CHAPTER VI.

The door slammed, and Underwood
returned to the sitting room. Taking
no notice of Howard, he walked over
to the desk, slowly selected a cigar
and lighted it. Howard looked up at
him foolishly, not knowing what to
say. His frequent libations had SO
%befuddled him that he had almost for
gotten the object of his visit.
Excuse my butting in, old chap"
he stammered, but
Underwood made no answer. How
ard stared at him in comic surprise.
He was not SO drunk as not to be
able to notice that something was
wrong.
Say, old fellow" he gurgled;
you're a regular Jim Dumps. Why

face! Is that the way you greet a
classmate, a fellow frat? Wait till
you neal my hard-luck story. That'll
cheer you up. Who vas it said:
There's nothing cheers us up so much
as other peoples money!" Reaching
for the whisky bottle, he went on:
First I'll pour out another drink.
You see, 1 need courage, old man.
I've got a favor to ask. | want some
money. | not only want i'll need it."
Underwood laughed, a hollow. mock
ing laugh of derision. His old class
mate had certainly chosen a good time
to come and ask him for money. How
ard mistook the cynical gayety for
good humor.
Il said I'd cheer you up" he went
on. "T don't want to remind you o I

fifty bucks which you borrowed from
me two years ago. suppose you've
forgotten 1t, but
A look of annoyance came over I'm

Howard took another drink before
he continued.

He looked toward Underwood in q
stupid kind of way. as If looking for
some sign of approval, but he was dis
appointed. Underwood's face was a
study of supreme Indifference. He did
not even appear to be listening. Some
what disconnected. Howard again
raised the glass to his lips. and thus
refreshed. vent on:

Underwood could not help laughing.
"A couple of thousand? Why not

Towards demand struck him as be-
Ing SO humorous that he sat down con.
vulsed with laughter.
Looking at him stupidity, Howard
helped himself to another drink.

grin.
Underwood by this time had recov-
cred his composure.

As far as his condition enabled him,
Howard gave a start of surprise.

around the room, he said: What's

Underwood nodded.
"a bluff. that's it. Not a picture,
not a vase, not a stick belongs to

The suggestion was evidently too
much for him, because he stretched
out his hand for his whisky glass. "Fa-

fully.

 The curtain rises on the grounds at West Point, with the Stars and Stripes fiuttering in the breeze and the Hudson gleaming between the palisades in the distance. The appeal of the unoccupied stage. eloquent with a thrilling significance, is instan- taneous.

 The close of the dream marks the finale of the second act, which is the most magnificent spectacle ever stag ed for musical comedy A shower of gold falls upon ballet glorious in golden trappings, surrounding gold en statue, and, like the scene in Hen ley's poem, forms q picture that dag zles the eye by the sheer magnin- cence of scenic effect; but this beau tiful scene is scarcely more impress sive than the climax of the first act when the two old soldiers from the north and south lower the West Point flag at the signal of the sunset gun
 Through the entire play runs beautiful story of the southland pic turing the love and devotion of the old southern general, Dixie's guardian, who watches over his charge, guard ing her every footstep.
