and reason, he would blow it open. Where
upon Tracy closed his mouth and went peace
fully to sleep.
On another occasion, when the Horsehair
first appeared and was beating the sea with an
anxious eye of light, Tracy heard to utter
a partially finished and completely damning
phrase:
Z" Jim" he had remarked, while gazing re-
f1eCtively through portfolio, :" if your friend
Girard happens to be working that bulls-eye
on board, and happens to fall to the song and
dance of that scrapper, George c. Brown-well
wouldn't give bag of beans"
At this Juncture he had been interrupted
by an earnest suggestion from OrmOnd; but
just fraction too late, for the ldpsns hngnG
is now on record in black and white.
\ bag of beansl Dried beans were found in
the morocco cigar case in place OF pearls and
other precious stones. This was not circum-
stantial evidence; it was fact,-bald, pitiless
fact,-and the two men, even without preju-
dice. are not entitled to acquittal by the process
of elimination. They are in too deeply, and
must extricate themselves by some entirely
different process.
THIS, then, is the substance of all deduc.
tions to be worked upon No, wait!
There are still two other chances 1t IS barely
possible that George c. Brown and Ormond
and Tracy belonged to the same gang, and
were playing a pretty little three cornered
game Brown himself might have sent the
spurious kilograms, then followed them with
his handsome curly headed person by means
of the staggering tug. The three would seem
to play against one another in order to scatter
suspicion, to speak, escape from the Splthre
singly or collectively, meet in New York, and
divide their plumber into three equal parts.
Yes, this is factor not to be dismissed without
a second thought
Finally, there is Marcus Girard. The sly old
rascal might easily be deceiving his daughter
for a second time with regard to his Smuggle-
some traits. On the other hand, he could have
distracted the gems himself on the night of
his arrival, and, by putting up a vigorous
bluff, might retain the valuables for his gem
collection. Tracy and Ormond had done the
work, and Marcus Girard in fair posi-
ton to gather profit unto himself by MIMI
mum of labor Nobody had searched him, by
Jovei and should he consent to be patted all
over in the manner suggested by Lima Jewett
there was certainly a fighting chance of dis
covering suspicious lump.
As sort of afterthought, Valda might be
conscious of her fathers finger IN the pie, and
was shielding his sin by her own shamed
silence, even at the Southerner's expense This
would account for many things: her refusal
to look her lover in the eye, her abasement OF
spirit, the total loss of her title spitfre.
However, take it as you may, nearly all the
foregoing evidence is circumstantial evidence;
and circumstantial evidence IS like very
ancient sort of gun that shoots from both ends
and is rather impartial as to direction and
liability.

during the examination of Morson-B Brown and
the other two rogues: her continued silence
when the safe was opened; and her stare of
amazement when she saw the morocco case
Again, there was her refusal to look the
Southerner in the eye, even with wOmanly
Scorn, and the new role not only seemed
peculiar, but, for spitfire, it positively
startling.
Perhaps Valda had seen him crack the safe
and now. because of her quiXotic passion, she
shielding him with silent tongue. This
was possible, but not probable; for he had
sought her eyes as if asking for her help, and
when that help was denied him, he had sighed
and held out his wrists submissvely. Without
a struggle he would give up liberty, he would
give up wealth, he would give up hope-and
her! Beyond doubt, the case of these two
extraordinary young people IS not one to be
laid aside until all the other suspicious persons
have been completely indicated by the
process of elimination.
AS for the nine tall, slender seamen who got
themselves implicated merely by being tall
and slender, it is JUST as we'll to say at once
silly business (And you ought to be very
much obliged; but don't mention it.)
ID ESERVED for the last-like large and

IS the case of Ormond and Tracy; vet once
more is rendered warning against the evils
of personal prejudice
These gentlemen were liars. They were
lurid liars, who never stuck to first story if
a second story happened more nearly to fit
their purpose. They had lied to Captain Joe.
They had lied to Va1da: and human prejudice
would rise up and declare they had lied for
the third and lucky time to Marcus Girard.
They had given the gems to Valda under pro-
test. They had relinquished them only when
he threatened to run into Liverpool and con-
fer with the police. They wanted those gems
no matter to whom they belonged; though
whether for themselves or Marcus Girard or
for other reasons, is an open question.
Ormond was tall and passably slender. He
might easily be the mysterious figure IN the
gloom As to his lack of knowledge as to the
combination of the safe, any active mind
would conclude at once that the bolts and
bars and combination lock on the baby bank
in question were viewed by such an artist in
the light of a gigglesome joke. He had delayed
taking the gems for fear of Va1da's discovering
the loss before the two men were ready to
leave the Spitfre in small boat; but, urged
by Tracy, he had contrived the simple deed
on the previous night Girard's sudden
arrival had muddled their plans somewhat,
causing Ormond to declare himself an officer
of the law. AS for his police badge, it was
merely part of crooks paraphernalia. and
certainly it had been used with marked adj
vantage. -
Tracy's collision goes without saying. He
dreamed about that safe, and spoke OF 1T
whenever permitted to open his mouth He
had once asked his partner what method
should be employed should necessity arise for
opening friends safe in the said friend S
absence; and Ormond had answered archly,

A PLAY IN A THOUSAND
QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER

The figures of the attendance and
receipts for the four seasons that
Quincy Adams Sawyer" has been
upon the stage proves that nearly
three million people have witnessed
this great drama of New England
rural life in that time.
In view of this fact and because
of the constantly growing prosperity
of this attraction, it can be said with
truth that this is ''play in a thou
sand" For there have been so few
similar instances in the history of
the American stage that they can
be recalled readily by all theatrical
men of experience
Quincy Adams Sawyer" IS unique.
Its telling qualities are found in its
entire freedom from stage conven-
tions. There is no erring girl, no
mortgage on the farm, no mourning
or wailing and no villain. Yet
strength is by no means sacrificed by
this abandonment of familiar stage
expedients, for there are substituted
characters there are real motives
that natural and a development of
interest that holds because it ap-
peals by it's strong humanity.
When the famous rural drama is
presented at the Park opera house
on Saturday, March 21, it will be
found to be presented by an admir-
able company, every member of the
cast having been selected with special
regard for his or her fitness for the
role played. The scenic environments
of the drama is in perfect accord
with its spirit and the entire enter
tainment is natural and enjoyable

The merit of these stories as inter-

Last night large audience saw
what. was decidedly one of the jol-
liest. prettiest and most refreshing
mixtures of comic opera and musical
comedy seen here in several seasons.
Charles II. Yale's Painting the
Town" was presented at the Park
opera house in a most admirable
manner. The two leading comed-
ians are fine. The chorus was pref
ty, graceful and could sing in most
pleasing manner. The comedy was
clean cut and new. The musical
numbers were fresh and each one
made hit. The mechanical effects
and novelties were remarkable. In
fact. it was rattling good show

mensely. Painting the Town bids
fair to equal in popularity Charles

Sensational reports and intima-
tions to the effect that the assailant
of Mr.. Stewart was a union man,
sent out from some quarters in this
city, are without foundation and are
serious and undesirable reflections
upon the union men of Grand juno
ton. The Sentinel does not believe
that any union man attacked Mr..
Stewart, or that any of the unions
had any knowledge of the attack
The men who are striking in Grand
Junction are peaceable and will not
for moment countenance any dis
turbance.
1t seems that Stewart was walking
along South Second street. when a
strange man asked him for five cents
Stewart refused to give him the
money. The man struck Stewart
Stewart returned the blow, and then
several blows were exchanged. FL
nally assistance reached Stewart and
the man was arrested and taken to
the city Jail; but. while he was
standing in the Office of the Jail
awaiting to be searched, there was
some excitement over a fierce dog
fight which occurred in the room
and the arrested man made his es-
cape during the excitement.
oteWart WAS only very SllSntly IN

Piatt came to the assistance of Mr..
