A regiment of soldiers, with Wash

AT THE METROPOLITAN

Unquestionably the most important
event of the theatrical season in the
Twin Cities will be the presentation
of Klaw & Erlagger's massive pro-
duction, Little Memo" which comes
to the Metropolitans for weeks en-
gagement beginning Sunday night,
Dec. 5th in St. Paul, and open in Min
neapolis on Sunday night, Dec. 18th.
This wonderful spectacle, which,
although never before presented out
side of New York, Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia, has been witnessed
by upwards Of a million people, has
grown out of the clever cartoon ideas
of Winsor McCay, the well known
New York Herald artist, and the
marvellous dream adventures of Memo
constitutes series of enchanting
stage pictures such as have never be-
fore been attempted.
1t would require columns to ade-
quately describe the three acts and
ten scenes that tell the story of
Little Memo" at home and in Slum-
berland. Briefly, the King of Slum-
berland learns that the elixir which

and made it stick in her memory, word
for word. In the drawer of the writ
ing table before which she was sitting
there was a little file of letters that
meant more to her than anything else
in the world, except one dear memory.
They were all from rescued women,
they all told much the same little
story, and it was good to read. She
had made many failures, and some
terrible ones, which she could never
forget; but there were real successes,
too, there were over dozen of them
now, and she had only been at work
for three years. If she had more
money, she could do more; if she had
much she could do much; and she
knew of one or two women who could
help her. What might she not accom-
plish in a lifetime with the vast sum
her friend offered her!-the price of
hindering a marriage that was almost
sure to turn out badly, perhaps as
badly as her own!-the money value
of compromise with her conscience
on a point of honor which many wom-
en- would have thought very vague in
deed, if not absurd in such a case.
She knew what temptation meant,
now, and she was to know even better
before long. The prima donna had
said that she was going to marry Lo-
gotheti chiefly because he insisted
on it.
The duel for Margaret's hand had
begun; Van Torp had aimed blow
that might well give him the advan-
tage if it went home; and Logotheti
himself was quite unaware of the
skillful attack that threatened his hap
piness.

But you admit that she's going to

bornly.
I'm sorry for her, but it's none of
my business. It's not honorable to

the American, that you're bound to

SYNOPSIS.

Baraka, Tartar girl, became enamored
of a golden bearded stranger who was
prospecting and studying herbs in the
vicinity of her home in central Asia, and
revealed to him the location of a mine
of rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disclosure.
They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives, who blocked up the en-
trance, and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin
Saad her betrothed, attempted to CLIMB
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from a water gourd Saad car,
red, dug his way out of the tunnel. and
departed deserving the girl and carrying
a bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started in pur-
suit Margaret Donne (Margarita da
Cordova), a famous prima donna, became
engaged in London to Konstantin Lo-
gotheti. a wealthy Greek fnancier; Her
intimate friend was Countess Leven;
known as Lady Maud, whose husband
had been killed by bomb in St. Peters
burg; and Lady Maud's most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an sAmer,l-
can, who had been a cowboy in early
life, but had become one of the richest
men in the world. Van Torp was in love
with Margaret, and rushed to London as
soon as he heard of her betrothal

mothers old American friend, the ex-
cellent Mrs. Rushmore, with whom
she meant to go to Bayreuth to hear
"ParsifaP for the first time.
Mrs. Rushmore had disapproved pro-
foundry of Margaret's career, from the
first. After Mrs. Donne's death, she
had taken the forlorn girl under her
protection, and had encouraged her to
go on with what she vaguely called
her music lessons" The good lady
was one of those dear, old-fashioned,
kind, delicate-minded and golden
hearted American women we may
has got civilization by the throat and
is squeezing the life out of it, She
called Margaret her "chickabiddy"
and spread a motherly wing over her,
without the least idea that she was
rearing a valuable lyric nightingale
that would not long be content to trill
and quaver unheard.
Immense and deserved success had
half reconciled the old lady to what
had happened, and after all Margaret
had not married an Italian tenor, a
Russian prince, or Partisan COM
poser, the three shapes of man which
seemed the most dreadfully immoral
to Mrs. Rushmore. She would find it
easier to put up with Logotheti than
with one of those, though it was bad
enough to think of her old friends
daughter marrying Greek instead of
a nice, clean Anglo-Saxon, like the
learned Mr.. Dome, the girls father,
or the good Mr.. Rushmore, her Ia
mented husband, who had been an up
right pillar of the church in New

After all, though she thought all
Greeks must be what she called de
signing" the name of Konstantin Lo-
gotheti was associated with every
thing that was most honorable in the
financial world, and this impressed
Mrs. Rushmore very much.
Logotheti was undoubtedly cOnsid-
cred honest, and Mrs. Rushmore made
quite sure of it, as well as of the fact
that he had an immense fortune.

her earlier youth, the prima donna

Result of Continued Physical Suffer

After all, the relatively of human
misery is a matter of profound sig
nificance to the miserable. 1t is idle
to say that we cannot bear our own
pang any better because some one
else suffers sharper one. In point
of fact, if we do not bear it better
