after this sensational statement, and
Josie, though she had heard such Wild

by this one. 1t seemed so much more
possible, more real, now that she had
seen Broadway In his maturity. How

connected with it, but the story was
treated as an old wife's "havers," and
no man had dug to find out the truth.
Agriculture, however, began to be
Systematically pursued, and all land at
low level was required Superstition
among the crofters made them avow
that the concealed gold would never
be found until the son of stranger
came. Powder was utilized to blast
away the big boulder-stone. Flowing
had already been undertaken around
it.
The plowman waited at some dis
lance with his team until the blast had
taken effect. When the pieces of rock
were removed the pillow was drawn
over the site. 1t was recently-em
ployed English boy who guided the
plow. Three solid gold bracelets were
found on the spot where the boulder
had once been. Thus an English boy
fulfilled the prophecy of the story of
long ago.

way, but there were two arguments
against this, the first that gnats and

He got into bed.
Broadway did not go to bed. Instead
he found a pen and ink and some of
the soft, spongy hotel stationery in
drawer of the bare washstand. He be-
gan work with them slowly, painfully.
The pen soon failing, he dug from a
corner Of a pocket in his vest the pen
Gil of which he had been so proud
when Pembroke had called on him,
and continued. After an hours hard
labor for his brain. the pencil, the soft
paper and the tongue which he contin-
ually thrust into his cheek, he had
what he thought a master
piece. He was not sure whether he
would speak it, the next day, to Josie,
by herself, or to the assembled multi
tude of the mills employees, but he was
certain it was great.

Josie bent above her work. She
could not tell even the judge of the
intensity of feeling which she had put
into that long conversation with Broad
way.
She had not slept SO very we'll her
self. She had wondered if he thought
her bold, officious, to have given him
advice so freely, to have told him what
she had about what she believed to
be his duty. She knew that, now and
then, she had been almost imprisoned
in her plea for Jonesyille and its
people, She wondered if he thought
her silly, over-earnest. But she told
the Judge none of these things. They
were hidden in her heart. That heart
had known a lot of turmoil since
had come back.

affairs and explained to him what the
plant meant to the town." she said
and bent above her papers on the
desk.
What did he say?" asked the persis-
tent judge.

wished that he would so away and

Charles Dingle, the leading man of
the Forsberg Players at the Orpheum

front as a matinee idol.
Not that he is not equally as well
liked by the audiences at the even
ing performances; but his really
truly worshippers are the matinee
visitors.
For the week beginning today,
Manager Forsberg has chosen for his
excellent company of players the
comedy "BabY Mine a play which
might almost be called the universal
comedy, as it has been played in
nearly all Of the spoken tongues of
the white race.
Produced first in New York. where
it ran for year at Days Theatre,
it afterwards duplicated this
run at the Criterion Theatre in Lon
don, and has been translated into
German, played in Berlin; into
French and produced in Paris; and in
the Russian language it has been
played in Petrograd and other Rus
sian cities. Australia and South
Africa have also seen it and applaud

wife. who has, however, a propensity
for fibbing TO her husband. Outside
