She casts doubts on the good faith of

Maid handles the controversy with her
gloves off, just as though she We're in

what Mary claims to do cannot be done
for the money.
"Old Maid remains skeptcal and de-

she writes. And there is no proverbial

STORY OF EARLY
 WESTERN LIFE

"T'riss," or Beyond the Rock ies," drama of Western life in four acts, by Justin Adams.
 The drama T'riss is an in- tensely interesting and dramatic portrayal of life in a Western mining camp, such as was in ex- istence in the years immediately following the great rush for gold ill 1849, when men of Drawn, muscle and big hearts left behind their Eastern environment to brave the dangers and seek their fortunes in the vast but little known western mountains. These sturdy argOnauts and ambitious CT, gambler and other usual ha- bituaes of frontier. settlements, form the human interest of the play.
 The scene is laid in the sec ton of the Sierra Nevada mOun- tains located in the state of Col orado. Blue Canyon, being one of those. pioneer mining towns, hastily erected tO follow in close touch with the miner and the rc- suits of his find. Tn Blue Can- yon, the free and easy manner of it's citizens and the laxity of the law, cause human nature, with it's various moods and influences, 10 ride paramont in the social life of the camp.
 The author of this play has well selected his location for the setting of the human interest story he so ably pictures through the medium of his characters. A sufficient element of real comedy is injected into the plot to relieve one from the tedious task of fol- lowing the heavier heart throbs which are almost ever present.
 The story of the play, briefly told, and in which many inter- esting situations are developed, is as follows: Hank Jordan, the character part of the play, is one of those sturdy miners of the days of t849, having lived and worked his ground in the vicinity of blue Canyon, Colorado. A stage coach accident has left him the involuntary but happy pro- tector of small child, who 15 years later is the popular and much loved angel of Blue Can- yon. The little girl T'riss and q young miner named Nat Weber form happy family with Hank Jordan as their proud and ever watchful protector. Gold is found in paying quanties upon tho ground upon which Nat Web CT is working. This ground, owned by an old friend of Hank Jordan, is deeded to Nat by way of reward for past services. This announcement, when made in Zenas Grimes bar-room by Hank Jordan and the lucky owner, Nat Weber, arouses the jealousy and hatred, as well as the scheming design, to gain possession of the claim, of one Jack Hamlin, the
