But it's bearers. though heroes. were
human, and at last the standard
fell;
And as back DER the Rappahannook
the baffled army wore,
The hearts Of the Irish remnant that
night were heavy and sore.
They mourned for their fallen COM
rades, for the battle their foes
:, had won.
And they grieved for a green silk flag
- where shamrocks twined round
4 bursting sun.
In turbulent flood the river coursed,
while athwart its. impassive
breast
The piercing December night wind
+, swept: the quick and dead were
at rest.
"A Union sentry paced through the
gloom, but the warning hosts
were spent,
And the hours crept by till the deep'n-
ing dark gave presage of dawn's
advent.
Sudden the crack Of a rife broke from
the rivers southern side;

The sentinel peered through the river
mist and hided, the friends to
Who had Jagged blind when the army

The rays Of the morning. kissed a
shadow that doomed on the tur-
bid flood;
Nearer it drew to the beckoning sands,
and the conquering swimmer
stood
Erect at last on the solid earth. and
the sheen Of the breaking day
Jewelled the drops that splashed to his
feet from a uniform Of grey.
Tho sentry advanced with a puzzled
mien. but the stranger raised mis-
f.. hand;
Take me-" he said-'twas an Irish
voice-"to the officer in COM
mand."
And never another word he spoke as
...... their steps to the camp they
bent,
Till he stood in the glare of a smoky
lamp within the Generals tent.
'1 have something here, for yoi., sir!"
he said, and he thrust his hand
in his breast. -.
The face Of the orderly paled, but his
chief safe rigid with lips COM
pressed.
Was it murderous scoundrel t-ick,
to be won by cut -throats

They were two to one, and the guard
was near. but Death stalks close
to Life.
There was triumph and pride in the
strangers eyes-triumph and
love and pride, ''i:-

He unwound it with trembling but
careful hands, for it's silk was
rent and smoked:
The strings of Its harp had been
snapped by shot, its shamrocks

And unfurled at last. as he held it
aloft. the eyes of the three men
met;
They were soldiers all, but their hearts
were full. and the eyes Of the
three We're wet:

he said; "and my Irish blood rar,

 on the other beautiful woman, a easuist of brilliant intellectual powers, d siren with all the seductive blandish- ments that flourish in d soil where spiritual nature Is dead. To accomplisn her ends she plays on the tenderes' chords of his memory Chords that VI brate to the reeollections of a mother love and tears and gentle guardianship and chords, too, which, unknown to tht temptress breathe notes of purity anO convey celestial fire.
 It is claimed that no one who has seen John Lane Connors and Virginia heatlne enact the roles of Parsifay and hundrS in this scene can possibly forget It. Spiritual in face, with boyish timidity that is just pereeptble, MT. Connors pays heed at first to the charms of voice and manner and personal loveliness of Kun dry, represented by Miss Keating. Gradu- ally the boyish reserve disappears and instead there is observed an ever lh- ereasng manlines sthat shows itself in physical boise and tone, so alone does the spirituality of his face take on resoiute firmness, and this becomes adamant itself when the fateful purnli/ kiss is pressed on his lips. But there is more expressed In look and tone ana gesture than the triumph over temptation there is compassion and a holy yearning for the sufferings of those who are fallen as, for the first time, fioodtide of knowledge of the worlds woes rushes before his enlightened vision. Mis- keat- ings stimulation of kundry's dispair at this crisis thrills the audience by Its realism.
 These talented people were seen here last seen in Martin and Emery's presen- tation of "Parsifay." and they will ap- pear in the same roles Monaay night September 30, at the Jefferson theatre when Wagner's masterpiece will be per formed for the second time in this city A strong supporting company and d beau uful production are promised by Man agers Martin and Emery,

 Alban shrugged his shoulders but had nothing to say. They mad now come To the famous Achilles Statue In Hyde Park, and there they walked for half an hour amid the showily dressed women on the lawn. Willy Forrest was known to many of these and everywhere appeared sure of a familiar welcome. The very men who would tell you aside that he was a wrong 'un," nodded affably 10 him and sometimes stopped to ask him what was going to win the Oaks.

 Even q severe criticism may be dis armed of it's severity by happy answer that changes it's meaning, and 1t Is often no less fortunate to be able to turn a good natured one. Sir John Watson Cor don. who ultimately became president os the Royal Scottish Academy, used to tell ths story of Lord Palmerston:
 'I had exhibited for several years, but without any particular success. One year. however Lord Palmerston took sudden fancy to my picture called Sum- mer in the Lowlands and bought It at a high price. His lordshlp at the sarns time made inquiries after the artist, ani invited me to call upon him. I waited upon him accordingly He complimented me upon the picture, but said there was one thing about 1t he could not under- stand.
 What is that. my lord?' I asked
 That there should be such long grasa in a field where there are so many sheep said his lordship promptly. and with merry twinkle of his eye. It was de- cded hit, and. having bought the picture and paid for it, he was entitled to his joke. How do you account for it?" he went on, smiling and looking first at the picture and then at me
 Those sheep, my lord replied. were only turned in that field the night before I finished the picture
 His lordship laughed heartily, said Bravo. at my reply, and gave mo a commission for two more pictures: and I have cashed since then some worry notA- ble checks of his. dear old boyr

Then he goes through drill after being attached to an electric motor, the idea being to represent a mechanical figure. So skillfuly is this done that the audience is mystified. Then he is thrown back in the box to re-appear as Me- phisto, in which costume he performs some astonishing feats of contortion. He is often referred to as the serpent man. Yuma was for two seasons the sensation of the winter palace at Berlin and has appeared in all the large cities of Europe and America.
