Anticipation Aroused.

The three old bachelors have become
such creatures OF habit that one OF them.
DR.. Richard Gdunt, has been inspired to
write an article for a medical journal
entitled 1.-THE Unburied Dead" which
supports the well known theory of DR..
Osler. He argues that they must resort
to some means OF jogging themselves out
OF their ruts in order to get back into
the current OF life. and thus anticipation
is raised at an early point that something
unusual is going to happen.
More definite information ie supplied
when a detective informs DR.. GGunt
and his friend, Theodore Findldy. that
criminal who has just got out of
prison is seeking the life OF the Hon.
James Tr1tnbuiI, the other Of the three
musketeers and the Judge who sem
fenced the crook. Another strand OF the
story comes from an old photograph

were formerly In love.

the child Is not an infant but a bloom
ing young girl.
No very shrewd guessing Is required
to divine how the two threads of the
narrative are going to combine and
with what results. but perhaps few
spectators take SO much trouble, and no
harm Is done II they guess right. The
promise OF the first act is we'll kept and
the interest keeps on rising. Long be-
fore the three wise fools begin to sus-
pect that the sweet young girl whom
| they have adopted is guarding some
compromising and painful secret the

Miss Menken had by far the best
