the Auditorium for two weeks run.
London has not enjoyed such a boom
in the theatre business for years as
they are experiencing now. All the
new pieces produced recently are do
ing such business that the sign
House FULL" is displayed nearly ev-
cry evening.
One of the sights of the present
theatrical season is the crowd in the
vestibule of His Majesty's theatre,
waiting patiently to book seats for
months ahead. The success of Faust
is phenomenal. Before the box Office
opens at 10 a. m. there is a queue
waiting outside. On Monday several
thousand pounds were taken by the
box Office staff alone. This, of course,
does not include the huge amounts
paid by the various theatre ticket
agencies who have brought up a large
proportion of seats for some time
ahead.
The same tale is being told at the
Duke of York's, where Mr.. Barrie's
new play is attracting great crowds.
There no less than 5000 pounds worth
its production.
There does not appear to be single
theatre In London which has not

To name only some of them, there
are: Lady Frederick, Jack Straw,
The Molluse, Mrs. Dot, What Every
Woman Knows, The Passing of the

Merry Widow, Havana, The King of
Cadonia. Butterflies, Idols, and the

The patrons of the Empire will have
no difficulty In recalling to mind John
.Mylie and Mary Orth, who presented
burlesque on Uncle Toms CABIN
the week of August 31st, and their
confrere, Harry Walton, the Chinese
impersonator, who was on the same
bill. Mr.. Luger, who has been nego-
tiating with them for some time, has
just secured them for the week of Oc-
tober 5. The clever comedy of both
MIR. Orth and Mr.. Walton is still
fresh in the minds of the theatregoers
of this city, and Miss Ortiz whose
beautiful soprano voice was the source
of great pleasure to the music lovers
here, will give them able support. Five
chorus girls with a reputation for
good singing and good dancing have
already arrived direct from Chicago,
and these with character woman CT
ability, will constitute the personnel
Of the company. They will present
Ching Pang Foo" a musical satire
for the first half, and 1.-The New Ruler"
the latter part of the week. In Ching

Messrs. Mylie and Walton is very en-

forms one of the distinctive features
of the opera. The character of Cen
eral Bomb" is probably the strongest
ever written and many actors have
first gained renown through perfor-
mances in this part. This opera is
of the French school and has lasting
popularity with the public that is en-
,joyed by no other lighter operate

giving these old and tried favorites,
with all the embellishments OF correct
and effective costuming, scenic equip
ment and cast and chorus of trained
and experienced singers. Several
startling inovaticns have been
promised by the introduction of pretty
dances in novel costumes, the inter-
polation of musical hits from the lat

on baseball, which is sure to arouse
the risibilities of the most pessimistic

The National Opera company is to
come to the Metropolitan theatre on
October -. They are producing good
standard operas at popular prices
and although it is quite a trial ven
ture it is to be hoped that they will
meet with success. The early part of
the season has been good, but the
northwest is new territory for them
and the management naturally feels
nervous.
Among the members Of the company
that are we'll known to Grand Forks
patrons are Charles Vaughn, who was
here with the Wilbur Opera company,
Mr.. Charles Huntington and Miss
Mathew. Among their numerous op-'
eras is Offenbach's "The Grand Ouch

Tuesday evening.

was no wonder that broom grinned,
and 1t Is no wonder that he forgot to
cover his mouth with his huge hand,
as was his custom.
The proposition, while sincere and
earnest. was too impossible for words.
For once In his life James Bansemer
was at loss for subterfuge. He
stammered, flushed and writhed In the
effort to show the young man that the
step would be Improbable, and he was
sorely conscious that he had not con-
vinced the eager applicant He even
urged him to abandon the thought of
becoming lawyer and was ably Sec
onded by Elias broom, whose opinion
OF the law as he had come to know it,
was far from fattering
Just at this time Bansemer was en-
gagged in the most daring as we'll as

career With luck it was bound to en-
rich him to the extent of $4,000. 1'hs

failure. To take his fair minded son.
with the mothers eyes, into the game
would be suicidal. The young fellow
would turn from him forever Banse-
mer never went so far as to wonder
whence came the honest blood in the
boys veins nor to speculate on the ri
gin Of the unquestoned integrity. He
had but to recall the woman who bore
him, the woman whose love was the
only good thing he ever knew, the
wife he had worshiped while he sinned.
For years and years he had piled his
unwholcsOme trade in regulations,
sometimes evading exposure by the
narrOwest of margins, and he had
come to believe that he was secure for
all time to come But it was the big
job that brought disaster. Just when
it looked rs though success was assur-
ed the crash came. He barely had
time to cover his tracks, throw the fig

and resourceful enough to avoid the
penalty that looked inevitable and
came OF with colors trailing, but un-
captured.
Perhaps no other man could have es-
capped. But James Bansemer was clev-
crest when in a corner. He backed
away, held them at bay until he could
recover his breath and then defed them
to their teeth. Despite their proof he
baffled them, and virtue was not its
own reward-at least in this instance.
In leaving New York he hoped that

might refuse to go into the new terri
tory with him. but the gaunt old clerk
took an unnatural and malevolent de-
light in clinging to his employer. He
declined to give up his place in the Of
fee, and although he hated James Ban
semer. he came like an accusing
shadow into the new Offices near the
Chicago river. and there he toiled,
grinned and scowled with the same old
faithfulness.

the lady certainly did not correspond
to what his memory recalled. Investi-
cation. however. assured him that the
Gables in the mansion near the lake
were the people he had known in New
York. Bansemer took no one into his
confidence, not even broom. Once con-
WINGED that the erstwhile fireman was
now the rich and powerful magnate, he
set to work upon the machinery which
was to extract personal gain from the
secret in his possession. He soon
learned that the child was young wo-
man Of considerable standing in socie-
ty, but there was no way for him to
ascertain whether Frances Gable had
told the truth to her husband in those
dreary far west days.
Bansemer was rich enough, but
avarice had become habit. The flight
from New York had deprived him Of
but little in worldly goods. His III got
ments were just as easy and just as
safe in Chicago as in New York. Now
he saw a chance to wiring a handsome
sum from the rich woman whose only
possession had been love when he first
knew her. II the secret Of James
origin still remained locked up in Aei
