""Say7 said Hawthorne, for the -first time realising that he had blacked, one of the prince eyas -4n the conflict at the casino. ' "If tberete anything fannter 4 than your looks in the next world X-don't care how quickly I go there." "Take them away," ordered the prince.

Final ly, when he found1 that he could bring nothing but smiles -from bis prisoners, he went stamping-out afvthe room leav ing the Americans to charge of the guards. "When the rope arrived' they were bound tip with as many knots as- Bor-ro-rten ingenuity would permit. Then the two were loaded, on to a dray and " -J! it , 3 it- ?3a v ; 4 S3! "Gone," cam the reply from one of the guards. hauled, to the jail. . . The newspaper man was allowed the privilege of walk ing. Once Inside the jail they were placed in separate cells. They didn't know just how long they were scheduled to wait, but Hawthorne had come to a very decisive conclusion that he was going to be out of there- in time to prevent the attack on the palace even If he had to do the herculean trick of pushing down the walls of the jail. For a long time the only sound that came to Hawthorne's ears was the mo notonous pounding of the guard who was walking up and down outside. Later came the rattling of chains, and in walked the prince, puffing and blus tering. He seemed careful to stay more than reaching distance from the barred door on Hawthorne's cell. "Welcome little ray of sunshine," was Hawthorne's greeting. The prince was unable to reply. He just frothed at the mouth. "If it isn't good for sore eyes to see you again," said Hawthorne, who re fused to let his good nature leave him. "I suppose you've dismissed two or three regiments of your soldiers now that you have my friend and I locked Jn here." "No, I haven't, but I'll let yori in on a little secret. I've picked out six of he crack shots of the army, and to morrow at 9 j"clock they are going to have a Httle practice with you as a tar get." "Great!" said Hawthorne. "The first one will try to see that his bullet goes through your heart. In case he should miss, why, the sec ond will try." "Tea, prince," said Hawthorne. "But have you thought of what might hap pen in case the whole sir missed me?" Tiere was no answer forthcoming Cf that, but in a little while, when the yrince regained his power of speech, lie said: "There is one way you can avoid be ing a target." "How's that by killing myself to night?" "Jo. Ton'v a lot of money, haven't you?" "Have IT' "Well, haven't you?" "Wio told you?" asked Hawthorne, f . S-wwf !, 1 1 i $S2 Y i INE F T HE HI " i i i II ill i I nil in I i l this ttme"5usrEa little bTE neirvoui. "One of the papers came out today and said that you were a millionaire from America-over here looking for ex citement." "Well," laughed Hawthorne, I don't know about the truth of the financial end of that story, but the excitement end is all true. I'm looking for it and I'm finding It in abnndance." "If you have this coin," said the prince, ignoring Hawthorne's attempt at facetiousness, "we can probably ar range your release. If you have no money you'll have to die." "How about my friends?" "They'll die with .you, and If you produce the money they will be al lowed to Jive." "Ko one will ever-taccuse yon of not being generous," said Hawthorne. "Now, Just let me tell you something! If I had. that money you wouldn't get ttl ' You dont dare kill me, as a mat ter of fact, and even if you dared you couldn't do it by the plan, you propose, for there isn't a man In the army could aim his gun straight enough." "This Is final," demanded the prince. "Absolutely!" replied Hawthorne. "Then you and your friends die in the morning for conspiring against Borrovina." With that the -prince took his leave. Then. Hawthorne set himself down to some real serious thinking. Wheth er he died in the morning or not was a proposition that could be taken care of later.;- The immediate subject un der consideration was whether he could get out in time to prevent the attack on the palace. "The guard," thought Hawthorne to himself. "I wonder how well he loves his country?" ' ', "Hist! Hist!" was the signal that brought the guard alongside of his cell shortly after the departure of the prince. . I "How well do you like money?" ask ed Hawthorne. "Pretty well," said the guard. "What would, it take to get me out of here?" r The guard looked around to make sure' that he was safe in talking. "I'll tell you," said the guard. "I'm an Englishman, and so is the guard at the big gate. Now, if you could let the two of ns have enough to get us birck home I think we could safely call it square." "How would five hundred strike you?" . "Five hundred!" exclaimed the guard. "Why, we'd come pretty near scuttling a ship for such a sum of money." "Then It's yours," said Hawthorne. 'An hour later Hawthorne, and Blake were on their way to the palace. The newspaper man was left in prison, for the Americans didn't think it would be safe to have him out until after they had won the confidence of the king. The king sat in his private study at the palace late that evening. With him were De Wltz and the chancellor. An air of unrest pervaded the whole palace. The king alone was unmoved. "Has Hohenloe arrived yet?" he ask ed, glancing up from some papers on his desk. "No, sire," replied De Witz. "H'm! The commander in chief of the army ignores his king's summons? And the life guards? Have they been recalled from Mavoritz, as I ordered?" "I am afraid not, sire, or they should have been here by now." "Then," calmly decided the king, "that young American's warning was well founded, it seems. "Vladimir plans a revolution. And Hohenloe and the army are behind him. It only remains to learn when and how they intend to strike. Ah, Irma," he broke off as the princess stole into the room. "What brings you here so late, little girl?" "I hardly know," she faltered. "I was worried about your majesty. Ever since that shot today" "Why, dear, that is absurd. I am" "And. from my window I could see knots of people gathering in the square in front of the palace, and" She paused on noting the exchange of quick nervous glances between De Witz and the chancellor. The former moved as if by chance toward the nearest window. He left the room a moment later to return with a look of perplexity on his wrinkled face. "Sire," he reported, "one of my men tells me the American of whom you were just speaking has gotten himself and his traveling companion, Mr. Blake, into serious trouble. It seems he has had a personal encounter a fight, in fact with Prince Vladimir." "With Prince Vladimir ?' echoed the king. "A fight? You mean that the iprince actually struck this American?" "I am afraid, sire, that it was the American who struck Prince Vladimir. Indeed, he knocked the prince down."- "Splendid!" chuckled the king. "I I mean deplorable! I fear this is seri ous." "And further, sire. After the con flict the roof caved in and temporarily buried the prince, the general and. his guards while the Americans escaped, only to be captured later by the prince and put in jail.

"Do you mean the man who struck the prince was Mr.. Anthony Hamilton Hawthorne?" "That is the name," asserted De Wltz in surprise at the other's eager ness.- "Why?" . i "Because, the chancellor answered, fit is rather a pity we did not know it sooner.' There is a long account of this Mr. Hawthorne in today's Scimitar. It seems he is a great-American capital ist, a man of boundless wealth and un limited power in the United States." "Ah," exclaimed the king, "that prob ably accounts for his dictatorial "man- -Sol" cried the king. ner today. De Witz, see that he is set free at once. We cannot afford a clash with the United States by imprisoning one of Its greatest citizens. We" Through the open window of the study vaulted a man and stood panting in front of the desk. The princess gave a little cry. De Witz clapped a hand to his sword hilt. Then they saw who it was. Hawthorne, disheveled, his clothes soiled and tumbled, his face dirt streak ed, his hair in disorder, was before them. "The guard wouldn't let us in at the gates," he explained suavely. "So I left Blake there and shinned a tree by the wall and then climbed , a water pipe. Bxcuse me for not knocking. I iwas a bit pressed for time." "We were told you were in jail," said the king dryly, first of the group to find voice. "We were, but at last I found a key that opened the door and let us out." "A. key?" "A gold bne," replied Hawthorne, jingling some coins in his pocket. "And .we came here on the run. There's the deuce and all to pay, your majesty. The prince and his crowd plan to at tack1 the palace at midnight. In less than ten minutes you're to be de throned, and" "So!" cried the king, while De Witz gasped aloud in horror, and Irma stood speechless and ghastly pale. "So, that Is why my life guards were sent to Marovltz. , They strike while we are unprotected." "Your majesty's safety is the first consideration," cried De Witz. "The crowd Ss already gathering around the palace, but we can smuggle your maj esty and her royal highness out through one of the rear entrances, and. you can cross the frontier before" "He is right," agreed the chancellor. "Your majesty's only safety lies in instant flight. There is but a single file of the life guards on duty in the palace. They cannot hold the gates against the mob and the army for five minutes." "To run away from my capital' by night!" mused the king under his breath. "An exile! Dethroned!" "Sire," pleaded De Wltz, "there is not an Instant to waste.. I beg that your majesty will prepare to go at once.'1 "You are right!" sighed the king. "Wo must go and at once." (To be Continued.)

KoOiler, AJ. K. Hall and Harry K. Morton a.9 chief fun (producers in a frolic of mirth entitled "We, Us & Company, In Paris," there is a. joyful lot of patter and stepping, which is appealing In its many novel angles of newness. From the rise of. the curtain when a pleasing platoon, of girlies trip out from" the seclusion of the -wings and render enlivening vocal salute, the of fering Is one which keeps the atten tion of all concentrated- upon the an tics of comedians, vocalists, specialists in pantomime, and' dance artists. There is much original and distinctly clever warkt put over by ant aggrega tion of anc-Iiaits In the. comedy line, and many in the oast are deserving? of headlines. In the' ball room scene of the Hotel La Vie. Paris, the three principal com ediians, Kohler, Hall and Morton, dis played- a genius for arranging sltua tions both ludicrous, and extended to the minute in jibe and Jest. Introduction, of specialties after in termission was the occasion of keen delight. Al K. Hall, tall and slim, performed eccentric . dances which evoked much applause. Harry Evans and Lawrence Paim, in songs and. dances, secured merited applause. Miss June Mills, in madicap melodies, ap pealed in imitations of Tanguay. Miss Mendrix received much favoraoie com ment in her Impersonation of a boy with Pam Lawrence, as they rendered I'd Do As "Much, for You." Harry Tvler. June Mills and! Miss Alice Poole received applause at the finish of well Dut-over selections. The show remains for the rest or tne week. POLTS VAUDEVILLE (By the Poll Press Agent.) The magnificent array, of talent dis played at Poll's, this week, is certain ly meeting with its just reward, in the shape of patronage. . Pauline, the hypnotist, is of course drawing a cer tain clientele who do not make it a business of attending theatres regu larly, but the all around food qualities of tjie program and the diversified element of the offerings are bringing out the regulars and the concensus of opinion seems to be that Mr. Poll is extending hnmself. On the contrary, Mr. Poli is merely being consistent. Occasionally a bill seems better than a preceding one, but this is all a mat ter of taste, as the salaries of the various artists at Poll's throughout the season seldom varies to any great extent. Surely the class never va ries. Amy Butler and the all star quar tet are popular with the patrons, as are Kirk and Fogarty in their novel singing and "ad lib" talking special ty; Lamberti, the brilliant musician and. impersonator; Berg Brothers, with their un!iue cycle offering, and Mil ton and De Long Sisters, in "Laying Over at Alfalfa Junction." The six acts above mentioned come as actual, standard recognised headline acts which) have enjoyed' supreme honors in every high class theatre in this country, and the fact that New York and every provincial city in America has given them the stamp of approval, makes it a certainty that Bridgeport will do the same. ' The continued good patronage signifies that they will add to their laurels here. The Talking Pictures with two new subjects, and Pauline of course are attractions needing no word of praise from a press agent. Common sense tells the average vaudeville lover that these two attractions are above the ordinary, so why waste space. Seven acts, all good, each different and those popular prices leaves little to the imagination and less to the purse. THE PLAZA (By tho Plaza Press Agent.) Every ,one has an inclination to toot their horn at some time, the Plaza management can justly toot their horn and boost their show the last three days of this week for all they are worth. Foy and Clark di rect from the big time present their comedy sketch entitled "The Spring of Youth" well if any one is troubled with the blues a sure cure for thia malady is see Foy and Clark and if no relief is gained, the case is hopeless. This couple have an act that is one sure hit and it had the audiences roaring with laughter throughout the entire sketch, both are finished performers and got all there was in the act. Mack & Mayne are about as neat a pair of singers and dancers one would care - to see. the essence of refinement and grace coupled with cleverness abounds all around their offering. The male por tion of the team is no bigger than a peanut but what he lacks in size he certainly makes up in talent his partner Miss Mayne 'is a Bpright young Miss and certainly knows how to look pretty and she puts her songs across the footlights in a manner that appealed to the entire house. Harry Cutler a comedian from xdear "Ol Lunnon" is a clever chap, especially in his imitation of George Lashwood he scored immensely. Other acts who helped materially to giving this won derful program are The Eugene Trio in a comedy bar act. The Marshalls two stylish colored entertainers and Neher and Keppel in a novelty roller skating act. The photo-plays are more on the comedy order and had the audience in good humor through out, i FOX'S LYRIC THEATRE (By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.) It - is no exaggeration or press agent's story when the statement is made that the show at the Fox Lyric for the last 'three days Is the best of the season. Perron! the wizard of the concer tina starts the ball rolling with a number-- of classical and popular se lections that puts him in a class all by himself with that melodious Instrument. Cooper and Eschell have as much fun as the audience with their ex temporaneous , stuff. They sing a number of songs- and both have excel lent voices. Miss Eschell is the young lady who sold so many flow ers the night of the benefit. Jones, Wells and Jones revive the Rathskeller trio with a number of corking good numbers. All of them sing well and one is a regular Pad erewski at the piano. Holmes and Hollister have the right idea how to please a vaudeville audi ence with a sketch. They have taken a rural - theme for the background. Holmes is the reuben and Miss Hol lister the city niece. Holmes is a scream as the Vermonter and the finishing touch . to the act where he gives a deliniation or James A. Herne in Shores Acres was a credit to that late actor. Miss Hollister is a clever foil and made the act snappy with her vivacious magnetism. The colored race have found an other Williams and Walker in Ander son ,and Goines. These two come dians kept the house in an uproar with their odd work. The closing number to this great show is Ten Eyeck and Wiley in Grecian poses and dances. No prettier act has ever played Bridgeport. Monday brings the famous Klnema color pictures- showing animated photography in natural colors. They will run In addition to the regular vaudeville and picture bill. ., Rheumatism as a result of kidney trouble, stiff and aching joints, back ache and sore kidneys will all yield to the use of Foley Kidney Pills. They are tonic in action, quick in results, curative always. W. S. Skelton, Stan ley, Ind., says: "I would not take $100.00 for the relief from kidney trouble I received from one single box of Foley Kidney Pills." F. B.
