During the period of almost six years

has never been closed a single day,
summer or winter General Manager
Lyman B. Glover, who has charge Of
the Majestic and of the other big Kohl

great satisfaction that three of these
houses-the Majestic, Chicago opera
house, and Olympic-are running stead
lily along through the heated season.
although nearly all the other down
town theatres are closed This IS
something OF a feather in the cap of
the management, particularly In view
of the fact that the past theatrical sea-
son has been about the worst in the
history of modern theatricals. Our
says Manager Glover, have
not been dark for a single night. We
have had no disappointments, but an
run of excellent attrac-
lions, and here we are with all but two

next Friday night. Beginning late
in the spring and encountering al
most from the very first the sever

this play has been a remarkable one
and it is most emphatically evident
that its great success is due to the
delightful quality of the play and
the excellence of the company. Miss
Jean Murdoch. the beautiful Chi
cago girl who has been engaged by
Daniel Frohman as Leading woman
for the CHARLES Cherry company. has
made q success that is little less
than wonderful in the estimation of
theatrical managers and has also
found great favor with the public.
She has shown such exceptional his
trionic ability in the important role
of "Mici" that there is no question
about her having brilliant future
ahead of her. All the leading news
papers, especially in the east, have
already given her the distinction of
being a stage beauty, but her mana
ger, Daniel Frohman, credits her
with far more substantial merit than
that He is so confident Of her abil-

CHAPTER L

vt was shortly after 8 O'Clock
when a brisk young man stepped
out of a taxtcab into the dim
4 crevice of Broad street, followed
by a huge negro bearing a suit case.
Nestled back amid a number of alleged
brokers, who dealt hilariously in such
securities as Wireless Motor pre-
ferred, he found the Offices of Henry
GaIleon s. Co., enc Of the few legit-
innate firms which, intrenched in their
own natural conservattveness, had re-
fused to move when the curb invasion
came.
"Mr GaIleonT' inquired the new
conner.
Upon what business, pIease?' asked
an old clerk
81 only care TO talk to Mr.. Galleon
himself"
The Old man arose with slight. pro-
testing Zfown.- asked for card and
took II into an inner room.
Henry Galleon was about the same
age as his secretary but he was erect.
His face and his bald head were pink
with baby's pinkness, his white hair
giistened Ike silk, and the brightness
of his eyes was almost fnfantile.
Phillip Kelvin?" be said who's
Phillip Kelvin? ] never heard Of him"
81 don't know" replied the secretary.
Hes a very capable looking young
man and by no means New Yorker.
l should think. lie has tremendous
" large negro with him, the largest
one I ever saw. The negro Is carry
ing a big suit case"
Henry Galleon pondered that matter
quietly. Fanatics with bombs had
menaced the Wall street district Of
late. and they might come In any guise.
'-Find out his business, Messmer,"
was tie sane conclusion.
ct did ask. but he insisted on seeing
you personally"
Galleon frowned IF he can't ex-
plain properly to you, let him 90. You
are authorized TO transact all neces-
sary business In my name"
Messmer went out with that mes
sage. though he softened # somewhat.
Young Kelvin had evidently expected
such IN answer, for he smiled and
turned to the negro.
'Here, Sam" he directed. put the
case on this desk"
Messmer frowned as the suit case

AS soon as he had gone Galleon turn

was that?" he demanded.

ago"
WAS he there for his heaIth?" asked
Galleon.
"I don't think So" replied Rensselaer,,
with a chuckle. "As 1 remember him

but that was about all he possessed.

there never was a finer fellow on earth

"He looks like that" said GalIeon.
smiling.
"Only more So" returned Rensselaer,
"Out there he was buIlheaded about
everything he started after-tttle
