tanning Washington's amusement-ioving
pubIi, when the Columbia, after its
splendid season of summer attractions.
leaves off.
Chase's holds a rank both unique and
popular in Washington. While the other
leading theaters cater to the groWn-up
folks, Chase's caters as well to the chli-
dren as the older folks and does 1t IN
such a delicately delightful manner that
nobody ever seems to suspect 1t. The po-
lite vaudeville bills presented al this
theater season after season are always
clean. wholesome, entertaining and en-
ioyable, but such is the care with which
the management looks after the interests
of its patrons that each succeeding sea-
son seems to hold in store a better bill
of fare than its predecessors. Washing
ton is fortunate in this respect. and
Chase's always crowded houses, whether
at matinees or at night, is the way it
has of testifyins its appreciation Of the
fact.

Berger and MetZerott presented during the
week just closed a great play in man
ner that seems to be deserving OF fur
ther comment.
The Columbia Players, as the manage
ment has styled their summer stock COM
pany, have done some surprisingly good
work during their season. There was
not a play. it is believed, that fell short
of the public expectation in merit. both
as to its performance and as to its
mounting. II is obvious that at the low
prices Of admission the possibilities of
the stage director in the matter of cos
TUNES and mountings were necessarily
very limited. Yet not once was occasion
given for unpleasant comment. On the
contrary. the mounting of the sixteen
different plays that have been presented
always came in for its share Of praise
and sometimes for exceptional commen-
dation.
Folks saw the scenes and admired them,
but not one in hundred ever knew
whose was the mind that conceived CT the
hands that wrought wonder with the
stage material at command Indeed.
Frederick A. Thomson. Columbia's star
stage director, was as little known TO the
general public in the front of the house
as If he never existed. Yet after q long,
nerve-racking, arduous season OF the
most exacting duties behind the scenes,
this man. with but little more than a
weeks preparation, stepped TO the front
with a delightfully."- finished Offering of a
role that made Sol Smith Russell not only
famous. but one of the most beloved act
ors In the profession. It was a remarka-
BILE achievement. Not only did Mr.
Thomson escape unkind comparison with
Mr.. Russell III his great role of the poor
inventor. Noah Vale, but it is fact that
lifelong friends OF Mr.. Russell went ont
OF their way during the week TO seek out
Mr. Thomson and with tears in their
eyes thank him for glimpse of the past
in which they said they saw their old
favorite again. Had Mr.. Thompson had

CHAPTER XII.
"Dan"-Quixote.

Leaving the hotel, Maitland strobe
quietly but rapidly across the car
tracks to the sidewalk bordering the
park. A dozen nighthawk cabbies bore
down upon him, yelping in chorus. He
motioned to the foremost, jumped into
the hanson and gave the fellow his
address.
Five dollars" he added, eff you
make 1t in five minutes"
An astonished horse, reused from a
droop-eared lethargy, was yanked al
most by main strength out of the cab
rank and into the middle of the ave-
nue.. Before he could recover, the
long whip-lash had leaped out over
the roof of the vehicle, and he found
himself stretching away up the avenue
on dead run.
Yet to Maitland the pace seemed
deadly slow. He fidgeted on the seat
In an agony of impotence, a dozen
times feeling in waistcoat pocket for
his latch keys. They were there. and
his fingers itched to use them.
BY the lights streaking past he
knew that their pace was furious, and
was haunted by fear lest 1t should
bring the police about his ears. At
Twenty ninth street, indeed, a dream
ing policeman. startled by the uproar,
emerged hastily from the sheltering
gloom Of a store entrance, shouted
after the cabby an inarticulate ques-
ton. and. getting no response, un-
sheathed his night stick and loped up
the avenue In pursuit, making the
locust sing upon the pavement at
every jump.
