DAVIS THEATRE.

The bill for the first half Of the
week at Davis Theatre is one of ex-
ceptional merit and met the approval
Of the large houses that patronized
the local playhouse on Monday. The
feature picture is Lafayette We Come.
This picture, in which there is woven
"a delightful romance, is not a war
picture but vizualizes the debt that
America owed France and which this
country, Gods country, has SO nob1y
and freely paid. 1t also shows the
new bond of friendship between
America and France and the love of
France and America which will never
die. The care which has been given
the boys Of America by the French
mothers is clearly depicted. The cast
is exceptionally well balanced.
The other feature on the bill is
Under the Greenwood Tree faturing
Elsie Ferguson in a society romance
A Burton Holmes travelogue completes
the bill. .

(THE END.)
The French TrieoIor,


The Tricolor, the French national
standard Of blue, white and red, a.
vided vertically. originated during The
nrst French revolution. In 1700 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins
In the garden Of the Palais Royal be-
came q rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color:
but. remembering that green was the
color Of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected It on the following day.
They at first chose, instead. blue and
red, the colors Of the city Of Paris,
and later added the white Of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved By
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiam. A few
months after taking Of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as q
badge Of reconciliatioo with the king.
Thus the Tricolor originated a. the
symbol Of the liberty Of the French
nation. and II continued AZ such even
when afterward the 'reconciliations
with the king ended with his decaplta-
ton.

"Perhaps. 1t all depends upon the
weather."
When morning came O'Reilly made a
closer examination Of the abandoned
boat. The result was not encouraging,
but he determined to make use Of II,
and the crazy craft was launched. It
was necessary to handle her gingerly,
and when she took the water she leak
ed abominably. But during the night
she swelled and In the morning II was
possible to bail her out.
From the point Of leaving II was per-

further. Fortunately the haze was not

and 20 OReilly was enabled to hold his
course. But he did not like the look
Of things. In time there came spite
ful drzzle which completely hid the
sun and left no indication Of the course
except the direction whence drove the
rain.
No one spoke now. Even Esteban lay
silent. shlvering mlserably upon his
sodden bed. Rosa finally Strengthened
her aching back and smiled at her hus-
band.
"Are We going down." she asked.
"Oh mol This Is merely a squall," he
told her. with an assumption Of conf

CHAPTER XXI.
Tho RalnboWs End.

The journey to the coast was made
By easy stages and Esteban stood It
fairly well. Jacket, Of course. went
along. Upon the announcement Of
OReilly's intended departure for tho
States hs had promptly abandoned
Cuba to her fate. he foreswors her
utterly and declared himself q loyal
American citizen.
Relying upon the best informat don
obtainable at Cubltas, O'Reilly had
counted upon securing a sallboat from
a certain fisherman whose sympathies
were known to be loyal. but In this he
was disappointed. The party arrived
at Its destination. a tiny clearing on
an unfrequented part Of the north
shore, only to ind 1t deserted and al.
ready grown to weeds. The house was
empty, the boats were gone-all but
one old hulk. too rotten to warrant
moving. which lay high up on the sand,
its planks worm-eaten. Its seams wide
spread BY the sun.
OReilly was In q quandary. Hs
gravely doubted Esteban's ability to
stand the rough return journey. and
when he spoke to Norins Of turning
back she was panic-stricken at the sug-
gestion.
