CHAPTER III.

Long after dark Miss Carteret wax
ened For some minutes she lay In
lazy content, unstirring, wide eyes
dreaming into obscurity. The state
room was dusky with shadows; but
deck lights beyond the open window
ports pointed wan squares upon the
white interior woodwork. The sweep
of clean sea air through the room was
as sweet as fresh cool water to a
parched throat. Feeling stronger and
more herself for each delicious breath,
humbly the girl gave thanks; for it
seemed that. with the passing Of the
gale, the CHASTITY incubus of mal-de-
mer had been exercised.
Presently. conscious Of pang OF
hunger, she touched the repeating
spring on her bracelet watch-an ex-
quisitely small, jeweled extravaganza,
her fathers gift Of the previous Christ
mas-and bent an attentive ear to Its
elfin chime. Eight o'clock. 1t was too
late to dress and dine in public. But
as she lay in doubt, trying to decide
whether she was really as hungry as
she felt, or would do better to deny
herself food until breakfast, she heard
a sound from the outer deck so singu-
lar that in a twinkling 1t focused her
drowsy, Grant wits.
The sound was 'Psst-pssst-psssst,"

AMERICAN WEEDS A RULER
Alice Heine, Who Enjoyed Unusual
Distinction, Soon Tired Of Life
as Princess Of Monaco.

Alice Heine, the only American wom-
an to enjoy the distinction-ands surfer
the disillusionment-of being the wife
of a sovereign, was born in New Or
leans ffty-nine years ago. Her father
was Michael Heine, a Jewish banker,
and her mother Miss Amelie Milten-
berger, who came Of a prominent
Louisiana family.
Having made a fortune In New Or
leans, Michael Heine settled in Paris
after the Franco-Prussian war, and
rose to be a noted financier. His
daughter, Alice, became the bride OF
the due de Richelieu, scion Of an an
Gent French line. She bore him a son
and a daughter, after which he died.
The son inherited the title, and few
years ago followed the example. Of his

Alice Heine, duchess Of Richelieu,
remained a widow many years before
she was won by the prince Of Monaco,
whose prior marriage to Lady Mary
Douglas Hamilton, an Englishwoman,
had been annulled by the church. Life
with the sovereign prince of the iny
country Of Monaco-noted principally
for its great gambling resort, Monte
Carlo-was not a bed Of roses, and she
soon tired Of 1t. The prince was given

to stand the strain. They are not
beautiful but they are mighty efficient
when the right kind of power gets in-
side of them. And you are no less
gentleman because they fit you. That
man is honorable who makes himself
respected by his conduct and the work
he does. No amount Of polish can
atone for a mean ideal. And no
amount of toll can lower the man Of

voice better than her own. 1t seemed
impossible that she could be mistaken.
It was again audible, the response
of the man outside the window having
escaped her. "You infatuate ass ! DON'T

Abuse and injustice in large quanti- ties guide the destiny of ''Audr"y.' The picture is made from Mary John stones book and is a fair picturization of the vivid happenings in the orphan s life. If the cruelty and misery heaped upon her haplcss shoulders seems ov- erdone we have to remember the story is laid in the days before the refine ment of better civilization. Pauline Frederick as Audrey which was greeted by two large houses at the Dream last night, has the boise, the appearance and the suavty of the unsophisticated person. She plays the simple country girl, innocent almost to the joint of ignorance. In the suf
 ferinGs that come to Lord Hayward S protege, Miss Frederick has ample opportunity to exercise her emotion al powers. This she does well without overstraining or outplaying her part. Her grief is natural It becomes your grief. Her pain arouses every in stinct of ones pity. There are some excellent characters in this Audrey and they are well taken. Charles Wal dron as Lord Hayward is especially good as is also Helen Lindroth as Mrs. Darden, the scold. This play is on for the remainder of this week
