purchasing a ticket, entered, the per-
Torrance already having begun.
Keith knew perfectly the arrange
ment OF the theater-the seats In
front; tables all through the center;
O gallery filed with benches; a noisy
orchestra beneath the stage: a crowd
ed audience OF men, with only here
ard there a scattered representative
OF the genuer sex; busy walters dodg-
ing In and out among the tables. and
down the aisles, filling orders for
liquids from the nearby saloon. The
air would be pungept with the odor
of drink. thick with the fumes OF to-
bacco, and noisy with voices. except

dero possessed but one redeeming
ieature--no doorway connected stage
and auditorium, and the management
brooked no interference with his
