21,7929 ~ | WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE "The Sheridan Dramatie lub, of which Tom Bilbeck, the nar- . trator, Maryella, the girl he mares for, and Jim Cooper, his. rival, are members, start a performance of Pymalion and Galatea at the Old Soldier's Home, but are interrupted by a fire. Druing the rehearsals Tom Bilbeck is accused by the husband of one of the ac- tors, Mr. Hemmingway, of be- ing in love with his wife. Riding away from the scene of the {ill-fated play in their costumes and overcoats, the group of players is held up by two escaped convicts, one of whom is captured by Bilbeck after a struggle. The captuured thief is tied to a chair at the Old Soldier's Home. Unable to leave the home as the car refuses to budge, the players must stay there, and Mr. Hemingway, hearing this over the phone, says he is coming right to the home--as he is suspicious of his wife and Bilbeck. Mean- while the Sheriff arrives. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He stopped in amazement 8s he saw our group, "You've got a lot of prisoners, ain't you?" he commented. "These aren't all prisoners," the colonel explained hastily. "There's only one." He led the way to Bill who, trus- sed up in his chair, had fallen asleep peacefully. The entire situation wag explain- od to the sheriff while he peeled off a layer or two of clothing and revealed himself as a small old man, with watery blue eyes and considerable foliage in front of his face. His heard was white, except where it was stained with tobacco-* juice. . *"It you don't mind," said the sheriff, "we won't go back until morning. It's storming so hard out now that I doubt if we could get through. I'll just put my horse in the stable." "You can't said the colonel. "The stable is burned up." A compromise was effected by quartering the horse in the cellar. As it happened there was an out- yét strangely near, as if it might be in the walls of the building. Was it a spirit rapping? I had never belived in such things, but then I had never had proof of any kind to convince me. Qne hair-raising supernatural inci- gill make a spiritualist of any- dden sound of some one strangling made me sit up in bed. This last was in the room, so I soon decided that it was my friend the eccentric snorer, who quite by accident had hit upon a new spe- cialty. -- But the thumpings and moan- ings continued. I threw off the covers and got out of btd, deter- mined t~ investigate. I had no matches--there were no pockets in my tights; put I felt my way to the door, barking my shins only once on an iron cot. Faintly came a cry for help. I made haste. I am a chivalrous fool; no one ever yells for assist- ance without getting it from me. I rush in plindly when even angels would pause to put on goloshes. I stumbled down the stairs. Came again the faitn ery. "Help!" It was voice. I peered in at the dor of the great living-room, which was faint- ly illuminated by a single oil-lamp on the table--the electric current was supplied only until one o'clock, I discovered later. The room was chill with the penetrating cold of a winter's mornnig when the fires Mrs. Hemmingway's glaring at one another.

"Good mornirLg, Mr. Hemming- way," greeted Jim Cooper, arriving in what I 'thought at first was an abreviated sleeping-garment, but which I' later discovered was his Greek tunic.
