Dali De weese Gives Views
Mr.. Dali De weese was called
upon after Mr.. Cooper and he gave
his views of how he thought the
matter could be settled. He said:
Lets say to the governor we want
this insurrection stopped. We want
this trouble settled peacefully and
right now. Mr.. mine owner. Mr.
operator. and Mr.. miner. we want 2
meeting of you all to find out the
trouble. We don't believe this mat
ter is all one sided. We want to
have all sides heard and the matter
settled Justly and fair TO all. Some
thing of this kind should be done.

close. But in the meantime and all

They drew apart to confer, leaving

companionship. At last the coroner
came to her side and touched her arm.

in the Office marked the hour as one
A toddied individual in great buffa-
10 coat waited for her outside, hic-
coughing and bandying jest with the
half-frozen men who had spent the
night with MIN in the forlorn hope of
finding the girl.
Mrs. Wrandall gave final instruc-
tions to the coroner and his deputy,
who happened to be the undertaker's
assistant. She had answered all the
questions that had been put to her,
and had signed the document with a
firm, untrembling hand. Her veil had
been lowered since the beginning of
the examination. They did not see
her face; they only heard the calm,
low voice, sweet with fatigue and
dread.

the small matter of 80 miles, even I'M
der the most trying of conditions?
Sharply there came to her mind the
question: was she the only one abroad
In this black little world? What Of
the other woman? The one who was
being hunted? Where was she? And
what of the ghost at her heels?
The car bounded over railroad
crossing. She recalled the directions
given by the man at the station and
hastily applied the brake. There was
another and more dangerous crossing
hundred yards ahead She had been
! warned particularly to take it care
fully, as there was a sharp curve In
the road beyond.
Suddenly she jammed down the
emergency brake. a startled excIama-
ton falling from her lips. Not 20
feet ahead, in the middle of the road
and directly in line with the light of
the lamps, stood black, motionless
figure-the figure of woman whose
head was lowered and whose arms
hung Imply at her sides.
The woman in the car bent forward
over the wheel, staring hard. Many
seconds passed. At last the forlorn
object In the roadway lifted her face
and looked vacantly into the glare of
the lamps. Her eyes were wide-open,
her face CHASTITY white.

stiffening lips of Sara Wrandall. Her
fingers frightened on the wheel.
She knew. This was the woman!
The long brown ulster; the limp
fiuttering veil? "A woman about your
size and figure" the sheriff had~said
The figure swayed and then moved
a few steps forward. Blinded by the
lights. she bent her head and shielded
her eyes with her hand the better to
glimpse the occupant of the car.
Are you looking for me?" she cried
out shrilly, at the same time spread
ing her arms as If in surrender 1t
was almost wall
Mrs. Wrandall caught her breath
Her heart began to beat once more.
Who are you? What do you want?"
she cried out. without knowing what
she said.
The girl started. She had not ex-
peeted to hear the voice of a woman.
She staggered to the side of the road,
out of the line Of light.
I'll beg your pardon" she cried
1t was like wall of disappointment
4 am sorry to have stopped you
Come here" commanded the other,
still staring.
The unsteady figure advanced. Halt
ing beside the car, she leaned across
the spare tires and gazed into the
| eyes of the driver. Their faces were
not more than foot apart, their eyes
were narrowed in tense scrutiny.
What do you want?" repeated Mrs.
Wrandall, her voice hoarse and trem-
ulous.
Il am looking for an inn. 1t must
be near by. l do

Yes. That's it. Can you direct

she seemed about to fall

wonder at the miserable night-farer.

er with an un-Manhattan outlook on
life. discovered that the play was diff

Of The social evil, and the everlasting
revampjng of capital and labor, and
likewise eliminated all references to
the sexual sin. from all of which ma
terial for plays has been drawn to the
great exten Of late. Mr.. Morosco
saw in the play the relief for which

the Cort Theater, New York, with
Laurette Taylor in the title role over
q. year ago and has been playing six
nights and two matinees a week ever

The story concerns a little Irish Girl
brought up by her father in poverty
and suddenly introduced into q family
Of ~aristocratic relatives in England.
Her appearance shocks her high born
relatives. and her rnfanliliarity Of

humorous situations.
The play is brilnful Of clever wit
and humor interviewer with a thread
OF love and affection. The producer
has mounted the prediction in lavish
style and supplied a cast Of more than
usual merit.
