prosecuting attorney has been un-
usually bitter against the boy, for
they had both been suitors for the
hand OF Brookfield's niece. The gam
bier is now thoroughly convinced of
the fact of telepathy and hypnotism,
and, realizing that with his ability
there is no such thing as a square
game for him, has closed up his pusl.
ness. He is sitting alone, trying to
influence by telepathy the mind of one
juror who, he thinks, is susceptible to
his thought. Under Judge Prentice's
directions he has had published in
the newspapers the fact that the prose
cutting attorneys was responsible for
the killing of Scovel, the governor
elect of Kentucky.
What is the gamer" asks a dubious
fellow gambler. And Brookfield re-
phes that If he can show the people
OF Kentucky the despicable character
Oh the prosecuting attorney, his bitter
prosecution OF the boy will have no
uHect on The jury. And when he is
20 tnar the jury is not allowed to
read the newspapers he replies that

There is a round OF applause on

is accepted, even in New York first
night audiences.
The boy is acquitted. The prosecut-
ing attorney is jeered cut of court,
comes rushing in TO Brooklield and
places a revolver against his breast.
You can't shoot that gum says
Brookfield, calmly looking him in the
eye. You can't pull the trigger. You
can't even hold that gum"
The mans hand opens, the revolver
drops and the curtain comes down as
he gasps: I'd like to know how in
hell you did that to NELL"
In the last act HSrdmuth, the gam
bier, is refugee from justice. Brook
field, instead of giving him up when
he finds out where he is, helps him to
escape, as he believes that the man,
with all his moral weakness, was not
really the original criminal. The wom-
an that Brookfield has loved for many
years finally sees the real beauty of
his character and admits that she was
weak in letting her boy grow Up with
a prejudice that had caused so much
suffering.

The most scholarly and distin-
guished OF American critics, William
Winter, has declared that the great
lest American play of this decade is
THE Witching Hour In which John
Mason and distinguished company
will appear tonight at the Colonial.
The story of this fascinating play
lis as follows:
The scene of the play is laid In
Louisville, KY, and Washington. Jack
Brookfield is a professional gambler.
having become very wealthy through
his playing. though he has the reputa-
tion OF always playing a straight
game" The woman he loves has re-
fused to marry him because of his
profession" and on the night that
the play opens he asks her, now a
widow with son Of twenty, to take
up the old romance and conclude the
story. They are interrupted by the
appearance Of Judge Prentice, of the
supreme court, who comes to look at
a Corot that Is in the picture collec.
ton OF Brookfeld. The Judge answers
several questions that Brookfeld Is
thinking of asking.
DO you pick answers often like
that! asks the gambler.
And then, the judge proceeds to ex-
plain that telepathy is an accepted
scientific fact, all of which is news to
Brookfield. who now muses. on his own
ability to win at cards. The act con-
cluded with the murder of a drunken
man by young Whipple, who has an
inherited aversion for cat's-eye pin.
and Is unable to restrain himself
when the drunken man pushes it in
front Of his face.
In the second act the library of
Judge Prentice in Washington is
shown. Young Whipple has been tried
for murder and found guilty, and the
case is now before the supreme court
on constitutional point. Brookfield
and his old sweetheart, who is the
mother OF the guilty boy, come to the
Judge to remind him that years before
he had fought duel with a man owe,
his very same cat's-eye aversion. and
the girl involved in the duel was the
grandmother of young Whipple.
The third act Is back in Kentucky.
and the second trial of the boy has
been completed. The Judge has given

The Liverpool market opened this
morning, as was expected, Ave points
up, ruled narrow throughout the SEES
sion, finally closing at the same fig-

practically unchanged from yesterday
and were quiet all day with a down
ward tendency. finally closing about
ten points down from yesterdays

The market seems to be in a wait
ing attitude for new developments and
will likely rule narrow until after the
issuance Of the governments crop es-

seems to be in fair demand and some
big offerings have been absorbed this
week.
