Berlin, Jan. 6. Cipriana Castro, ex-

said, that this operation is to be per-
formed so that the whole world may
know I did not come to Germany in

happen in my absence"
Castro was under the knife for four
hours while DR.. Israel performed the
difficult operation. A bulletin issued

operation was most successful and

To Billy Baxter every moment he
spent in the theater was to his liking,
but the best of all was when the band
filed in and the house lights went up.
Then the music and the rush of arriv-
ais made a delightful stir
These were busy moments for the
ushers, because in the ten minutes pre-
ceding the rise of the curtain half the
house had to be seated, and it was
hard for Billy to bear in mind the
managerial caution that the right hand
aisle was not cinder track laid for
his amusement
1t is hard to walk when the music
plays lively air, and there were times
when Billy would sprint up the aisle
as though bent upon breaking all rec
ords for the hundred yards.
These ten minutes twice day re-
paid the boy for the rest of the work,
and it was work for all who were en-
ployed about the Century theater.
Calkins, the manager, had spent his
days devising system that was al

count than his own. The Countess of
Warwick, who has been in turn bril-
liant society leader, philanthropist and
Socialist advocate, visited this country
not long since for the especial purpose,
it was said, of studying the condition
of the Socialist movement here. 1t was
reported ut one time that the earl had
leaning toward socialism, too, but
his utterances during his American
visit do not bear out such a view. In
deed, he intimated that his wife was
like good many women, somewhat
changeable in her ideas, and therefore
he did not like to define her position
on economic questions because 1t
might have shifted little by the time
of his return.
The earl and his accomplished wife
expect to entertain President Roose-
welt at Warwick castle during his stay
in England, and the earl has undertak-
en- the commission Of having pair Of
hunting boots built in London for Mr..
Roosevelt specially suitable for serv-
ice in the African jungles.

Frederick Kohler, chief Of police In

most perfect in its schedules. Every
body cleaned house in the morning,
with just time for hurried lunch be-
fore squeezing into the uniforms for
the matinee, and as soon as the rush
was over all but two of the boys were
taken off to perform other duties.
Those who remained were water
boys, parading the aisles with trays
Of glasses, which they offered to the
patrons. Now and then penny or
even a nickel or dime fell to the wa
ter carrier, but Billy was content If
the ladies smiled their thanks.
All this was before "E 112' came.
After that there was but one woman
in the world for William, just as there
is but one woman for each Of us at
some stage of boyhood.
"E l12" was worthy Of his worship.
Even the box Office boy had confided
to Calkins, the manager, that 1t was
"a dead swell dame who took up the
seat for Tuesday mats" and the man
ager had condescended to approve the
statement, though Calkins' own pref,
erence was for blonds. "E 112" had
dark hair of the soft, wavy kind that
makes a fellow long to stroke softly,
admiringly.
But Billy remembered nothing but
her eyes after he had received one di-
rect glance. He could look into those
liquid depths clear down into the un-
troubled soul beyond,
Every Tuesday afternoon the girl
occupied the same seat. The Century
reserved seats for its regular patrons
by the season, and once when the head
usher sought to shift Billy to the bal
cony, where there was a better chance
Of making tips. Billy promptly forgot
the fact that 1t was supposed to be a
favor and pummeled his benefactor
until the latter promised to put him
back on his old aisle.
| To such an extent had Billy become
enslaved that he even rejoiced in the
water job. He would work the front
rows very slowly, waiting with pa
tience for each patron to finish with u
glass, and when "E l12" asked for a
drink he would stand In rapt admira-
tion, ignoring the request of others for
glasses from the tray until she had
returned hers and there was no longer
any excuse for standing at her side.
Long before the middle of the sea-
son Eleanor Golden. otherwise "E
49," had come to know the earnest,
freckled little face, and the day that
she passed him in the street and gave
him nod and bright smile was a
golden one in the Baxter calendar.
Then came the day which even now
Calkins hates to recall because Of It's
one moment Of nightmare. There was
an act at the house that opened with
the supposed explosion OF an automo.
bile off the stage. the comedian enter
Ing with n tire and part Of the rim of
a wheel hung about his neck.
The effect was obtained in the time

and yet the report was louder than
when powder alone was used.
On this day a tiny bit Of the wad.
