eagerly.
I've told you already I'll swear
to her anywhere"
Arendsen's anger had all evap
Grated. He sat back and slapped
his knee, chuckling in his beard

and, when he at length caught
ESeager's glance of incensed aston,
ishment, that seewed but to add
to his mirth.

Separator with a most acid inflec-
ton.
There's nothing the matter
with me-" answered Arendsen
Not with me. anyway. It's you
that's on the wrong scent, Domi-
mic, my boy, and what I'm here
for is to put you right"
isn't that the girl?" Seager
questioned explosively. "Are you
going to tell me that you know
her better than I do? You may as
we'll save your breath"
I'm going to tell you," re-
turned his companion impressive
ly, that l know better than you
where she is. She's In Paris. She
came across from New York In the

He gazed triumphantly at the
other, and Seager's countenance
slowly assumed a similar geniality
as he grasped gradually, by de-
gress, the import OF that astonish-
ing statement.
And she travelled In the same
train from Havre," continued
Arendsen. TELL me now whether

New York"
But you didn't know" Seager
argued. at was pure chance. A
most marvellous piece of luck"
He said no more for a moment,
revolving 1t in his mind.
Did you find out her destina-
ton? Was she alone? he demand
ed at length, and Arendsen shook
his hea, less elated.
"She was travelling as Miss Lor-
raine, according to the passenger
list, and had q maid with her.
That's all l can tell you"
well, we must find her at once,
Wherever she IS" Seager cried, and
sprang to his feet. Come on"
.'Sit down." cried Arendsen
sharply. 1--WE must go to work

f"I must have some money to
start WITH" Seager broke in. ''I
owe a bill here, and they've got
my baggage all towed away In one
Of their cellars. 1t was a dirty
trick, Arendsen, to leave me rot

II was good upset by your

Seager glared at him.
"Cut that OUT" he commanded

AT THE TACOMA.
|.MERRY WIDOW" is
THE ONE BIG HIT

After listening two long, patient
years to the Eastern enthusiasm
over "The Merry Widow" and
wondering curiously what could
be so attractive In the opera as
to detain 1t In the big musical CEN
ters for so long, Tacoma has at
last been treated to a production
OF the show-and Tacoma is still
wondering. That is-Tacoma saw
the opera, heard the music, gasped
at the dance and reveled in the
stirring scene at Maxims only to
wake this morning unable to tell
what there was to the opera that
had taken such hold on him.
And therein lies Franz Lehar's
art. His is the faculty of writing
dialogue, inserting music and in
termmgling dances with such SUBJ
tie effort that one forgets every
thing but the vivid panorama pre-
sented to his sight and hearing.
The actors in an opera OF the
ilk of ''The Merry Widow" do not
count for such a great deal. Their
success lies in being able to tell
and do the things that Lehar in
tended for them in the way that
Lehar wants them to be done.
One can imagine any other ac-
complished young opera singer in
the role of Sonia, "the widow"
making the same hit that Mabel
WILDER did last night.
The other parts could be capa-
bly filled by almost any group of
opera stars, and the effect would
be the same. '"The Merry Wild
ow" Is Lehar-Lehar from curtain
to curtain.
George Damarell did excellent
work last night as Prince Danilo.
The other members of the COM
pany are we'll placed.
"The Merry Widow" was given
again this afternoon and will con-
clude its Tacoma engagement to-
night.

which comes to the Tacoma thea

owes the greatest part of its
success to the fact that It appeals
to the casual theater-goer quite
as strongly as 1t does to the most
scholarly critics. Competent crit
ics have hailed the play as "the
greatest drama of the genera
tion," undoubtedly because 1t
arouses the enthusiasm off audi
tors who disregard the subtle
meaning in the lines and give
their attention only to the surface

 SALE AT FISH CREEK. - The Sheriffs office here on February 23 will sell the contents of the Fish Creek station, consisting of groceries, tobacco, cigars, liquors and whatever else go to make up the stock of goods of a station. The station has been run by a company consisting of Sam Thatcher, and said to contain such eminent members as Judge Hin- son Thomas of Globe and Sheriff Thompson of Gila county But neither Thomas nor Thompson had anything to do with the enterprise except to finance it and be expect ant of profits. Though the station is said to have been doing a good business there have been no declara- tions of dividends brought to the notice of the silent partners nor have any of the bills or debts been paid. The complainant in this case is the Globe National Bank. The claim with costs and interest now amounts to about $500.
 ARRESTED FOR PEJURY.-Dep- 1ty Sheriff Wayne Davis came in yesterday afternoon with a young man by the name of Clarence Hand, wanted in Prescott on a charge of perjury. Hand since being in the valley had been employed on tine ranch of Charles Pendergrast. Hand denied last night that there was any truth in the charge which he says is based upon the theft of a lot of barley in Yavapai County last fall. Hand bought some of the barley at | price which ought to have made i'm suspicious and he was later charged with having stolen 1t. He could only say that he had bought 1t of man who called himself Hicks, le could not give very good des- ,ription of him and when he was confronted by the only stranger in that part of the country of the name )f Hicks he failed to identify him. The testimony of Hand as to Hicks is what has got him into the trouble.

 INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE co. The Peoples Independent Telephone Company has made a good start in Mesa City A Schreck. who has charge of the Mesa district, has now ninety three subscribers on his list. Almost every business man in that city is go
 ing to take a phone with the home company, he says, and welcomes the new system. The Peoples Independ- ent Telephone Company is a purely cooperative system and all the sub
 scribers are stockholders to the ex
 tent of $40 which pays for the install
 ation of the system. and the rent will be the actual maintenance cost. MT Schreck reports two phones already installed in the homes of MT. Telforc and MT. Dorman near Mesa, and many more will be installed as soon as Wal ter Arney can build the rural lines. The two phones installed talk up won derfully and the subscribers are wei pleased. The new exchange will be placed as soon as the franchise is granted by the city of Mesa, which will be about forty days. MT. Schreci says that he expects about 125 sub
 scribers when the exchange Is in- stalled. MT. Schreck also says that

 A THIEF'S WlFE-Tr.- pln at the Third Avenue Is proving good draw ing card this week, as is attested by the number of people present last night. The new play was naturally smoother and MT. Winters was, if any thing, a bit better than before. Thurs day evening he was a bit nervous as this was his first appearance before a Phoenix audience. The scene in the second act last night was intensely in teresting. When Bellamy confesses that he has stolen the money, and done 1t for his wife, Mr. Winters acting was splendid. Miss Bryan plays up to him with a unique style all her own. and Morrie Streeter furnishes the healthy and masculine idea of friendship in his inimitable manner Tonight and this afternoon the same play will be given, and it is being whispered all over town today what the real name of the play is. On Sunday evening there will be an entire change of bill, one of Streeter's own productions be- ing scheduled for the evening. Seats are selling fast for a "Thiefs Wife" and there will undoubtedly be a good attendance at both matinee and even ing performance.

There was a quite thorough discussion of the value these institu- tions have been to the interests of the territory in many ways, and there was TO differing opinion in any quarter.
