sleep; your times not up yet"
What's o'clock"
Appleyard mumbled something in
coherent as he stepped out on deck;
and Coast turned over and slept
again.
II seemed hours later when he found
himself abruptly wide awake, in a
tremor of panic anxiety bred of n
fancy that a human voice had cried
out in mortal terror. somewhere
within his hearing He started up, in

Echo had changed radically since the
last time he had fallen asleep; and
It seemed no more than a second from
the moment his eyes opened until
he found himself in the cockpit. gaz-
ing daTedly into the inscrutable
heart of the fog
At first, in his confusion. he could
see nothing amiss. The Echo vas rid
ing on n quiet tide and an even keel
with scarcely any perceptible motion.
The encompasslng darkness was in
tense, unfathomable, profound; only
the forward light showed a dim halo
of yellow opalescence near the mast
head. and the faint glow from the
cabin lamp quivered on slowly swirl
ing convolutions Of dense white va
por, like smoke. The port and star
board lights had been extinguished,
as they should be when a vessel
comes to anchor.
What. then had interrupted his
slumbers?
He turned with a question shaping
on his lips.
Appleyard was nowhere visible.
Coast required some minutes before
he was convinced OF the fact OF the
little mans disappearance. But the
cabin proved as empty as the cock
pit, and the tender was gone.
The cabin chronometer chimed the
hour OF four in the morning
AS the echoes died, as though they
had evoked the genius OF that place,
a strange and dreadful cry rent the
silence, sounding shrill across the wa
ters, yet as if coming from great
distance.

If you wonld laugh, prepare to be amused, for "The Girl in the Taxi" is at last to be seen in this city, al the Auditorium. for an engagement of one night. Wednesday, January 3l
 No other play of the season has been looked forward to with as much inter- est, probably because it's yisit Aas been so long deferred. This tardmesr. however. cannot be blamed cn the piece unless it is to be criticisel for being so good that New York. Chi- cago and Boston held it in their midst fer two entire seasons to the ex"lt- sion of all other cities. America vas compelled to wait two years before The Girl in the Taxi was preseAtel, owing to its phenomenal success in Paris and Berlin, in which two cities tt scored hits and broke all records for attendance and box-office receipts
 It was booked for four weeks in Chi

 The scene shows Roman villa in ali is ancient spleador, during the ''Neronic' period. This scene is faith fully reproduced in accordance with the standard authorities on ancient Roman history both in action and architecture.
 Ancient writers say that il was not uncommon for hosts 10 provide athlet- 4c entertainment for their guests at a5anquets, so this spectacle Is thorough ly consistent with historical teachings
