Who was telling a story up in
Smoke Land, II was ever so wor-
ried when / saw that my master

was the letter he was holding that
displeased him.
II hung onto the corner of the
mantel-piece as long as I could, and
then I decided to look at the letter
for myself: so 1 foated over to his
shoulder where I could easily see
the written words.
"And this is what I read: Dear
brother, 1t has been a long time since
I have written to you so no doubt
you'll be surprised to get a letter.
I wouldn't be bothering you now.

since I came home from the war,

dollars, I'll pay It back the first min

Now il chanced that in this city Of Holly
wood dwelt q master of mummers, and Allah,
decreeng that all his days were accomplished
one crept in upon him by night and slew him,
and word Of the Staying went abroad in the
land and came to the city of the Caliph.
And men spake to the other of the evil
that had been accomplished in the city of
Hollywood and cast up their eyes toward
heaven and thanked Allah that their city was
not so fashioned.
Then even as they spake of the iniquity OF
this town of the mummers q great noise arose,
so that one of those who mourned over the sin
ful ways of the actors spake, saying
"What was that
And another gave reply: "Tush, it is but
cop shooting a civilian, or vice-versa"
Then the press Of the city Of the Calph took
heed OF the master of mummers who had ended
his days in the city of Hollywood. And they
published the tale of the slaughter so that all
might read. In bold type published, they read

a gang shooting and wife murder and two
shootings in which the Mamelukes OF the
Caliph figured demanded space.
And it came to pass that the days went
by it was learned that the master hummer
whose day had been accomplished had i'll the
course of his labors been sufficiently indlscreet
TO be acquaint with several women and, what
was worse, women who acted in plays for hire.
Then arose great cry among the people OF
the city OF ,ll- Calph at this disclosure, and
they walled early and late over the wages OF
sin in the market place And when 1t was
learned that certain of the women of whom
the master hummer had acquaintance had even
written HIM letters the cry redoubled.
And many of those who cried loudest during
the day spent the evening looking through
their letter files to be certain that they had
burned all of them.
And such was the scandal that arose over
the Staying of the master hummer that the
people of the city of the Caliph neglected IN
their eagerness to learn every detail of the

Then the mullahs Of certain of the mosques,
even those muahs who weekly send in their
sermons to the press with the more violent
passages underlined, took up the wickedncss
of the folk of the city of Hollywood. And they
spake Of the matter to those who gathered
before them to hear and these, having heard,
went away mourning to themselves of the sin
and evil that followed in the footsteps of
hummer folk.
Then turned the body of certain slain citi~

for in the contemplation Of the wickedness of

NEW THEATRE AT MIDDLETOwN
Cost $4,000, Seats 500 in Parquet
and 800 in Gallery-Large Stage

Middletown's new theatre, "The Ev-
erett," in less than year has, phoe-
nix-like, arisen from the ashes of its
predecessor, with all the splendor of a
renewed youth. 1t was opened to the
public recently very auspiciously. The
Everett cost 100000 and is without
peer on this peninsula south of Will
mington, with no superior in that city.
1t seats 500 in the parquet and 300
in the gallery, while the commodius
stage will accommodate 100 persons.
Both gallery and parquet are filled
with comfortable roomy chairs stained
a light brown color with ends finished
in ornamental bronze panelings. The
building is heated by what is known
as the indirect system wherein the
steam pipes are placed below the floor
ing-the newest plan of furnishing a
perfect as well as convenient warm
tn for public buildings. 1t is lighted
in complete daylight fashion by seven
handsome electroliers set in the cell
ing in groups of six nitrogen lamps
of 100 candle power each. The pic
ture booth is equipped with two Sim
plex machines of the type as" supple
mented by the very latest improve
ments both mechanical and optical
known to the perfected picture-pro.
ducing machinery, together with the
newest spotlight arrangements the
same as is in the celebrated Keith.
Theatres in Philadelphia, New Yorl
and Chicago. The buildings con
struction is entirely fire proof.
