THE IRON MASTERY
 AT LYCEUM MONDAY

One of the most wonderful plays ever written is The Iron Master which will be presented by the Alfred Cross players at the Lyceum theater next week. This is a drama in four acts taken from the French play of Georges Churt and translated and ar ranged from the authors version by J. V. Prichard. In all, there are fif- teen characters in this remarkable
 old play which was in vogue more than thirty years ago and which is rapidly being revived in various parts of this country.
 There are great opportunities for scenic effect in The Iron Master" The opening scene which shows the
 chateau de Beaulieu overlooking a
 beautiful river, with the mountains
 in the background. promises to be
 scene worth while, one measuring
 up to the standard set by early pro- auctions at the Lyceum Tn each
 play so far given there has been one salient scene that stood out as a feature of the seetings. The Iron Master will have one scene at least to compare with any of the past shows.
 "Oflicer 666'' still continues to throw audiences into convulsions of laughter. Every line in this play is fun-maker, every situation con- ducive to the abandonment of dull care. J. Irving White in the title
 role is making the hit of his career in New Britain. Alfred Cross as the
 young millionaire has a good part
 and Eugene Weber is better cast this
 week than at any time since he join
 ed the company. The three ladies Tn
 he play are Miss Julie Herne. Mrs.
 Adelaide Hubbard, and Miss Winni- fred Wellington.

With a little whistle of surprise Langdon dropped into his seat and scanned the article which was an in terview with Daniels. It's details were none essential. dealing mostly with the question of the superstitution clingnS about theaters connected in any way with tradegy, but the main fact stood out boldly. Daniels had secured fresh backing and was to start agaln.
 With the paper crumpled in his hand LangGon stared out of the win dow. trying to fit this new fact into the intricate puzzle that had grown out of the death of David Pollock.
 Everyone knew how that Daniels himself had lost all he possessed and has also lost the money Pollock had promised him through the death or the latter
 Who. then. was the new angel, whose name did not appear in the carefully worded announcement from Daniels?
 Was it not possible after all. that Daniels had secured more money from Pollock than anyone knew of, and chose this method of using it to avoid clashing with the lawyers of Pollock S estate?
 He had got no further than this point in his soliloquy, when the office boy appeared at the door, a little flushed and apologetic ''I know you don't want to be dis turbed, MT. Langdon." he said un- easily. "but there's a man out here in

EPISODE XIII. Daniels Promise.

Langdon surveyed the huge pile of mail on his desk with half rue ful, half whimsical smile. Despite the fact that he had worked half the night, his cold plunge and a cup ot strong coffee had sent him down town early, filled with energy, and he had planned to "clean up' his letters at the office before proceeding to Court.
 He had not, however, counted upon the sympathy and the antipathy that the now famous trial of Mary Page was arousing.
 Nor had he counted upon the pro- pensity of the American public to write letters, and in consequence it was not a few hours work, but the la Dor of days that lay before him in that multitudinous array of envelopes. - Beside the letters lay the morning papers, all of them. with the accounts of the trial marked heavily with blue pencil, ready to be clipped and pasted in the office scrap book. As Langdon drew out his chair and sat down the headlines of the topm most paper caught his eye.

border, brings out the statement ev-

state are sent south the troops of its
sister state will also go. Especially
should the South Dakota men go when
it is considered that the South Dakota
guard is very far from being lower
than the North Dakota men in equip
ment, efficiency and numbers. The
constant receipt of new equipment and
goods Of a kind especially suited for
southern campaigns is another cheer.
