theater to GO over to the revue as
against the seventeen prod ucing plays
and musical comedies. The revue
has swept all before it in the suburb.
an and provincial theaters.
The English revue is quite different
from its French original. Itilacks the
wit, political satire and topical hits
of the French and simply aims to
amuse an audience Of the tired bust
ness man type. In its. general scheme
1t Is little more than the conventional
English musical comedy robbed OF
Its remnants Of plot and made froth-
Ter than every. Its trimmings either
come from or are modelled in New
York. A knockabout comedian or
two, dapper actor with a good
voice for sentimental songs and a
chorus Of girls. who appear in new
costumes at every entry, go to make
the current revue.
The chorus man has almost en-
tirely disappeared. owing to the
prejudice against "slackers" OF men
of military age who are not doing
their bit. In one Of the road COM
panies to appear here recently the
male chorus was composed OF small
boys, dressed In the latest Piccadiily
cut. But girls ordinarily take the
place OF chorus men. y s. <
Revues apparently: I'LL niche OF

short visit from the front or Just out

summoned he was glad enough to let
a respectfully sympathetic porter lend

his two table companions of the hotel

The train was made up ready to
leave, and the locomotive was filling
the great train shed with stertorous
hissings, when a red faced man slipped
through the gates to saunter over to
the Pullman and to peek inquisitively
at the porter.

The porter knew the calling Of the
red faced man only by intuition; but
Griswold's tip was warming in his
pocket and he lied at random and on
general principles.

Daddy" asked the young hopeful,
who, relates the Kansas City Star, was
stretched out on the floor with the
daily paper in front of him, where's
P-e-t-r-o-g-r-a-d?"
why, that's the capital of Russia,
son."
II thought that was st. Petersburg"
well, st. Petersburg used to be. but
Petrograd is now."
why did they changer"
well, they didn't really change
capitals. They changed the name Of
the capital. What used to be st. Pc
tersburg is now Petrograd."
"Why did they do that, daddy?"
"Well, you see, Russia and Germany
are at war and it made the Russians
mad to think their capital had Ger
man name. So they changed it."
WAS it German city?"
mo, ST. Petersburg was the German
name. 1t meant Saint Peters city.
Petrograd is a Russian name. 1t
means Peters city in Russia"
Don't they have saints in Russia 2"
why, yes, I suppose so."
"Then, why isn't it st. Petrograd ?"
"Well, because-well, perhaps be-
cause the czar didn't want his capital
named after st. Peter Perhaps he
wanted it named after Peter the
Great"
Was Saint Peter a German?"
mo, Saint Peter wasn't a German.
He was a Greek, or a Russian or a
Jew"
Then why was st. Petersburg
named German after Saint Peter?"
well, Peter the Great, who built
the city named it st. Petersburg to
honor st. Peter"
"Then Peter the Great was a Ger
man."
"No! He was a Russian king or
car or whatever they called them
then"
why didn't he name it st. Petro-

and a Young woman who looked as If
| she might have stepped the moment
before out of the fitting rooms Of the
most famous Of Partisan dressmakers.
Griswold's supper was served, and
for a time he made shift to ignore the
couple at the other end Of the table.
Then an overheard word, the name OF
the town which he had chosen as his
future abiding place, made him sud-
denly observant.
It was the young woman who had
named Wahaska, and he saw now
that his first impression had been at
fault; she was not overdressed. Also
he saw that she was piquantly pretty;
a bravura type, slightly suggesting the
Rialto at it's best, perhaps, but equally
suggestive Of sophistication, travel and
a serene disregard of chaperonage.
The young woman's companion was
undeniably her father Gray, heavy
browed, and with a face that was a
life-mask Of crude strength and ele-
mental shrewdness, the man had be-
oueathed no single feature to the alert
ly beautiful daughter; yet the resem-
blance was unmistakable. Griswold
did not listen designedly, but he could
not help overhearing much Of the talk
at the other end Of the table. From
it he gathered that the young woman
was lately returned from some F1ori-
da winter resort; that her father had
met her by appointment in st. Louis;
and that the two were going on to-
gether; perhaps to Wahaska, since
that was the place named oftenest on
the lips of the daughter.
1t was at this point that the apex of
Philistine contentment was passed and
the reaction set in. He had been
spending strength and vitality reck-
lessly and the accounting was at hand.
The descent began when he took him
self abruptly to task for the high
priced supper. What right had he to
order costly food that he could not
eat when the price Of this single meal
would feed family for a week?
After lndl, HOtlllilS tiltl lhC oboCfoi
Gus and attentive waiter could bring
proved tempting enough to recall the
vanished appetite. Never having
known what is was to be sick, Girls
void disregarded the warning, drank
a cup Of strong coffee and went out to
the lobby to get a cigar, leaving his
table companions in the midst Of their
meal. To his surprise and chagrin the
carefully selected "perfecto" made him
dizzy and faint, bringing a disquieting
recurrence of the vertigo which had
seized him while he was searching for
his negro treasure-bearer on the levee.
i've had an overdose Of excitement,
guess" he said to himself, fiinging
the cigar away. 1.-The best thing for
me to do is to go down to the train
and get to bed"
He went about it listlessly, with a
curious buzzing in his ears and GER
tain dimness of sight which was quite
disconcerting, and when a cab was
