uiomont I board nothing more.
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.

THE OLIVER.
"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. It jb a
mammoth, historical picturo, with no
detail missing. This splendid revival
by Mr. Jacob Litt enjoyed moat aston
ishing prosperity in Boston and Now
York last spring, despite the fact that
in is original form, it had been seen in
both cities for many woeks. .
