The double column that followed
was detailed gloriflcation of Michael
Denis Finigan and his great coup.
According to the paper. a few min.
utes after Finigan had gone on his
beat the previous night, having re.
lieyed Officer Jack O'Brien. he had
made the discovery that the rear door
of the Hill mansion was open, and
noiselessly entering the building had
surprised ten housebreakers, collected
in the dining room about a basket OF
wine.
Covering the men with his revolver
and pressing the electric burglar
alarm. he had held the entire party at
bay till relief arrived, when the ten
men were handcuffed and taken to the
station. Only one shot had been fred,
which Finigan had been forced to ex.
pend on the legs of one of the house
breakers, who had objected to his
capture.
The paper went on to state that
grimly amusing fact had subsequently
come to light. The housebreakers had
effected their entrance to the Hill
mansion In parties of two, without the
slightest suspicion that they had been
preceded or were to be followed by
others on like mission.
Imagine their northumberland

that the same night had been chosen

only few minutes before.
Would you notice it," murmured
O'Brien. "1'll just lay by bit and
wait till they fetch the piano wagon"
He now removed his helmet and
laughed softly into it. Its the boys

Mike win be waiting for me at the
box. Twill be the laugh on him and
a warm bed for Jack O'Brien."
Shaking few leaves and twigs
from his cape he started down the
road at his accustomed pace. The
sound of laughter now came from the
Hill mansion. and peering over the
stone wall through an opening in the
hedge he saw two more shadows steal
across the lawn and disappear through
the open door at the rear of the
house.
O'Brien wiped broad grin from his
face. "The boys will know me better
after this night" he said. But I'm
right sorry for Finigan! He'd better

Finigan winked, licked his lips, and
with a grin turned to patrol his beat,
while O'Brien moved of toward the
station. Here he caught the last cleo
trio and soon was relieved oi all du>
ties by Capt Sleep.
At his ten o'clock breakfast the
next day O'Brien opened the morning

"If a man has only a straw hat, a
pair of thin trousers, cheerfulness and
ambition, no will get along all right"
laughed Louis James, the actor, who
appeared last week at the Mason opera
house.
Just how he reached the straw hat
stage in the interview is a puzzle. A
Shakespeare a continuous grand opera
of song and was handling Ibsen with
out gloves. 1t is a long stretch from
tragedy to wearing apparel, but James
made it without much effort.
As a matter of fact the man who has
Just abandoned "Peer Gynt' proved to
be a master Of sleight- conVer-
sation during an hour of pleasant COM
munication. In reply to query he
frankly confessed he abandoned 1bsen
because his plays are becoming OBJ
solete. He measured peer Gynt" with
the box office, and freely declared that
Ibsen meant nothing moro than dol
lars to him.
ST neither was in sympathy nor har-
mony with the play" said Mr.. James
"Ibsen means nothing to me. / never
read him and never saw one OF his
plays, / did not understand him, and
[ do not believe anyone else does 1b-
sen was a novelty only. His plays are
disconnected and uninteresting outside
of action on the stage. Still the people
came to see the play produced, filled
the houses and sat out the play to the
last curtain.
But the play is not a repeater. After
people have seen it once they do not
go again. So I have slowed the two
carloads of scenery we used, on my
summer place at Monmouth Beach to
await the last trumpet, I guess.
Gives Shakespeare Passing Notice
"But I am giving Shakespeare only
passing notice. 1t now seems this class
of production has a black eye.' Mantell
and myself are the only ones doing 1t
entirely.
But the public doesn't want Shake
speare. They want the follies of nine
teen hundred and something. Pretty
girls, beautiful gowns and comedy are
in demand. We must give the public
what they want. They refuse nostrums
and demand the sweets.

it is music; it is like a song, but one

that commonplace remark that one
must be born to these works in order
to interpret them.

"You do not resemble senility," was
suggested. =
Mr.. James laughed. Drawing up his
arm he submitted the bicep to the
hand of the interviewer. 1t had much
the hardness of marble.

hours for sleep, cheerfulness, seeking
young company, these are my remedies

God hope and strive to accomplish,
namely, to overcome evil.
The victory over evil is never gained
unless one goes contrary to the sug-
gestion of evil. What is temptation
but the suggestion that wrongdoing
brings pleasure or profit? If one agrees
with evil and continues to do so, he
cannot gain his freedom. The only way
of escape is to deny every suggestion
of evil 1t is only to the extent that
evil is believed to be true that it ap-
pears real and seems to have power.
When an error is recognized as such
it is no longer accepted as a reality
and the power it once seemed to have
is lost. All moral progress is the re-
suit of resisting evil suggestions. CHRIS
tian Science teaches how this can be
done in an intelligent and etfectual
manner. 1t teaches that good alone Is
real, hence the only power. Evil is but
false claim and only seems to be
real and have power when it is believed
to be true. There is a reason for deny
ing the sreality and power of evil and
that reason is that God is infinite good.
That which is infinite is all. God is
omnipotence, all power, and there can
be no power apart from Him. 1t is the
privilege of every one to apply this
teaching of Christian Science in his
own effort to overcome evil and so find
in his own experience the proof that an
enlightened spiritual understanding is
more effectual than a blind faith in
good which admits the reality of evil.
