Two excellent features will 6e shown at this popular playhouse to- day. A thrilling three reel drama en- titled t'The Mystery of the Yellow Room, and a two part '101 Bison
 drama, '.The White Squaw." Neither of these photo-dramas have been ex- hibited in this city before. In fact, the management holds exclusive con tracts for nearly the entire daily pro- gram. In addition to the feature pic lures, other new pictures will De shown. This theater is enjoying a most gratifying patronage, due en- tireIy to the quality of pictures shown and the manner in which they are shown. There has been recently in stalled the latest and most complete picture machine on the market, and it is handled by an expert operator, so that the projection is fauf1ess. An other very pleasing part of the daily program is the orchestra concerts, td1- rected by E. Rhey Garrison. Each member of the orchestra is thor ough musician, some of them, com posers and often the program con- tains some number composed by a member of the orchestra. Any one who loves good pictures, accompanied by high class concerts, should visit this cozy theater which has been re- gently renovated and is one of the leading pIayhouses of the city.

 Chris, now excited too, admitted that it was, and with shining eyes regard ed the man to whom they owed so much They took a street car to the waterfront, where they walked along on foot until they reached, the wharf where the Esmeralda was lying. In contrast with the towering clipper ships all about her. the Esmeralda appeared to be a toy, and so diminu tive that they had to descend to her deck by a ladder. She was a typical south sea schooner, built on sharp and yacht like lines and heavily spared for her size.
 In the little main cabin they were made acquainted with MT. Brandeis, the mate, who was making up his ac- counts at the table, with small piles of gold and silver coin stacked on the various bills. MT. Brandeis was q very fair, irritable looking man of fifty or so, with a lank mustache, who spoke no English, and shook hands Bolemnly at his superior's bidding

 ''But what do you want with all those things?" asked Chris, to whom a sea shop was novelty.
 'ESell them to the noble savage at 300 per cent profit returned Schwartz laughing.
 s'But what are those guns over there for in the rack?'
 TO shoot him if he ain't satisfied. They are tricky lot, Mrs. Broughton, and, like all customers, are ready to beat you down, only they do it with a cloob."
 Chris shrank a little closer to Matt, who reassured her by remarking that their islands would not be like that.
 You've never told me where you want to go,'' put in Schwartz. Ware is that delightful place so different from the SoIomons?''
 Really, captain, I don't want to take you out of your course,'' return ed Matt seriously ''The Gilbert is lands are in your way. Drop us there anywhere. The Tokelaus would suit me best"
 ''The Tokelaus? Ware is dem?''
 ''Well, the Union islands-to call them the name they have on most charts.'
 ''The Union islands! Yaas, I know the Union islands. A little south, but what's that? Old south sea captains should stand together-that's what I say!''

CHAPTER XIV
A Startling Discovery.

A Startling Discovery.
 T1LN days had passed since the
 tug cast them off beyond the
 Golden Gate and with three - toots of farewell left them to shift for themselves = ten days of heavenly peace, with the sails scarcely touched and rustling softly before an unfailing breeze In all there were seven men forward who might have been seven authors, from the assidu- ous way they read-grave, oldish men for the most part, always glued to books under that tarpaulin in the waist. Herman was the only youth among them-tall, whitey-blond Her. man, who tried to make friends with the passengers till he was squeIched by the mate.
 Schwartz, though less of a reader than Brandeis or the others, very soon ran dry as conversationalist. He be- came bottled up and uncommunicative, spending hours at a time in his cabin or walking up and down the poop in a brown study none dared to disturb This was the only prerogative of cap- tain that he treated himself to, beyond taking his place at the head of the ta- ble. MT. Brandeis took all the obser-
 
 sail or. ran up kites without even go- ing through the form of consulting his superior He was the virtual com mander of the ship and made very little pretense that he was not Matt noted that Schwartz stood no watch, /. but allowed his to be taken by the sec onds mate, a ponderous individual of sixty, with white side whiskers, who was called krantz and berthed forward with the men.
 This familiarity between officers and men was new. to Matt. MT Brandeis was not above mixing with them un- der the tarpaulin and adding his cigar and book to that sprawlfng circle Matt had to admit, that the mate did not appear to Ioses caste in conse- quence- On the contrary, he was treat ed with great respect, and Herman in particular never failed to spring up at his approach.
 The two Japanese, Yonida, the stew ard, and Fusi, the cook, were not be- hindhand, either, as readers
 An indefnab1e suspicion was begin ming to creep into Mattss mind that there was something wrong with the snip. The transformation of Schwartz from an amiable, talkative. friendly lit- tie man into the tacitrrn creature who paced the poop or wrote for hours in his cabin struck oddly on Matt's atten- tion. The gruf mate was gruffer than ever and showed an increasing disin- clination to let Matt see the chart as the vessels course was plotted from day to day. And t}seso white and whiskered patriarchs? Was iS 6 float ing old mems home or what?
 The humorous view with which these things were at first regarded changed fmperceptibly as time wore on. Who was this strange Schwartz and this strange Brandeis, and what had been the secret of the formers impusive good will in San Francisco? Nothing now was heard of old south sea cap tatns standing together The amazing

their repertoire of songs includes the latest and most popular hits of the day. John w. Donovan, the Chauncey Olcott of vaudeville, will have a distinc- tive place on this splendid program. Turner and Grace in a juggling panto- mime novelty with special scenery have a myriad of clever ideas injected into their act that keeps the laughs red hot and Mardo and Hunter in a. screaming ly funny variety skit complete the vaudeville program fThe Blight of Wealth. a powerful and absorbing dramatic story in two parts, Four s1oo iBiIIs'' |sHow It Worked and wild Indian" are included in the pho toplay program.

 Unparalleled in the world for photo graphic beauty, human interest, dra- amtic power and spectacular grandeur is George -KIeine's production of the Cines photo-drama "Quo Vadis,'' which is to be the attraction at the Park theatre for three days, commencing Monday, Dec. 22 with daily ma tineeS- Although this is strong statement to make, it is fully verified by the re- markable runs this attraction has had in the Astor theatre, New York City, the Garrick at Philadelphia, McVick- CTS in Chicago Fremont theatre in Boston and a host of other cities under the most adverse circumstances and in summer time, too, when every other dramatic form of entertainment has failed to attract the public into the atreS. This fact alone is sufficient sub stautiation- of almost any assertion that may be made about this truly wonderful photo-draIna.

 After a useful life devoted to his family, his employers and the welfare of his fraternaI brothers and those with whom he came in contact, Full Ierton E. Morrison died at his home, 1412 State street early this morning at the age of 47 years. Born in this city Morrison early became identified with mechanics, and when the Bryant Electric factory was founded 25 years ago. he became one of it's first en- pIoyes.

He became most popular throughout the factory and in the section in which he resided. He was also actively interested in the local lodges of Elks and Moose.
