"Way Down East" is being interpret-
ed throughout the country by three
companies of equal eost" and merit,
and the scenic outfit, snowstorm ef
fects and farm yard outfit are precise
ly identical.

Grace George personally auto
i. graphed 1,500 of her photographs,
1 which, in gold and jeweled frames of
; rococco design, were the souvenirs at
r lier fiftieth performance of "Her Ma
jesty" at the Manhattan last week.

' '"The Burgomaster," a blending of
1. .musical comedy and extravaganza that
f is very successful in the west, is to
i be given a New York production at the
: Manhattan at holiday time- A spe-
cial company is being organized and
six Chicago artists are at work upon
the scenic equipment.
:
Lulu Glaser's New York opening in
"Sweet Anne Page" occurs at the Mau-
1 hattan theater Dec-ember :5. She per
sonates "the merriest Tom-boy in
Merry England," and among the char-
acters which she assumes are a queen
of the May. a pierrot. a Spanish danc-
ing girl and a fisher maiden.
::
The Rev Fhoebe A. Hanford. one of
; the crusaders against "Sapho," views
f "Her Majesty" with more approval.
! She has written Grace George a per
j sonal letter of compliment, in which
she congratulates her upon "the
charming belle esprit and delightful
acting" revealed in the romantic play.
The great commercial value of a suc
cessful rural play, once thoroughly es
tablished in nonnlnr f:ivnr. ij pvldent
from the fact that "W:iv Down F..-ist"
is already booked for the seasons of
, 1901-2, and in some of the principal
. 1 cities fixed time is reserved for it live
K years ahead. This New England idyl
promises to endure even longer than
its most famous predecessors.
That very alert and inventive old
'r gentleman. "Foxy Grandpa," has been
dramatized and" will shortly make, his
, debut behind' the footlights. It was.
, until Mr Jefferson formally denied it
C at the dramatists' dinner the other
night, generaly believed that the Ten
( erable actor had the Foxy Grandpa
bee in his bonnet, but the merry old
f gentleman will not join "Rip Van
Winkle" in Foxy Grandpa Jefferson's
J repertoire. The series of cartoons in
B which the circumventing grandsire and
f his roguish tormentors figure will
probably be produced by that other
f Joseph Joseph Hart.
i .
i Among the effects of the late Charles
I H. Hoyt will be found the scenario
I and half completed manuscript of the
f latest farcial comedy he had in mind.
. As the plot was evolved quite a while
fc. before he fell into an unfortunate men
t tal condition, it may be that "A Bunch
I of Blue Ribbon" that is the title copy
I righted will be found to contain the
I material for a successful piece. It
1. might be taken in hand by John J.
I McNally or Leo Detrichstein or Augus-
tus Thomas and brought to an artistic
f conclusion. There is ample precedent
5 for this sort of thing. "No Thorou
h-
f fare" was finished by another author
ft because its originator died, and Julian
t Hawthorne has put his name to sever-
al books his father Nathaniel project
f cd.
"The Cadet Girl" company is minus
its principal comedian. Dan Daly has
just resigned his part and is now in

j nothing that cannot be remedied in
his present affliction. His physician,
t however, has advised him that it
) -would be unwise for him to endure
the jolts incidental to the one-nigh t
f stand system. "I am due for a rest.
, any way," said Mr Daly, "and I expect
to start in a few days for a several
, weeks' vacation in the Bermudas. I
4 rather think, the. stage will keep from
toppling over during my absence."
' Miss Helen Bertram was thrown into
; a flutter of-excitement last night by re
ceiving in her dressing room a "tele
gram dated New Y'ork and reading:
: ''Uncle dead one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars left you congratula
tions." Immediately she was torn be
r tween grief for her departed relative
Vand anxiety as to what she would do
;"with the money. But before -long
,' great" white lights began to shine in
upon her. The dispatch was signed
'R. TJ. Standing," and Julius. Stegpr
suggested that it might be an attempt
to be broadly humorous at her exneas?.
Calm reflection- made the fact rise to
the surface that she lias no uncle liv
' ing or dead. "The sensation was de
lightful until I came to earth." said
' Miss Bertram, as she fished out a five
' cent piece from her reticule and hand
ed it to the conductor of the cable car
veering toward her simple home.
- ' ' !! -
-' Emmet Devoy. a nephew of the late
"X K. Emmet, who is said to possess the
characteristics of that German cora
' edlan. ' will be'put forward as a, star
I in a play called "Fritz in New York,"
, translated and adapted by B. B.' Val
. entine and Robert Griffin Morris. Mr
Devoy's tour will be under the direc
f tlon - of David Henderson. ' and
, "Wemyss Henderson will be the acting
i manager. The play will go out as a
production.. The scenes are elaborate,
and the action is laid in New Y'ork city.
Mr Devoy is- said to possess a rich,
melodious voice and a handsome per
sonality. His resemblance on the
stage to the deceased Emmet is said
to be startling. . Not only does young
Devoy closely resemble the popular
"Fritz" in face and figure, but in grace
r and action..-He was born In New York
t in 1873, and was educated in- the Chris
t tian Brothers college, at St Louis. His
.' father is Judge Devoy of -that city,

' ' uiettlonal visits of Fritz to St Louis,

in children's parts. Not being able to
accomplish his purpose of at once be
coming an actor, young Devoy joined
the amateur theatrical organizations
in St Louis, and was soon recognized
as one of the best amateur actors in
that city. It was on the advice of the
late John W. Norton, then manager of
the Grand opera house, St Louis (and
former partner of David Henderson),
under whose instruction Devoy had
made many public appearances', that
he finally adopted the stage as a pro
fession. His first appearance was
made with Reed and Collier in "Hoss
and Hoss" at the St Louis Grand opera
house. Judge Devoy, seeing the futil
ity of attempting to change the voting
man's determination. Induced him to
forsake the stage for a couple of vears
and devote the time to cultivating his
voice. At the end of this period Mr
Devoy resumed his theatrical career,
appearing in Rice's "14W2." This was
followed by engagements in "Rorv of
the Hills." W. II. Crane's companv.
Minnie Palmer's company, and "The
Girl from Paris." For a season Mr
Devoy was seen in the vaudeville the
aters. The tour will begin about De
cember 1.
THE BOWERY AFTER DARK.
Patrons of the Jacques will be treat
ed to the fifth and final performance
of "The Bowery After Drk" this even
ing. The play has proved a thorough
ly sensational one. abounding in excit
ing scenes and incidents, and the audi
ences have thoroughly enjoyed it. A

There has been an excellent buying
to-day of seats for Hi Henry's lnin

declares that he has a still stronger
company this season. Certainly, for
the prices that Mr Henry charges, it
would be impossible to furnish a bet

j tists includes some of the country's
best known minstrel entertainers.
Prices for the performance are 25, 35,

who is unquestionably one of the clev

Chicago" should prove a splendid at

SOLDIER'S QUEEN.
Miss Josephine Sabel, the vivacious
young woman who first made famous
"A Hot Time in the Old Town." will
appear at Poli's on Tuesday evening as
the star of "The Soldier's Queen," a
musical comedy written specially for
her by N.- B. Cantor. It is a por
trayal of life in a military post in New
York state, and while comedy Is natur
ally the dominant element, there are
several charming love scenes. Musi
cal numbers are baundant and Miss
Sabel will be heard in her great suc
cess of years ago. "A Hot Time in the
Old Town." " A novelty in connection
with, the performance will be the ap
pearance of Schilzonyi's Hungarian
boys' military band, many of the mid
gets in i the famous organization being
no larger than the instruments they
play. They, are, dressed 4n the Hun
garian Hussar uniform and present
rather the aspect of Christmas toys
than real, live musicians. From Miss
Sabel's renutation as a comedienne and
the novelties offered we should say
that "The Soldier's Queen" should
prove a capital performance. Sale of

CHAPTER VIII.
THE PORTRAIT.
Sprague was seated before his easel
arranging his palette for the morn
ing's work. The unfinished portrait of
Agnes Murdock looked down upon him
with eyes of living beauty. Occasional
ly the artist would bestow a deft
touch upon the glowing canvas and
would retire to a distance to note with
a critical 'eye the new effect. Then he
would consult his watch in nervous im
patience; and, going to the window,
he would glance anxiously up and
down the street. Once or twice the
rumble of wheels caused him to look
up in glad expectancy, which gradual
ly gave way to gloomy discontent as
the noise died away, in the distance.
At length hope seemed to depart al
together from the young man's breast.
He threw down his brushes, gave up all
pretense of work and drifted off into a
brown study. His eyes, fixed upon
those of the portrait, had a troubled
look in them so troubled that it was
clearly out of all proportion to the
professional disappointment of a paint
er kept waiting for a fair subject.
So absorbed did he become in his
gloomy meditations, that, when at last
a carriage stopped before the house,
the artist did not hear it. But when,
presently, a gentle tap sounded upon
the door of the studio, he sprang to his
feet as if he had received an electric
shock.
Perhaps he had-; for it was followed
by a rapid current of delicious thrills
tingling through every nerve and ef
fecting in his whole being a sudden
and" marvelous transformation. At
once the furrowed brow was smooth;
the drooping lips were wreathed in
smiles; the troubled look gave way to
one of glad wtlcomc.
For she had come at last. There she
stood, with laughing brown eyes and
glowing cheeks, when Sprague threw
open the door. Alas, as usual, she was
accompanied by her maid. Never mind;
j was it not enough to have her there at
! all, to bask in the sunshine of her
! smile, to look into the dangerous
i depths of those soul-stirring ej'es, to
liten to the rippling of her silvery
voice?
i "I fear I am a little late, Mr. Sprague;
I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
'. But you see this is how it was "
.What mattered it to him now how it
was? Was shy not there? An eternity
! of suspense and misery would have
I been wiped out by that single entran
I cing fact. Her words beat upon his ear
! like rapturous melody; he drank them
in, hardly conscious of their meaning,
j Agnes Murdoch, followed by her
! maid, proceeded at once to the dress
i Ing-room set apart for the use of the
! artist's models. When she returned,
I dressed for the sitting, she assumed un
der Sprague's directions the pose of the
portrait, while the artist critically ar
ranged ber draperies and adjusted the
shades and screens.
The maid had remained in the dressing-room.
"And so these are positively the last
final touches, are they, Mr. Sprague?"
asked the young girl, mischievously,
after a few minutes. "You artistsseem
to be quite as uncertain about your
farewell appearances as any famous ac
tress or singer.".
The artist looked up quickly as the
girl spoke. An expression of paia
I crossed his features
-.. Vll-. Mil, !-! A one tvoroA
gravely. "I shall not have to trouble
you to pose again."
Miss Murdock's attention was at
tracted by the melancholy note in his
voice. She observed him from the cor
ner of her eyes in kindly curiosity.
The artist fell into a moody salence.
For awhile he worked with feverish ac
tivity at the portrait; and then, grad
ually falling into a fit of melancholy
abstraction, he sat, with poised brush,
gazing intently at the beautiful girl
befora him. His task forgotten, he
was apparently unconscious that he
was taking advantage of his privileged
position to stare at his fair subject. Ag
nes felt his burning glance and was em
barrassed by it; but, womanlike, she
retained control of herself, outwardly,
at' all events, as she uttered some com
monplace remark, which broke the
spell and brought the artist to his
senses with a sharp consciousness of
his rudteness. He replied to the young
girl's question in a low, changed voice,
and then relapsed into a gltomy silence.
After an awkward interval he asked,
suddenly:
"Are you so very glad, Miss Murdock,
that our sittings are almost over?"
"Whj-. no, Mr. Sprague," replied Ag
nes; "I did not mean that. Of course
I shall be glad when the portrait is
finished, because I wish to have it home
and to let my friends see it. But I
should be indeed ungrateful if I be
grudged my poor little time and trou
ble, when yours have been so lavishly
and so ungrudgingly spent."
"These sittings have been a source
of so much pleasure to me," continued
Sprague, thoughtfully, "that I havo
selfishly overlooked the fact that they
could only be an annoyance and a bore
to yOu. I fear I have needlessly pro
longed them."
"But, indeed, Mr. Sprague, I assure
you it has been anything but a bore to
me to pose. I am sure I shall miss the
pleasant morning hours I have spent
here."
"They have been the happiest hours
of my life," said Sprague, earnestly, in
a low voice, "and now they are nearly
gone forever."
Agnes started slightly, blushed' and
riveted her gaze upon the daiinty white
hands which lay clasped together in
her lap. Her bosom rose and fell in
quickened undulations. ' ' '
"Why forever, Mr.- Sprague?" she
asked, softly;, ".do you think of leav
ing New York?" . , .
"No," he. replied quickly; "it is you
who are' about to -desert this studio,
which for. a short' time has -been
brightened by your presence r" ' ..
"Well," interrupted ' Agnes,. , "since
you are. hot going to leave New York,
I hope you will continue to call ' on
us." : "
"I suppose I shall continue ' to call
on your, reception days, if that is
what you mean," said Sprague, some
what disconsolately, ' -
'j "Now that," laughed Agnes, "is; not
in line with the polite things you have
been saying." - J.
. 'I' did ' not mean -to"" say anything
rude, Miss Murdock,' but a call on
your reception day is .a call on your
guests. , Surrounded as you are on
such occasions, one : has barely a
chance to catch' a glimpse of- you,
much less to speak with you."
"We are always glad to see our;
friends at other times than on our
reception days.". -
"Do you really mean it?" asked the
artist eagerly. "May X call on you
sometimes when the crowd is not
there?" "
"We shall be happy to have you
call at any time, Mr. Sprague."
Sprague thought he detected a
slight emphasis on the pronoun.
"But it is not we I wish to call on.
It is you, Miss Murdock."
Once more the young girl's express
ive eyes fixed their gaze upou the del
icate hands in her lap, and once more
there was a scarcely perceptible flut
ter beneath the lace which lay upon
her white throat.
The artist sat - with intent eyes
fixed upon her.
"Of course I shall be pleased to
have j-ou call at any time, Mr.
Sprague," she 'said, after a brief in
stant. What more could any sane man ex
pect a modest girl to say? It is not so
much the words spoken as the manner
of their utterance that conveys mean
ing. But it is a truism that a lover
is not a sane man. Sprague was not
yet satisfied. He ws about to speak
again, when a knock sounded upon
the door.
It was the hall-boy with' a letter.
".Miss Murdock?" he inquired, glanc
ing in the direction of the young
girl.
"For me?" exclaimed Agnes, sur
prised. "Yes, miss; a gentleman left it
for you."
Agnes took the letter, inspected it
curiously foe an instant; then, excusing-
herself, she tore open the en
velope and unfolded the note which
it contained.
At once a deep flush suffused her
face, and an expression of annoyance
passed over her features. She glanced
up hastily at Sprague, who was ap
parently hajpd at work upon the back
ground of the picture. ,
The hall-boy was waiting expect
antly. "There is no answer," said Agnes
quietly.
And as the stern mandates of fash
ion either forbid a woman to wear
a pocket, or else decree that it shall
be located in some particularly inac
cessible position, the young girl
dropped the letter 'and its envelope
into her lap and resumed the pose.
Sprague tried to renew the conver
sation where it had been interrupt
ed; but his efforts were in vain. Both
he and Agnes were preoccupied dur
ing the balance of the'sitting.
When at last the time came for
Miss Murdock to leave, Sprague ac
cumptuiied her x Iner carriage. After
watching it until it disappeared
around the corner, he returned mood
ily to the studio.
As he entered the , room, his eyes
fixed in a vacant stare upon the floor,
he caught sight of some.thing white
a sheet of paper resting there. Me
chanically he pushed it to one side
with his foot.
The sunshine seemed to have gone
with Agnes Murdock. A gloom had
fallen upon the place and its occu
pant. The artist tried to work; but
he was restless and depressed. At
length he threw down his brushes;
and rising from the easel, he put on
his hat and coat and Started out for
a walk, in the hope that exercise
would drive away the blue devils
whose grip he felt tightening upon
his heartstrings.
Meeting aome friends in the course
of his aimless wanderings, he was
persuaded to spend the rest of the
day in their company, and returned
to his backelor quarters late in the
evening, tired enough physically to
obtain that healthful sleep which is
the boon of strong youth
(To be Continued.)
Fondness for Money.
"Americans are accused of an un
due fondness for money," said one
of them who had just returned from
Europe, "and if that charge is true
they certainly deserve a great deal of
credit for talking about the subject
less than the people of any'other na
tion. In my travels abroad I came
into contact with many nationalities
and of all these none discussed the
question of money so little as the
Americans. I found that French and
Germans would ask me the price of vari
ous articles with the greatest frank
ness and evidently it did not strike
them as at all peculiar that men were
not in the habit of being asked how
much they had paid for their hats
nd oats. N. Y. Sun.
