over the moral problem confronting
him, that the way Of the transgressor
is hard. 1t was only when love rent
the veil of his faulty that he saw
himself as he really was.
Love! He gazed ahead at Fortune
under the MAMMAL. That a guileless
young girl rs she was should enchain
him! That the sight Of her should
always send longing into his soul
to go back and begin over! His jaws
hardened. Why not? Why not try

stantly looking behind to note if he
were FOLLOWED? BY the Lord Harry!

he swore that every dollar hereafter

Why not tell Mahomed at once,
and have him send a courier back for
the rug?" suggested Fortune.
"By Jove, that clears up everything.
Well do 1t Immediately" George felt
better than he had at any stage Of the
adventure. Here was simple way
out Of the difficulty.

come down to the lean facts. If that

mother has discovered it long before
how She will turn 1t over to your
estimable uncle. None of us will ever
see 1t again, I'm thinking. The Major
knows that Jones gave me a thousand
pounds for it." Struck by a sense Of
impending disaster, Ryanne began to
tumble in his pockets. Gone! Every
shilling of it gone! Hes got that,
TOO; Mahomed; the cash you gave me,
Jones. Wait a moment; don't speak;
Things are whirling about some. Over
nine hundred pounds; every shilling

Introduce Me.

"One of the best farce comedies that has appeared in Tucson for a long time was presented at the opera house last night. Introduce Me" was the title of the play, which. by the way, was writ ten by Della Clark who esSayed the leading part in most pleasing and charming manner. Miss Clark posses ses personality that at once wins the hearts of her auditors. and the man. her in which she portrayed the emo- tions of a wife wrongfully accused by her husband was exceedingly well act ed. The climax of the play was excep- tionally good. The jealous husband was unknowingly trapped into a con- fession of the fact that he was to blame for the differences between himself and his wife, all of which was heard by her and a jolly reunion resulted
 Taken all in all, the play was de- lightul in every respect and deserved better patronage"
