While New York managers may be burning the midnight oil in the at- tempt to supply the theatrical world with new plays and players. the uncer- tainty of the coming national election keeps their efforts solely for New York. There seems to be a sort of general panic among the big managers relative to booking attractions on the road before November 3. and because of this feeling. attractions booked for the Southern circuit have been cans celled right and left.
 Montgomery is to suffer along with every city south of Washington. Big have been cancelled at the local play house. and for that matter at all southern theatres It Is stated that they will perhaps be placed again upon the book, but no definite steps in this direction will be taken until after the election.
 For the coming week there Is but one attraction. hut this Is one of the Broadway hits of last season.

owner of the book was looking for her
property. On she came, running slow

side of the pathway. AS she came op-
posite me she stopped and snatched up
the book. and when she had run back
again the conviction that the Honor
able Agatha was no other than Agatha
Fourth was forced in upon me.
So reused was by this event that l
turned my steps homeward at once.
Suspicion had now fallen on every one
of the six Agathas, but this-this was
the most convincing Of proofs! That
night l could hardly wait for the end
of the evening so that I could drag
Vincent into my room and disclose to
him my final and greatest discovery l
was so full of excitement over it, be-
sides feeling a certain pride in my wit
and sagacity which had led to the dis
covery of so many important clews,
that l was rather disappointed when

Vincent received my disclosure with
indifference.
AT it again, Arch" ne said, rather
gloomily. as he sat cross-legged before
my fire in extreme deshabille, and
smoking his vile pipe. What is the
use? l should think you'd get tired
of pursuing the elusive gold. l admire
your patience, by boy, but l don't take
any more stock in this 'clew' than l
did in your others. When you think
that you have now fastened suspicion
upon each one of the six fair ladies
who have been chriStened Agatha |
marvel at the Sanguine temperament
which permits you to place so much
importance on this last find of yours" :"
He stopped, and l answered him rather
Sarcastically. as l didn't like the gen.
tie ridicule of his tone or his lack of
enthusiasm.
1T seems to me-" l said, that con-
sidering how you've spent your time,

really felt hurt and Vincent saw that

He took his pipe out Of his mouth
and looked at me with those big, truth
full eyes of his so penitently that
smiled inwardly: then he gathered up
his long limbs from my hearthrug and
came and ensconced himself at my
feet as sat in my easy chair.
We'll there. then" he said, patting
my hand as if I'd been an old woman
or a small child. Poor old Archibald,

that | was obliged after a short strug-
gle to laugh uncOnStrainedly.

fell upon US. | was pondering over the
problem and did not look at Vincent
for a long while, but when l did /

hopeless look. and that his whole at

"whats the trouble" | had been no.
ticing of late that he had been subject
to fits of melancholy altogether out OF
keeping with his character, and l had
come to the conclusion that he had
some trouble on his mind. l wanted
to know what it was, so that | could

head slowly and looked at me a
moment solemnly, then smiled family

welfare of this boy was to me. Some
how, Vincent represents to me the
things l might have been, and am not
the things l might have won, and have
lost: he represents the first flush of my
own youth. And now that had vast
ed those opportunities to lead the sell
fish existence of the average bach
elor, | found a certain joy in again ex-
periencing those first throbs Of living
that had been mine, in the person and
life of young Vincent.
As he stood before me, glowing with
feeling, l felt that it was for me to
wipe that look from his face cruel as
it seemed, and my anger at the woman
who had so deceived the boy by
Withholding from him the knowledge
that she was married helped me to do
the deed.
Vincent" | said, slowly, do you
mean-do l gather from your rawlings
that you NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for this
person." l had risen to my feet, and
as l spoke Vincent's whole expression
changed in a flash.
Your Inference is perfectly correct, "
he said. His face went white and there
was war in his tone, for he perceived
that | meant trouble.
The necessity of saving the boy /
loved from the consequences of his
own folly took possession of me, and
was full of rage at Vincent and at
that conscienceless woman in the gray
gown who had entrapped him.
You fool" l said, putting my face
close to his square, cleft chin, "why do
you throw away your chance in life
like that? What do you want to let
yourself get entangled with an adven-
turess for? Don't you know the wom-
ans married? She confessed to hav-
ing one husband; she may have a doz-
en-. for all l know"
The inevitable happened, for Vincent
with a half-articulate cry like a wild
animal raised his clenched fist and
struck at me- Fortunately for us both
he struck wildly in his anger and
caught the blow on my arm.
You liar" he shouted. "Oh, you
iar." and in a rage that shook him
from head to foot he rushed from the
room and slammed the door.

after him to think that matters had

friend, without resenting it, still, when
the first flash of my wrath had passed

the heat of his passion would permit

course, if he really cared for the wo-
man, the words l had used were about
the most insulting possible. However

"Oh. Arch" he burst out. "every-
