Joseph Arthur's stirring military drama
Of India. THE Cherry Pickers." is the
play produced by the Kathryn PurneII
Stock Company at the Majestic this week.
The play was presented in a manner that
elected much applause.
The plot of the play abounds in stirring
scenes and adventures. and there Is not
dull moment from the time the curtain
rises until the final drop. The play tells
the absorbing tale of the tyranny of a
British officer, the commander Of one OF
the regiments of the English army in
India, toward an inferior officer under his
command. and the subsequent triumph of
the inferior officer over his superior by
honorable means.
Miss Purnell, as Nou.mallee, the daugh-
ter of a wealthy merchant. and the affi-
anced wife Of John Nazare, a British off,
Ger, as usual, scored a success. While
the part does not call for any amount Of
extraordinary histrionic ability. she made
the part stand out prominently. Frank
lyn Munnell. as John Nazare, had a role
that is peculiarly suited for his ability
Mr.. Jack F. Goodwin. as Ayoob, an Al
CHAN spy, and Mr.. II. c. Beverly, as
Brown the coloners valet, were the fea-
lures Of the performance; the former
by his dramatic scene in the gun room of
the fortress at Candahar, and the latter
by his excellent comedy work throughout
the play. W. JEFF Murphy as Lieut.
York, and Ed. Redding as Corporal Jones.
made two dashing army officers. Miss
Florence Hamilton. as Mrs. O'Donnell-Du-
leep, and Miss Rosalind Allen, as her
daughter, did very well with the parts
intrusted to their care. The remainder
Of the cast gave very creditable support.
The piece Is handsomely staged, and II

The modern American woman, with her
practical ideas on early rising and out
door life, finds many uses for a plain
shirt waist, though even for the least con-
ventional occasion it must be Of the trim
NEST possible cut and making. One Of
the latest and smartest models IS here
illustrated, a distinctive feature being its
mannish shaping, the stylish effect Of
which is heightened by the full-length
shirt sleeve and jaunty breast. pocket
The fastening in front is effected invisi-
bly, beneath the center box plat, and the
ensemble is completed with the inevitable
collar and tie. The standing collar and
Ascot tie shown IN the sinai sketch are
provided for IN the pattern. The waist is

TEsTIFIEs IN RATE LAW CASE
Analyses Receipts and Expenses OF
Passengers TrafIic in North Care
Traffic Over Through Traffic and
Tells How Accounts Are Kept.

Testimony in the North Carolina rate
case was continued yesterday before Spe-
cial Master w. A. Montgomery, at the
Southern Railway Offices.
A. II. Plant Comptroller Of the South
ern Railway Company, in response to ques-
tons by Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel
Of the company. testified in great detail
as to the method Of keeping the accounts
OF the company. He explained how the
expenses Of the passenger traffic were
separated from those of the freight traf-
fic, and how the cost OF doing business in
North Carolina and the earnings from
trafiic IN that State were arrived at.
The higher cost OF local traffic over
through traffic was explained. and Mr..
Plant testified that the greater part Of the
intrastate business IN North Carolina
was local traffic. Much Of the freight
transported In the State had to be trans
ferred at Junction points, a single ship
ment often being transferred twice or
Oftener.
Mr.. Plant analysed the receipts from
passenger traffic and the expense Of that
traffic in the State. He testified that the
total passenger train earnings in North
Carolina ia the year ended June 80. 1906
amounted 10 Sl,971.03S, and the total cost
o. the passenger service in the State for
the same period amounted 10 s2.426. H5,
showing that this business was not profit
able at the old rates

Hit Him With the Text.

''On visit to Scotland 1 went to the
old United Presbyterian kirk at Sa-
voch," said a clergyman, land 1 heard
good story about former minister.
His name was the Rev. David Cav,
and he was very diminutive, standing
only about five feet two inches. He
led to the altar strapping, handsome
lass some five or six inches taller than
he, and her name was Grace Wilson.
THE Sunday after the wedding he
got neighboring minister to preach
for him, so that he could sit with his
bride on the first Sunday. The minis
ter was good deal of wag, so Mr..
Cav made him promise faithfully that
he would not allude in his sermon to
himself, his bride or the fact of the
marriage. So he promised that in his
sermon he would make no allusion of
that kind whatever, but Mr.. Cav near

text was given out-Ephesians iii, s.,

occur to her that any social intercourse
could exist between an aristocrat of
Elmwood avenue and a dweller in this
small studio at the top of three flights
of dingy stairs. Her very youth took
off the sting of this insolence of
wealth, she was so entirely uncon-
scious of it.
Perhaps this impalpable barrier of
reserve might have been brushed aside
to some extent had Wyndham been
less sensitive to it. He met her unre-
spOnsiveness with like reserve, her I'M
communicativeness with silence.
But as he painted in the lines of her
graceful figure and the bloom of her
face grew under his hand upon the
canvas he was acutely conscious of
every lovely contour and tint, madly
rebellious that this girl, with her wide,
intellectual brow and soft, sympathetic
eyes, never vouchsafed him single
way with an even momentary sym
pathy.
"Your hair battles mer' he declared
one day, laying down his brush.
Something in his tone startled her.
Are artists always so intense?" she
asked herself
She raised her hand to the ripples of
her pale brown hair, where golden
lights shifted and changed with a
warm glow as alluring as it was i'm
possible to express. Her violet eyes
widened.
"Shall 1 change my position?' she
asked
He rushed into an explanation of the
difficulty of painting light in hair She
looked interested, but made no COM
ment.
Wyndham saw what her observant
eyes noted every makeshift in the
studio. 1t hurt him to feel that she
comprehended every particle of the
poverty of his life. This hurt the more
when, toward the last, he thought that
he surprised look of pity in her eyes.
He hardly expected her to tell him
at parting that she meant to send all
her friends to him to be painted be-
cause he did it so beautifully. But
she did. and she kept her word. Wynd-
hams friends said that luck had come
to him in golden spoon.
To Wyndham, sitting alone in his
studio porting over q delicate sketch of
a beautiful girl with eyes of tenderest
sympathy and golden lights in her
curling hair, luck seemed to have de-
parted. All that was left to those
weeks of poignant emotion was this

They We're jubilant in this declara-
ton when Miss Ruth Greville sat to
him for portrait. She was the first
butterfly who had drifted from the
gilded realms of society into the OBJ
scure studio in Herkimer street With
her came a breath of luxury from a
world which had long become stran-
ger to Wyndham.
Her parents arranged with the artist
for her sittings. Now and then all
three turned and looked at her, settling
between them the pose in which she
was to be painted. The girl herself
said little. She appeared sweetly anx-
ious to have the portrait painted ex-
actly as her parents pleased. OF per-
sonal vanity she seemed to have none.
Wyndham stirred with keen pleasure
as he noticed her appreciative scrutiny
of his pictures. She evidently under
stood something of art. Wyndham
saw behind the roses and lilies of her
face in its frame of curling hair a
mind to be explored. He was eager
to begin the portrait.
When he did his hand was. unsteady.
To the excitement of a first profitable
order of the kind he had longed for
was added the excitement of painting
face whose kindling beauty baffled
while it enchanted him.
Some Uniformed idea of delightful
chats about art had fingered in his
mind, to be brushed aside like a cob
web at her first sitting. She was cold,
with calm serenity which held him
aloof as effectually as some impossible
barrier. Nothing of haughtiness tinged
her manner. 1t seemed merely not to
