garde was an ancient Saxon dame imbued
with an intense hatred for the Norman
who kept her state after the manner of
her ancestors. No Norman custom nor
any Norman foot was allowed to be in
PRODUCED into the grim old Saxon DWELL
ing where she ruled.
Eveline was received by her aunt in
severe and gloomy state and informed
that she had been invited to the castle
in order that she might sleep one night
in the chamber of Wanda, as was obliga-
tory upon every daughter of the house
of Buckingham to do before her mar
riage. Wanda was a family ghost and
her function was to appear to the young
ladies of the race upon their occupancy
of the chamber and foretell their future.
Though trying to persuade herself that
the legend of Wanda was a mere super
sttion Eyeline felt a secret terror when,
barring the door as she had been directed,
she was left alone in the gloomy cham
Der. On a pallet outside the door Rose
had established herself and two other fe-
males of the retinue were within call.
About midnight Rose was awakened by
the screams of her mistress, and being
unable to open the door she called out of
the window to a soldier Of the guard
which the care of De Lacy had thrown
around the castle. The soldier, ascending
to the window of Eveline's room by a
tree which grew in the long, dry and dis
| used moat, broke open the easement, and
unbarring the door appeared with Eveline
in his arms, delivered her to the care of
Rose and hastily departed as he had
, come Eveline was in a faint and did
not revive for some time. When she re-
covered consciousness she declared that
a trick had been played upon her by her
aunt, and gave orders that her train
should depart from the castle at the
| first break Of day. She confided to Rose
| that person, or spectre, having the
| legendary appearance Of Wanda had
awakened her in the middle of the night
and, making the sign of the Cross over
her with bloody ffnser, had repeated the
words:
Widowed wife and welded maid.
Both betrothed, betrayer and betrayed
| She had screamed and tainted, but had
a vague idea that an angel had suddenly
! come upon the scene and rescued her
1T was no angel" said Rose, "but Nor.
| man soldier whom I called from before
| the castle" Eveline blushed, for she re-
| called that, even in her terror and faint
ness she had noticed that the face of the
supposed angel was remarkably like tina
l
of Damian de Lacy.
If the constable had been a cold wooel
at first, he soon developed into an arden
one, and began to move heaven and eartl
to obtain remission of his vows as I
| crusader in order that he might stop a
| home and enjoy the connubial bliss which
he promised himself with Eveline. Blu
the constable was one of the most famous
warriors of his time and his detection
from the cause would work irreparabl
injury So, while he was In the act o
celebrating his betrothal with grea
pomp, there appeared in Gloucester tn
Archbishop Baldwin. The successor o
Beckett insisted with all the authority Q
the church that the constable fulfill hi
vows and take not the cross from hi
shoulder.

Sir Walter Scott, whose magic pen has
illuminated SO many phases of history,
drew In 1.-The Betrothed' a living picture
of the conditions which existed in Wales
and on the border of that principally
while yet the Welsh were an independent
people at constant war with England
History proper, which has devoted itself
so much to the wars between England and
Scotland and to the conquest of Ireland,
has paid but scant attention to the re-
markable and stirring story of the manner
in which the remnants of the ancient
5B1ftons, the successors of Arthur and his
knights, maintained themselves for so
lmany centuries against Saxon and Nor
man. The main facts, dryly and briefly
told have seemed TO suffice the majority
of historians when treating of this chap
ter In the making of Great Britain. Yet
THE Betrothed" shows what wealth
of romantic history lies in the vein from
which Sir Walter took a single piece of
ore. Perhaps some day an author will
arise who will do for Wales what Scott
Gid for Scotland.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"a Gentleman From Mississippi,'.
will be presented here at the Lyceum
theater for the week of Oct Is, with
Joseph r. Grismers splendid COM
pany which has been the laughing
sensation of Chicago for more than
six months, playing to crowded houses
even. on the most torrid and 'oppres-
sive nights of this last summer. Those
who have seen the piece say that
there are more laughs and better fun
In one act of it than in half of the
comedies now on the road all put
together. 1t is the merriest of all
plays.
And there is sentiment in it, too.
Love scene after love scene, some Of
them mirth=proyoking and others
filled with - beautiful sentiment,
abound in the play. There is a de-
lightful southern atmosphere about
it all that suggests the land of roses
and the palmetto: The principal role
that of Senator Langdon, is played
by Mr.. Burr Mcintosh, once famous
as '"Taffy'' in '"Trilby," while Will
Deming, one of the most brilliant of
our younger comedians is equally sue
cessful as the breezy young Yankee
secretary. The same splendid COM
pany which has been appearing in
the piece for the last six months in
Chicago will be seen in the PERFORM
ance here. There is carload of
special scenery and no expense has
been spared to make the production
lavish one.
