Old John l.. can still play to
standing room and probably will
as long as he lives. Last night
he appeared at the Pantages with
his old opponent, Jake Kilrain, and
the pair went through a friendly
boxing bout. That it was friendly
was apparent, but the audience
seemed to get it's moneys worth
and greeted the pair warmly. Kill
rain is a much smaller man than
John l.. and appeared the more
alert. John l.. appeared early in
the program in a monologue which
tickled the audience. His stories
are all Irish ones and several are
told on himself. Maybe John L.
is no fighter at this late day, but
one look at his mighty right
would make most men timid about
inviting a blow. The balance of
the bill is meritorious this week

What are you going to do?"

"And that will end it all? Are
You sure?"
She hesitated before she put the
question, so much depended on his
answer. But he nodded reassuring-
ly.
I'm so glad-so glad that can
not thank you in words"
She stopped impulsively, took
both his hands in hers, and looked
up at him gratefully.

last one ray of hope broke through
the gloom. If Lorimer himself
could be found at one of his good
hours, and removed from Nugents
influence, he might repudiate the
whole nasty business. But this new
idea or any other would require
time. What effect would the delay
have on Ainslee? The enxiety and
suspense had already told upon her,
and, buoyed up as she was by the
belief that Maddox's interview with
Mr.. Prayer would settle everything
the disappointment would almost
be more than she could bear. There
was no saying when matters would
be adjusted now. She could ac-
complish nothing by waiting. day
after day in the city, wearing her.
self out with conjecture and doubt.
1t would be much wiser for her
to return home at once and tell the
whole story to Kay.
The composition of the letter EN-
bodying these views cost Maddox
no little time and thought. 1t was
difficult to soften his report OF the
interview with Mr.. Prayer without
deliberate misrepresentation, and
still more difficult to give encour-
agement without holding out false
hopes. Nevertheless. his note con-
tanned brave words, carefully cho-
sen to relieve anxiety and to in
spire confidence.
Ainslee took Maddox's note from
the hotel letter rack and retired
with 1t to her own room. There she
read it again and again.
The appeal to Mr., Prayer had
been Mnddox's last move--made
when every other avenue of escape
had been barred And that appeal
had failed. His letter stroye to
avoid the direct admission, but that
only emphasized the danger TO
Ainslee's sensitive perceptions, She
experienced no shock, however.
Her sensations were those OF tho

THEATER

Take "Spoonyville' from the
bill and the Orpheum would have
a complete list Of high class per-
formers, vaudeville actors and
classy entertainers this week.
Nonette, musician and soloist, is a
marvel and fairly holds her audi
ences in a spell with clever manip-
ulation of her sweet toned violin
and beautiful voice. The Kitaban-
zai troupe of eight Japanese and
the "Six Little Girls and a Teddy
Bear" are strong rivals for the
next place on the bill. Tht girls,
all so like in size and SO near in
feature that the lover of one might
fall into serious trouble with all,
could entertain an audience alone,

big laugh all by himself. Everett
Scout, who is little more than a
yard tall. is the Teddy Bear. The
kitabanzai troupe is a central at
traction with magnificent back
ground representing a battleship

"A Modern Pochahontas" Is a
thrill of hostilities between the In

almost hair raising and well play

soloist and raconteur, is great.

Dentistry

Dental Surgery, as practised by
the Electro Dentists, is built on the
most modern methods and the most
modern appliances are used in the
work.
The Electro Dentists are. not be-
ginners; they know what they are
at; the men in their office have
made lifetime study of the pro-
fession; they stand head and Shout
ders above all competitors in the
state and their dental work Is with
out flaw.
And prices are as low as you will
. find anywhere, and from the stand
point of merit they are the lowest
that are charged by any reputable
office. When teeth doctoring has
to be done, it will be well for you
to visit this office.

CHAPTER XVI.

BY the time Ainslee returned
from Providence with copies of the
full record of the Rhode Island suit
Maddox had little hope of learning
anything useful from them. Still.
he examined them carefully on the
chance of learning something
which would suggest an escape
from the maddening predicament.
But the defect which Nugent had
discovered existed, and it was in
durable. Similar cases had been
passed upon by the highest courts
and the law was no longer even
debatable. If the Lorimer action
were pushed, 1t would succeed, and
nothing could prevent the issuing
of a shameful decree. Ainslee was
hopelessly trapped.
Convinced Of the impossibility OF
defending her case or diverting the
catastrophe by direct means, Mad
dox proceeded to demonstrate the
correctness of his theory as to the
purpose of the suit. He worked
cautiously, for every step was
fraught with danger, and false
move would invite disaster. To ap-
proach Nugent or Myrick openly
was not to be considered for mo-
ment. If his conclusions were JUS
titled. direct oyertures would Mace
him at a disadvantage from the
start. If he were working along
the wrong lines, his theory might
give a hint to the enemy upon
which they would not be slow to
act. If the idea of killing the Pla-
cento litigation with the Lorimer
suit had not occurred to his oppo-
nents, he had no right to supply
them with the suggestion. Hasty
action of any Kind would expose

BY PRISCILLA PRlM

In the matter of tact, patience
and good nature the saleswoman
deserves glorious recognition.
Her powers Of smiling endur-
ance that stand the day-long test
spun out by querulous, nagging
and overbearing shoppers, pass all
understanding.
The firstclass saleswoman Is re-
markedly quick to read human
nature. She seems to be able to
tell real lady from the make
believe by the mere wave of the
plumes on her millinery. She
knows just what a customer wants
before the customer herself has
the dawn of an idea.
AL together her intuitive in
stincts are developed to we'll
night sorcery.
The rank and file of saleswomen
may seem underpaid for the
amount of service given, but in
their vocation, as in all others,
there is plenty of room higher

The average girl who stands
behind a counter gets 81 a week.
Probably 20 per cent of the
women employees in store receive
$15 a week. A smaller number
exceed this figure.
But there is good chance in
the department store for the am
bilious girl to rise and make for
herself a position of responsibility
and profit. Women are now en-
ployed as assistant managers,

vertisers and superintendent of

EN- PIRE

The house opened with stock in
addition to the regular program
yesterday under fiattering circum-
stances, playing to standing room.
The short one act sketch idea
made hit from the start. The

his weakness, If 1t did not engulf
him utterly in some hidden pitfall.
Wariness and indirection were the
only safeguards in this voyage of
discovery. After long and tor
tuous course of roundabout investi-
cation and inquiry, Maddox's sus-
picions were fully confirmed. The
price Of Ainslee's immunity was the
abandonment. of the Placento liti-
cation.
The terms OF the exchange were
brief and simple. Neither side
need fear bad faith. Let one case
insure the other. At the first ad-
journment of the Placento case the
divorce action against Mrs. Evans
would be discontinued. AS long
as Maddox allowed the Placento
case to lie dormant, Lorimer's case
would not be renewed; IL Maddox
moved his case for trial, Rutledge,
Bailey & Nugent would file new
papers against Mrs. Evans. The
Placento contract had about three
years more to run. At the end
of that time Lorimer's action would
be barred by law. Lorimers coun-
sci could manage him, and presum-
ably Maddox could fix his man.
Not q word OF this proposition
came to Maddox direct from his
opponents. Negotiations OF this
kind generally have cover, some
times two covers. sometimes
three. Anyway, they seldom see
the light. There are very few law
yers who are publicly disgraced.
Meanwhile. Ainslee had been
causing Maddox no little anxiety.
p The suspense and delay had been
visibly telling upon her She was
as self possessed and calm as ever,
but she seemed tn be steadily los.

vigorous tonic was necessary,
and explained the situation IN its
cycry detail.

But there was bitter, bitter disap
pointment in store for Maddox. In
his promise to Ainslee he had reck.
oned without his host. Mr.. Prayer
when acquainted with all the cir.
cumstances, flew into a terrible
rage and declared that he would
not be blackmailed. He impugned
Maddox's honesty, and declared
that II necessary he would get an
other lawyer, but go to trial the
case must and would, at the earliest
possible day.
That was his ultimatum to Mad
dox, and it left the latter in sor-
rowful, almost hopeless, mood. At

SPOKANE

A little of evtrything is COM
bined in "The Devils Auction"
which opened at the Spokane last
night and will be seen again to-
night. There is some musical
comedy and nonsense, a touch of
drama, commendable specialties
and brilliant scenic and electrical
effects, all of which unite to give
the piece an almost entirely new
appearance to a person who saw
it years ago. The audience was
small but appreciative on the open
ing night. The burden of the fun
making falls on Tobey, in which
role George M. Topack shines.

BOYS LEARN TO SHOOT
BY SCHOOL TRAINING

The National Rifle Association Of
America is taking considerable in
terest in the subject of training
schoolboys and providing for them
means of practice both with the SER
vice rifles and with rifles for re-
duced ranges. A bill to promote
rifle practice in public schools and
colleges. submitted by this depart
ment, was forwarded to congress by
the president last December, with
recommendation for its passage. The
bill provided for the supply of ma
terial and instructions for carrying
out its object. and appropriated
100000 to cover the expense. It
was not enacted into law 1 think
the subject should not be allowed
to drop, and that efforts should be
made to secure the proficiency of
the greatest number of young men
possible in the use of the military
rifle. The encouragement of rifle
practice among our citizens and
schoolboys is of the greatest i'm
portance in this country, where pre-
paredness for war is largely based
on the employment of an army of
volunteers, and wisely framed laws
will give a healthy stimulus to this
branch of military preparation.
