HARON SOKOLOVE IN RECITAL.
Young Russia n American NiOlfntst
Appears in Warrington.

Haron Sokolove. the young Russian
American violinist. appeared yesterday
afternoon in a recital at the Masonic
Auditorium under the mana eement OF L
Arthur Smith. Mr.. SOkolove studied in
America at the Peabody Conservatory III
Baltimore. For several years, however,
he has had the good fortune to be a
pupil of Caesar Thomson, OF Belgium.
Mr.. SokOlove first essayed yesterday

Good work. but work that was felt as

ly the long cadenZa, which bristled with
some extreme difficulties in double stop
ping. to say nothing of the usual bril-
liant tiourishes, was executed with the
faultlcSS perfection which lacks wings
only. Yet. through all the labored NICE
ties OF execution. due probably to shy
ness. there was always the right tone.
This riGhtness of tone scared higher
and became pure beauty OF tone in the
next number. the Andante and Finale or

thrilling in chords here was another viz
tuosity. felt to he such, but the chro-
matte trillinE i'll the finale was of the
lightncss and grace of the complete ar
fist.
BY this time Mr. Sokolove had warmed
up to the next number: a Ciaccona. for
violin alone. of J. :. Bach. This work,
together with a concerto of Tschaikow
sky. the first movement of which came
last on Yesterdays program. were test
pieces on which Mr.. SokoloNc had won

out OF the question. Unless they start

"Wilkerson Is bound to make some
kind Of a move mighty soon" said
Dorr. "He can't satisfy those fellows
of his for long,"
Yet when Wilkerson appeared at the
entrance to the camp one morning
with a motley train of followers Dorr
was at a loss to know what to do.
Wilkerson was apparently peaceful
and expected a peaceful reception.
His holiness had almost carried him
through when the ignorance and cu-
pidity Of one Of vigas' men gave John
and Kane the sorely wished for open

was to him, John Dorr. Now. he
knew something of the tremendous
stake for which Wilkerson was play
ing. So deep in thought was he that
he did not notice that he was being
spied upon. He must see Ruth and tell
her. He slipped the letter into his
pocket. not observing that the torn por-
ton dropped to the table.
As he hurried out. fat with his news.
a Mexican stole into the room and.
after a keen glance around. picked up
the bit of paper. He had seen the tri-
umphant expression on DORIS face.
That writing must be valuable. He
tried to decipher 1t. but failed. So
he thrust 1t into his shirt and stole
away.
Half an hour later the last few lines
of that letter were in Harry Wilker-
sons hands.
1t was not until he had explained to
Ruth the circumstances under which
he had opened the letter and handed
her the Enclosure that John discovered
that the last portion was missing. the
part that told of the figures on the
key. Together they sought it in vain.
Well" said Ruth cheerfully. lat

that wreck and get the chest"
But IL the ship sank?" she said.
Lots of people will remember the
wreck" was the response. And with
this accurate position of where it went

what we want"
They discussed this for some time
and decided that as 500 as Kane re-
turned with the warrant for Wilker-
son they would start out for San Pc

vessel and find If possible the chest
and its precious contents.

But Wilkerson. with the torn scrap of

a scheme for that night. When the
details were settled the bandit smiled

"All right" was the response. But

the treasure with peculiar care. One
would have thought he was going to a
ball. so fanciful his dress. SO careful
