author, George NJ. Cohan.

There are three acts, and the
scenes are laid in New Rochelle. The
first shows the exterior of the Castle

tion in this little New York town.
The book of this musical play is so
logically written, with so logical
conclusion. that it does not depend on
scenery for it's existence, but improv-
es in value with age as does anything
of literary merit. The slang OF KID

point that the most hopelessly erudite
can grasp it. And there is no tedi-

SENDS FOR A HAND HE

WILKESBARRE, April II. w.
Sullivan. now serving a five year
term in the penitentiary for bur-
glary, is eager to get back his right
hand. 1t was blown off when he
was dynamiting a safe at Ashley,
near here, three years ago. At
that time John w. Penney secured
it and preserved it in alcohol.
When Sullivan started for the
pen" Fenner offered it to him,
but he refused it. Troubled with
rheumatism, and, superstitiously
believing that it can be cured by
the touch of the missing hand, he
has sent word here that he wants
the hand Fenner is now trying
to find it for him.

al Ney, who was Is and almost
toothless, lay upon the gravel path
by the green painted seat near the
creaky, swinging gate. 1t was q
spot that dignified bulldog might
pick after a lifetime of shifting
about the countryside, and the
Marshal lounged there by the hour
swapping at the plague of flies and
dreaming of clinch and grapple.
From the parlor within, piano
rippled and Miss Vivian's soft,
clear soprano voice filled the air
of the garden with a ragtime mel
ody. The ballad had come in with
Miss Vivian's latest conquest, Mr..
Ellwood, the attorney-and the
Marshal had at times come near
biting the attorney ON the ankle.
1t was young Hugh Denham who at
that particular moment was a
thousand miles away. who held the
Marshafs fancy; and a minute
later, when Miss Vivian changed to
a tuneful ditty of bridges in the
moonlight, the Marshal pinned for
a tail tot wag his satisfaction.
The old. whitewashed gate
creaked and the Marshal knew
without looking that desiring man
entered the garden of beauty. The
girl tripped out and murmured a
little welcome, and then they two
sat upon the green painted bench.
The Honorable Mr.. Ellwood be-
gan to talk in his easy, fascinating
way about the azure sky above
and the blue in the girls eyes that
was deeper.
"Oh. Mr.. Ellwood-don't talk
that way" murmured Miss vi
Wan; and the Marshal growled
ominously.
But the girl, feeling the compell-
ing lure of the man, flushed SO be-
comingly that Ellwood began once
more to plead. The air was balmy:
the honeysuckles threw off a lull-
ing sweetness and Hugh Denham
was many miles away.
"Oh, don't know" cried the
girl. There is Hugh half prom

"A fig for Hugh" snapped the
