with her father She denied that
there had been any trouble between
Loss and her father.
She said her sister merely went to
Texas with her father because he was
i'll. She then referred the reporter to
her brother, Henry Merle; one of the
heads of the A. H. Andrews firm.
The reporters quest for Henry
Merle was fruitless At his Office
every one eyed the newspaper man
with deep suspicion.
One man told him Merle was at
lunch. The next one told him that
Merle was in court.
But he would not tell the reporter
what court he was in or the name of
Merle's lawyer, so that the reporter
might find out from him.
A girl friend of the young couple
appeared greatly surprised at the
news that the new Mrs. Loss had
gone away. She said that she always
thought that Loss stood extremely
high in the regard of the Merle fam
lily.

The production of great dramas was
his business. His great talent was
success, and his weakness was that

was rehearsing play. He was
in the habit of sitting far back in
the darkened theater, and whenever
stranger came in to see the re-
hearsal work he put himslf In the
foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and ac-
tresses. When he was putting on a
big production of THE Holy City"
three friends of his entered the the
