CHAPTER XXI.
The Red Streak.


Barbara was not a girl to allow
precious moments to be lost; instead
of giving way to emotion and excla-
nations, she knelt and tore off her
fathers waistcoat ripped his shirt,
and found a cash under the rib; tear
ing off her kerchief she ran, sopped it
in cold water, and held it tightly to
the wound.
Run, Eve. run, summon help.' she
cried. But Eve was powerless to be

sobbed Eve, shivering.
Call one of the maids. Bid her
ring, ordered the elder.
Eve, holding the sides of the door
to prevent herself from falling, deadly
white, with knees that yielded under
her, staggered into the house.
Presently the old bell hung in a
penthouse over the roof of the
| chapel began to give tongue
Barbara, kneeling behind her
| father, raised his head on her bosom,
and held her kerchief to his side. The
! first token of returning consciousness
was given by his hands, which
clutched at some grass he had cut
Then he opened his eyes.
Why is the bell tolling?'
Dear papa. it is calling for help.

An Autumn Scene.

The sky was gray with the sullen
grayness of fall. The river flowed
sluggish and lifeless between its
banks The leaves were turning into
glorious glossy reds and yellows- The
wind whirled them about the lawn
surrounding the big summer hotel. Up
and down the walks Uttered with dead
leaves a woman walked. Her eyes
were somber as the scene, but in their
depths was a sort of wild regret. Her
delicate lips were pressed tightly to-
gether as one who found memories too
bitter for her. She was wrapped about
in a gray cloak, and there was sort
of fierce resignation in her attitude.
She seemed like woman living over
again a beautiful past in miserable
present. past of green leaves and
roses and blue skies, white, cleaning
sails, leaping waters and glad compan-
ionship in the gray dull present. At
last her lips parted:
"Oh. good heaven.' she murmured
Why doesn't papa send me money
enough to pay my board and let me
get away from this miserable place."

A New Shade.

The new color, MANTLE, much seen
in Paris in model hats and gowns, is
a very dark brownish taupe and was
seen the past summer on several hats
designed by certain Partisan millin-
ers.
1t is an especially becoming shade
to almost every woman, especially
to those past the bloom of youth, and,
lightened by brighter t;nts, it will do
quite as well for the still youthful
woman.
There are some astonishing color
combinations of evening frocks be-
ing shown An example is of royal
blue over green, and that of a vivid
shade, the blue being tulle and the
satin green. Pale but clear green trim
med with a clear, bright mauve is al
so offered.

The game was tied in the ninth in

Charles Stauduhar Has Collar Bone
Fractured in Football Scrimmaee.
While playing football Saturday with
the high school squad Charles Staudu-
har received a fractured collar bone
1t was during one of the plays on
scrimmage that he was thrown on his
shoulder and shaken up. The extent
of the injury was not known until af-
ternoon, when a physician was called.
The break is not serious and will be
all right in few weeks.
Saturday was the first scrimmage of
the year, so two 10-minute halves were
played. During this time the first
team scored two touch-downs while the
scrubs were unable to score Several
of the younger players showed up well
for the first year out and should stand
a good chance of making the team.
There will be practice every night
this week at the ball park in prepara-
ton for the first game Saturday with
the alumni. The entire schedule for
the year has not yet been announced.

THE DEVIL COMING
Henry w. Savage Production
Dated at the illinois for
First of Month
IN SENSATION OF THE EAST
Is Play of the Ibsen and George
Bernard Shaw Type and Is Being
Widely Discussed.

The announcement that Henry w.
Savage is to offer the sensational
comedy success, THE Devil in Rock
Island at the Illinois theater, Thurs
day, Oct. ], is of greatest interest.
The attention this play has attracted
in the large eastern cities is without
precedent, and the press and public,
and even the pulpit have waxed warm
in discussing every phase of the
thought which has been wrought out
in the dramatic work of the Hungarian
playwright. 1.-The Devil which was
first produced in Buda Pest in the
spring of 1907, was written by Franz
Molnar, Hungarian journalist. The
unusual nature of the theme and the
daring treatment soon became the
subject of the hour in the European
capitals. The play was shortly after
transplanted to Vienna, while at the
Volks theater it met success.
Fight Over American Rights.
Henry w. Savage, through his Euro
pean agents, secured the exclusive
American rights and engaged the serv-
| ices of Herr Julias Herzka, the friends
| and collaboration of the author in the
| general translation, to come to the
| United States and superintend the
production here How Mr. Savage
was harassed by piratical managers

copyright treaty between the United
States and Hungary, rushed out E
