a deer he raced to the boathouse, jcrked
out a stout rowing skiff and set out
rowing with all his might over the
waves, which were now beginning TO run
high. Overhead the sky grew almost
black, the lightning flashed and the
thunder shook the ground. But in five
minutes he had the children safe in the
bottom of the boat, and was pulling
back to land.
The waves ran so roughly it was a
dangerous trip, but the man managed
to get them safely through. Just as
they stepped on shore the storm broke,
and fierce storm it was. Yet the girls
did not. care. for a few minutes ,nore

Edmund Breese Big Success
in Thrilling Crook Play, Is
Critics Verdict. T.

w 7ASHINGTON is having its full
| M quota Of melodrama this
/ Wv week, with this form of
| entertainment at. both the
National and the Columbia Theaters.
The Master Mind with Edmund
Breese in the title role OF the play by
Daniel d. Carter. is fun of frills, melo-
! drama and impossibilities. but it Is
presented in such a mastery manner
| and the episodes are made to seem so
, plausible that 1t Is not until after one
has come from beneath the spell OF
Mr.. Breese's wonderful impersonation
of the Master Mind that one realizes
that the situations are oyerdrawn and
that the incidents contained in the plot
are impossible. ~ ~
Mr. Breese' gives, to the character Of
Andrew Watkins-'the Master Mind
an impersonatiOn. that is beyond .criti-
cism, and his versatile talents make
the story of the play seem to be page
from life. He plays with his men and
women as a clever strategist lays out
game of chess, moving his human
pawns on the chess board of crimna ity
as an expert would do, changing the
ivory figures to suit his purpose. 1t
Is the best work he has ever done in
the memory OF the writer, not even
excepting his excellent impersonat:ou
iE Oliver Twist
The play is making a good impression
CT the audiences this week, as demon
started by the repeated curtain calls
following the final scene. When an au-
dience remains after the curtain mas
fallen upon the last act, and insists
upon bringing the performers back to
the stage, IL is an indication that they
are satisfied, and this has been the
experience on both nights that the play
has been seen in Washington.
"Tke Master Mind"

The Master Mind is a crook play,

LONDON. Jan. I6.-After a long
stern battle the home rule bill passed
the House of Commons tonight by a
majority OF 10. Later Il was read
Tor the first time in the House or

There were two divisions IN the low
er house. Mr.. Balfpurs motion for
It's rejection was defeated 25S TO 36S
while the third reading was carried by
vote of 361 TO 257, one member OF
each side having left the house In the
interval
The result Of the division was too

House Crowded.
The house WAS crowded throughout
the day. The nationalists were only
one man short OF their full strength.
Several Of the older Nationalists who
are seldom able TO attend came over
from ireland for the division.
The Liberals and Laborites. too,
turned out in force. and the Union
lists Were not far below their total
membership. The galleries were
filled To their capacity
When the figures were announced
the \ationaiists waved hats. hand
kerchiefs and papers and cheered
Justify for Premier Asquith and Mr.
Redmond. The upper house met es-
pecially to receive the measure and
formally passed ifs FIRST reading.
Crowds Cheer.
The house Of commons soon quieted
after the Irish demonstration. but

police prevented any attempt at an
