bridal couple and former lover of
Henriette's.
There is awful trouble. Henriette's
happiness is completely wrecked.
Both the men are nearly driven mad
by the revelations which come out
when the storm breaks. But, at last,
the trouble-maker has overreached
herself. Her own depPaved moral
nature is revealed, in all it's hideous-
ness, to her friends, her husband
every one.
Then she becomes pitiable object,
supplicating, pleading that she al
ways wanted to be good, but was
ruled by cruel impulses stronger than
herself. Loathing finally gives way
to pity in the bosom of her husband.
He first devotes himself oreconcil-
ing Henriette's deceived husband and
his heart-broken bride.
One reason why this unusual study
in morbid psychology is attracting
very good houses to the BeIasco the
alter is, doubtless, the excellence of
the acting. Marguerite Leslie is the
Henriette, Frank Reicher the hus-
band of Henriette, and Robert War
wick the former lover of Henriette.
Bernstein has a reputation for
writing tremendous emotional
scenes, and he has fully lived up to it
in his second act, in which five hui
man hearts are fairly torn to pieces
in the revelations which follow on
one another's heels in horrifying sue
cessiOn.
And there is not a member of the
cast who does not fully respond to
the demands imposed. One may not
often sit through such a haf-hour of
drama. 1t is the justification Of THE
Secret"

long before daylight these cold morn

was necessary in the work.
We want to buy Harvey another

one was bought at a great sacrifice
when his mother was able to work,
too. Now that she is sick and must

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 14.Attor-
ney General West filed before the
Corporation Commission a petition
asking the commission to determine
the amount of refund due from Okla
homa railroads for the difference be-
tween the &c fare and the &c rate
charged between June, 1909, when the
passenger rate was enjoined, and July
1913, when it was reinstated. United

to recover 1c mile for the distance
they travelled. Estimates of the re-
funds which will be due, if the rail
roads lose, vary from $5,OOO,OOO to
so, 100000. The attorney general fur
ther contends that all parts of this to-
tai not claimed by individuals belongs
