CHAPTER XIV.
A Visit from Louise,

WISH from Louise.
That day was destined to be an
eventful one, for when l entered the
house and found Eliza ensconsed in
the upper hall on chair, with Mary
Anne doing her best to stifle her with
household ammonia, and Liddy rub
bling her wrists-whatever good that
is supposed to dol knew that the
ghost had been walking again, and
this time in daylight.
Eliza was in q frenzy of fear. She
clutched at my sleeve when / went
close to her, and refused to let go
until she had told her story. Coming
just after the fire, the household was
demoralized, and 1t was no surprise
to me to find Alex and the under
gardener struggling downstairs with
a heavy trunk between them.
II didn't want to do it, Miss Innes,"
Alex said. "But she was so excited I
was afraid she would do as she said

the staircase"
j was trying to get my bonnet off
and to keep the maids quiet at the
same time. Nov, Eliza, when you
have washed your face and stopped
bawling," said, come into my sitting
room and tell me what has happened"
Liddy put away my things without
speaking. The very set of her shoul
ders expressed disapproval.

be warming up"

Beware the Doul

A family moved from the city to a
suburban locality and were told that
they should get watchdog to guard
the premises at night. So they bought
the largest dog that was for sale in

afterward the, house was entered by
burglars, who made good haul, while

sALTLAKE THEATRE.

David BeIasco viii present Frances
starr in THE Easiest Way" the re-
markable play by Eugene Walter, the
author OF paid in Full" and THE
Wolf" at the salt Lake theatre. for
three nights. commencing Thursday,
October s, with a Saturday matinee.
That this will be one of the red letter
events OF the season can hardly be
questioned. The combination of such
Virile writer as Eugene Walter; such
master in all that pertains TO the art
OF stage production as David Belaseo,
and such an excellent artist as Miss
Starr, should mean much TO theatre
goers.
"The Easiest Way" was played for
over a year at Mr.. BelascOs theatre in
New York. The New York company
and the elaborate and beautiful scenic
equipment viii be Identical here with
that provided by Mr.. BelascO for the
long run in New York. Naturally,
throughout the play interest is very
largely centered in Miss starr. She as
sumeS the role OF Laura Murdoch, a
representative of that large class of
women in New York and other large
cities who love ease and pleasure above
all else, and are prepared TO sacrifice
everything that they may live in lux
ury.
But Laura Murdoch is different in
that when the play opens she feels that
an opportunity has come 70 leave her
life or pleasure for one of married and
respectable happiness. She has met
real man who is anxious to marry her
II she Will break with her past, live an
honest lie, waiting until he has money
enough to begin life anew. There is
another man, whose mistress she has
been, and he is made aware or the
circumstances, but Is skeptical OF her
reform. From this point on the play
tells the story of the woman's struggle,
in the face of poverty and temptation,
to return 10 a life OF respectability
The story OF the play is of engrossing
N I'LL It'll
OF The Easiest Way" is its directness
and truth in dealing with a certain
phase OF New York life.
The faithfulness Of the picture drawn
by Mr.. Walter is made the more en-
phatic by the realism of the scenes
which David Belasoo has constructed
Tor the setting of the story. AS is his
manner, Mr.. Belasco, under whose per-
sOnal direction THE Easiest Way" was
produced, has laYished upon each scene
and situation the ripe knowledge OF
Stageoraft for which he has been so
long famous. Intensely dramatic as
The Easiest Way is, there is still an
abundance Of genuine humor in many
of the scenes. The first act reveals an
exterior OF poetic beauty, literal
transcript OF the glories of the Ute
pass in Colorado. The second act IS a
realistic picture of the interior of a
type frequented by the hard-luck mem
bers OF the thea trical profession in
New York. The third and fourth acts
show the interior OF an expensive
apartment in a New York hotel So
remarkable a play calls for acting far
above the average. and the interpreta-
ton given the leading role by Miss
Starr ranks among the notable crea-
tiOns OF recent stage history. The COM
pany provided by Mr.. Belasco for Miss
STAIRS support includes Joseph Kill
gour, Edward H. Robins, John p.
Drawn, Louise Randolph and Violet
Rand.

ORPHEUM THEATRE.

The Orpheum for the week begin

for the first time here a real grand
opera company in vaudeville. The
tWO-a-day stage has had plenty or
small musical acts, but never one OF
this character and magnitude, as "Ihe
operate Festival is an organization
composed of fifteen sOlOists. These
men and women have all sung in grand
opera companies, and their union in an
act of this magnitude Indicates the ire
mendous development Of vaudeville.
Two operas will be given, "Gypsy Life"
and 'aThe Carnival OF Venice" both
with complete sets OF scenery and
full complement OF costumes light eI-
fects and all the needful accessories,
making the offering one OF distinct
novelty and unusual worth.
A second big feature of this bill will
be 'The Police Inspector" the joint
work Of Clay NJ. Greene and Harrison
Armstrong. In this some Of the secrets
are revealed. The act is well written,
tense. thrilling, and rehearses the
methods OF a police inspector hot on
the trail OF a murderer. II IS enliVened
by humOr furnished by an Irish scrub
woman, a role played, by the way, by
Johnny Williams, a well-knOWn former
Salt Laker.
Another excellent number will be
furnished by Lou Anger, who, IN artis-
tically correct makeup and costume as
German soldier OF American affilia-
tions, gives a monOlOgue in a broken
German that is described as irresist
IDLY funny. The act is said 20 be very
clever, and the mingling of nonsense
and satire have proved popular else
where with OFpheum audiences.

steal fantasy, Will be seen at the Co.
lOnial all this week. This piece is in
the very latest style, and is an en-
tertainment of the highest class. The
foundation OF il is a farce, full OF COM
plications and ludicrous predicaments
To this is added a dozen songs of the
popular style, and a chorus OF ele-
gantly gowned women, who can sing
and dance, and who are pretty and

stage for many years as one OF the
brightest and cleverest singers and
dancers, and he has a style and man
