and get these children back to land.
| expect they are as frightened at the
water as you would be to find your
selves in a tree.
Without much trouble Nine. Duck
made the little bark sail back to the
bank, and it didn't take Bobby and
Billy a second to jump on the ground.
Thank you very much, Nine Duck.
they said.
All this time Benny, who had run
home and told his mother what had
happened, was crying, because he
thought his brothers were drowned,
for his mother told him that instead
of running away from him, as he said
they were, his brothers could not help
themselves and were probably at the
bottom of the river by this time. and
he would never see them again.
His mother began to cry and Benny
began to be sorry he had quarreled
with Billy and Bobby so many times
oh, your poor brothers." cried his
mother
"Oh. my poor brothers." cried Ben
ny, Il will never quarrel with them
again if they come back"
The sun was just setting when
Bobby and Billy Squirrel reached
home, wet and hungry. and Mrs
Squirrel was just closing the door for
the night when she saw them.

she cried.

cried Bobby. We are not drowned

Bobby and Billy told her how Nine.
Duck helped them. And do give US
some supper. mother" said Bobby.
We are almost starved"
Benny Squirrel was very glad his
brothers were not drowned. and while
they were eating their supper he
jumped out of his bed and said: Il

you both until l thought you were

do not speak of it, dear Miss Law
ton. I only wish for your sake that
your poor father had needed poorer
heads than his, but it is too late to
speak of that now We will do all In
our power to aid you, rest assured of
that. Should you require anything,
you have only to call upon Mr. Rocka-
more, Mr.. Carlis or myself"
When he had bowed himself out,
Anita flew to the table. seized the
duplicate of the mortgage which he
had given her, and slipped it between
the pages of book lying there Then
she went directly to her dressing room
where on little stand near her bed
reposed a telephone instrument which
had not been there three days pre-
viously.
"Grosvenor 0760," she demanded,
and when voice replied to her at the
other end of the wire, she asked quer-
ulously, EIs not my new gown ready
yet? If it is, will you kindly send it
over at once? l have also found your
last quarterly bill, and think there is
something wrong with it. l will send
it back by the messenger, who brings
my gown. Thank you; good-by."

.RUSSELL'S IMPERIAL
 AT 0RpHEyM GREAT
Excellent Dancing, Clever Singing and Talking Vau-
 deville Act Here.

Visitors to the Orpheum Theatre last evening might well feel that they had their moneys worth in the pie lures alone. but the added attraction of Russell's Imperial Minstrels was a show in itself and a good show at that. Perhaps the strongest part of their program was their dancing, which was well above the average and was so we'll appreciated that each of the num- bers had to be repeated, some of them more than once.
 The singing. especially the chorus work, was extremely pleasing. some of the choruses being enthusiastically re called. and while the average minstrel joke is regarded with dark suspicion. in thi scase there were some really new ones.
 A pleasing feature of the entertain ment was the beauty of the costumes. The apparel of the members of most minstrel troupes looks as thought it must have been recovered from tho ashes of Louvain. but the dresses worn by Russell's Minstrels are fresh, bright and attractive, and added much to one of the best vaudeville numbers that ras been shown in Bisbee for some time.
 The minstrels will remain for the Friday and Saturday performances. ard in conjunction with the picture program, present an evenings amuse- ment which should not be overlooked
 One of the most amusing pictures seen here for some tine was the "Canimated Nooz." a burlesque of the weekly news pictorials shown by the big companies.
