worthy friend, a northwestern nomad.
They discover through McDonald's boast
ing, that he was the betrayer of Annette
and that he Is trying to deceive Htlda In
the same manner. Jules resolves first TO
take Hilda away from her home. and the
flight is accomplished after a violent scene

led by Mcdonald to believe in the SINGER
ity OF his purposes. Mcdonald follows
the fleeing trio-Jules. Ba'tiste and Hilda.
At the Bear Creek portage Ba'tiste and
Hilda go ahead while Jules remains be-
hind to meet Mcdonald.

The principal character. of course, is
the keen-witted and self-reliant boy,
Freckes. The portrayal Of the role this
week is intrusted to young Perry Golden
and the producers think he meets their
requirements that the actor should be
youthful, rich in dramatic talents and
possessing sweet. melodious voice. An
other lovable character in the book was
Angel. who had both love and sympathy
for the little waif. and Ruth Gray will
have this part.
The play is in three acts. The first
scenes show the lumber camp In the

Room for Sword Play.
From the Boston Transcript.

The civilian world has fallen into the
conviction that the era Of single combat
in war Is to all intents and purposes
over. It pictures armies as great hosts
standing two thousand yards or more
apart and each sending showers Of long
range bullets or projectiles at the other.
AS a general proposition. 1t is true that
armies do not often come. except by &C
cident. into physical grip with one an
other. There are enough exceptions,
however, to make a rule, for in the Rus
so-Japanese war combatants slew one
another quite as IL no such thing as the
high-powered. long-ranged rifle had been
invented. In and around Port Arthur
men did one another to death quite In
the old-fashioned manner.
The exceptions are so numerous that
our War Department, which a rev years
ago was inclined to look upon the saber
as simply a survival and TO discard 1t as
adding to soldiers burdens without
adding to his protection, is now expert
menting with a new and improved type
of the weapon. Such experiments would
not be undertaken did not board or OF
ficers, to whom the subject has been re-
ferred, conclude that there Is still use for
the saber, and that 1t Is important that
soldiers should be familiariZed with 1t.
This board has recommended several
types Of saber for experiment. One Is
slightly curved weapon. another has q
more sweeping curve, and still third
is all but straight. Some officers prefer
the slashing saber, and others want one
made primarily to thrust. Plalnly. while
these experts agree that the era of shock
tactics for cavalry Is over, they yet think
that occasions may arise when cavalry
will be called upon to fight cavalry. Such
collisions might come about between bod
les OF cavalry scouting and suddenly hap
pening upon one another for no man to-
day thinks that mounted troops will be
designedly hurled upon infantry. Even
in modern war there are chance encoun-
tiers In which oldtime weapons prove eff
fective. Gen. French, on one occasion
in the Boer war. while leading cava,ry,
suddenly found himself in the presence
of a large force Of the Beers. There
was no time for hesitation. and he
launched his troopers upon the enemy
SO swiftly as to break down the nerve
OF the latter. render their firing wild and
sweep them from their position before
they could rally from the surprise OF a
cavalry attack. What has happened once
may happen again.

Phone in the Pocket.
From the Technical World Magazine.

The Berlin police have a new device
that promises a revolution in telephone
arrangements. when it shall come into
general use. The pocket phone as now
used enables members OF the force to
communicate with headquarters at any
time and from almost any point In tho
streets OF the city with a readiness i'm
possible to the older forms or police tele-
phones. Each officer carries a tiny instru-
ment. practically microphone, which
he can take from his pocket and hang
upon any one OF the many weather tight
and fool-proof terminals. which are plac-
ed in convenient localities. and communi-
cate readily with headquarters. The in
strument is practical and works efficient
ly, and there Is no reason why Ii should
not be adapted to many uses. Its ex-
ceeding simplicity commends 1t. certainly.
for IL is vastly different from the huge.
unsightIy boxes. containing ordinary tel
ephones with which our American cities
are decorated. The pocket instrument
takes little more space than an ordinary
watch would occupy and weighs next to
nothing.
