fragrant with homeliness in spite of
the fact that one could see one's
breath in the air. I'.ut they were used
to it the hardy Virginians of those
days of open fir s and no furnaces, of
many luxuries and few comfort, and
in happy ignorance of world progress,
they suffered cheerfully and were
strong.
Colonel Henry Hampton faced a
portrait of the first Henry Hampton
of Itoanoke, stately -with brass but
tons And silver lace, set in the panels
soventy-five years before. iucy had
concluded her broiled chicken and
"bacon and hot bread, and now as he,
late for breakfast always, followed in
her wake, he read the .Norfolk and
Portsmouth Herald with which a
colored boy had that morning ridden
out from Norfolk, eight miles way.
It was before the time of daily papers
except In a large city or two, and this
of once a week was an event; a boy
was sent into Norfolk the day before
its publication that the colonel might
have it at the earliest moment.
The colonel's heavy-dragoon type
of face was handsome and weak; a
bushy mustache jutted from beneath
his fine nose, as if in an effort to
make it soldierly and masculine. The
leatures were modeled on the big
boned, lean features of men who had
done things; only the spirit was left
out. It was as if a man who inherited
his ancestor's massive silver platters
had no meat to put on them. His un
certain eyes, under their splendid
brows, wandered from column to col
umn of the little sheet, leaving this
and that article unfinished, and as he
read hf reported bits of news to his
daughter.
"How would you like to see a live
prince. Lucy?" he Inquired. "The
Herald states that we have one with
us. not ten miles from Itoanoke.
Prince Louis Napoleon was landed
from the Andromede, in Norfolk, only
yesterday. Poor young man," he
went on condescendingly, "lie has no
money. T understand, and here he is
stranded in a strange country with his
fortune to make, and no assets but a
title. It's little that will help him
in the states!"
Colonel Hampton glanced over to
see if she were listening to his words
.of wisdom; lie liked an attentive au
dience. He was enchanted with her
expression. She had dropped knife
and fork and, with her blue eyes
stretched wide, her white teeth shin
ing, was drinking in his sentences.
"Father! Is Prince Louis in Nor
folk? How can it be? Monsieur
P.eaupre was talking to mo about
him last night, and he did not dream
of his coming here. Purely he would
have known if the prince was ex
pected." . Colonel Hampton smiled sarcastic
ally. "You will find that :;our father
occasionally knows more than even
.Monsieur iieaupre. and even on
French questions. T may add." he an
nounced fron a mountain height.
"Hut in one point you are right, my
dear. The prince was not expected by
any one. not even by the great Cheva
lier Beaupre. He was exiled from
France, as you may or may not know,
some four and a half months ago, on
account of his attempt on Strasburg.
and was j-ent out on the Andromede.
with sealed orders. No one knew his
destination until he landed, on the
twenty-eighth, in Norfolk. There"
the colonel got up and walked to the
fireplace and stood with his back to
the blaze, and his legs far apart, mas
terfully. "There, my dur, I have glv
( ii you a dose of history tor a female
mind. How are vou going to amuse
your little self today:"
Th female mind paid no attention
to the digression. Lucy had long
ago, finally If unconsciously.
put her
right
poor
quite
de-
father s personality into its
place.
"Father, is the prince really
and alone in this country?"
"Poor yci, I fancy I am
certain, in fact. Alone that
pends. The authorities of Norfolk
received him with some distinction,
the Herald states, but he is putting
up at the inn one would conclude
that he was not an invited guest at
many of our great houses."
Lucy flew like a bird across to the
fireplace. Her hands went up to
either side of the colonel's lace.
"Father, quick! Have Thunder pad
dled, and ride In quick, father and
bring the prince out here to stay with
us. Give the order to Sambo, or I
shall."
Colonel Hampton's eyes widened
with surprise. "Why, but Lucy." he
stammered. "Why but why should
1? What claim have we "
"Oh, nonsense," and Lucy shook
her head impatiently. "Who has more
claim? Aren't we Virginians of the
James River princes in our own
country, too- Hasn't our family
reigned in Itoanoke longer than ever
his reigned in Kurope? Haven't we
enough house-room and servants to
make him as comfortable as in a
palace? Hut that isn't the most im
portant. It is a shame to us all.
father, that no one has invited him
before, that a strange gentleman of
high station should have to lodge at
a:; inn. Why hasn't Cousin George
Harrison asked him to Brandon? And
tiie Carters at Shirley, and the people
at Berkeley what do they mean by
not asking him? But we won't let
Virginian hospitality be stained. We
will ask him. You will ride to Nor
folk at once, will you not, father
dear?"
The touch on his cheek was pleas
ant to the vain and affectionate man,
hut the spirit of the girl's speech, the
suggestion of the courtesy due from
him as a reigning prince, to this oth
er prmce forlorn and exiled, this v;s
pleasanter. He pursed his lips and
smiled down.
"Out of the mouth of babes." he re
marked, and drew his brows together
as if under stress of large machinery
behind them. "My little girl, you
have rather a sensible idea. I had
overlooked before, that" he cleared
his throat and black Aaron standing
trav in hand across the room, jumped
and rolled his eyes "that," he con
tinued, "a man of my importance has
duties of hospitality, even to a for
eigner who comes without introduc
tion into the country."
"Introduction bother!" remarked
the daughter. "The idea of a nephew
of the Empero of France needing"
she stoppel. This was the wrong: line
of argument. "I think he will be de
lighted to come to Hoanoke House,"
sho went on. "It is so beautiful even
in winter." and she looked proudly
about the fine rom. and the portraits
on its walls loked back at her proudly
too. .
"Manv distinguished guests have
been delighted to visit Roanoke," Col
onel Hampton answered stiffly. "The
bankrupt sprig of a parvenu roy
alty" "I'ather what horrid big words!
I haven't any idea what they mean."
the girl interrupted, "except that
you're abusing Prince Louis, who is
probably having a bad breakfast in
that stiiffv inn. Go along, father,
bring him out to Hoanoke, und we'll
show him what Virginia breakfasts
are like."
Colonel Hampton's sense of import
ance was tickled by the thought of
having for a guest a scion of so fa
mous a house; his genuine instinct of
kindliness was aroused; moreover,
time hung on his hands these late
winter days, and the plan appealed to
him as a diversion.
"Aaron, tell Sambo to saddle Thun
der," he ordered.

AT THi: MAJESTIC.
The Angel Musical Comedy compa
ny passed their ."OCth consecutive per
formance yesterday with no abate
ment of their popularity in sight.
Majestic patrons show their appreci
ation of the style of entertainment
presented by packing the little play
house day after day and the Angel
company seem to have no limit to
t lie i r ever-changing repertoire. The
present Mil is "Christmas Eve" a very
timely little comedy drama with a
touch of pathos to relieve the songs
and laughter. The story Is laid in
the hills of New Hampshire anil a
number of novel scenic effects have
been arranged including a most real
istic snow scene. Miss Evelyn has a
dramatic role which gives her oppor
tunities different from the usual parts
she is called upon to play. The com
edy element is first class and the per
formance is replete with novelties and
original song numbers.

GKLWTIIST BOOK
Robert Hichens, the English author,
Fays that he never accomplished any
thing of importance through pre-con-
j ceived planning. He asserts that his
most successful achievements have
been suggested quite unexpectedly or
accidentally. The author Is an inti
mate acquaintance of Madame Na
varro (Mary Anderson , and it was at
a banquet in London that the Ameri
can actress suggested to Mr. Hichens
that he dramatized his book, "The
Garden of Allah." Hichens told Ma
dame Navarro of his experiences in
Sicily with the late Clyde Fitch, who
had spoken discouragingly of several
I small plays he had submitted and
confessed that he would have a great
! deal of trepitude in attempting such
! an important task as she had sug
gested. In a bantering way Madame
Navarro said that she would collab
orate with Hichens in the work of
making a play of his book. Her sug
gestions, although made more as a
jest than anything else, impressed
Hichens more and more, until he
finally went to the country-place of
the Navarro and had a serious talk
on the subject, the result of which
was that shortly began work on what
has proven to be a most successful
drama.
Although, the arrangement was
started as a joke, it has proven a most
lucrative business arrangement. Dur
ing the past season these co-authors
received' their share of the royalties
from the Liebler company for the
drama of "The Garden of Allah."
nearly $4 0,000. The drama of "The
Garden of Allah" will be presented
for the first time in South Bend at the
Auditorium at the Christmas matinee,
remaining there the balance of the
week, giving live performances in all.

Virginia Brooks' play of the tempt
ations of a big city, "Little Lost Sis
ter," was the attraction at the
Auditorium Sunday and will !
peated Monday night. The play
presented here last se ;isn anil
been revised and considerably
proved since the first version was of
fered. There is still room for im
provement before it becomes a classic.
It abounds in maudlin sentiment ami
mock heroics that are at times glar
ingly inconsistent. Gretchcn Sher

dently based on Miss Brooks' per
sonal investigations, gave ;i forceful,
legitimate impersonation cf an otfu-e
girl in the second act. John Leach
furnished what little eomedv there
was as talkative stage Irishman. The
purported sensational caft so r.e was
simply coarse .ami unpleasant melo
drama with a regular "Hawksh.'uv-
tne-Ieteeti e" final that was uiWly
applauded.
ous scenic and lights effects have been
provided and altogether the piece is
said to be the best of the many Mutt

The musical tabloid might as well
be ealled that as anything else for the
story isn't deep enough to bother any
one and the various characters devote
most of their time to lore making or
money making which is presumably
the principal occupation of both sides
