caught by the sleigh and dragged about
40 feet, when the sleigh was overturn-

taken to her home and physician
called. He found that she had escaped
serious injury. Her right arm was
scratched and her hip bruised The
most painful injury which she received
was to her right lower limb. The foot
was slightly crushed and the limb bad

who was interested in every charity

goes to New York, and through occa-

ST. Denis In Chlcago.-One Of the
artistic and agreeable surprises of the
theatrical year is the coming to the
Colonial, Chicago, this evening of
Ruth ST. Denis, the celebrated Ameri-
can dancer, for a fortnight, in her
novel, graceful and unique perform
ance. Miss ST. Denis is the original
exponent Of terpsichorean interpreta-
tons of oriental religions and customs,
In which she has attained international
reputation. She has appeared before
the European rulers and created a gen
uine sensation in New York in weird
and beautiful dances. Miss st. Denis
will present in Chicago her entire rep
production of the program given with
such great effect at the Hudson thea
ter, New York, including THE Purca,"
wherein the spirit of incense is por
trayed, a symbol OF devotion in the
east; ''The Street" representing the
corner of an Indian bazaar, with Miss
st. Denis as a snake chaTmer; The
Forest" in which the dancer appears
as the Yogi, the Hindoo saint, and
THE Temple" which depicts the serv-
ices of a Hindoo temple and Miss ST.
Denis appears as a Hindoo idol. The
last number is mystic dance of the
Ave senses, and is the artiste's most
wonderful creation and a fitting climax
to her program of East Indian novel
ties. Each dance requires a special
stage setting. and all scenery used is
typical of the orient. A company of
II real Hindoos assist Miss St Denis
with the various scenes, and they serve
to lend the appropriate atmosphere,
especially when they converse in their
native tongue. Special Incidental mu-
sic has been composed for each dance,
which, with the accompaniment of a
large orchestra, adds to the mysterious
effect

They are resolved to kill him. For
Mcdonald had in years back met An
nette, a pretty little half-breed Ojib-
way girl-a good girl, a communicate
of the church; more French than In
dian; child who had all the simplicity
of her Indian mother, while she had
the teachings of the good Christian
fathers of the remote parish.
Mcdonald, constituencies, had court
ed her. won her confidence, betrayed
her, then left her to bear her shame.
And she had not been able to bear it.
She had wandered, half crazed with
grief and shame, into a blizzard, and
she had died in the swirling snow.
Her half-breed brother. Jules Beau
bien, splendid young French-Cana-
dian, only learned of Annette's exist
ence when her father on his death
bed. He meets Baptiste LeGrand, the
girls clean-hearted lover, who was to
have married her; but it was while
LeGrand was away in the north work
ing for the Hudson Bay company that
Mcdonald appeared and with his suavi-
ties and worldliness misled the simple
girl into believing that his love was
honest and that he meant to marry her.
Jules and Baptiste have been hunt
ing this man for two years. jules, by
artful talk, in which he causes Nc
Donald to believe that he. also, is
libertine, has gotten from McDonald's
own lips the pitiful story OF Annette.
There is further situation that makes
Jules anger against Mcdonald rise
even up to the white heat that it has
always been. Jules is in love with
Hilda, and it is plain that Mcdonald
is seeking to injure this girl-wOman as
he did little Annette.
This is the situation, and how it all
works out forms a theme of human
interest from which the attention of
the audience cannot be diverted while
it works before their eyes to the
tragic end, and this end furnishes. so
it is said, one of the most tremendous
emotional scenes ever presented on
any stage.

continued an uninterrupted run OF
