remark to his son, only to surprise that
young man glancing surreptitiously at
the face of the more beautiful of the
two girls. Even in this early stage
James Bansemer began to gloat over
the beauty of this new found old ac-
quaintance.
In the lobby of the theater as they
were leaving he deliberately DOTTED his
hat ard extended pleasant hand to
the wife of David Gable. She turned
deathly pale, and there was Il startled.
piteoUS look in her eyes that convinced
him beyond all shadow of a doubt.
There WAS nothing for her to do but
introduce him to her husband. Two
minutes later Graydon Bansemer and
Jane Cable. strangers until then, were
asking each other how they liked the
play, and Fate was at work.
A few weeks after this scene at the
theater young Mr.. BanseEer dashed
across the hall from the elevator and
entered his fathers Office just as Elias
broom was closing Up.

he asked. deliberately brushing past

Drooms overcoat was on and button

encased in rubbers of enormous size
and uncertain age. There must have
been no blood in the veins of this grim

dry for Chicago.

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 i'll got
ten gains came with him, and invest
ments were just as easy and just as
safe in Chicago as in New York. Now
he saw chance to wiring handsome
sum from the rich woman whose only
possession had been love when he first
knew her. L. the secret of James
origin still remained locked up in her
heart the e.-ort would be an easy one.
He learned enough of David Gable,
however, to know that If he shared the
secret the plan would be profitless and
dangerous.
1t was this uncertainty that kept him
from calling at the Gable home like
wise from writing note which might
prove a most disastrous folly. Time
and circumstance could be his only
friends. and he was accustomed to the
whms of both. He read of the dinners
and entertainments given by the Ca
bles and smiled grimly. Time had
worked wonders for them. Scandal,
he knew, could undo all that ambition
and pride had wrought. He could well
afford to wait.
However he did not have long to
wait, for his opportunity came one
night in Hooley's theater. G"aydon
and he occupied seats in the orchestra
near the stage and not far from the
lower right hand boxes. 1t was during
the busy Christmas holidays, but the

pack the house The audience was no
end of fashionable one. Time and
again some strange influence drew his
gaze to the gay party in one of the
lower boxes. The face of the woman
nearest to him was not visible. but the
two girls who sat forward turned oc-
casioaally to look over the audience,
and he saw that they were pretty, one

gray haired and strong featured; the
others We're quite too insignificant to
be of interest to him. The woman
whose back he could see did not look
out over the audience. Her indiffer-

At last he felt that her eyes were
upon him. He turned quickly. True

tense restraint. Mrs. Gable was staring
helplessly into the eyes of the man
who could destroy her with word.
The one thing that flashed through
Bansemer's brain was the realization
that she was far more beautiful than
he had expected her to be. There was
truly aristocratic loneliness in the
rather piquant face. and she undenia-
bly, possessed manner" Maturity had
improved her vastly, he confessed,
with strange exultation: age had been

Hi Henry's Ministries.

Hi Henry's big minstrels, the organi-
Zation that is booked to appear at the
Keylor Grand Friday, Dec. IS, carries
a coterie of finished and high class
artists to entertain the public. On the
list of brilliant fun-makers appear
such star comedians as Bob McLaugh-

George Foster, all top notchers in min

salaried song birds are names of ar
lists of exceptional ability who will in

AMERICAN IDEA OF EQUALITY.

The love affair of an American SEN
ator's daughter and the son and cou-
sin of a European king as serious in
terest only on its political side. The
final and definite result of it is per-
haps the strongest assertion ever made
publicly in the domain of sentiment of
the American ideal of equality.
The marriage between these suf1i
GENTLY ardent lovers is abandoned by
m ritual consent because the family of
the lady assert without qualification
the principle that the daughter Of an
American citizen is the equal OF the
son Of q former king for a day and the
cousin of an actual king for the pres
ont. The permanent principle of hui
man equality is set above accidents
of royal birth and station.
1t would be easy to split hairs about
the difference between political and
social equality. We have enough of
that in debates ever the status Of the
negroes in the south. A social inc
quality may be recognized where po-
litical discrimination would be intol-
cradle. But these differences merge
in this particular case into a somewhat
az finite legal status, insisted upon by
the European and rejected by the
American parties to the contract which
has been given up.
Neither Miss Tlkins nor her family
were willing that she should enter the
Savoy family a. the wife of Prince
Luigi in any Other social, political OF
legal status than that of the wife 81

brother The family of the prince
dominated chiefly by his grandmother
insisted that she must accept in tina
event a status different politically ant
legally as well as socially, though con
sidered perfectly onorable in Europ'
until political necessities require it t
be superseded by another alliance TO
the protection of future monarchs.
We should suppose that any Ameri
can girl or any American famil,
would take exactly the same position
as this one.
