"Right of Wnyn Hero Soon.

One of the most important travel
ing organizations of the country,
Klaw q Erlanger's original company
in THE Right of Way is to be seen
soon in this city. This company, in
which Guy Standing and Theodore
Roberts are the stars, is seen in the
West for the first time this season.
The play, made from Sir Gilbert
Parkers greatest novel, is unique in
that it introduces to the stage a num-
ber of characters never before seen
in drama. Among these are the
characters of Charley Steele and Joe
Portugais, played respectively by Mr..
Standing and Mr.. Roberts. The spirit
of Sir Gilbert Parker's story and
characters has been retained by the
dramatist and the play is intensely
interesting from start to finish.

TO PREVENT WRECKS.
+ TSpecial to The Sentinel.


New York, Feb. 24-As the result
of nine years study and experiment,
a Brooklyn man has perfected a de-
vice to be applied to the block system
of railroad signals, which he declares
will make collisions impossible ana
will reduce the ordinary dangers to
minimum.
1t is an electrical contrivance which
works automatically. 1t has an in
dicator somewhat like the dial of II
clock and is placed in the engine
drivers cab.
According to the inventor. it will
indicate a broken rail. an open
switch. an open bridge, stalled train
or an approaching train on single
track at least a mile ahead.
Movements of an electric needle on
the dial indicate distance, time is
punched on clock dial and in cases
of danger large gong rings and red
| lights glare before the engine drivers
eyes.
By another automatic contrivance
steam whistle on the locomotive
sounds warning.
In addition to these safeguards an
electric shoe with a pressure of $50
pounds and worked by a magnet acts
as a brake and the engine driver
from his cab is enabled to telephone
to the nearest tower or station, pro-
vided it is not more than a mile
away.
Frederick La Croix of Brooklyn is
the inventor. This device, he says,
has been tested on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad in the presence of en-
gineers and officials. and the Erie
railroad has contracted to equip one
of its branches with 1t.

How Margaret Caught a Burglar

1t was a warm day in July. The only
cool place that was to be found was down
by the brook, the children thought, 30 Ruby,
Margaret June and the only boy, Cleo,
gathered up the croQuet set and started
for the little brook, where, on the soft
carpet Of blue grass, they played croquet
for hours. When they grew tired, they
would sit down anp listen to Margaret's
stories. Mrs. Der was going away and she
told the children to watch the house. The
children had played till they were worn
out. At last they fell asleep. Margaret
awoke with a start; what had mamma told
them to do. She jumped and ran to the
house. losing one of her slippers; she did
not care If Culby or Bottom took it away
and what she heard there was a tiny clink Of
silYerware, which was on the side board.
She ran in the house, and screamed, which
brought all the ~neighbors in. The burglar
was soon in jail, and she always re-
membered what her mother told her, and
the kiss that Margaret's mother gave her,
she had well earned.

Why the Boys Apologized

BY Rector Searle, Aged 10 Years, Ogalala,
Neb. Red Side.
The next TO the last day OF school found
the boys all talking and planning how
to make the next night, the most miserable
for the schoolmaster. One boy manned
CHESTER, said he had a plan. He said
for all to get tin pans and sticks, dinner
bells or anything that would make a lot
of noise. He said for all to meet at his
house the next night at half past seven.
The mex night at half past seven, all
started for the schoolmaster's house, which
was about a half a mile from Chester's.
When they got to the schoolmaster's house
they surrounded it and began the racket.
In about three minutes the front door
opened. The boys all ran, but Chester
who was not a coward. He expected to
see the schoolmaster, but was mistaken.
When the door opened, Chester saw the
town doctor come out. The doctor came
up to him and said that the schoolmaster
was very sick Chester said he was very
sorry and would apologize in the morn
ing. He walked slowly home and, as he
was about a block from home. some Of
the boys asked him why he did not run.
He then told them what the doctor said.
The next morning all the boys went to the
Doctors house, where the schoolmastsr
was staying and apologized.

The Hopkins Circus

Blue Side.
Vacation time had come ct last and the
Hopkin children, Harry, Dick and Mary.
after one month of leisure, found that
they had nothing to do.
So we find them on a day in July. trying
to think of some new game or pleasure,
when Harry suddenly exclaimed: "Oh!
/ have it," and then he explained to the
rest Of the children his plan about a circus.
Having confided this plan to the rest of
the childen in the nelghborhood, they set
to work to carry out their plan.
As the Hopkins barn was at present
empty, that place was chosen as the CIR
Gus grounds.
Now, let US so as spectators and see
the circus as others saw It.
Coming to the grounds We are at once
admitted for the price Of l cent for which
we receive a ticket of red paper. Handing
this to the ticket keeper, we are ad-
mitted into the animals quarters, which
was really the part OF the large barn.
what animals" we exclaIm. and ami
mails there surely were: long legged roost-
ers were CRAFTS. long legged hens were
ostriches, and Tommy, the cat was the
tiger, and another cat with her small
kittens, were the lions.
But let us go along or We shall 'tarry too
long here and DO late for the big show.
We are now admitted to another part OF
the barn and think 1t best to AXE reserved
seats, so we are admitted to the hay loft.
We will not give you a brief account Of
the sights: The 'loop-the-loop," by a
small boy with his tricycle.. terrifying ira
pezs acts, and many other acts.
We leave the Hopkins circus" having
a good time and, thinking our money

you doing Just before 1 Gamer my name

be afraid Of me. Harry; I will do you no

it was not a living creature at all, but a
balloon which had became loosened from
its anchorage many, many miles to the
southland and had flown way from its
owners, going with the wind to the north
land. A heavy anchor trailed along, which
prevented the balloon from rising as high
in the air as 1t otherwise would have done.
On 1t came, right towards the tree IA
which Brown Bruin sat. AS this tree was
some distance from the edge of the forest,
in fact it was the only tree in that spot, IL
seemed to Bruin that the thing was aim

ment he felt a bit apprehensive, But a
bear is never a coward, and pretty soon
Brown Bruin was ready for any encounter.
In truth. he courted some sort Of adven-

life had been devoid Of excitement of any
sort and he was pining for a change. Let

As II understanding Brown Bruins chal-
lenge, the balloon came on, flying pretty
low over the rocks and brush. All, then 1t
went sailing right over Brown Bruins
head, not stopping TO say Hello, little
fighter" And Brown Bruin was on the
point of crying out to 1t in some words Of
his own language when Of a sudden 1t
stopped, quivered, swayed back and forth
as II in a spasm of pain, All, the dragging
anchor has caught in the branches Of

climbing TO the place where the anchor
was held by a forked limb, Brown gave the

the small basket from which dropped the
anchor-rope. and It aroused his curiosity,
II looked like a little cave in air. so he
thought. Why, he did believe he might get
into It. Well, he would try. And try he
did. and pretty soon found himself seated
comfortably inside the balloon basket,

Then, to amuse himself, Brown Bruin be-

astonishing as II may seem, the anchor
became loosened from the forked limb, and
like a flash the balloon reared, started and

"Ah, this is fine. said Brown Bruin to
himself, And on he rode and rode. Then.
the wind rising, the monster bird, as
Brown Bruin still thought the balloon TO
be, rose higher In air, and pretty soon
Brown Bruin could hardly distinguish the
earth below. And then he wished he were
again on terra firma and began to feel
hungry. No doubt his dear old mother had

would eat his share Of the food unless he
hurried home. But how could he hurry
home? Here he was, going with the great
est speed toward the north, the place where
Brown Bruin had seen such beautiful lights
at certain times OF the year. lights which
seemed to form a great circle over the
earth.
And so the day passed, Brown Bruin sail,
ing through air at a tremendous speed, and
the air growing eolde and colder, causing
the little aeronaut great suffering. Dowr
in the bottom OF the basket he huddled
and finding a blanket folded there crawlet
beneath 1t. But his pangs OF hunger grew
and grew, and on he went farther and far
