CHAPTER I.
The Message in the Night.

n EGGY tossed restlesslv on her
camp cot. 1t was so strange
living in tent high up among
the, hills that her sleep was ftful
and broken. She half awoke as the
wind rustied through the trees and
tapped bit of loose canvas. The
sound had the suggestion of crea-
lures being abroad in the wilderness
animals, perhaps. or Indians. Peg
gy reused up and listened.
Away off in the distance a train
rumbled through the valley. From
not far away came the gurgling
murmur of a tiny mountain stream.
Again the wind shook the leaves
and tapped the canvas. A dead
twig fell upon the tent with start
ling loudness. Peggy knew that it
was only a harmless bit of wood,
but she couldn't help giving big
jump. She wondered if there were
beasts or savages in the forest. The
rocky hills would be splendid place
in which to hide. Seemingly the
region was as wild as in the days
when the pioneers forced their way
through the trackless wastes.
Now came a new sound from a
tree above the tent. 1t was a weird
voice in a weird chant:
Hoo-pet-y, hoo-pet-y, hoo!

Marie Cahill, Florence Baird and
Wellington Cross, in separate acts
of this weeks Orpheum bill, offer all
unusual treat of talent which is sup
plemented by four other acts of
merit, making the program one of
the best that has been witnessed at
this vaudeville house for many
