ORPHEO TO-DAY.

'The Death Warrant"-Some years
ago Joseph Baxter and Franklin
Cross were in business together, but
a dispute arose over a deal that was
put through by Baxter which separat-
ed the two men in business and
made enemies of the once friends.
Cross had a son George who was
brought up from childhood with
Bakers daughter, Helen. They not
only grew up as playmates, but also
as sweethearts, and when the dis
pute arose between their fathers, who
lived next door to each, other, they
still continued to meet each other at
the hedge separating the two houses.
1t so happens one day that George, a
little bolder than usual, enters the
yard of his sweetheart's home, and is
Sitting on the terrace conversing with
her when he father appears and runs
him off of his grounds. When George
arrives at his own home, his father
unbraids him for being engaged to
Helen. The old man is so persistent
in NJ insults to Helen that George
becomes angry. The old man is about
to strike George when George seizes
a war club from among the curios
hanging on the walls and is about to
protect himself, when his father falls
to the table from heart failure strik-
ing his head and causing instant
death.
Baxter, who has come to settle the
dispute once and for all, overhears
George and his father quarling. Look
ing through the library window he
sees the elder Cross drop dead but at
the trial which takes place later when
George is accused of his fathers
murder. Baxter simply says that he
overheard the two men quarreling,
that is all. George is found guilty and
sentenced to be electrocuted in ninety
days. Shortly before the execution
is to take place Barr suffers from
a serious attack OF sickness, which
the doctors tell him will mean death
in weeks time. His conscience be-
gins to prick him over the testimony
that he had given at Georges trial.
He therefore rushes Helen to the eX-
ecutioners to stop it, while he hurries
to the governor and is successful in
obtaining an appeal for reprive. Two
days later George is pardoned by the
governor and goes with Helen to her
fathers home, Where they find that
Joseph Baxter has passed away
peacefully and with clear consci-
ence.

Art Of Memory.

The best way to remember thing
Is thoroughly to understand 1t and oft
en- to recall 1t to mind. By reading
continually with great attention, and
never passing a passage without un'
derstanding and considering it well,
the memory will be stored with knowl-
edge, and things will occur at times
when we want them, though we can
never recollect the passage or from
whence we draw our ideas.
