What would happen, I nekod myself, in breathlCEB hpprobonmon, when bo discovered bcr prepurutionB for flight? Suddooly thero yvga.u beavy full above, followed by a 'piercing scream, then hurried stops and anutbor ehriok. For ono instant I hesitated, then I bounded up tbo stops, und would have tbrown open tbo door but tbat it re slBtod my eiroitB it was locked with a Bpring lock. Tbo ecroaniB had boon hoard by others, and two Borvunta enmo hasten ing up. I could still hear Vaisya's voice, moaning softly, and hoar hor Btopa as sbo walked about tbo room. But sho mado no response to my appeals to opon tbo door. At last t seized a pitchor of heavy onrthonware that stood in the hall, and with ono eavago blow I sent tho door crushing inward. At tho Bumo moment Vaisya threw horsolf, faco downward, on a large divan at tho far side of the room, and lay thero in a convulsion of grief . At sight of h9r I breathed moro easily, for 1 had boon assailed by tho most torriblo fears regarding hor. Tho room was a lurge ono, sparsely furnished with a bod, a dressing-table, a fow chairs, and a long, old-fashioned mirror, besides tho divan. Almost in tho conter of tho Hoar lay, at full longtb, Naku Narayana. Ho bad fallen on bis side, and lay hudHlod up, with his bands so tightly clinched that his finger nailB made wounds in hia palms from which tho blood trickled. I turnod him over on his back. 1 hud teen shocked by bis appearance when 1 eaw him below, but ho was doubly horrible now, with his staring, sightless oyes, his set teotb, his purple lipd Btainod with bloody foam, and his blotched, discolored and parchment liko faco, on which was tho unmistakable Eoalof douth. I turned from him with u shudder, and falling on my knees by tho side of Vuieyn, I placed my arm about her and would havo lifted her up, but sho shook me off, and, with her bands covering hor faco, sho continued hor lamenta tions. Then it was 1 realized tbat some change had taken .Iace in her; hor form seemed to bavo grown thinner and smaller, and her hands hor handB I started to my feet with a wild ex clamation, and simultaneously eho raised her hotid and turned her un covered faco toward me. I recognized only a vague, shadowy rcBemblnnco to my Vaisya; tho coun tenance, that but a few moments before bad bloomed with youthful beauty, was now seared and seamed with the wrinkles of age; and sho tbat I loved my dream, my idol looked to be, as eho doubtless was, fully seventy years old.

"War is hell,'' said Sherman; but war has a fascination for the people; the moro so since we bavo but lately passed through times which huve stirred us deeply. And just as our warfare in 1898 ditrers materially from tho war of past generations, so tho picture of war as given in this now, spectacular revival of Bronsou Howard's "Shenandoah" ditrers materially from the original play; not in any departure from the story or tho text, but in a splendor of succeeaivo spectaclos. This spectacular presenta tion of "Shenandoah," which will bo produced at Tho Oliver, for only ono night, Thursday, September 2Ut, is pronounced by General Miles, Com mander of the United States Army, the linest war play he ever beheld. Over On next Friday evening, September 22nd, Ward and Sackett's comedians wili open a return engagement at the Oliver, presenting tho successful farce, "A Bachelor's Honeymoon." Tho en gagement will include a Saturday mati nee and cIobo with the evening perform ance on Saturday night. "A Bachel or's Honeymoon" was written by John Staploton of New York, and is a high cluss farce abounding in spirited fun and entirely devoid of offensivu or vul gar features. Its humor is dependent upon tho wit and satire of the dialogue and the intricacies of the plot. Messrs. Ward anJ Sackott have been identified with tho foremost attractions of the country, and are establishing an envi able reputation with their venture. 180,00') peoplo in Chicago nlono, throng ed McVicker's thoutro in thirteen weoks to enjoy its stirring realism.
