 Late in Dne afternoon the bro thers left off work and rode home This time Rock went with them.
 They reached the barns to aseer- tain that Ash and the others had not yet come in. Rock, after caring for his horse. slowly sauntered up the slope to his cabin, finding hinl- self subservient to an oppressive mood. Ash Preston would soon be back. What had he done with Egypt? And over against this cold speculation. with it's incalculable possibilities, balanced the warmth of his assurance to Thiry. How could he fail her? Yet, equally inn possilole-how could he be other wise than True Rock?
 While he WAS soberly debating the matter, and cleaning up for supper, he heard the clip-clop ot trotting horses, then rattling ot wheels. With a start he went tc the door.

Opportunity would some day come for him to ride down to th old well oh Slagel's ranch, and find out what was in it. He persuaded himself that he wanted to have plenty of time and be perfectly safe to pursue his investigations Eut as matter of fact he really was reluctant to find material pfssf of the Prestons' guilt.
 Rock dreamed as well as thought while at work and every day aeemed to make more certain the thing that had transformed him.
 On the fifth morning Al remark ed, laconically, "We sure gotta hustle today, for Pa will be home.
 Why the particular hustle to- day, Al?" queried Rock.
 Pa has a way of slippin' up on us, an it'd never do to be ketched loafin'. He wouldn't let us go to the rodeo and dance on the Fourth of July"
 'sI'd forgotten about that re- Joined Rock, With enthusiasm. Are all the folks goin'?"

 "I'N ask your Dad" returned Rock, thoughtfully. It would bevery much better, perhaps, for him 70 remain on the ranch. Yet the urge laid hold of him, perSuasively at first, then, augmented by very contrary spirit, it grew compelling. He could look on at the rodeo, and take just a peep in at the dance, to see T'hiry in a party dress. But then he would be certain to see her in the arms of some moonstruck cowboy. That sent a hot twinge through Rock-an unfamiliar sem sation. It was his introduction to jealousy.

 "Aw,' exclaimed Trueman, aloud, and his relief told him just now much he had cared-how he had resolutely put thought of Egypt from him. Reckon might as well go out and get it over.'
 But first he went inside. While pondering over how best to meet There was more here to be true to Thiry, he had buckied on his gum belt. Suddenly the fact dawned on him, and he laid bare hands on the belt .ouckle. But he got no farther. There was more here t obe true to than TIhiry Preston; there was the ! code of the West. He had no right 10 face this vicious unknown prob lem, Ash Preston, without being armed.

As he came in sight of the arriving Prestons, halfway between the cabins, Gage espied him, and with a start he wheeled about from the family, who were welcoming him, to dismount like any cowboy, i and hurried to intercept Rock As he drew near, his deep gray eyes 1 betrayed considerable anxiety.

Theater on the five consecutive Sunday
afternoons, beginning January "a. All
five talks are European subjects which
include many places usually visited by
the travelled American. The first takes
in a part of France noted for its in
terest and beauty, with comprehen-
sive visit to the Exposition Coloniale.
The second is Spain the Republic" p"
for which Mr.. Newman will bring in
motion pictures the thrilling drama OF
the overthrow of the former monarchy
and also many Of the romantic spots
not shown heretofore.
Berlin. the city on which the eyes OF
the world will be focused for some time
to come, is the subject of the third
talk. One of the most remarkable sights
on the continent is the new Pergamon
Museum in Berlin, where after so years
of labor. the stones and tiles of the
gate to Babylon. built more than 600
years B. c., have been brought piece

responsibility, Mr.. Jamison has deemed
it proper to explain what he did and
why he did 1t.
when began my professional
career some Sc years ago" Mr.. Jamison
says, the dialogue Of most plays was
very precise and often stilted. The
dramatic writer's of the period were ex-
tremely fond Of long speeches and used
plenty of 'asides' as the only way Of
imparting to the audience things meant
for their ears alone. The world has
taken long strides forward Snce then
and the theater has kept pace with it.
"You don't hear 'asides' now at all
nor do you have to listen to long -win-ed
harangues. What 1 have tried to ac-
complish Gin the version of Lady
Windermer's Fan now uSed) Is to bring
up-to-date lines peculiar only to the
period for which the play was written
and so make it more easily under
standable. I found I could not elimi-
nate some of the long speeches, so l
condensed them to quicken the action
and make it easier for members of the
cast to remember and to deliver them.
IT would not dream of meddling with
the plot of such a classic in the slight
est degree. I can only hope that what
I have done will be acceptable to the
spectators and send them hcme feeling
they have spent an enjoyable evening"
