CHAPTER XIV.
Another Trap Set.

If the truth is to be told. Jones
was as deeply ehagrined over the
outcome of the counterfeit deal as
was Braine. They had both failed
signally to reach the goal sought.
But this time the organization had
broken even with Jones. and this
tact disturbed the butler. II might
signify that the turning point had
been reached. and that in the future
the good luck might swing over to
the side of the Black Hundred
Jones redoubled his cautions. re-
iterated his warnings. and slept less
than ever Indeed as he went over
the gound he conceded a point to the
Black Hundred. He would no long
er be able to keep tabs on the organ

former quarters absolutely The

had dealt through an attorney who
knew no more OF his Giants than the
agent. So IL will be seen hat Jones
had in reality received a check.
More than all this. ii would give
his enemies renewed confidence; and
this was a deeper menace than he
cared to face. But he went about
his affairs as usual. giving no hint
to any one Of the mental turmoil
which had possession OF him.
1t Is needless to state that Norton
did not scoop his rivals on the coun-
terfeit story But he set to work ex-
ploring the cellar of the Quilted build

aviator callously turned away to-

he had been conversing prior to
Norton's approach. The two walked
a dozen yards away.
Norton had not served twelve
years as a metropolitan newspaper
man for nothing. He approached
the mechanics who were ~puttering
about the machine.
How about twenty apiece?" he
began.

SINGERS TRIUMPH
DESPITE 'LOHENGRIN'
Gadski, Matzenauer and
Urlus Win Personal Vic
tories in Wagner Favorite.

There were number of happy things
in the performance of 'Lohengrin" at
the Metropolitan Opera House last night.
There was the singing of Messrs Well
Middleton and Ruysdael; then there was
the altogether surprising singing OF
Mines. Gadski and Matzenauer and OF
Mr.. Urlus. There was the work of the
chorus, both in singing and acting; there
was the work Of the orchestra and of its
gifted conductor. Mr.. Hertz. The least
happy events of the evening were the
words and music by Richard Wagner.
To infuse new life and even some mean
ing. into the well-worn melodramatic and
mystic claptrap which make up the great
part of 'Iohengrin" was certainly an
achievement for those who did it. Mr..
Hertz conducted as he always conducts
Wagner, with eloquence and fire. OF the
singers Mr. Middleton was somewhat in
discreetly praised; one expected a shout
ing Tltta Ruffo. Instead, and far better
one found Mr.. Middleton n singer OF pow
erful voice, who has good control OF his
instrument and an excellent sense Of tonal
values Nine. Matzenauer repeated her
triumph OF last week. In the last act
she carried the vlciousness Of her part
into her singing; her high notes were
sharp and slashlng, but dramatically
right. MIR. Wells narratives were sung
with spirit and in a colorful voice.
Necessarily Nine. Gadski and Mr. Urlus
were, of all the singers, the most eloquent
and beautiful. Nine. Gadskl's voice was a
little UNMARRIED in its loveliness but its
appeal was immediate The familiar ges-
lures OF her graceful arms she used last
night almost too much. Like her voice,
they seemed to need an astringent harsh
ness now and then to carry the purely
dramatic side of her part. But IL one has
TO sing Elsa and can make the part so
fresh, so romantically dazzling as Nine
Gadski made 1t, trihing faults will pass
forgotten. Mr., Urlus. playing the peer
less and irreproachable knight, was an
heroic figure. His singing. notably In the
final act, after the wear OF the evening
had begun to show In other voices, was
extraordinarily mellow and rich.
"Lohengrin" has 81 years behind it; It
is venerable for its age. and apart from
the singing this particular evening. there
is nothing to be said OF It, The perform

Production of Play

When A. H. Woods produced Potash
and Perlmutter." at the Cohan Theatre,
New York, he determined to make the
scenes as realistic as possible. Not only
the stage manager, carpenters and scene
painters, but even the members Of the
proposed company, were required to visit
the cloak and suit district Of New York
IA order to study at first hand Montague

After several visits 1t seemed as though
nothing more in the way Of atmosphere"
could be SLded. But just then Mr.. Woods
had an inspiration.

that, but Mr.. Woods ordered his stage
director to engage four real Sweat

their tools OF trade bodily from the real

There were plenty OF cutters and press
ars who hailed with Joy the possibility
OF earning stage salaries. but when Il
came to rehearsal they got stage-fright
and It was not until score or more had
been lured to the Conan Theatre that four
were found who could stand the test OF
