Like the country, eh?" COM
planned the old doctor, hard, yell
low.faced man who was a martyr
to gout. 81 hate it Give me the
city all the time"
"You can have it," said Cicero
Jones, "and if anybody questions
your right to take it, tell them /
gave you permission"
"You people think that all the
tragedy and misery of life is found
only in the cities-tucked away in
the noisome and picturesque
slums," the doctor went on. bah!
The real drama of life is played
in these pleasant little country vii
lagos, these fine mansion houses"
He waved his hand to the passing
country. "Look for sin among
the roses, my. boy, not behind the
ash cans"
Anyway, they're real sins and
real tragedies" said Cicero Jones
composedly. eff you had lived, as
have, in an atmosphere of artih-
ciality, you would welcome even a
country murder, so long as there
was a real body to see and real
murderer to hang! That is why |
have come, to get close to the real
tiles, doctor"
Don't get too close" warned
the other grimly, and then grasp
ing Cicero's arm, he pointed to a
stately white house that showed
through belt of elms on the slope
of a distant hill. "Pretty picture,
eh?" he asked, "but that house is
owned and run by lunatic! 1t
is a fact! A homicide-and yet
sufficiently clever to deceive the
doctors who were sent to examine
him. His wife and family E.e in
terror of him. Few servants stay
more than a week, and every house
in the neighborhood locks and bolts
its doors before going to bed"
"How pleasant" said Cicero
Jones, but he shuddered.
A few minutes later the doctor
pointed through the other window
Of the Pullman.
"Do you see that beautiful red
brick house by the lake?" he
asked. Looks fine, Ell? You can
almost see the gardens from here
they are the grandest in the
country. The woman who owns
that property is suspected Of muir

standing there with your head held
high, looking at me with contempt
i recognize the devil lurking in
your eyes. Ny God! What fool
I've been1"
Helen shuddered.
'T know you'll think I'm a
prude," she said, "but there's an
awful lot of profanity in this play.
Remember, Georgina, children may
be taken to see this"
ooh, shut up, Helen! You can
always tone it down for the
matinees-go on Georgina."
But Georgina had for the mo-
ment given up the attempt to re-
hearse.
81 can't possibly get any idea
how this is going if / am con-
stantly interrupted. And | do so
want to know how it will appeal to
the managers"
"I'm sure people won't like it,"
insisted Helen. "At st. Mar
garet's we always cut the DIS and
the G's out of our plays"
"Oh, smother st. Margaret's"
said Josephine wildly. "Go on,
Georgina.
Georgina took up her script
again.
What - "a fool - I've
been-what fool I've been! But
beware, Milford Scarborough! Be-
ware! Ha! You start! So l have
touched you on the raw! You need
not frown at me! You cannot
make me fear you. Heaven will
not allow such a man as you to
triumph! You smile'-this is
where you come on, Jo."
"Oh, yes"
LADY Violetr" breathed
Georgina.
"'What are you doing here with
my husband?" demanded jose
phine sternly.
"'Your husband, ha, ha, ha!"
sneered Georgina.
Josephine's eyebrows rose.
"'Your attitude is strange, Mil
dred Burton-Great Godr"
Helen made disparaging noise.
"You can go out if you don't
like it, Helenp' said Josephine fu-
riously, "but for heavens sake
don't sniffr'
81 do think you're OVERRIDING it,
reallyw said Helen with resigna-
ton. "Why not Good Graciousp
At st. Margaret's-"
"Shut your ears if it shocks
you," suggested Josephine and was
once more the injured heroine.
"Now then-'What is this man to
your"
"'He-is-my-husbandp said
Georgina tragically.
Josephine started back.
"Ah, no! No! Nop"
-Four nos" murmured the
disapproving prompter.

with the body in a lime kiln. It
was never found. She only comes
out at night and v anders through
the garden, and in the daytime she
is invisible"
GLOW interestingly said Cicero
Jones, and swallowed hard.
"T tell you the country is the
place for real horrors" said the
gouty doctor thoroughly enjoying
himself. 81 could tell you stories
which would make your hair stand
on end with a little encourage
ment. l have been called into
cases-I am giving away no pro-
fessional secrets-that have so
filed me with fear that I haven't
been able to sleep at night. Do
you see that barn this side of the
wood?" he pointed to a distant
field.
Cicero nodded.
"Was anybody murdered there?"
he asked.
"Six people," said the doctor
impressively. Murdered by a
person who seemed to be the most
harmless creature in the world. In
fact, she was a patient of mine.
It was rather a coincidence, too,"
he mused, because on that tree
the big tree you see without any
leaves ont looks as though it is
dead, though it isn't-old Samson
Bot slehook hanged himself, as his
father had before him. And on
the other side of Dead Mans
Copse-"
"What is the name?" asked
Cicero.
"They call it Dead Mans Copse
about here, but l don't know the
story of it," said the doctor care
lessly. at is probably to do with
some crime of years gone by. But
on the other side is the county hos
pital-you'll see the mortuary in
a minute, when we get round this
bend, it is the only white block in
the building"
"I don't know that l want to
see it particularly" said Cicero
Jones. "That's a nice-looking
house," he pointt l, and then hur-
riedly, eff anybody has been
hanged or poisoned or gone mad
there, you needn't tell me. about
it."
"That's the Widdle's house."
said the doctor. "No, there is
nothing wrong with those people,
fine, healthy, good-natured souls.
They are patients of mine. The
daughter is a little mad, but /
don't think dangerously so, but
Widdle himself is a kindly, good

herself that far, and her sister
chortled.
"There you are Georgie-even
this miserable little rat says it
might be-, This is the play that's
going to make you, George
mark you, woman! Oh, what a
first night-can't you see all your
friends in front of the house ap-
plauding like mad?"
Suppose they DON'T" said
Helen.
"Why do you think we let 'em
in for nothing" demanded Jose
phine. "And can't you see the
papers in the morning. The play
was received with every mark of
favor by an enthusiastic audience.
lnere were lOuu cries 0l duIilOI
From the authors friends?"
suggested Helen, and Josephine
glared at her.
You're just like a great big
beam of sunlight soap. George,
it is no use trying to wake our
dear parent. Let us do the scene
between Gwendoline and her sis
ter. You know-where Gertrude
confesses she killed Gwendoline's
lover"
Helen shrugged.
"I'm perfectly sure there will
be young men in the audience who
will be absolutely revolted," she
said, "but, of course, it is nothing
to do with me-"
Josephine lugged a screen across
the room and unfolded it so that
it obscured the door.
Nov we can get the illusion of
being in the New Forest" she said.
"Who starts? think | do"
The Washington times., 1922-08-27

"'No. 1t is not 'true-it is not
ter - uep" gasped Josephine.
"'My-goodness! It's not true.
Milford! Say that it is not true!
Speakv She dropped her hand
on Jordan's shoulder and shook
him. "Here! Wake up, Jordan!
You're snoring when you ought to
be sneering"
Jordan came to consciousness
with a painful grimace.
"Eh, what-oh, yes. Let him
perish, let him perish!"
Dramatist and stage manager
howled together.
"You don't start perishing any
body until the last act" said jose
phine with painful calm. you've
got the wrong page, Jordan, let
me show you-there you are-Tt

ooh, yes, | see. 1T is false,
false, false'-what about a pipe?"
he pleaded.
You'll get no pipe until we've
finished this act" Kissed Josephine.
"Now sneer! That's not sneer
that's a sniff! Go on Georgina."
Milford! You cannot mean
that! All, no! You are jesting,
Milford! You cannot deny your
wife-your innocent child! You
do! l see it in your eyes!"
"'You turn your head away.
You laugh! You laugh! All, woe

("Ochw snored Jordan, his chin
dropping to his chest.) Then

look me in the face? Have you
told me the worst, Milford?"
Mrs. humble put her head in at
the door.
"The milk's gone bad, miss"
Josephine said something. Helen,
seeing it coming, closed her ears.
"We'll never keep Jordan
awake" said Georgina in despair,
after the shocked Mrs. humble had
hurriedly withdrawn. "He always
does this after tea. Really he is
terrible. And | did so want to see
how it would 60"
Josephine slipped her arm about
her sisters shoulder and. hugged
her.
"My dear, don't worry, this is a
great play. The bit we've done
shows that. Honestly, Helen, don't
you think so?"
Helen, thus appealed to, as
sumed a new importance.
do you wish me to be frank?"
'1f you're going to be frank"
