A FIRE PRODUCTION

Prof. Hepburn's amateur dramatic company Tuesday evening produced the laughable farce My Wife Will Be Back Directly" followed by the drama "Ab- sence Makes the Heart Grow Ponder to an appreciative audience at Red Men g Hall. The lateness of the performance and lack of space forbids a detailed ac- count, but we must state that the two performances reflect added credit upon Prof. Hepburn's ability as an instructor as well as upon those Wrangsll young folks who have assisted him.
 Prof. Hepburn has been here less than a month, yet he has staged three plays, drilled several classes in social etiquette and dancing, and been the cause of a great improvement to the stage, all of which goes to prove that he has worked hard and is justly entitled to what little of this worlds goods he gained while here. He goes from here to Skagway.

Since the DAY they mad talked on the
terrace he had seen Eve only thrice
and always in the presence of others.
Since the night of his first coming she
had not invaded his domain, and he
wondered what this new departure
might mean.
His thought of her had been less
vivid in the last few days, for, though
still using steady discretion he had
been drawn gradually nearer the fas-
cinating whirlpool of new interests
and new work. shut his eyes ms he
might. there was no denying that this
moment, so personally vital to him,
was politically vital to the whole coun-
try and that by curious coincidence
Chlcote's position we'll nigh forced
him to take an active interest IN the
situation Again and again the sug
gestion had arisen that should the
emoldering fire in Persia break into a
flame Chilcotes commercial interests
would facilitate would practically
compel-his standing in in the cam
pnigu against the government.
The little incident Of the tea table,
recalling the social side Of his obliga-
tions, had aroused the realization Of
greater things. As he stood meditative-
ly IN the middle of the room he saw
suddenly how absorbed he had become
IN these greater things-how, in the
swing of congenal interests, he had
been borne insensibly forward, his ca
pacites expanding, his intelligence as
sorting itself. He had so undeniably
found his sphere that the idea Of usur-
patton had receded gently as by natu-
raj laws until his own personality had
begun to color the days work.
AS this knowledge came he wondered
quickly if It held a solution Of the
present little comedy; If Eve he'd seen
what others, he knew, had observed
that Chlcote was showing a grasp of
things that he had not exhibited for
years Then. as sound of skirts came
softly down the corridor, he squared
his shoulders with his habitual abrupt
gesture and threw his cigar into the
fire.

MI the lees of life poignantly for

that his was nS real home coming. On
entering Chilcote's house he had ex-

that assniled him now. There he had
almost seemed the exile returning aft
er many hardships; here. in the atmos-
phere made common by years, he felt
an alien. It was illustrative of the
mans character that sentimentalities
found no place In his nature. Scntl-
ments were pot lacking. though they
lay out Of sight, but sentimentalitics
he altogether denied.
Left alone in the sitting room after
Chilcote's departure. his first sensation
was one of physical discomfort and
unfamlllarity. His own clothes, with
their worn looseness, brought no sense
of friendlncss such as some men find
in an old garpent Lounging and the
clothes that suggested lounging had no
appeal for him. In his eyes the garb
that implies responsibility was sym
bolic and even inspiring.
And as with clothes so with his
actual surroundings. Each detail Of

She thanked him and sat down.
