as fast as gravity and his great wings
would take him. Drenched with the
sweat of sudden terror, cleaving the
air so fast that the sound of its whin-
Ing rose to scream through his taut
rigging. Down he slanted, seaward
a little, past the end of the great head
land. Then. with the sudden exertion
OF all his strength, upon one lowered
wing. the other flashing high like the
stroke of scimitar, in the curve of
the shortest possible arc, he shot
landward, pounced, checked, and
alighted not far from the girl.
She had been seated upon broken
ledge of rock when he had first caugr'
sight of her. She was in act OF
getting to her feet when he alighted,
Sot a half dozen PAGES away.
She had been pale, but her color
had come back now In a sudden surge.
She was breathing unsteadily and her
hands were clasped against her
breast. "You--you mustn't fly like
that" she said. "If you had been an
eagle, the way you wheeled and came
rushing down out of the sky would
have terrified me. ! shut my eyes in
order not TO see you killed"
He did not answer her at once, and
she, looking intently into his face
went on. you know it was danger.

His eyes followed the direction In
which she had pointed, but could
make out nothing in the deep, vibrant
blue shadows.

1T was probably bear. If 1t was,
we're in luck. I'll come back by and
by and go cunning for him. But first,

1t not more than half consciously. At

and began furling up his wings, and
she helped him, as she had helped
him that other time when he had tried
to convince her that he was not a

BY the time they had reached the

CHAPTER XIV.
Discoveries.

The sunlight Of another crystalline
day had made a path of gold across
the floor and half way up the wall
when Philip reused himself from what
he had intended to make the merest
cat-nap on one of the hunks, and with
difficulty rubbed his eyes open. The
SAVIOUR of something good to eat was
already in his nostrils.
Jeanne, with her back to him, was
bending over the fire, busy with the
breakfast. She heard him stirring,
and looked around.
'Oh, I'm sorry" she said. II didn't
mean to bang that pan down that way, \
1 meant you to go on sleeping for
hours and hours"
Looking fairly at him as he sat
there on the bunk she saw his hands
clutch tightly over the edge of 1t;
saw the color go ebbing out of his
face and then come surging back
again. She had seen him do that once
before.
"Why-what's the matter, Philip"
she asked
TITS Just the wonder OF you," he
said slowly; "of waking up to find you
here, busy about this home of our

very deep asleep"

ter-of-fact infection was a little exag-
gerated It's nearly ready"
When they had finished, and while
they still sat face to face across the
board plank which had served them
for table. Cayley leaned forward
little and, smiling, asked a question.
What's the secret. Jeanne? Your
eyes have been shining with mystery
ever since we sat down here"
She laughed. You're much too PEN
etrating. 1 didn't mean you even to
dream there was a mystery to pene-
trate. But-well, it's time to tell you
now. any way"
She, too, leaned forward little and
shook her head at him with tanta-

ping post has been enlinently eftlca-

Is Delaware singularly free from lar
ceny, petty or grand. In the absence
OF evidence we doubt it. AS matter
OF fact, experts in criminology have
Ong ceased to view punishment from
the proven alive side; they approach
it from the reIormatOry side.
As for the second argument quoted,
il is hard to treat it seriously. The
apologist must certainly have outwit-
ted himself. II Delaware must have
some extraordinary punishment for
stealing, why not provide something
thoroughly effective? Why not whack
off the prisoners hands for the first
offense and punciure his eyes for the
second? That would be just as prac-
tical and in esser degree. just as
justihable.
But the most serious objection to
The whipping pest still remain. We
hinted it in The instances cited above.
There is no means OF calculating the
demoralizing effect o. a public exhlbi-
ton OF hogging. We can on'y esti-
mage it and deplore it. Seed, when
scattered, spring up everywhere. Think
Of the ludicrous contradictions involv-
ed in a state maintaining Society for
the Prevention OF Crue ty to Animals,
and at the same time brutally beating
its own citizens.
The survival OF the whipping-post is,
believe, one reason why Delawareans
have TO face ridicu and scorn There
are others. We concern ourselves with
this one. The iconoclast can always
be charged with touching hairs on gray
heads. But there comes the time even

Chases this week is offering vaude-

with a socialistic problem-wealth VS..
poverty, and weakness VS.. strength.
Mr.. Keenan, as Jim Drab gives force

DOLLY MADISON IS
SET IN A COMEDY
Early Days of National Capital Setting for Play at Co.
umbia-Else Ferguson Portrays Famous White
House Heroine

In this day Of plays with a punch,
of farces guaranteed "uproarious," and
of productions spectacular" the quiet,
ingratiating satire of Charles Nird-
linger's new comedy, Dolly Madison"
constitutes it's chief merit.
If one goes to the Columbia for con-
sistent plot, for "snappy" lines or for
hilarity he probably will be disappoint-
ed. If he is satisfied with occasional
flashes of humOr, reminiscent of the
post st-RevoIutionary days in which the
scenes are laid, and with series Of
interesting. if not always convincing,
character studies, he will find entertain
ment.
The basic idea of Mr.. Nirdlinger's story
is so good, and much of his dialogue
so refreshing, that one must find fault
with him for not making a more uni
formly meritorious work. Even ham,
pered by historic facts he might sun
have evolved plot to carry tne dction it,l
through four acts, and had ne zone tllls
much of this action would not nave
seemed so desultory.
First Act Good.
AS the play stands the first act is de-
lightfuI, but after the scene is shifted
from the parlor of Dolly Todd's board
ing house in Philadelphia to the recep-
ton room of the Presidents house in
Washington interest begins to lag.
The materials should have furnished
higher inspiration. A f1lament OF ro-
nance always has Clung about the
career of Dolly Madison. and no char
acter in American history. perhaps, is
richer in fictional possibilities than
the ill-fated Aaron Burr.
With James Madison. Bohlen Pinck-
ney, and a coterie of more or less
veracious diplomatists on the stage,
and with Thomas Jefferson and
George Washington subjects of much
conversation, the author had held Oh
illimitable opportunities.
He had a capable aide in Miss Elsie

whimsical heroine of early Washing
