BY CHARLES RE4DE ana DION BOUcIcAULT

I fert Penfold spent a year in
sepafa confinement, and then, to
cure him of its salutary effect (if
any, was sent on board the hulk
Vengeance, and was herded with
the greatest miscreants in creation.
They did not reduce him to their
level, but they injured his mind !;
and before half his sentence had
expired, he sailed for penal
colony, a man with a hot coal in
his bosom, creature imbittered,
poisoned; hoping little, believing
little, fearing little, and hating
much.
He took with him the prayer
book his mother had given him
when he was ordained deacon. But
he seldom read beyond the fly leaf;
there the poor lady had written at
large her mothers heart, and her
pious soul aspiring heavenward for
her darling son. This, when all
seemed darkest, he would some
times run to with moist eyes; for
he was sure of his mothers love,
but almost doubted the justice of
his God.
| CHAPTER III.
| Mr.. Wardlaw went down to his
son, and nursed him. He kept the
newspapers from him, and, on his
fever abating, had him conveyed by
easy stages to the seaside, and
then sent him abroad.
| The young man obeyed in gloomy
silence. He never asked after Rob-
ert Penfold, now; never mentioned
his name. He seemed, somehow,
thankful to be controlled mind and
body.
But, before he had been abroad a
month, he wrote for leave to return
home and to throw himself into
business. There was, for once, a
nervou impotence in his letters,

The piece ran jnll spring at the Knickerbocker theater, New York. all summer at the Stude- Sbaker theater, Chicago, and all autumn Tat the Fremont theater, Boston. Re- port says no musical production of yrecent years has approachedrth this pres la57antation for magnitude of cast and Eefects in one of its scenes showing sConey Island. George " Hobart and John l.. Golden furnished the fun and music of the piece, the first writing sEhe book and lyrics and the latter the g@core. Further attest of the importance Df the production is offered in it's cast of one hundred, headed by Rock and Fulton and Frank Labor. Mrs. Annie He@mans, one of the most beloved of A@ll the older comediennes of the native @tage is another of the company. No production of the year has come in Nor more laudation. Comedian Rock dn the gaiety appears as a soda foun- tain clerk. Miss Fulton's role is that of sentimental candy shop girl Comedian Labor appears first as a mer- ry little tailor, next as a vendor of toy balloons at Coney Island and later as a Coney Island frankfurter sausage vender, or hot dog man, avocations into which he is amusingly forced by tis changing fortunes. Mrs Yeamans role is that of temperance advocate The interior of candy shop fashioned after the candy salon of Sherry's Fifth avenue restaurant in New York the interior and extericr of an open Coney Island trolley car, and a corner in one of Coney's night parks are the scenes Of the piece

Tell me, little Eyes O Brown Where it is you wander down When the Sand Man tippy-toes In where you are at repose. Do you ramble where the gleam or the murmuring shining stream Winds among the sylvan hooks, Joining other gurgllng brooks? 1t is where the robins song Echoes clear the whole day long AS you romp about at play, Through the blossomed Gates of Day. Tell me, little sweetheart fair, where it IS you journey there? Little dimpled Eyes O Brown, when the shades of night drop down, And the twilight pins the stars Tn. their places, near heavens bars. What about the dreams that flow When to Slumberland you go? Tell me, dear the rare delights And the really wonderous sights Of that mystic world afar. Where the gnomes and clf-men are, Let your rosy hand clasp mine With love so all-divine, And I'll follow gladly on I'll the sunset greetS the dawn. Little Eyes O. Brown, I kneel At your shrine again to feel Just the clasp of your wee hand Through the child-worlds Wonderland Lead me. sweet. until my eyes Greet the glory y-fiooded skies. And am a child once more Gazing through the Dreamland door.

Latest Biograph Features Head the
 Bill.

Once more the Breed theater is in the lead with two superb biograph pie lures that are less than a week old, Gne a splendid comedy and the other a very finished drama. As in all previous productions of the biograph firm, these pictures are above reproach or crit 2cism, each one in it's particular class being a gem. There is also the great feature picture of life in Washington, D. C., showing most satisfactory glimpses of the president Through all of the scenes of this latter picture there is running a vein of melodrama that e mot, ard does not, fail to inter- est and entertain all.
 There Is plenty of comedy of an un- usual character, that is convuislng, there being many absurd incidents that leave the audience in a hilarious con- dition, yet wishing for more.
