wonders to this day why the old woman
cried.
N MOTHER day the woman snt beside
.Aa boy in Broadway car. The boy
read book. The book was old. 1t
had no back, and so far as the woman
could make out it had no name, but those
deficiencies did not matter. a book Of
that kind doesn't need supernuous merits
such as back and title TO bolster il up;
it IS such a masterpiece in itself that 1t
can get along without those artificial ac-
cessories to literature. The tale was a
ghost story. The heroine's name was Ade
laide, Adelaide was brave. She sat alone
in the ''long gallery" nt midnight and
waited for ''1t' TO appear. so she could
tell TT something and ease Its" mind.
Adelaide began to watch at the top of
page forty-six and the woman and the
boy watched with her. Over page after
page the readers raced, eye nfter eye, 20
see what came of the awful vigil. \
breathbating noise had just been heard
at the far end of the room. "It' was
surely coming. The conductor threw back
the door of the car with an unprecedented
bang and roar that sounded like
Twenty-eighth street" The boy said
Gee, and gave a prodieious leap toward
the door and the woman said ooh. dear
me, and came within one OF faintinE.
When she came to, the boy had gone,
and the book. of course, hnd gone with
him. Later on the woman spent whole
day studying ghoStly literature Every
thing available, from The House and the
Brain to the The Turn of the Screw"
was examined. but nowhere could she find
q story whose forty-siIth pnse and subsc-
quent pages were onc.half so interesting
as that forty sixth page. The story may
not have been high art but it was mighty
good reading, and the woman wants the
rest Of it, and if anybody can tell her
where she can set it she will be eternnny
obliged.

an Elaborate Revival
This Week

The Princess theater announces an
elaborate production of the rollicking
musical comedy "Piff. Paff, Pouf'' for to-
morrow (Monday) night. No play of its
kind has achieved a greater success,
and as many months have elapsed since
it was last given here, its revival
should be cordially welcomed.
Many new and catchy numbers have
been introduced into it, the Dialogue
has been entirely revised and brought
UP to date; beautiful scenery and cos
tunes and the best cast ever given the
play in this city will cause the coming
production to eclipse previous ones wit

Lillian Montague, a role which affords
her full opportunity for the display
of her great versatility and comedy
talents Fred Mace as Peter Pouffier
James T. Stevens as Lord George Pff-
fle has several very pretty numbers
particularly suited to his splendid barry
tone voice. Helen Darling and Zoe
Barnett will appear respectively as
Rose and Cora Melon, while Nora and
Encora Melon will have competent ex-
ponents in Ella Morris and Lydia Crane.
The remaining characters are distrib-
uted as follows: Macaroni Paffler, Bud
gust Melon, Chris NJ Linton; Joe Sill
YER Walter Catlett, and Bedelia, Ellen
Crane Jennie MetzIer, Violet Elbe,
Laura Vale. Myrtle Dingwa1i, Frances
Paon and Fay Parks will represent the
bellies of the different American states.
