institution of American life. In the
country district its coming is eagerly
looked forward to as the one crown
ing event of the summer, and its tent
ed fields is the mecca to which ptl-
grims come from near and far. And
yet the inner life of a circus is as little
known to those who bask in its tinsel
glitter and it's tawdry pomp as the
ancient life of the Etruscans might oe.
Margaret Mayo's tender little play,
Polly of the Circus" permits a
glimpse into the penetralia of the cir
Gus. 1t is true that the glimpse is
through window whose panes are
rose tinted with romance but the at
mosphere of the sawdust ring and the
dressing tent is so well produced, and
her clever coadjutor, Frederic Thomp-
son, wizard of stagecraft and effects.
that the romance and the sentiments
seem real and grateful.
The contrast between the life of the
circus where Polly has grown to girl
hood unspoiled in character, but total
ly undeveloped save in her profession.
and the quiet. cultured life of the
young minister's household serves to
accentuate the effect. The playwright,
too, has known how to make use of tho
narrow Puritanism Of the villagers and
their bitter prejudice. the more STUN
born because of the Ignorance from
which 1t springs, as an effective back
ground to a story. How the love of
Polly and the parsen grew, how it led
each other into the path of betterment.
how the accusing voice of scandal
came to interrupt and separate the
twain, how Polly went back to the cir
Gus with sacrificial intent, and how the
parson found her there and declared
his love-these are the items in pref
ty, conventional story. Tho reunion CT
the pair in the full glare of the circus
ring Is sufficiently dramatic to satiate
the theatregoer's desire for thrills and
sufficiently poetic to please those who
believe true love should ever be trium-
plant and happy when the final curtain
falls. Not a little interest centers a.
the final emergence from her childish
chrysalis of Ida st. Leon and her
treatment of the role which. while
calling for youth. still makes no small
emotional demand. 1t is known that
Miss Ida st. Leon has youth and the
tradition of a stage bred family be-
hind her. This play win be seen a.

When brought to the station, both

the fisherman being the worse bruised

However, they seemed to have no de-

joking about the matter on their way
upstairs with the turnkey.
No decision was rendered in the
bout, and the recorder will, perhaps,
attend to that detail this morning.

Two persons made their way toward

Simultaneously two voices reached
the chauffeur's ears; feminine voice
on the right side and a masculine one
from the left.
The chauffeur looked from one to
the other applicant
Guess you will have to toss for It,"
he said good naturally.

the girl hurriedly. II absolutely must
catch the 6:14 train"
"And I am equally in a hurry"
said the man.
"Well, there's rom inside for two."
suggested the chauffeur as he began
to take his seat.
The girl and the man looked across
the machine at each other with ex-
pressionless faces.
"Since there Is no other way--it
will have to do" Harmony Weller
stepped into the taxi.
II suppose 1t WILL" said David
Green as he entered from the other
aide. He seated himself without ap-
parently seeing the wicker suit case
that acted as barrier on the wide
seat
The short trip to the station was
made In absolute silence. The girl
sat straight and looked out the cab
window SO that all Green saw of her
face was the firm line of her profile.
When the taxi whirled into the sta
ton, David Green watched the girl
lean forward and examine the regis
ter OF fares. Then he saw her ex-
tract a half dollar. The face regio-
tered 60 cents and Green realized
that his companion intended to pay
half the amount. Under the circum-
stances, he felt that she was taking
the right course and he remained pas
sive not attempting in any way to
break the silence.
The man and the girl stepped from
the taxi on opposite sides and each
handed the chauffeur a half dollar.

Green sprang swiftly for his suit

walked quickly until he was only a
few steps behind the girl. A few mo-

inn from opposite sides of the
veranda.

he said.

and fed to the moonlight veranda.

He got the key none TOO soon. The

he had seen Harmony Weller make

David's heart responded to its ap-

come from the dark end Of the hotel
veranda. David went back up the
steps three at a time and took Har-

wisdom were well matched. One day a
vain young woman, who had exagger-
ated ideas of her own charms, told
him she feared that she had a be-
setting sin.
And what is IT." asked Father
Healy, his shrewd eyes having dis
oerned that his neighbor at dinner
wished to be questioned.

nurely cast down. Every time pass

be made, may easily escape detection.
II this place is scratched, the sheep
will respond by = nibbling-like mo-
ton of the mouth. Large patches are
formed either by small infected spots
located on different parts OF the back
growing and uniting, or by the gradual
enlargement Of single spot. In OBJ
tanning their food, the parasites in
these patches irritate the skin of the
sheep to such an extent as to cause
the secretion Of a large amount of
serum which, in drying, first takes
on the form Of dandruff, and upon
extended irritation the dandruff is re.
placed by thick scabs. Where the
scabs first form, the wool seems to be
more firmly attached to the skin than
before infection, and stands out in
tufts, giving the fleece an uneven
appearance. In time, however, being
deprived OF nutrition, the wool loosens
and drops from the skin: the sheep
loses flesh and presents, on the whole,
very uncanny appearance; and
eventually, II untreated, dies. Proper
treatment will however, destroy the

the wool.
