There were two theaters in the town, one of which played to the bet ter-class residents. In 1t anything of risque nature had to be presented with certain trimmings which allowed 1t to be classified as "art," but in the other house no such restrictions ex- isted. It was to the latter that Con- ward led. Dave had been there be- fore, in the cheap upper gallery, but Conward's tickets admitted to the best seats in the house.
 It was an entirely new experience. From the upper gallery the actors and actresses always seemed more or less impersonal and abstract, but here they were living, palpitating human beings, almost within hand-reach, cer- tainly within eye-reach. Dave found himself regarding the young woman immediately before him; all in white she was, with some scintillating mate rial that sparkled in the glare of the spotlight; then suddenly she was in orange, and pink, and purple, and mauve, and back again in white. And although she performed the various steps with smiling abandon there was in her dress and manner a modesty which fascinated the boy with a sub tlety which a more reckless appear ance would have at once defeated.
 And then Dave looked in her face. It was a pretty face, notwithstanding it's grease paint, and it smiled right into his eyes. His heart thumped be- tween his shoulders as though it would drive all the air from his lungs. She smiled at him-for him! Now they were away again; there were gyra- tions about the stage.
 Then there was a sudden break away in the dance, and the girl dis appeared behind a forest, Dave SUD- posed she had gone to rest; dancing like that must be hard on the wind. He found little to interest him now in what was going on on the stage. It seemed rather foolish. He wished the girl behind the forest would come down and rest there. Then she could see the show herself. Then she could sec
 But there was a whir from the for est, and the girl reappeared, this time all in red, right before him. And then she looked down and smiled again at him. And he smiled back. And then he looked at Conward and saw him smiling too. And then he felt very distressing uncertainty, which brought the color slowly to his face. He re- solved to say nothing, but watch. And his observations convinced him that the smiles had been for Conward, not for him. And then he lost interest in the play.

to have her chum with her. They'll be waiting if we don't hurry"
 Conward steered him to the stage entrance, where little group was al- ready cOngregated. In a moment the girl appeared, handsomely dressed in furs. With her was another girl, also from the chorus, but Dave could not recall her part. He was suddenly aware of being introduced.
 This is my friend Belton," Con ward was saying.
 Dave was about to correct him when Conward managed to whisper: Whist! Your stage name. Mines Edward. Don't forget"
 Conward took the first girl by the arm, and Dave found himself follow. ing rapidly with the other. They cut through certain side streets, up stair. way, and into a dark hall. A door opened. Conward pressed a button, and they found themselves in a small but comfortably furnished room-eyi. dently bachelor apartments.

MANY TARGETS
ARE BROKEN IN
SHOOT TOURNEY
Grand American Handicap Contest
at Chicago Promises To Be
Best in History.

Chicago, Aug. u. = That the
Grand American handicap tourney,
blue ribbon event of American trap
shooting, now being held at the
South Shore Country club, will be
the most successful in the history
of the American Trap Shooting as
sociation, was shown yesterday
when three shooters tied for first
place with perfect scores and five
were knotted for second place with
totals of 80 in the South Shore spe-
cial, a 100 bird race from Is yards
rise.
Frank J. Cairns of Tampa, Kan,
state amateur champion; Edward
W. Thimgan of Murdoch, Neb., and
William S. Hoon of Jewell, Iowa,
registered perfect scores. Frank
McNeir of Houston, Tex; L. NJ
Weeden, Cleveland, Ohio; G.. S.
Smith of Chicago; A T. Straube,
Streator. and c. C. Collins of Kan
kakee, finished with 80.
The caliber of the contestants
who will shoot for premier honors
in the various events may be shown
further by the fact that scores of
81 failed to pay a cent. There were
81 moneys and the fortunate ones
shot 90 or better.
Old time shots, who have taken
part in former Grand American
handicaps asserted they never saw
such shooting on the first day of
any tourney. Some also asserted
they could not recall a shoot in
which a score of SO or 81 did not
pay at least the amount of the en-
trance fee.
When shooting started at 10
O'Clock weather conditions were
ideal, but as the shoot grew older
a brisk east wind came up, which
caused some favorites to miss
comparatively easy targets. The
wind caused the birds to jump or
drop, and the shooters had to aim
under or over them.

Kas and Mo and Floto ana ony-
der, the "tusker," are performing
elephants. and they have corstitut-
ed themselves a board of censorship
over all the other elephants with
the Sells-Floto circus, coming to
Rock Island Wednesday, Aug. 20.
Because of their education they are
very "upstage" with the pachyderm
actors less clever than they, and, as
for the elephants which cannot per

and company slip them the fshy
eye.

slow to reach out for peanuts, do
not pass them by, but offer the

have a tough time restraining their
humble understudies' eagerness for
peanuts. OF course, it is hard for the
trainers to put THE Big 4" in
their places for they really are clev-
er actors. Most circus men concede
that Floto and Snyder, the "tusk-
er" are the cleverest pachyderms
that ever performed. They are all of
them great lovers of the children,
and it is almost impossible to be
