ton, McHugh advanced and placed his
hand on Quaile's shoulder.
"My boy, when l asked you to hide
yourself in the theater tonight, believed
that the only one of us in real danger was
the man that plays Woodford's part.
Maybe that's so still. But you've had
this warning. Call it off; I'll try to make
other arrangements.
His attitude was sacrifcal. Quaile
smiled.
@I'll see it through" he said. am not
so easily frightened as Carlton. I'll take
care Of anything physical. I'll have a
revolver
He released his shoulder.
$50 that's settled he said. @There's
one thing more before l go. I've been
thinking over what you said last night
about our leading lady. mean your
idea that she might have something to
do with the mystery. You know, I'd
rather believe in spirits. 1t would be
easier"
McHugh's gravity gathered in frown.
He gnawed at his cigar.
@Seems to me when / told you to get
friendly with the girl might have spared
my breath
Quaile Redeemed.
"What is it, McHugh? If we're going
to work together on this thing, we must
be frank. We must share our IDEAS"
McHugh's frown died. He spoke
gently, with an exceptional feeling.
@You trust me, Quaile. You're young
and impressionable. You do as tell you,
and let me work my own way. honestly
believe it's the only safe course. There's
nothing can tell you; Pm pretty well in
the dark. Maybe l ought to have kept
my mouth shut
His expression hardened.
4Just the same, don't you let anybody
pull the wool over your eyes"
Before Quaile could speak, he had
stepped back and raised the telephone.
an get after that call of yours" he
said glibly. II expect to have news for
you at rehearsal this afternoon"
so Quaile went, fighting back his temper
with the argument that it was only
McHugh's desperate desire to find ra-
tional explanation that had led him to turn
in such an unlikely and unjust direction
as Barbara

spend as much time as possible with Carl
toms successor. And he soon found it
would not be an uncongenial precaution;
for Wilkins was good company.
During the meal he displayed none Of
those symptoms that had preceded his re-
quest yesterday to omit the scene in
which Carlton had dropped precisely in
the manner of Woodford's death. In fact,
he didn't once revert to the theater or the
revival of @Cowards Fare" until they
were walking down for the rehearsal.
Melancholy old hole, Woodford'sp
Wilkins said. And little later:
carlton wasn't man to 60 out like
that. Funny! Darned good actor, too!n
Quaile could guess that the warning, SO
far, had been withheld from Wilkins.
Then they were in the alley, and mo-
ment later had invaded the somber gloom
Of Woodford's. Quaile pushed open one of
the set doors. McHugh had not yet arrived
"a decided variation from his habit. The
others sat around silently, their glances
directed toward the shadow-thronged

him with material ana cynical thoughts.
But instead of the swaying figures of the
dancers he saw Carlton topple and crash
to the stage, and above the music he
could hear Dolly crying again and again
her assurance of cat.
When he reached the blind facade of
Woodford's, he realized that the neighbor-
hood at this hour lacked its afternoons
vivacity. Two photographers lounged with
Mike in the stage door.
Quaile stepped through, nodding pleas
antly at the old property-man. He OBJ
served streaks of light escaping from the
antiquated doors of the first-foor dress
ing-rooms. Soon the company began to
appear in costumes of the period immedi-
ately following the Civil War.
McHugh's nervous humor when he ar
rived, was more pronounced. He sum-
moned the photographers.
After number of the groups had been
taken, he called Dolly, Barbara, and
Wilkins down stage again. His manner
was hesitating.
give got to have the third-act big scene
for poster"
He cleared his throat.
3No lines, you understand Just the
posing. And you'll have to center it
some. Everybody else off the stage-out
of sight"
Quaile alert as he was, read no change
in Wilkins face. He fancied, though,
that the mans shoulders squared trifle.
On his part, he had no fear of this quick
posing for a picture. 1t had little in COM
mon with the rehearsal of the complete
scene; nor was it reasonable to expect it
to approach similar tragic denouement.
Yet that moment during which Wilkins
held the candlestick aloft was eventually
to impress him with as thorough bewil-
derment as Cartoons death. For the
present, however, nothing extraordinary
passed. The powder flashed for the last
time; the photographers collected their
paraphernalia and disappeared. McHugh
started the rehearsal.
This was Quaile's opportunity to follow
the managers directions. He felt his way
through the darkness of the staircase to
the dress-circle and balcony. He paused
in the box where he had left his overcoat
and took the fashlight from the pocket.
Armed with this, he invaded the cellar,
and later climbed the circular staircase
to the dressing-rooms and fly galleries.
LIE was relieved when he had finished
his inspection. AS he descended, con-
WINGED that the theater secreted no alien
presence, he caught some of the dialogue
from the stage. McHugh had gone back
to the opening of the act. Therefore,
when he looked over the railing he was
not unprepared to see Barbara in the
wings awaiting the cue for her entrance
She still wore her costume of the period
of Woodford's beginnings.
At his step she moved back with
little cry, quickly smothered.
He smiled
@I'm sorry frightened you"
They spoke in low tones to avoid dis
turbing the players ON the stage. The
tenseness left her pose. She put out her
hand toward him gropingly. Her voice
was not quite firm.
"Why were you prowling up there?'
"Just nosing around"
She was oddly persistent.
al don't believe you'd do that here

McHUGH caught him after rehearsal
and drove him to an electrical appli-
ance store. He bought flashlight, in
which he had new battery inserted,
and handed it to Quaile.
"Take that with you tonight he
said, @and don't forget your revolver.
All the doors, except the stage entrance,
will be locked, and the keys will be in
safe keeping"
Quaile walked on to his apartment.
He approached the door unwillingly.
Suppose that remote and unaccountable
ringing should fill his ears again? But
silence greeted him from the dark rooms.
Undisturbed, he entered and changed
his clothing. Before leaving he took a
revolver from his bureau drawer and ex-
amined each deadly cartridge and tested
the trigger mechanism. Everything
worked precisely. He put the gun in his
hip pocket and went out.
He dined at one of Broadway's fashiest
restaurants, thinking that the music, the
motion, the blatant laughter, would fill

THE MEXICAN TROUBLE.

Our neighbors to the southwest of
US are causing the Americans much
unrest because of the Mexicans COM
ing across the border and shooting up
the towns and robbing and pillaging
the towns. This is indeed very dis
agreeable sight, and yet not as hor-
rible or disagreeable as to see Ameri-
cans killing, lynching and mobbing
their own nsighbors and American
citizens without cause oftentimes.
Think Of the hundreds of widows and
fatherless children of the African
race made so by the killing and burn
ing of human beings. We predict
that unless the American government
don't treat all of her subjects with
equal justice that sometime when the
crisis comes and the test of our 10y
atty to country we might not find all
of her subjects united in a solid pha-
lanx. Be true to myself.

IOWA GIRL IN NARROW ESCAPE.
Chicago, Ill, May 9, 1911

Chicago, ILL.,, May y, 1910.
Miss E. Mae Culberson, formerly Of
Clinton, Iowa, but now residing with
her aunt, Mrs. J. P. Bryant, ABB
Langley avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, had a
narrow escape from death on Sunday,
May 7. While cleaning her gloves on
her hands with gasoline she was in
terrupted by a telephone call, to
which she responded. When she had
finished talking she came into the
kitchen laughing and talking with her
cousin, Miss Lula Randolph, and be-
coming suddenly absent-minded she
lighted a match with the gloves still
on and an explosion resulted. She
was a mass of flames and seemed as
though the flames could not be con-
trolled. Terror stricken, she ran
screaming back and forth and thus
spreading the flames, which soon
spread up her arms and burned her
waist from her body. Her cousin
hearing her screams ran to her as
sistance and took Miss Culberson to
the water and after some effort the
flames were extinguished. Miss Ran
dolph escaped with slight burns. Miss
Culberson was painfully burned about
the hands and arms, but is recovering
nicely and is being attended by DR..
Reginald Smith, the family physician,
who deserves much credit for his abll-
ity in relieving Miss Culberson. She
is in a nervous condition and her
friends wish for her speedy recovery.
She is the youngest daughter Of M:
0. Culberson Of Clinton, Iowa, grand

Mason and devoted church worker.
Miss Culberson received her early
education in the Clinton public school
and was a graduate Of the Clinton
