tainted. She tried not to
think of Teddy as a slim
young man with a gray fe-
dora hat. 1t, was all a bad
dream-his having even
mentioned a bank robbery,
and still the coincidence was
there-his quiet, mysterious
disappearance. The COM
bined excitement was too
much for Rose. She tainted
and had to be escorted home
on the ferry boat, by a girl
from the office.
There wasn't any ro-
mnace in that ferryboat
ride-the sunset was dull
and colorless. Rose sat there
broken-hearted. What did
it matter now that her
father had come into his
heritage, that she need no
longer worry about money.
Money, what was it, when
love had gone-and honor.
She wept softly, and her
friend patting her hand
thought it was from the
ovcr-excitemcnt Of happl-

For days Rose lay i'll in
bed while the nationwide
hunt for the bank robber, or
robbers, went on. One morn
ing they caught the slim,
suave young man and took
his picture, his finger-prints
and everything. She would
not read the papers after
scanning the headlines. She
didn't want to know. Of
course he would give an
Alias, but the pictures. "He's
got his hat over his face,
that young fellow that COM
mitted the robbery" said
her mother. She went on
laboriously reading the de-
scription. In a moment she
would know, Rose thought
duly. In every detail ne
fitted Teddy. But she told
herself he had done it for
love of her-in desperation.
There was a ring at the
cottage door. Well, Of all
people," she heard her
mother explain, "come right
in. Your a regular stran-
ger. She 3 sick from the ex-
element, poor girl" And
mother came in with Teddy.
He didn't look ashamed like
a fugitive hiding from JUS
tice. He didn't rush to her
bedside and ask forgiveness,
instead, he chided her for
being i'll. "It's no time for
you to be under the
weather." he said, when
we're going to have the
grandest celebration you
ever had. I'm manager"
he added proudly, "of a
cigar store up in the Forties.

Her voice broke.

different boat home at night
purposely to avoid her. One
day she called his cigar
store and found that he had
quit almost a week previ-
Ously. They didn't know
where he was. Neither did
his mother.
And then Rose grew
alarmed. He couldn't have
meant it when he said, eff
| have to rob a bank" but
lovers were sometimes des-
perate.
Then out of the daily dull
ness came the most exciting
day of Roses life. Several
times during the course of
it she thought her heart
would fail her, as one thun-
derclap sounded after an
other.
In the morning mail John
Mason received a letter from
the old country. Forty years
he had waited for it, sure
that it would come. 81 told
you so, he announced joy
fully, and read them of old
Terrence MaSon's death, and
pronounced strange names
of bonds and stocks and
properties that were his
legally, lawfully and undis-
puted, at last. Terrence,
said the terse business mes
sage, had chung ruggedly to
this mortal sphere until the
ripe age Of 103, when pneu-
monia finally carried him.
off. But persistence, said
his only living male relative
and nephew, always wins.
Rose couldn't believe it.
Neither could her mother.
But John took over the long
lost reins of his household
and conferred busily with
lawyers, who treasured him
that the fortune was no
dream.
And then there was the
bank robbery, just across
from the telephone building.
A tremendous front-page
robbery-hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars in cash and
securities stolen in broad
daylight. An outside job
no clues save that a slim
young man with a gray fe-
dora hat was seen leaving
the building, shortly before
the loss was apprehended.

the looks OF thlngS, OF hef
good-natured two hundred
pound mother and of her
eleven brothers and sisters,
and her lazy father. Some
one was always squalling or
fighting. She might bring
a guest into the parlor and
seat him on a piece of bread
and jam lurking out from
under a soft pillow. Or the
baby's daily laundry might
be stretched out on the
chairs.
Not romantic at all, and
said Rose s mother strictly
-" You'll meet no young
man you don't know any
better than this one in the
city. If your own home isn't
good enough, then let well
enough alone. +" Rose was a
good girl and minded her
mother and confided in her,
which was more than most
friends of her age did.
So Rose and Teddy con-
fined themselves to ferry
boat romance. They met
every evening on the Statue
Of Liberty side, watched the
sunset, sighed over the
stately ocean liners gliding
past them out to sea-and
the unknown mysteries of
abroad. They wove dreams
and sighed long, deep signs.
And finally they took to
slipping out evenings to-
gether and climbing the hill
in the center Of Staten Is
land, and finally they fell
so deeply in love-that they
couldn't fall out again.
But they were afraid of
poverty. Rose knew what
it was like to raise a fam
lily on almost nothing at all,
save hopes, She had a
hopeful father, John Mason,
who talked of property
coming to him in the old
country if only so and SO
would die and such and
such a person gave over
some valuable papers. They
let the old man rave and
struggled on. But Rose had
sworn an oath with herself
never to marry, until she or
the husband-to-be h a d
plenty of money.
Teddy knew what it was
like to support a mother on
a slim salary, particularly a
giddy, rather demanding
mother who refused to grow
old, and wanted Teddy to
escort her about as though
she were a young girl. He'd
sworn the same oath that
Rose had. But the June
moon and the soft summer
breezes, the fragrance Of
blossoms were almost too
much for them.
eff only we didn't have
families to help" said Rose.
Maybe we'd better not see
each other any more, except
on the ferry boat, since we
can't ever-ever-marry.

While Mrs. Fiske is the dominant
figure in a de luxe cast, she must
share premier honors with Sidney

many enjoyable episodes in the play,
there are plenty of honors for all
concerned. Other members Of the
cast include Stella Mayhem, Dallas

George.
Mrs. Bum tie d-Leigh, (Mrs.
Fiske), daughter of fake patent
medicine manufacturer of Indiana,
schemes to have her younger sister
marry the eldest son of the rich
and aristocratic Rawson family.
Pretending to be connected with an
old and distinguished English fam
lily, Mrs. Bumstead-Leigh and her
sister visit the Rawsons to prepare
for the wedding. 1t seems that a
mutual friend of the Rawsons, who
is a tombstone builder from the i'm
posters home town in Indiana, is
called up to expose the fake Mrs.
Bumstead-Leigh. The part of the
tombstone king is portrayed by
Mr.. Toler. When he faces Mrs.
Bumstead-Leig who at one time
was his sweetheart, and how the
latter bluffs her way out of the
tight position, is the most amusing
of many delightful parts in the
play.

the Rawson son, decides that she
