already gone home. Beyond him I
could see the gate, with two of our

II asked Mr.. Boyne what was me

the arm and led me back towards
the mouse He looked very white and
ill. l still begged for an explanation,
and at last he told me the truth. Ny
Uncle, Colonel Bulstrode, had been
found lying in the road stabbed to
death with spear. They had no
idea who the murderer might be-.
They brought up the body to the
house. Afterwards they let me see
him. Even in death his face was con.
yulsed with passion. Oh, 1t Is dread
full, dreadful"
Her reserve gave way all in a mo-
ment, and she burst into fit Of sob

was some time before she regained
her self-control, and when she spoke
again it was with difficulty and in de-
tached sentences.

said. "Mr. Boyne came into the room

he begged me not to believe any
rumors might hear about him. Then
he went away. Afterwards, as l was

had said. I ran down the stairs and
ordered them to answer. At last they
told me-he had been arrested-for
the murder"
We waited for while, and then
the little inspector rose, and, In his

said.

his head as he felt in his pocket for

The Minstrels OF the Nations Is the
idea of the production that takes the
place of the time-honored first part in
the program of the AL. G. Field Greater
Minstrels The scene is military
encampment in Panama, the soldiers
and sailors of the United States en-
pertaining the soldiers of every nation
assembled TO celebrate the opening OF
the Panama Canal, Offering Opportuni-
ties for a spectacular display rarely
equaled. The cOstuming and scenic
surroundings of this massive produc-
ton are attractive and entirely new to
the stage The milcVry service OF ey-
cry nation has representation, and the
songs of every nation are sung. The
gaudy uniforms Of the officers of the
karious military legations offer con.
trasts in cOlOrs; the flags of all nations
furnishing a background.
While the scenery is surprisingly
beautiful, the tuneful music is the chief
charm of the production. The national
airs of ireland, Scotland, Germany
France, Spain, Italy, China and Eng
| land are introduced. The songs of our
own America predominant. The com
edy eliminates with a farcical phan

TULANE THEATRE.

Analyzing the story VI Bought anu
Paid For, William A. Bradys most
recent New York Playhouse success
which comes to the Tulane for one
week, beginning next Sunday, one is
forced to the conclusion that George
Broadhurst, the author, wrote an eX-
ceptionally powerful drama because OF
the simplicity of his treatment OF the
theme The plot is so straightway that
t might be written on visiting card.
The intense interest of the play is III
its pointed dialogue and the frank I'M
folding of his skillfully dra>sn charac-
tiers.
The story deals with the marriage
of wealthy man to poor telephone
operator. She is of humble origin and
nto her life of luxury lifts her sister
and brother-in-law. In accepting the
proposal of the millionaire she made
no pretense of anything more than ad-
miring and respecting her husband, but
in two years this feeling develops in
to love which battles with pride, when,
| in a moment of drunken debauch, he
tells her he has bought and paid Tor
her. In her resentment she leaves her
husband and refuses any assistance
from him. Her action reduces the in
spired brother-in-law to poverty again
The brother-in-law, ne'er-dO-well, dri-
ven to extremities by the loss of his
| comfortable salary, and knowing that
the husband loves his wife, makes one
of his characteristic blunders and thus
brings them together again.
Bought and Paid Forr' played con
tinuously for over fifteen months at the
Playhouse in New York; it injoyed
season of six months at the Princess
Theatre Chicago; and Londoners
flocked to see it at the New Theatre
in the British Metropolis for over six
months.
