CHAPTER XVII.
Who Is Nina Darlington?

WHO NINA
The four days, from Saturday to the
following Tuesday, we lived, or ex-
listed, in a state Of the most dreadful
suspense. We ate only when Liddy
brought in a tray, and then very little.
The papers, of course, had got hold
Of the story, and We were besieged by
newspaper men. From all over the
country false clews came pouring in
and raised hopes that crumbled again
to nothing. Every morgue within 100
miles, every hospital, had been Wis
tied, without result
The inaction was deadly. Liddy
cried alp day, and. because she knew

around the corner.

were, we were sitting together weep

haired man, trimming borders near

Every man who cuts grass isn't a

is our policy to believe every person

to be the other thing"

pany must have been sleeping with the
windows open lately; some others never
had any voices for the draft to spoil
And with an orchestra sometimes play
ing too fast and sometimes playing TOO
slow, and hardly ever just right, things
did not go as they should for the FL
Paso performance of this medley of
music, pictures, girls, tights, and nom
sense.
The company carries a splendid look
ing chorus, well voiced, but lacking in
training and direction, and some of the
features Of the performance were excel
lent, but on the whole the show was not
what was expected. But for Miss Gene
ieve DeLaCOur and Gus Pixley, who
joined the company in Ell Paso, the per-

can of brewery product two days old
These two performers saved the day
Cor EVENING" and the theatergoers left
with feeling somewhat akin to salts
faction, for, while the show could not
be said TO be good, it was not bad.
PiXley was either in bad voice from a
cold or has lost his voice from age, one
or the other, but still he got a good
deal out of the several parts which he
essayed and caused "a great deal of
merrment at times.
Miss DeLaCour received a hearty re-
ception when she made her first an
pearance and her friends and admirers
were not bit disappointed as her work
progressed. She is very clever and
just as cute as she can be in the role
of Jane, the principal one in the cast
She has made good from the jump, and
will do great deal towards saving the
show She received three handsome
bouquets from friends and got six or
seven encores on her comedy duet with
Pixley last night.
Pixley's baseball game, assisted by
Leon Mayor and Miss DeLaCour was a
scream from start TO finish, and the
