Dear MAZE:
Mabelle Smythe and me we saw the
swell show last night when we went to
1.-The Love Route at the Majestic last
night It was great. I'm just perfectly
crazy about it, And I'm perfectly crazy
about OrvaI Spurrier, too, although
Maybelle she says that E. Ferguson is
awfully cute. But you out to have
seen Mr.. Spurrier as John Ashby."
Oh he was Just splendid. He certainly
made a, hit with me. And Mr. Dennis
who took the part of major Stuart
Polk" the old southerner was just
dear. Mr. Dennis also appeared as
Charley. You see he was two persons
in the play. A. Ferguson was just
dandy as bill Bell Mr.. North he
acted the part of Janus Happington'
so realistically that I just hated hiE7
for being a mean old railroad presi-
dent. He was en- passe. Oh mon ami

That Mr.. Carver which Mr.. Herring
played. was so funny. He jumped
every time any one spoke to him.
And the woman wore some awfuily
swell dresses. Miss Russell who was
Miss Allene Houston" the heroine,
had one awfully swell dress in the first
act And you just ought to have seen
that cowboy costume she wore in the
other acts. 1t was so fetching Miss

and looked too sweet for anything

Til 4 ~.
At the Majestic,

Probably one of the best bill which
has been put on by the North Bros
stock company at the Majestic this
season is 1.-THE Love Route" which
opened to crowded house last night.
The play is story of love, pride, am
bition and duty. An engineer starts to
build a railroad across ranch inner
tied by a girl in Texas. She objects,
partly because of the wishes of her
father. now dead. The civil engineer
tween the railroad men and the cow
boys which ensues he is wounded and
the girl, because of her love for him,
sees that the road is built. 1t is full
of good situations and runs the proven
bal gamut of human emotions. The
play is well presented by the company.
Individually each part is well taken
and, to use a, baseball term, the COM
pany is also strong on team work. "
The cast follows:
Mr.. John Ashby, Mr.. Orval Spur
rier; Mr. Janus Happington, Mr..
North; Mr. Carver, Mr.. Herring; Mr..
Clever Topham, Mr.. Dennis; Major
Stuart Polk Mr.. Hilliard Herr Hen

ed to make his guess in perfect good
faith.
Many of the veterans said thew re-
membered how many stars there were
in the flag at the time Of the memoir
able conflict. but they had somehow
lost track since being mustered out.
One old soldier said he knew there
we're Al stars in the flag some time
ago. But" he said. I don't know
how many there are now since we've
taken in Cuba"
OF the IL different re-
ceived, nine veterans said they
thought there were As stars in the flag
now. Among the men who favored
this number was the retiring depart
ment commander of the G. A. R. The
other answers went like this: Six
were for 4S stars, three for Al, three
for 46, two for 40, two for AZ, n for
40, and one each for 80. 80, SO, 50
and So.

1t is important to know that the lies

resumed her position as she realized
her safety.
A man was digging in the garden
below.
Surprise, Indignation. joy were min
gied in the expression of Delicia's
eyes-indignation that anyone dared
to enter what she had grown to con-
slider her own, and joy hat the old
garden was at last coming into it's
own. for the man below was working
like a happy slave over paths and
vines and rose trees.
Delicia made her cup OF tea slowly
and thoughtfully while she cast oc-
c%asional glances into the garden or
rather at the man in the garden. That
he was big and we'll knit was easily
seen and that his head was crowned
with gold was equally apparent but
his features were not discernible.
Has some horrible person bought
the placer" was the question upper
most in Delicia's mind. She cast an
other glance through the vines. He
isn't so horrible, at that" she confid-
ed to herself with a sparkle in her
eyes. Anyway, shall just wait and
see. He can't any more than put me
out"
But Martin Duane did not dispos-
sess Delicia. And as the weeks wore
on he apparently did not once become
conscious Of the pair of gray eyes
that followed him in his work about
the garden.

Delicia's work. Up in the pink den

Wide Guesses Made by Veterans Who
Had Fought Under lido
You Known

At a recent state encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic a news
paper in the city where the meeting
was held decided to find out the vet
erans' ideas as to the number of stars
which should be in the United States
flag at the present time. The results
of the papers endeavors were interest
ing. Thirty-one veterans were ques-
toned and - different answers were
received. The veterans guesses ranged
all the way from 80 to 80.
One soldier, whose answer was not
counted as it vas palpably wrong,
said that there were u stars at the
present time IN our flag. This soldier
had served in a large number of fights
in his four years in the United States
army in the Civil wal and had been
attending encampments regularly since
they had been inaugurated. He saom-

and succeeded In getting past the ar
gus-eyed conductor safely. When he
set foot in Denver he sighed a sigh OF
Joy at having saved so much money.
Not only I'm l ahead of the game to
the amount of the fare to Denver" he
said to himself, but l saved the sleep
er fare. which is several bucks to the
good"
Then he went out and purchased a
ticket to Salt Lake. This cost him SIS
and he groaned in spirit but paid.
When he arrived in Salt Lake and
transacted his business he went to the
station to buy his return ticket to st.
Joe.
One ticket to st. Joe.' said he.
The clerk made 1t out. stamped 1t
and threw 1t before him.
Thirty dollars, please"
What" gasped Percy. Why. the
round trip fare is only S30.50."
Sure" was the response. That's
the summer tourist rate, just SO cents
higher than the one way"
Percy paid. Then he went back to
his hotel and figured 1t out:
