and has been on the stage
for years. while Mrs. McLennan was a
professional before marrying the doctor
and while on the stage supported many
well known stars, and she shows the
same professional spirit today. As
offset to Mr. Hoolev. With two such
people in the comedy roles it may be
said that Finnigan the Millionaire -
will he as well played as if the entire
east was professional. The other mem
bers of the company are equally good
in their respective parts, as they are
east for roles which suit their DISPOSE,
tions, in consequence of which they are
at ease throughout the play and there
is no evidence of stage fright. They
are enthusiastic in their work and at
tend rehearsals every night, and this
will prove beneficial to them the night
of the performance, Great attention
has been paid to the costuming, not
part is overdressed. The play is
mirth provoker from start to finish.

Too many farmers have the

yourself and your neighbor to

CHAPTER XII.

The clock was striking ten, and Jim
was waiting for Henry in the prayer,
closet. He had arranged all the de-
tails Of his departure. 1t was as
though he carried dead soul. SO calm
and void had been his feelings for the
past hours. He had stayed away from
the dinner-party on some pretext, and
his man had already started for Lon
don with his luggage to be left at
his club. When the servant returned
the following morning. as he suppos-
ed to accompany his master to town
he would find him gone. By the time
the discovery Of the deficit was made
Jim would be aboard the steamer that
was to carry him across the Atlantic.
Sounds from the drawing room told
him that dinner was over. He sat
twirling his travelling hat; on chair
near by lay his coat. The chimes of
the last notes of -, church-bell were
dying away as Henry hurriedly enter.
ed. Jim looked up and studied his
cousins face, and he saw by his man
ner that some word of hope must have
reached him from Lady Elizabeth.
Save for a half-suppresed exclamation
from Henry as he noticed Jim's travel
ing clothes, neither of the men spoke
Henry flung himself into a chair; he
could feel Jim's eyes on his face.
Damn it, whv don't you speak?" lie

Jim quietly asked. Have you made
your peace with Diana?"
What would be the use now?" He
knew that his mother had told Jim the
truth. Why did Jim not refer to it.?
Perhaps there was, as his mother sug-
gested, way out of this; If so, why
in Heavens name should the torture
be continued But Jim remained 81

hesitated Henry might be-almost
she prayed that last nights. interview
ton had been denied her.
Knowing what she did she must
try to save her son-save her house
She drew a quick breath. She rose
and crossed to Jim, who was leaning
against the mantel; his figure dropped
inert and helpless. hers grew stronger
and more rigid until she stood over
She took both Of his unresisting

it must be. can't you think of some
way to help-us--" she hesitated or
the word. Cant you make greater
sacrifice. You are the only one who
can save us from ruin and dishonor
Will you?
In silence he looked into her un
flinching eyes. From her feverish
brain to his strained sensibilities came
the unmistakable message. Was his
love great enough to serve to this end
to make this supreme immolation?
He threw back his head and closed his
eyes. The seconds slipped by-nei
Their relaxed the hold each had on the
other.
Yes, to serve-to give-that was
love. Remuneration would mean the
salvation of so many-to Di, and the
life of the delicate old man so close
ly entwined with hers The honor o1
his house-this proud old woman!
Through Henry, peace at least to d.
ana. What mattered his life now
why not? But what he did must be
done at once, he could brook no delay
Again he looked deep into his aunt's
eyes.

only way-the only way"
God bless you!-God bless" she
sobbed. as she clune to his hand.
But Jim evaded all further words
Leave me. Later I'll see Henry"
The dressing-bell sounded. He led
her to the door. opened it, and watch
ed her pass along the long corridor
with its portraits of the dead Wynne
gates lining the walls. But Jim made
no effort to obey the summons of the
bell He returned to the prayer-closet;
he wanted to be alone.
In his dressing-room Henry receiv
ed two messages. One was from his
mother, 1t said, Courage; the other
note read: Come to the prayer
closet at ten.-Jim."
At dinner Diana strained her eyes
in vain down the long table, and then
watched the great doors for Jim's ap-
pearance. but to no purpose. Had ne
obeyed her note. BY the desolation
of her heart she knew that she had
not wished such swift obedience.
