BERNARD OPENS THE
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

Laughter will reign supreme at the
Holt opera house tonight when the
Irish comedians Harry (Irish) Ber-
nard and his merrymakers will open
their engagement.
Ell Centre has been showless for a
long time, and the coming of light
tabloid musical comedy at this season
of the year is very refreshing anti
dote, and especially when an old and
well seasoned show like the Bernard
company is the vehicle.
The opener tonight is a laughing
tabloid, "McCabe in Paris" built for
laughing purposes only, with enough
of the serious vein to give it a good
plot, and then a bevy of song and
dance hits that will make you sit up
and take notice.

the goal Of her ambition while he sank
lower and lower. The metamorphosis
OF soul began to take ON physical ex-
preston. The candor OF his express
sion changed to cunning and craftiness
and an inherent frankness of manner
gave way to constraint. At the club
the change became noticeable. His
evenings there were not OF the con-
viviai sort as before. He sought only
one form OF amusement gambling. He
played heavily and lost oftener than
he won. His speculations in the street
also went awry. Within year from
the date Of his ill-gotten prosperity,
Reynolds had begun paying the price.
He paid heavily and alone.
His thoughts often turned to Dick
and the happy hours they had spent
in the little bungalow. And Jane had

That was about the last word he
had had from Dick. They had ridden
up to the city together. but they had
conversed but little and at the Battery

and hurried away.
Dick was dreamer: yes. But on
the basic principles Of life Dick was
right, and he had proved good
prophet.
The sting OF conscience and remorse
began to take such hold on Bob that
he ceased to share his wife's pleasures
and he found himself aggrieved and
annoyed at her extravagances. The
sight Of her costly gowns actually irri-
tated him, for he continued to lose
heavily and his entire fortune now was
less than the forty thousand dollars
with which Brand had rewarded his
duplicity. It was not his losses. how
ever, that unnerved him. II was the
thought that he now had nothing Of his
own making and that for every luxury

bounden to Brand. Jane was obIivious
to It, but that only aggravated the i'll.
He avoided her. Night after night he
remained away, urging press Of busi-
ness while he was engaged in nothing
