else. 1t seemed as though he could
never .descry enough Of that crowd
ed city. When he once more faced
about it was almost reluctantly,
and five minutes later he came
within sight of the bank.
A cross-town car had fouled a
laden wagon at Forty-second street
and the smooth stream of traffic
thus interrupted, it's backwash was
already blocking the avenue. In
front of the Night and Day bank
a choked congestion of foot-passen
gers was shuffling hnpatiently, fret
ted by the sudden sense of restraint
thus imposed upon them. Quain
lance suffered the closer contact oil
his near neighbors with unruffled
equanimity, and was pushed aside
accomplishing by those in more
haste than himself.
Progressing impatiently, step by
step, he had almost reached his
objective when the blockade broke
and the stream flowed on again,
urgent, impetuous, with added
weight. Edging through it toward
the bank, his Grant glance was ar
rested and held, for moment, by a
face which had come through the
doorway, and passed him at speed,
to be swallowed up instantaneously
in the dense. moving mass of hui
mainly on the broad sidewalk.
1.-The deuce!" said Quaintance,
and stopped short, struggling to
hold his own there against the on
come of others.
"The deuce!" said he, and turned,
as speedily as he might in the
press. prodigiously anxious to find
out which way she had gone. But
he could by no means discover
again the girl who, save but for
the simmer of unshed tears in her
eyes, was outwardly even as he had
imagined his ideal of girlhood.
He hung on one heel indetermin-
ately, and underwent then all the
iostling he could have desired. But
he was as Indifferent to that as to
the objurgations of other pedes-
TRANS who had made up their own
minds where they wanted to go.
He could not Immediately judge
whether it would be better to 60
north or south in pursuit, was more
than little bewildered by the
strange sensation which had SO as
sailed him at sight of her.
And, when he at length hurried
first south. then north, all his late
efforts proved futile. Fate, instant,
insistent, had hidden its time, shot
it's bolt, and gone back into hiding.
He came to a halt at cross
street corner, and stared very vex-
eddy up and down. He was no
longer SO well disposed toward his
fellowmen, that multitude in whose
midst he had lost all trace of the
face which had come twiXt himself
and his careless content with cir
cumstances. The next who pushed
past him was strongly repealed, and
after an irate glance of appraisal,
went his way more carefully, NUT
tering.

Bonner, the highly cultured
horse at the Pantages this week,
doesn't quite talk, but he let's you
know that he knows what he is
doing right at the start Of his act
and keeps you convinced of it all
the way through. Mathematics
seem to come easy to him as eating
oats. Possibly there's a little
frameup between Bonner and his
trainer that makes his performance
simpler than it looks, but if so, you
can't see the symptoms of it. Bon
ner is about as handsome piece
of horseflesh as you are likely to
see anywhere. The rest Of the bill

that Cheridah's voice was not ex-
actly what it has been, but she is
as wholesome to look at as ripe
peach, as graceful as ever, and her
songs, especially one of them, are
sprightly enough. Nothing naughty,
however-merely music and "other
things" There's a good little
sketch on the bill by Pellaton &
Foran that requires no effort to ap-
preciate and would be worth some
trouble if it did. The two princi-
pals and the story balance in
strength. Mile. Latina is moth
ing sylph-like, but she is fine
specimen of physical development
and possesses both agility and
grace. Frank Whitman ought to
be made to play something extra in
addition to this trick playing in
which he accomplishes the feat of
singing, fiddling and dancing all at
the same time. He gets splendid
tone out of the violin, even in
horseplay. Then there are De
Hollis & Valera in comedy jug
Cling that's immense in its line,
and some first class dancing by
the Rossiter Four. The Ellis
Nowlan circus is something big for
vaudeville in size and not lacking
in quality. There is lot Of classy
acrobatic work in it as well as
fun.

MRS. THAW ON THE STAND
Thaw Attorney Trying to Prove Harrys
Ideas About Dead Architect Were
Facts, and Not
Delusions.

White Plains, >Aug. 6.-Attorney
Charles Morschauser kept hammering
at Stanford Whites record today 70
prove Thaws ideas were fact and not
delusions. Roger O'Afara, former chief
Of police Of Pittsburg, was the first wit.
ness He confirmed the Thaw story Of
girl now leading actress, who was
attacked BY White in one of his dens
after he sent her to the hospital to be
treated. Jerome tried to Get OAfara
to admit he had induced the woman 10
refuse to testify OF Thaw's acts 0'AIara
denied also that he had ever heard Of
Ihaw whipping girls. District Attor.
new jerome couldn't shake his belief in
the truth Of the girls story Of White.
Mr.. Norschauser recalled Mrs. Thaw
and asked why O'Mara was Interested in
the case. She said he was a friend Of
Harry's father She produced a chart
of the Thaw family showing pos mem.
bers, only two of whom were mentally
unsound and they epiletics. She de.
clared that irrational Incidents OF Thaw
were the work Of combination of
friends Of White and that the testimony
bad been gsrbled TO prove Harry mad.
II i expected the taking Of testimony
viii end today. The attorneys viii sum
up on Saturday and Justice Mills hopes
70 render decision some time next
week.
Mrs. Thaw was constantly breaking
down and declared District Attorney Je.
rome had tortured her and her son. Jus
tiee Mills allowed her the widest lati
tude and she roundly denounced Jerome
as prosecutor. Between her sobs she
described the shrieking maniacs III the
corridors Of the asylum, eThey pace
about blasphenrng and otrsinq.p She
cried. ITS terrible, they never cease
cursing, some crying out vile things
An affidavit, reviewing the Thaw family /
history, was read and Mrs. Thaw then
