Captain Cy did not care either He
surmised that MIR. Atkins might prob
ably explain the disappearance. And
yet, oddly enough, this explanation
was not the true one. The Honorable
Heman solemnly assured the captain
that he had not communicated with
Emily's father. He intended to do so
as part of the compact agreed upon
at the hotel, but the man had fed.
And the mystery is still unsolved. The
supposition is that there really was a
wife somewhere In the west. Who or
where she was no Bayporter knows.
Henry Thomas has never come back
to explain.

asked.
Mr.. Peabody's face was now intense

his eye

he said demurely. I'm pretty certain

| All the regulars at the perfect board

reception at the Cy Whitaker place.
None of them. with the exception of
the schoolmistress, had as yet return
| ed. Dinner had been forgotten in the
! excitement of the great day, and Ketu-
! rah and Angeline and Mrs. Trip had
stopped in at various dwellings along
the main road to compare notes on the
captains appearance and the Atkins
address. Asaph and Bailey and AL
pheus Smalley were at Simmons.
Captain Cy knew better than to at
tempt his hurried trip by way Of the
road. He had no desire to be held up
and congratulated. He went across
lots, in the rear of barns and orchards,
wading through drifts and climbing
fences as no sane convalescent should.
But the captain at that moment was
suffering from the form Of insanity
known as the fixed idea. She had done
all this for him-for him. And his last
message to her had been an insult.
He approached the Bangs property
by the stable lane. No one locks doors
in our village, and those of the perfect
boarding house were unfastened. He
entered by way Of the side porch, just
as he had done when Gabe Lumley's
depot wagon first deposited him in
that yard. But now he entered on tip
toe. The dining room was empty. He
peeped into the sitting room. There
by the center table sat Phoebe Dawes,
her elbow on the arm of her chair and
her head resting on her hand.
"Ahem! Phoebe" said Captain Cy.
She started, turned and saw him
standing there. Her eyes were wet,
and there was handkerchief in her
lap.
phoebe" said the captain anxiously,
"have you been cryin'?"
She rose on the instant. A great
wave of red swept over her face. The
handkerchief fell to the floor, and she
stopped and picked it-up.
"Cryingr she repeated confusedly.
"Why, no, of course-of course noti
I-how do you do, Captain Whitaker?

She extended her hand. Captain Cy
reached forward to take 1t. Then he
hesitated.

said-"not until beg your pardon"

his debut at Chase's yesterday. OF course,
it is an animal act in theatrical par
lance. but never before has vaudeville
been enriched by such a superb attrac-
ton. Consul displays all the intelligence
of a human being. He showed what he
could do with the rifle, scorched around
the stage on skates. rode a bicycle with
all the ease of a professional. balancing
a lamp on his head to show he wasn't
nervous. and his table manners were be-

Another sterling feature was the return
OF ToOts Pakas Hawaiians. who re-
Ceived a warm welcome in their Kanaka
folk songs and symbolic native dances.
Bert Levy. the New York cartoOnist

OF heart that comes to the citizens of
that now joyful city. The Piper bids
farewell to the children:
Children-Why?
Piper-There's so much piping left to do.
l must be off and pipe.
Children-Why?
Piper-1 promised-look you-the Lonely
Man.
And as the chastened townsfolk fold
their babies to their breasts and kneel in
thanksgiving hymnal, from the distant
highway come again the fading silvery
notes of the Piper's magic song.
Players and production are in keeping
with the literary and dramatic beauty
of this most remarkable play. Miss
Matthison makes of the Piper the COM
manding stage creation of recent years.
William Raymond and Albert Easdale
give prominence to the small parts of the
Piper's fellow-players. Wilfrid North and
Robert Fisher are noteworthy among the
other masculine actors. and of the adult
feminine roles THAI of Miss Olive Oliver
offers the greatest opportunities, none
of which this most capable actress over
looks. e.Among the children it is difficult
TO pickand choose, but Leonie Flugrath's
performance of Jan, the cripple, was the
most appealing.

who only know Augustus Thomas in his
later manner, with his theories of te-

will hardly recognize this drama OF an
Arizona army post. with its bare, acute,
everyday problems, as a product of the
same pen.
This is in no sense a reflection upon
Alr. Thomas earlier work. ''AriZonl" is
melodrama at its best, for although every
familiar character of both army and
Western plays are assembled, and an
other version of the old combination
seems inevitable, the genius of Thomas
asserts itself. Into his puppets he in

Following the example of FRITZ Scheff

the lighter forms of musical entertain
ment, Mile. Emma Trentini-last heard
here with the Manhattan Grand Opera
COmpany-opened a weeks engagement
in Naughty Marietta" a comic opera
by Victor Herbert, at the National last
evening.
The enthusiastic burst of applause
which greeted the little singer as she ap-
peared from behind the fountain in the
first act showed that Washington remem-
bered with pleasure her rendition of
The Tales of Hoffman" last spring, and
the artistic on her part soon showed that
she had lost not a whit of that vocal
quality which made her famous before
Oscar HammerStein deserted the ranks
of grand opera impresarios. If anything,
Mile. Trentinis voice is too big for the
prese Mt opera, for 1t dominates the music
and swells out beyond the other princi-
pals to a degree seldom heard in the
lighter forms of opera.

ful score, but the book, by Rida Johnson
