"Ready to look at lit" Dolega asked

Agnes eyes followed Dolega's gray
head and Mr.. Nordell's round, bald
spot at the crown OF his head as they
went to the bedroom. II was nc this

frightened as she had not been before.
"When's he goin' to conner" she
gasped at Agnes. "Oh, God. when's
he goin' to conner"
"Who" said Agnes. "Bert2" For
suddenly she remembered Myrtle's cry
into the phone: "Oh. God. Bert !"
Who was Bert, and what was he to
her?
Myrtle pinked from one OF the hot
fiushes that swept her, and then went
pale. "Shut up about Bertp she
gasped, barely audibly. where's that

So 1t was not horror that swept her
horror at what she had done. That
must have been in 1t. but chiefly 1t
was fear. and her longing for life.

Officiates At
 Opening Of Circus
Wirth's Famous Troupe Opens Weeks Engagement
 at ArmOry-Audience Greatly Pleased

The crazy tumbling of the clowns, the crack of the whip, pretty ladies on horseback and all the hurry and blare of the circus band were in evi- dence last night at the opening of the zindah Grotto circus at the state armory on Field street, much to the mild delight of the older folk and to the unbridled joy of the wide-eyed peanut -eating kiddieS. Last nights performance, minus the big tent and sawdust rings, was ill., cd with the excitement of a genuine outdoor circus and the offerings of the many human and animal per- formers were well received by a capacity house.
 Mayor Frank Hayes, after having been introduced by Grand Monarch Warren D. Platt, congratulated the members of the Grotto and turned ringmaster for a brief moment. Fol- lowing his brief address, the mayor raised the whistle to his lips blew lustily, and the show was officially on.
 Star Performers
 The parade of performers seemed endless. Poodes Hanaford, Will H!ll and his dogs, Clowning Billy Rice, the excellent and exciting tumbling work of the five nimble Janslys and countless numbers of other acts kept the audience on edge for the entire show.
 One of the high lights of last evenings show was the performance of "Tulsa," one of Hills elephants, said to be the only ponderous pachyderm, as the elephants arc more familiarly termed by circus

folk, able to make a complete turn on a beam only four inches wide.
 Another feature of the show last night was a group of six Great Danes, trained by Jorgen Christian sen, who drilled in a remarkable fashion. And there was Ray Goody, tight wire expert, with an excellent performance on the wire; not to mention the breath taking feats of Mile. Orc on the horizontal bars.
 Skilled Acr0bats
 The seven Dcmanlti Arabs used the entire three rings for a wild and rare exhibition of acrobatics. An- other feature of the evening was the riding schol for acrobats. Four young aspirants for honors from the audience entered the contest and provided many laughs for the crowd. But we could go on mentioning the acts, so 1t seems for any length of time. The best thing to do is to at- tend the show, which will continue for the rest of the week with two shows a day. The afternoon per- formance is at four o'clock and the evening performance at eight. There will be a Saturday matinee at 2:30 o'clock,
