Then the key of his desires, or his

fellow that he was, his nature was of
common mold: it should not be diff

INSTALLMENT Xxx.

LONE in locked and muff1led
n room, Radley Brainard had late
II that afternoon turned, like a
4 \ man parched with thirst and
about to drink, upon a tray OF
bombs prepared for his private viewing.
His first choice had been one which
bore upon its brass label careful
statement of the hour and moment at
which it had been filled in the alcove
of the condenser room facing the great
west window. There, If what the
bearded and begoggled operator had
said was true, might be imprisoned. a
reclaimed scene that would otherwise
have escaped back to its unknown
source.
With light adjusted and switches
turned, the man stood in the center of
the white room and watched in breath
less suspense for new manifestation
of his miracle. What he saw was a
great window full of white light from
without, the rack of condenser at the
right containing five unlabeled bombs,
and part of the machine itself with a
cheesecloth buster lying across its dials.
Presently. as he watched he heard
through the low hum of machines be-
yond his view the trickle of water, and
up against the great panes of glass
there rose faint stains of color in the
white, wisps of outlines still and in
ghostly movements, images like those
on underlined film, wraiths of what
was forever lost.
Phantom scene of phantom scene!
Defeat of sharp hope. Confirmation of
a fear that went suddenly SO deep as
to reveal to Brainard himself how much
he had counted on the thing he had
h1yt q host
Here, alone, he acknowledged to him.
self that he had thought steadily of lit
tie else since yesterday. The events of
the day, his contacts with men, the
visit of Phyllis, explanations of his own
to others and theirs to him, reasoning
itself upon such facts as he knew, all
had gone on for him upon the surface
of troubled deep. In that deep lay
mirrored the hutter of a red bird,
splashes of dew upon limbs of silver
bronze, youth and dawn, Springs inner
meaning!
He could not analyze the thing-or
would not. Desire rocked nothing of
reason. A Tantalus gift utterly desir-
able had been shaken before his daZzled
senses and withdrawn! Thought went
no farther. Something within him
reached like babe for a glittering toy
and refused to reason about it. Love
or insanity? What else was love but
an insanity men nursed to their bos-
orns? What passion so unreasoning?
Men had done madden things for love
than for fear! Assayed by the madness
of it, he loved!
When the scene had run itself out
he did not study the reason for its lin
lied length. He seized upon the next
little steel sphere in the tray It gave
him nothing but confirmation of the
operators statement about his hidden
dials. The dustcloth covering the fig
ures which might have revealed the
coveted index first irritated, then en-
ragged him. There it lay, as if one
might easily reach out and snatch it
away. It's raveled edge wavered slightly
in some little current of air. But one
might not touch it! It was fixed there
fixed forever In its exact place in the
scheme of things! Changeless as truth
itself. more permanent than the rock

TRADITION HAS
RESULTS IN THIS
DANCE CONCERT
The Name of ISadora Dun
can Always Held Charm
In This City.
BY WALTER ID. HICKMAN.


Past history seems to cash in here
10 a certain extent whenever the
name of the late Isadora Duncan
is used in connection with a dance
program.
Last night at the Murat we had
the "Isadora Duncan Dancers"
directed by Irma Duncan with
Maurice Sheyne, pianist, appear be-
fore more people in numbers than
many a fine individual artist has
had in the audience here.
There was not scenery but Grapes
and a few lights. If a revue had
been displayed with such little
scenery and no orchestra, there
would have been a riot.
Not so with art. Not so with
number of young girls dancing
around in bare feet. No orchestra
was present nor was one announced.
This bare foot dancing has art
and yet there was a lot Of apple
sauce present in this program. 1t
is perfectly true that the highest
compliment that 1 can pay these
dancers is that they did reflect
youth. And that they did.
The two intermissions were plenty
long enough. I will probably get
a bunch of letters telling me that
I am not a highbrow and do not
appreciate art. All right, / will
stand the talk.
Art certainly approaches the state
of being indicated. Art does not
talk to everybody in the same way.
I heard many people finding fault
with the similarity of the first and
second parts. But what can feet
and arms do?
1t was in the third part, that
these dancers found a story and a
symbol, Impressions of Modern
Russia" Here was definite aim
to create a dance picture.
I found with the similarity of eX-
preston in movement in several
numbers in the first and second
parts. The greatest beauty came
when Irma Duncan was on the
stage. She is the director. The
others come in the class of inter-
eSting students. Her last number
in the second part was magnificent
with ensemble.
This type of dancing is its own.
! admit that the Duncan name
means a great deal for the success
in bringing so many people to see
this group.

dora Duncan Dancers at the Murat
last night.
