The lateness Of the hour last night

fortune to be elected. When tie
generous words Of retiring chief

lucky man might be given.
Mr.. Fenner was in supremely good

to the newspaper men:

Danny started along n of his lit

off into another. and this into a third.
and then into stili another. 1t seemed
to Little Pete that he v had seen

how Danny Meadow Mouse ever kept
from getting lost in his own paths.
But he seemed to know just where
he was going. and he ran SO fast Little

: The costumes which William Faver-

tiful and to be subtly suggestive Of
the gradual transformation Of this
friend of Caesar from the Roman ex-
quisite to the man Of action. When
Anthony makes his first entrance in
the train Of Caesar in the opening
cen he is arrayed in a white tunic.
Over his shoulders is thrown a gor-
geous wine colored robe and in his
hair are the vine leaves which were
the hall mari of the Roman fop. In
the forum scene Mr.. .Faversham is
more modestly attired. Here he wears
a long "'old rose" toga over a white
under-robe. In the last scene on the
plains Of Philippi he years a splendid
suit of golden over which is
thrown a robe Of royal purple. This
is probably the most striking costume
Mr.. Faversham has ever worn in all
