 wife for a good man, and the play ends with the tolling of wedding bells not far distant. One of the strong scenes of the play occurs in the third act, when Katie rescues Phyllis Gregory, who has been lured to a notorious roadhouse by Densmore. The entire four acts of the play are filled with action and the au- dience is kept in a state Of intense in- terest from the rise of the first curtain until it's final fall.
 Mr. Klimt has brought his many years of experience as a theatrical producer to bear in casting and staging this new play. The drama was staged under lis personal direction and he engaged the players, who are said to be especially capable. The scenic environments is said to be more than adequate, and every de- tail has been carefully looked after to nake 'The Millionaire's Son and the Shop Girl' one of the strongest plays ever sent over the popular-priced circuit. It Is not white slave or vice play. but on the contrary, is a clean and wholesome story, filled to the brim with delightful com edy.

blned with book that fairly scintillates are score of numbers in Mr. Herbert's
 charaeteristically happy style. There is
 a rather wide range of music going from the whistleable kind to that which
 borders very closely on music such as thls highly popular composer gave to
 his grand operas "Natoma" and Made line" An unusually elaborate scenic equipment from the studio of Homer r. Emens, Americas foremost scenic artist, is promised. The opera has three scenes all laid on Long Island. The first shows a beautiful garden, the second a living room of a mansion, while the third is the smoking room of the Westmoreland Hunt club, all perfect specimens of the best there is in that particular of art. The cast of well known singers includes Do- rcthy South, Carle Stowe, Charles Mey- CTS, Ethel Boyd, Lou Powers, Augustus Buell. and others of note. A large chorus and special orchestra under the direc- tion of Whitney Bennington completes the organization.

OSS passed a long and tedious
night. sleeping but little and
thinking Of many things. He
was restless and uneasy, too.
for Notwithstanding theassurances that
Slocum had given him to the contrary,
he felt that he was in danger of being
discovered and killed at any moment.
lie we'll knew that it was a common
occurrence for the men of Postum
Ridge to organize in bands and go out
ON a coon or possum hunt securing
the woods all night long. If one OF
those parties should be abroad that
night and should happen to pass near
his hiding place the dogs would be
sure to discover him and make his
presence known.
Then, to still further add to his dis
quietude, several times during the
night he heard something moving
among the bushes, only a little dis
lance from him. In the darkness he
could not see what it was, and he did
not think it prudent to 90 in search Of
it. 1t was true it might be only Il rab-
bit or some other harmless thing, but
he was o sure of that, and the I'M
certainty rs to what it was kept him
alarmed all night. If he could have
known the truth his mind would have
been greatly relieved, but his heart
would have been sadly touched.
The long night wore quietly away.
and with the dawning of light Ross
felt r%eassured, and his hopes of es-
cape revived. He had heard no move
ment among the bushes for some time
and had dismissed the matter from his
mind. He no longer dreaded the posi-
bility Of being discovered by a hunt
ing party. He felt quite safe.
After awhile he arose and began to
walk about to set his blood in motion.
BY and by, us the sun mounted higher,
he grew exceedingly thirsty. Just be-
low him Il short distance there was a
small ravine, and when his thirst be-
a to grow intense he decided to go
there in quest Of water. 1t was just
beyond the thick growth of bushes, but
he thought it would be safe to venture
there.
He went and after searching up and
