At High School

Manager Walter Roth OF the senior
class play yesterday got out the tick
cts for the biggest single event of
the school year. A thousand tickets
were struck off and il is expected that
almost all of these will be sold at the
general admission price of - cents.
An innovation in the landing of the
play is being instituted by Manager
Roth IN that 225 seats are TO be reserv-
ed at a Increased price so those who
care to may come late and stin be as
sured of a good seat. II is expected
that the innovation will be popular, as
heretofore it has been necessary for
one to arrive almost half an hour be-
fore the play began or be compelled
to stand throughout the performance
An attractive poster announcing
the entertainment has been prepared
and is being distributed this after
noon. It is gotten up in the class col
Ors OF black and gold, and makes
neat advertisement The preparation
of the scenery of the production was
set back yesterday by a deplorable
accident when the opening of a door
knocked down one of the scenes
which had been mounted for the paint
CT and required the making of another
new scene. The fact that the enter
tainmcnt is scheduled for a date over
two weeks off, however, will make it
possible to get the scenery in readi-
ness by that time. The play, Gold
smiths She Stops to Conquer" re
quires three different settings, which
will more than fill the small stage of
the auditorium, and will be a problem
for the stage hands.
The rehearsal of the play under the
direction of Miss Iva Pearce of Au-
gustana is progressing well, and the
whole cast is improving. Especial at
tention is being given 10 the inn scene,
one Of the most difficult of the play,
and Miss Pearce is more than pleased

ed an important part in the religious
rites Of the people. In fact it was
IN that country that dancing was
first recognized as an art. So It IS
fitting that so unusual an artist as
Ruth ST Denis should recreate those
dances and bring them once more to
the world. The dances which she has
conceived are said to be as unusual
in theme and powerful in appeal as
were the Hindu numbers in which
she first appeared. From scenic
standpoint these dances are said 20
be the most elaborate ever placed
upon the stage in this country. The
new Egyptian dances, as well as the
Hindu numbers. will be included in
the program when Henry B. Harris

CHAPTER XIV.

Life at the Office went on much the
way it had always gone.
In spite of their high resolve, there
was a very measurable degree of the
furtive In their meetings. In essence,
these meetings were stolen. They did
not ride out braZenly together in the
face of the world. On the contrary,
they met always unobserved, she rid
ing across the many-gated backroad
from Berkeley to meet him halfway.
Nor did they ride on any save unfre-
quented roads, preferring to cross the
second range of hills and travel among
a church-going farmer folk who would
scarcely have recognized even Day
light from his newspaper photographs.
He found Dede a good horsewoman-
good rot merely In riding, but In en-
durance. There were days when they
covered sixty, seventy. and even
eighty miles; nor did Dede ever claim
any day too long. nor-another strong
recommendation to Daylight-did the
hardest day ever see the slightest
chafe of the chestnut sorrel's back.
"a sure enough hummer" was Day
lights stereotyped but ever enthusiast
tic verdict to himself.
His lifelong fear of woman had orig
mated out of Misunderstanding and
had also prevented him from reaching
any understanding. Dede on horse
back, Dede gathering peoples on a
summer hillside, Dede taking down
dictation in her swift shorthand
strokes-au this was comprehensive
to him. But he did not know the
Dede who so quickly changed from
mood to mood, the Dede who refused
steadfastly to ride with him and then
suddenly consented, the Dede In
whose eyes the golden glow forever
waxed and waned and whispered
hints and messages that were not for
his ears. In all such things he saw
the glimmering profundities Of sex,
acknowledged their lure, and accept
ed them as incomprehensible
But through it all ran the golden
thread Of love. At first he had been
content just to ride with Dede and to
be on comradely terms with her; but
the desire and the need for her in
creased. The more he knew Of her,
the higher was his appraisal. Had
she been reserved and naughty with

linking of what you mean by making
thing. I made Ophir, and she was a
hummer"
And you won something there that
was more than mere money" Dede
encouraged. Nov do you know what
I would do if I had lots of money
and simply had to go On playing at
business? Take all the southerly and
westerly slope of these bare hills. I'd
buy them in and plant eucalyptus on
them. I'd do 1t for the joy of doing it
anyway; but suppose I had that gam
