Shannon, proved a big laugh attrac tion at Gayety theater. The extreme difference in stature of McAllister and Shannon is good for the first laugh and these two comedians spend the next two hours in keeping up the merriment.. - " Lillian Lester, Olga Woods, Lulu Moore, Nina Mack and Billie Pierce appear in songs and dances that please all classes. They are assisted by a chorus of real beauties. The show is jazzy and moves rap idly, holding the interest of the au dience from the asbestos to the chaser. The variety of the scenes . gave the artist an opportunity to de vise many and beautiful stage set tings. - ',: The costumes of the principals and chorus are elaborate, and the ward robe is one of the largest seen on the burlesque circuit this season. The production is based on a trial of burlesque to find the kind of en tertainment the public wants. With comedians such as McAllister and Shannon, there is no question that the verdict of the public will be favorable. Episcopal Minister Lays Down Rules v For Wedding Attire ' Chattanooga.

After the first shock of surprise, the Fortune Hunter quickly recovered himself; he nodded casually to Geof. fry Foster md turned again to Irenie Claver. ' ' She was Watching him with a touch of anxiety, "Was that someone you know ?" she asked. "Yes only an acquaintance, though." Irenie looked after Foster's im maculate figure, and there was a frown between her darkened brows. "I thought somehow I had seen him before; what is his name?" Foster WeofTry Foster. She echoed the name thoughtfully, then shrugged her shoulders, "I was mistaken. I suppose. Well, goodby and good luck. She got into the cab, and the For tune Hunter shut the door. "I shall hear from you in a week's time then? were her last words, The Fortune , Hunter nodded. "Yes." lie raised'his hat and turned mood ily away. Five thousand pounds; where in the wide world was lie to. find such a sum: he might just as well made it 3,000,000 while he was about it He walked out into the Strand and looked about for Foster.; it was rank bad luck that he should have turned up just at that moment; of course, he would take the first opportunity to tell Anne of the unfortunate meeting. But there was no sign of Foster any where, and the Fortune Hunter got onto a bus. When he had paid his fare, it left hint with but 5 shillings m the world and a return ticket to Somerton, and yet he had given his word of honor if it was true that there was such a thing as honor amongst thieves I that he would send Irenie Claver 5.000 in a week's time. He laughed drearily at the verv thought; he might as well have promised her the moon. . There was no train to Somerton for an hour, and it was 6 when he walked up the village street towards Cherry lodge. He was thankful to get back: it seemed an eternity since he had left that morning; he was longing to see Anne; with the'knowledge of her love he felt himself ready to fiKht the world; without her well, nothing mattered. . Rut Anne was in her room. Tommy met him in thehall. "You've srot back, then." lie sairl affably. "You'd better hurry up. din- ners at 7 tonight. Uncle Clem's go ing out to play that everlasting bridge." . . The Fortune Hunter went iir to his dressing room; he hurried through ms uressmg ana downstairs, hoping to find Anne alone, but the house seemed deserted. It was only when the cone sound ed that he heard her bedroom door open and her step on the stairs. He was out in the hall in a mo ment, his handsome face alight with eagerness,-but something in the, cool little smile wfth .which she, greeted him touched his heart like a cold hand. "You've got back, then?" she said. "Yes T. . ." the eager words died on his lips as Mr. Harding came down the stairs behind her. "Got back safely, John," he said breezily. "Well, and. how's London looking; About the same I rushed through my business and got back as soon as possible." Ah! I here s no place like the country, though when I was your age I thought Loudon and the big cities the only spots in the world worth a visit." . : ; The Fortune Hunter laughed cyn ically, his eyes on Anne's averted face. , "I've seen all the big cities I want to see, he said. "Ah yes! Of course! I forgot for the moment what a great travel er you've been. My dear, where's Tommy?" f Tommy came in from the garden at that moment, and they all went in to dinner. , Most of the conversation fell to Tommy and Mr. Harding. Anne was pale and. silent and it seemea to tne Fortune Hunter that she carefully avoided looking at him. . -" . He knew, although he tried to deny it to himself, that already the seeds of distrust and suspicion had been sown in her heart. . There was the affair of the photograph; the mis take he had made in playing the piano, and, proDaMy. a hundred and one other sma,t instances in wwen he .had unconsciously given himself away. ' ' ' Every nerve in his body felt like a wire stretched to snapping point. He could think of nothing put tne half-kindly, - half-mocking smile in Irenie Claver s eyes, and ner lasi words to him I shall hear from you in a ween s time, then.' , Five thousand pounnsi ine mm t 1 ' r f firm named Dtiore mm m ici'a t-,nn M r Hardine snoke to him, and he was too lost in his unhappy thought to reply till lommy ioucn ed him on the arm." . n,. vnu cone to sleep, jonnr There. was an amused grin on the boy's thin face, and tne roriunc Hunter came oacK io a of the nresenf with a start, flushing hotly. "I beg your . pardon, afraid I was dreaming. - He looked appealingly at Anne, but her eyes were downcast. , "I was saying." Mr. Harding re peated,' dryly, "that if you care to come with me tonight . I'm going down to Dr. Gilmore's if you care to come and have a game of bridge, I am sure they wuTbe delighted to see you." The Fortune Hunter's face hard ened. "Thanks thanks very much," he said.' "But I've been out all day,' I would rather stay with Anne." he looked at her appealingly, and" she laughed. r "As you like, of course," Mr. Hard ing said casually. "And I think, if you'll excuse me, my dear, I won't wait for sweets tonight." . There was an uncomfortable silence when he had gone,' then Tom my looked across at the Fortune Hunter and winked. - . "I don't, know that I want any sweets, either," he said, and rose from his chair. ,11 meant it kindly, but it seotued somehow to angrr Anne, for she turned on her brother sharply. "If you think I want to be left tone with John, you're mistaken. The servants wilt think it ridiculous, please stay." The Fortune Hunter echoed her word harshly. "Yes, please stay, Tommy." The boy looked from one to the Other and shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, well-if you really mean it." He sat down again. The rest of the meal passed in uncomfortable constraint, and as soon as it was over Tommy made his escape. "I don't know what the dickens Is the matter with everyone tonight." he growled as he limped out of the room and shut the door behind him. The Fortune Hunter was on h' feet instantly; he went round tn where Anne sat, and. stooping, took her hands, drawing her unwillingly to her feet. , "What have I 'done to be treated like this?" he asked hoarsely. "If you are trying to drive me mad . . ." He broke off suddenly, releasing her as someone tapped at the door and a maid entered. She looked at the Fortune Hunter. "If you please, sir, Mr. Foster would like to speak to you. Jle is in the study. He says that he will not keep you long. "Foster!" The Fortune Hunter echoed the name sharply, then he laugned, shrugged his shoulders, and without another look at Anne, walked out ot the room and across the hall. GeofTry Foster was standing near me stuuy nrc, smoking a cigaret. He looked thoroughly at home, and ne greeted the-Fortune Hunter with a scant nod. "Good evening." The Fortune Hunter walked into the room leaving the door wide open behind him. How do Wont vou come in the drawing room? Miss Harding is tliere. "Thanks, not My business is with you." The Fortune Hunter raised his eyebrows. Kcally how extremely interest ing.': t lie took a cigaret from a box on the table, and made a great business of lighting it. Foster watched him for a moment in silence, then he walked past him, shut the open door with a bang, and came back to the center of the room. There was a suppressed rage in his eyes, but his voice was even enough when he spoke. I saw you m tow n tins afternoon. The Fortune Hunter glanced up and smiled irritatingly. "My dear chap I I know that, I saw you. too.:' There was a little silence during which the two men looked steadily at one another, and then Foster said again. The other night you mentioned that you had been in San Francisco. I was there last spring, and like most visitors, out of curiosity I went down to the low quarters of the city to have a look at the gambling dens and such places." "Keally I 1 have been there my self several times," the Fortune Hunter said coolly. Foster went on without heeding the interruption: . "There was one man running a gambling place there who interested me very much partly perhaps, be cause he was not the usual type one comes across in such places, and 1 came to the conclusion that he was a gentleman down .on his luck per haps a man who had been torced to leave his own country to escape the police. - " ' "There was a woman witn mm, Foster went on. A handsome wom an who posed as his wife."
