.ambardi company artists. His acting
was good. His presence on the stage
was marked by gracious dignity, repose
and polse.
Mime. Bosettl. who sang Friday night
as Carmen. was in the role OF Leonora,
and gave a good account Of herself. much
better than vas expected. when knowing
that she had sung a wearing role the
night before, Her voice was not warm,
but was strong in the latter scenes Of
the opera. Her duet with Manrico in the
first scene OF the last act was superla-
lively fine and had TO be repeated. Her
tones are not sweet. but cut and thrill.
Her voice rasped at times with cramping
consonants.
signor salazsr. as Manrieo. was In fine
voice. He has been heard several times
during the Lambardl engagement. but In
no other role has he done such brilliant
work. His acting. which .ls not OF a
high order. was great Improvement
over other histrionlo examples he has
given us. His voice was full, possessed
OF equalized tones free from slurs. warm
and rich. He was thoroughly enjoyed.
The staging Of the opera was In keep
ing with the standard set in the other
operas OF the week. The chorus work was
not what It should be in an opera like
I'll Trovatore." where there is muoh
ensemble singing. The anvil song was
spoiled. voesily, by the indifferent singing
OF the chorus. ..-.f
In the afternoon Lucia was repeated
with Nine Levy In the title role and
with Signor Antola as Ashton and Slgnor
Albiach as Edgar. Signor Antola did
not sing in the first presentation OF this
opera. Nine. Levy was not In as good
voice as before. though her singing Of
the ford, pyrotechnlc class, brought out
extended applause.

ratio concert at o'clock this afternoon

Musketeers Attract
Another Big Crowd

For the second time the Ak-sar-Ben
players in The Jolly Musketeer' won
the plaudIts OF an audience at the
Brandeis theater last night. Another large
crowd, witnessed the performance. many
coming to see It second time. The
chorus and soloists were in better forms
than on the preceding night and were
generously encored Flower girls were as
numerous and flowers were carried in as
much profusion and favorite players were
rewarded as literally with boouets as on
the opening night At the close Of the
performance the audience expressed Its
appreciation Of such unusual amateur
talent in continued cheering. The players
got all the comedy and drama and pathos
out Of The jolly Musketeer" that was
put into 1t by the author, and demon
strated concllIsively that Omaha can stage
a play as well and as successfully as the
most able promoters. Also It gave warn
ing to the subjects OF Ak-sar-Ben that
unaniminity held the kingdom Of Quirera
always In loyal obedience and support.

had done-to beat these fellows-to win their
money and get away with it.
From the first, fortune seemed to favor him,
and while the cattle men were apparently siz-
ing up his game and exchanging opinions
about it among themselves by means of
shrugs and lifted eyebrows. Jimmy was taking
in more than his share of the pots, 50 that he
soon had quite pile of cash in front of him.
You play two pairs pretty strong, " re-
marked Fatty, when Jimmy had called him,
in spite OF Fatty's two-card draw after raise.
"Whcn | think I've got the best hand, III
play it as long as I've any chips left, was
Jimmy's reply, which made Chippy Heinz
actually laugh until he showed the points of
four teeth The sentiment seemed to strike
his fancy.
Not long after that, Jimmy went into pot
with pair Of queens, four men drawing cards
against him. He held up a seven with the
pair, simply because it had come in be-
tween and he had heard that all first-class
gamblers had a superstition to the effect that,
if YOU caught small card between two type

the length Of theHeabin, Nothing that Tommy
Atkins could say being OF any avail to turn
Jimmy from his purpose, the two friends
agreed that they would both sit in and play if
either one was asked to do 50, so that il would
not be quite So lonely for Jimmy when he took
the fatal plunge The more Tommy Atkins
looked at the men who made up that game,
the less be liked the idea Of il, and the more
insistent he became that there would be
trouble
They hadpot long to wait for an invitation
to play, their interest in the game being very
apparent Tommy Atkins, although usually
very fair poker player, handled his cards
with fear and trembling, and soon lost as
much as he could afford in dolar-ante game
with apparently no limit so he fell out and
contented himself with watching the tide of
fortune surge around Jimmy,
Instead Of sharing the e-drummer's bad
luck, or want Of nerve, once Jimmy Burke got
over the peculiar initial sensation of being
hurried along by the rapidity OF the play, he
seemed to settle down to business with as
much self possession as if he were In his usual
place in the back room of the little hotel in
Helena among his friends, playing five-cent
limit
Jimmy was pretty sharp and had good eyes
for what went on around him He met the
bloodless gaze OF the other players with look
that showed he was not afraid of them or their
cards, and at the same time he did not fail to
catch the rapid exchange OF glances that
passed between the men at the table; the
momentary hesitation in the dealing of
card, or the slow stacking of the chips after
Jimmy had made bet
Having had no previous warning that the
game was SO steep as dollar ante and no
limit, Jimmy felt that his small capital would
soon disappear if he had any bad luck, but he
did not fall into the usual error Of the non
professional and try TO play close He stood
right up to the cards they dealt him, and
PLAYED them for all they were worth SO that
no one at the table could tell whether he held
a bobtail or a full
No matter how soon they might clean him
out, he could still say that he had sat in the
fatal game and played until he was broke.
Tommy Atkins was there as a witness to that.
But what he had longed and hoped for was
that he might be able to do what no other man

asked him about il and he Just laughed it of,
and wanted To know what she had heard
about the game OF course she FASTENED to
retail all the terrible things she had been told
OF that had happened to men who had ven
tured 10 sit in that game during the past
twenty wears: but SO far from being appalled,
by the recital. he seemed To drink il all in just
as boy will drink in the most minute partiou-
lars OF the habits OF wild animals that he
hopes to 90 hunting for some day.
They say those fellows viii Ne down on
the Natchez Saturday" he remarked, when
she paused for moment, having apparently
reached the end of her stock Of terrors.
How do you know" she dema dtd
quickly
why, Tommy Atkins, the shoe drummer,
is coming down on her, answered Jimmy
carelessly. He telegraphed from st. Louis
TO the store TO save him some orders and he
added three words to fill out the ten; cattle
men aboard The boss knew what that
meant
well, you take my advice, Jimmy, and
don't YOU 90 near that boat when she lands
here" admonshed Nellie with peculiar ear
nestness. They would throw you overheard
before the boat got as far as Fnar's Point, or
else they would take all your money away
from YOU"
Jimmy could not help smiling at the seri-
BUSINESS OF the warning, but he turned his head
away to hide the laugh.
The following Sunday afternoon, Jimmy's
class at the Sunday school had a substitute
teacher. Nellie Daintry could hardly wait
until school was over to ask why Jimmy was
not there
Jimmy took the train up to Cairo to meet
the Natchez, f" was the prompt explanation Of
the substitute teacher. He's coming down
the river with Tommy Atkins"
The simple fact was that the temptation
had been too strong for Jimmy. The boys
had so often wound up their talks to him and
about him with the remark, "Well, he
daresn't tackle the cattle mems game, any
how" tha; it ranked in Jimmy's soul Here
was his friend, Tommy Atkins, on the boat TO
be witness if Jimmy should take the oft-re-
peated dare and venture into that dreaded
game, and the opportunity seemed too good
TO be lost
1t did not take him long to explain to his
friend the reason for his sudden appearance

who responded to the name Of Fatty, had
Kttle beady eyes and very full lips, with a
neck that took a seyenteen-inCh collar and an
immense diamond stuck in his shirt front
They dealt the cards with a swiftncss which
was a revelation TO Jimmy, who had never
seen professionals in their own habitat before
The rapidity with which they would glance at
their cards, throw them up and ante for the
next deal, was to Jimmy extraordinary. He
had never seen such fast game, and in think
ing Of his own chances IN such company, he
felt much as a man might who has under
taken to swim a river and finds himself stand
ing beside the whirlpool at Niagara.
And this was the game the boys had dared
him to tackle! He had laughed at their ac-
counts of il and had come up 10 Cairo es-
pecially to meet this boat and get into this
game. They all knew his purpose He
could not back out now. These were the
men they had dared him TO play with. As ne
looked them over, he wondered which was the
man that had thrust bowie-knife into Mike
Hopper's hand Which OF them was it that
had thrown Texas Jake into the river?
Tommy Atkins was standing beside him,
evidently wondering what Jimmy thought Of
it. This Tommy was the witness he had
hoped to avail himself Of He must put a
bold face on il before him.
After brief consultation, as they walked
