REWARD TO HER CAPTOR
Continued from Page I.

clique lace gown, with gold trimmings
and embroidered with gold thread, her
gown was pronounced the finest seen in
Salt Lake in many seasons, either on
Or off the stage. Her costume was MADE
complete by an immense opera nat
crowned with eight great willow plumes,
and she wore a beautiful set OF white
furs.
When the applause subsidized Dolly DIM
pies seemed at first to be embarrassed
by the attention and the glare OF the
spotlight, as she said:
Ladies and Gentlemen; You don't
know how glad L am tnat l was cap

Woodbridge when she accOsted me on
State street last night. / was frlgntful-
ly tired-reaily exhausted-and L was
nervous and out of Sorts too, because
of the many engagements L had kept du-
ring the day and the unpleasant and DIS
agreeable DISCUSSES had been assum-

relief when Mrs. woodbridge placed her
hand on my shoulder and repeated the
salutatiOn in a firm, clear manner, so
there vas no chance for misunderstand-
ing any word. Really, when / felt her
hand on my shoulder 1 thought surely
1t was a man. and I was so surprised
when / saw 1t was woman just a
minute before Mrs Woodbridge accOsted
me net George Sheets, and said, Good
evening, Mr.. Sheets but he was think
ing about something else just at that
time for he overlooked his opportunity.
i've had many narrow escapes from
detection during my stay in Salt Lake,
and some of them have been extremely
amusing. The other day a very proml-
nent man of Salt Lake stopped me on
the street and, holding up copy OF Inc
Herald Republican, he said: Pardon me
Pardon me Oh, pshaw, what's the use
] can't remember that sentence and
turned away abruptly.
Has Had Several Homes.
During my pleasant stay in Salt Lake
j have had several homes, stopping first
at the Cullen hotel; then at the Wilson.
and later going to the Kenyon From
one of the hotels / escaped being caught
by moving out in big trunk. Now that
wasn't a bit funny, either, for my ut
lows had been thrown, was dark and
stuffy, and l nearly smothered before
Hhe trunk was opened in my new home
Il had one amusing experience down
south which / want to tell you, said
Dolly. Il started out from my hotel
one morning and soon nOuced that a
queer-loOking man was following me.
Whenever / moved he moved too, and
when 1 took a street car he was there
moo. At the end of the line my strange
follower was there and never did he
address me. Then 1 decided to go back
and 1 saw two other men grab the one
who had been following me. Later
1 discovered that my strange follower
was an escaped lunatic and the men
had been on his trial for several days.
Before 1 go l want to tell you peO-
pie of Salt Lake how much 1 have en-
jOyed my stay here in your beautiful
city, and how much I have enjoyed
meeting the people here. Never have /
been In a city where / was treated with
the same uniform degree of poltteness
and courtesy. l am especially glad
that 1 was finally captured by one who
has been working hard in the contest
and one who has been after me foI
more than a week, for it would have
been especially Illuminating II had
been caught by one who had just
started out on the search"
Dolly paused a moment and then pro-
duced fifteen bright, shining $50 gold
pieces. counting them so the jingle OF
the yellow coins could be heard all
over the theater.
Il have the $500 here for Mrs. Wool
bridge and I want you all to sse that she
gets it," said Dolly, as she counted cne
coins. Then she, tried to hand then
over the fOOtlights TO Mrs. Woodbridge
but couldn't reach. Mr., Murray came
TO her assistance, however, and tbs
coins were handed to the winner Of
the prize.
bOod-by and then the curtain went
down and there was another rOund OF
applause, shared by Dolly and the win
ner of the prize. ---
caPtor Looks Charming,
Mrs woodbridge looked charming il
