Whitney's delightful musical comedy, tho "Isle of Spice," which comes to thb Keith Monday evening, January 2d, is a dream of scintilating color that has never been surpassed in the history of elaborate stage Bettings. The piece itself, while it has an inter esting story to tell, is full of music that is circulated to tickle the ears, and th comedians are given ample opportunity to disport themselves to tho unbounded delight of the audiences. There are no less than twenty songs of tho most catchy variety that will bo whistled and hummed on the streets long after the engagement horn. As nn example of modern stage management it is full of all kindsf pleasant surprises. This is particularly noticeable in the work of chorus, which is the youngest, prettiest and best singing and dancing group of young ladies entertaining the amuse ment-loving public todny. The com edians are Stanley Fclch, Bobbie Wuol sie. Bernard RIkkb. and with the able assistance of these clever artists, Mr. Felch succeeds in keeping the audience convulsed with laughter whenever on the stage. For those to whom the music clement appeals moro than the genuine article of comedy, will be found "Tho Goo Goo Man," "reggv urauy, rno uroom- stlck Witches," Uncle Sam's Marines," ' Youland 1," "Little MalU.or wcobar.

G. W. ANDERSON successor to E. O. Halvorstedt Tho Count Edouard Germain was Bitting In his study tho morning be foro Christmas. It was during the lator days of tho eighteenth century, when tho woes of tho peoplo of France hud becomo so unbearable that mut tcrlngs woro heard all over Uio land and loudest among tho poor. For cen turies tho kings nnd nobility had through lnordlnato taxes sucked tho very Ufeblood from tho nation. The count, who was a humano man, was meditating upon tho storm that he saw browing when tho downtrodden should vlso, turn and roud their op pressors. IIo was thluktng especially of tho Christmas season and that thou sands of families would go as hungry on that day as on tho other days of tho year. Suddonly ho heard n Bhot "Ah," ho said, "thcro Is poaching going on." Ito sat moodily regretting that the starring people about his ostatcs need ed his game, how they would persist In shooting 11 without leavo and how ho must punish them as lawbreakers, for ho was a maglstrnto as woll as a land ed proprietor. Presently a servant an nounced that ho was wanted below. IIo wont down and saw n youug man held by tho gamokecper and a groom, Tho count's llttlo daughter EIIbo wan standing looking on. Tho gamekeeper had In his hand a phoasant tho culprit had just killed. "Why do you shoot my blrda with out my leavo?" asked tho count. "Becnuso my wlfo nnd children are starving. I was thinking as I passed your estates that tomorrow will ba Ohrlstmns,. nnd I havo nothing but a llttlo black bread to glvo them for a Ohrlstmns dinner, whereas your woods aro full of gamo. Tho temptation was too much for mo." "I nm heartily sorry for you," re plied tho count, "but It Is my duty to sond you to prison. Besides, If I did not punish you within a fow days I should not havo n bird left on my estate." "Papa," cried Ellso, "will you give mo a Christmas gift?" "I havo a number for you, my daughter," replied tho count. "Not those. Ono I wish for now. Glvo mo this man'a forgiveness." Tho count, glad of an excuse for clemency, forgave tho poacher and told tho gamekeeper to lot him take away tho pheasant ho had Bhot As tho culprit turned away he looked very hard at Kllso, "Why do you ntaro thus at my daughter?" naked tho count "That I may fix her face 'on my mind. Tho day may come when a poor poacher may aid her." Something In tho words and the tono with which they wero spoken made tho count tremble. Several years passed. Tho Count Germain was a prlBonor In ono of thoso old piles that had been used for centuries to hold persons whom the kings nnd nobility of Franco chose to put out of their way. His daughter Ellso, who waB now Just stepping from childhood to womanhood, wont to ono of tho members of the revolu tionary commlttco who was at work with others on tho nation's business to ask for a permit to visit her father that evening to bid him adieu slnco ha was to dlo on tho gulllotlno In tho morning, "What is your namo?" nsked the rev olutionist "EHbo do Germain." Tho man started. Ho sat looking at her for n time, then said harshly: "You mean Cltlzencss Ellso Ger main." Then, turning to ono near him, ho said: "This is tho daughter of tho Count Gcrmnin. I am going to tako her to boo her fathor on condition that sho rovcalu tho hiding plnco of somo aris tocrats whoso heads wo want." "Good, citizen; I trust you will get a lot of them." Tho man took tho girl with him to tho prison, whoro ho was woll known, and Into her father's coll. Onco with in ho closed the door and said: "Madcmqlscllo, you onco gavo mo a present my liberty nnd a pheasant for my starving family for a Christmas dlnnor.

Tho man went away and called for tho governor of tho prison, to whom ho Bald: "I havo discovered a plot to rescuo tonight it prisoner hero, tho Count Germain. He must bo romoved nt onco. Call a flacro." A keeper wns sent out for n fiacre, wbllo tho revolutionist returned to tho count's cell, i "Como," ho said. Tho count nnd Ellso went with tho man, who hold tho count's arm, and after n fow minutes' wnlt within tho prison door wero hurried Into n vehi cle. Tho revolutionist gave his order In n whisper to tho cabman, who drovo off at a gallop. IIo stopped bo foro tho houso of tho revolutionist, whoro tho count was concealed for a day, and tho next night iu u suit of his preserver's clothes ho passed out, shouting, "Down with aristocrats!"
