PROCTOR'S HEADLINER.

With a company of twelve persons,
every one especially chosen for his or
her fitness for the different parts in
the act, a one-act musical farce by
George NJ. Conan, entitued The Gov

each of a lively, popular strain, and
with the rollicking Cohan flavor, and
all the latest and best in vaudeville.
Five men and seven women will pre-
sent the sketch. the latter being young,
pretty and magnificent dressers. The
costuming and general staging will be
pleasant features of the production.
The second Dig number on the pro-
gram will be a ripping, original farce
presented by Mrs. Gardner Crane and
a capable company of half a dozen per-
sons. The sketch is the creation of
Mrs. Crane, who will be It's chief fea-
ture in the cast owing to her size and
the special situations which h has
created TO emphasize that fact. It's
title is THE Little Sunbeam"
The Misses Katharine Nelson and
Elizabeth Otto will add to the variety
and enjoyment of the program with a
lively and especially entertaining talk
ing, singing and musical skit. They
are clever performers and are pro-
~fessionally known as the very much
different girls" Miss Nelson is the
coincidence and Miss Otto is the plan
list, and their offering bristles with new
things. One of the most interesting
acts of the week will be the appear
ance Of Towards ponies, an aggrega-
ton Of wonderfully trained equines.
They do things which seem almost i'm
possible to expect of an animal, and
afford a real treat for childyen and
grown folks alike. One of the best
known m~onologue artists in the coun-
try is doc" Howard O'Neil. He will
tell a lot Of new stories in an lnimitable
amer, hand over a line Of witty say
ings and sing a song or two of a
catchy character. Mullen and Corolll

~ceptionally good entertainers in an
act which will combine fast and good
talk, excellent comedy and some won
derful acrobatic work of a different
kind than the average vaudeville offer

The new circus at the New York Hip

lures all the acts hev been changed
and among those which have created

THE Flying Butterflies" otherwise the

perform surprising feats IN midair

the Indian ballet grow in popularity
with each succeeding week.

A T the Newark Theatre, next Mon
~ day night, Charles Frohman will
present John Drew, an actor
whose name stands for the finest art
o n the American stage. Mr.. Drew has
not visited Newark for a number Of
seasons, but now that he is coming he
will offer the finest success that he has
known in recent years, and will there
fore be seen to capital advantage. The
medium for mis- temperance before
local playgoers is a comedy called
Smith" In which he has won remark
able success during the past three
months at the Empire Theatre, New
York, from which place il comes direct
10 the Newark Theatre, with the COM
plete original supporting company and
splendid scenic equipment intact. The
new play is by w. Somerset Vaughan,
author of Lady Frederick" Jack
Straw Mrs. Dot n other pieces
which have found ready and lasting
favor with playgoers. While consist
ing mainly of delightful comedy, bright
repartee and well-directed satire, II has
nevertheless its serious side with ap-
pealingly human moments. 1t has been
well classed among plays which strike
effectively at some of the social follies
of the day. In Mr.. Drew's supporting
company are Mary Boland, Isabel Irv-
ing. Sybil Thorndike, Jane Laurel, Nor
ton Selten. Hassard Short and Lewis
Casson.
The principal character in Smith"
is Thomas Freeman, who has been
roughing 1t in Rhodesia for eight years
and who comes back to England to
visit his sister, Mrs. Dallas Baker.
She is married to a middle-aged man,
but is entertaining at her home a
young man, Algy Peppercorn, whose
duties are to go shopping with her and
escort her to the theatre and res
taurants in her husbands absence. In
return for his attentions he gets his
meals free at the Bakers fat. The
sister Is also surrounded by a typical
bridge-playing c~oterie, among whom
are Emily Chapman, a spinster of 80,
who Tilted Freeman whe he lost his
money, and Mrs. Otto Rosenberg, the
wife of a rich old German and mother
of a baby that she does not care for.
In this fashionable crowd Freeman
discovers a fresh-faced, fresh-minded
girl. Smith, the parlor maid. One Of his
reasons for coming back to London
was to choose a wife to return to Az

by the theatre-goers. Mr.. Marion will
also be seen in the olio, and will pre-
sent for the first time a one-act playlet
entitled Scenes from Life which Is
full of humor and pathos. The COM
pany supporting him will be in every
sense a capable one. There will be a
chorus of more than thirty pretty girls

and ability to sing and dance. The

CHAPTER III.

A few days after she had talked
with Lady Maud, and before Mr.. Van
Torp's arrival, Margaret had gone
abroad, without waiting for the
promised advice in the matter of the
wedding gown. With admirable re-
gard for the proprieties she had quite
declined to let Logotheti cross the
channel with her, but had promised
to see him at Versailles, where she
was going to stop few days with her
mothers old American friend, the ex-
cellent Mrs. Rushmore. with whom
she meant to go to Bayreuth to hear
"Parsifal" for the first time.
Mrs. Rushmore had disapproved pro-
foundly 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
never see again. now that progress"

darkened visibly. That's not Ike
you"
'Tll give a million pounds sterling"
said Mr.. Van Torp slowly.
Lady Maud leaned back in her cor
ner of the sofa, clasping her hands
rather tightly together In her lap. Her
white throat flushed as when the light
of dawn kisses Parian marble, and the
fresh tint in her cheeks deepened soft
ly; her lips we're tightly shut, her
eyelids quivered little. and she
looked straight before her across the
room.
"You can do a pretty good deal with
a million pounds" said Mr.. Van Torp,
after the silence had lasted nearly
half a minute.
"Don'tl" cried Lady Maud, in an
odd voice.
Forty thousand pounds a year." OBJ
served the millionaire thoughtfully.

good with that, couldn't your"
"Don'tl Please don'ti"
She pressed her hands to her ears
and rose at the same instant. Per.
haps it was she. after all, and not her
friend who had been brought suddenly
to a great cross-road in life. She
stood still one moment by the sofa
without looking down at her COM
panion; then she left the room
abruptly. and shut the door behind
her.
Van Torp got up from his seat slow
ly when she was gone, and went to
the window, softly blowing a queer
tune between his closed teeth and
his open lips, without quite whistling.

in that line of reasoning, is there?"
$50 far as reasoning goes" Lady
Maud's tone was half an admission.
That's all l wanted you to say"
interrupted the American. so that's
settled, and you're going to help me-"

gagement. But IL It should come to

"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
try and make trouble between en-
gagged people, no matter how ILL.,
matched they may be-"
Funny idea of honor" observed
the American, that you're bound to
let friend of yours break her neck
at the very gravel pit where you were

wouldn't listen to you, but in a mat

angry blue ones calmly.

things" she said. lowering her voice

often heard his spoken of with the
half-dozen greatest. You can DO
quite a great deal OF good with forty
thousand pounds a year"
Van Torps rough-hewn speech rang
through her head, and somehow us
reckless grammar gave 1t strength
and made II 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 1t was good to read. She
