The Gates of Silence -
By Meta Smmlns, Author of "Hu5hed Up"

Then. at the oxford street end of Great
Portland street, the taxicab had smashed
into a private landau standing outside a
shop There had been an ugly crash
narrow shave for the driver and lex
himself that had necesstated delay of
quite an hour. Then when, late for his
appointment, he reached Gensing Lodge,
the prince was engaged and he had to
wait, kicking his heels and nursing his
wrath to keep it warm for another cou-
pie of hours.
Not that it had needed artificial stimu-
laton, this hatred against Paul SAKE that
had lain close and hidden in his heart
ever since that day in New York, years
ago now when Saxe-not a great man
himself then, but merely secretary to the
wife of a great man-had surprised him
in his very ingenious and quite profitable
scheme of money making, which had con-
sisted in the occasional and adroit sub
sutuuon - a paste replica among the
stones Of the very valuable jewelry he
was called upon to repair in the great
jewelers. where he was employed.
SAKE had been extraordinarily mag
ma nimous-at price, long. long price.
Wen, that debt would soon be paid.
When the first glmmering possibility
Of this repayment had come to Samuel
JeN, in the mental intoxca ton that had
come upon him, he had sent that mysteri-
Gus message tinkling over the telephone
wires Thou fool. this night thy soul
shall be required of thee" Not that night,
as it had happened, nor for many nights,
had the time for payment come, but Ii
had come now.
And at one time it had seemed to Jex
that Paul SAKE would pay the price with
the long drop and the hangmans moose:
for more than three months he had been
morally certain that Paul SAKE had been,
if not the actual murderer of Pitz-
stephen Al least the instigator of that
murder Subsequent events had weak
ened that belief. Nor was John Riming-
ton, the convicted man, guilty he was
convicted of that-but neither was Paul
SAKE. He had probed and wormed and
watched and spied, and for all that ne
could find Sake, if anything had been a
loser rather than a gamer by the money
lenders death.

Miss Amy Grants Reading Of Mona.

Back to the days Of the Druids and TO
the southwest section of the British Isles
during the Roman occupation in the first
century, a fashionable Washington au-
dience went yesterday afternoon at the
PLAYHOUSE when Miss Amy Grant of
New York gave a reading with piano
score of Mona the new prize opera IN
English written by Prof. Horatio Parker
of Yale. which was presented at the
METROPOLITAN Opera House some months
ago with Nine. Louise Homer and Ricar-
do Martin in the leading roles. Harry
Wheaton Howard was at the piano
BY way of introduction Miss Grant de-
tailed how Mona is a child of the DRUID
dynasty with her heartstrings torn by
the ruthless invasion of her beloved coun-
try by the Roman conqueror. She loves
Gwynn. son of the Roman governor. and
looks longingiy toward the sphere OF Wife
hood and motherhood, but love of coun-
try and home rises supreme She destroys
the lover and as the Romans take her
prisoner she trembles again in the BAL
ance with the knowledge of lost oppor-
tunity and the regret that she is not more
a woman.
The themes of the Wagnerian operas
we're compared for a moment by Miss
Grant to those of Mona" the principal
ones of which she said number about
twenty They are not near SO deep, she
ayerred, as those written by the great
German composer and show timidity on
the part of the American. Hence. she
nonts out, there is need for a deeper
rounding out of the themes Of the Ameri-
can opera and for future American COM
posers to bear this idea in mind.
However, she declared Prof. Parkers
composition is splendid effort as a start
for American opera. and as she continued
through the reading, first taking the role
of Mona, then of Gwynn, then the Roman
governor and finally a Druid priest, one
could have heard pin drop, so closely
did the audience follow her effort.
