WE DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT THE CONRAD COM
PANY, but it has as good a
reputation as any Monte CristO
Company on the road, and will
doubtless present the great
melodrama 60 the satisfaction
Of all theatre-goers. Conrad
guarantees the attraction and
he says he will give you
"YoUR MONEYS WORTH,
OR YOUR N BACK"
"Monte CristO" is one of the
greatest plays and like "East
Lynne" and "Uncle Toms
Cabin" will live forever, hav-
ing won a place in the affec-
tons Of the theatre going
public. The play possesses
the same drawing power that
greeted its initial production.
From a dramatic standpoint,
20 play excels it and the sit
uatiOns are sensational to a
degree.

girl Til now. when the possibility OF
his final and definite defeat ln the
battle for her favor doomed up so

Marcella and Foster received him
pleasantly. Gradually and inevitably
they drifted round Ia the topic dom
inant iu all their minds.
Every little thing sets me think

the night Of the burglary I've run
across new evidences OF their pres

gone theorizing"
II need no material reminders" said
Billy Foster meaningIy. and MarceTa
flushed. and thought: How ready
Bllrs wits are Poor Phil never
thinks Of particularly nice things 70

II have a more bitter reminder"
said HolbrooH; Its the thought Of
poor Acton Clough. His face haunts
me all the time
Marcella glanced at Foster

her voice was little cold. I've
grown 60 doubt your observation-disclosures
from the way YOU stick TO the theory
of Acton CloUgh's innocence. Aren t

ROlbrook could not tell whether she
had truly lost faith in him or whether
she was making fun Of him. He stared
at her sOrrOwfully, and looking be-

CHAPTER VIII.
THE TRIAL BEGINS

THF TRIAL BEGINS.
The time came when neither Billy
Foster nor Phil Holbrook had time Iefc
for detective work or Investigation.
From O'Clock in the morning until
s o'clock in the evening they sat with
a score of other new spaper writer's it,
the grim court room in the criminal
courts building, writing as fast a.
their hands could drive the pencils
across the COpy-paper.
Behind them sat boys who at nod
from the reporters took the sheets OF
manuscript and hurried upstairs to
the press room. whence the story OF
the trial was telephoned 10 the vari-
Gus newspapers.
Rarely had the public displayed such
an interest as it did IN the progress
or the trial Of Acton CIough, charged
with the murder OF his uncle. the old
railroad millionaire.
There existed in the minds Of a mi
nority of the public enough doubt as
10 his guilt TO keep at a fever pitch
curiosity as to the outcome. And.
as time went or, the prisoners bear
ing in the court. chronicled 10 the
world ia millions OF copies Of news
papers. created a highly favorable in
preston in many minds, though In
others his calmness and assurance Of

neither HolbroOk nor the private de-

Brewster or Ling Foo the murderer
became more and more remote.
