THE MYSTERY OB' THE SPOTTED
COLLAIl.
He hid his hand upon her dark head,
but he did not look down into the
youthful and beautiful face raised to
ward his own. His fingers uncon
sciously crept into the girl's hair, a
trifle too strongly for an affectionate
gesture.
"What is it?" she asked, drawing
her head away quickly.
"A touch of rheumatism in my arm,"
he said intuitively. "You know it
gives me a twinge once in so often.
So you are 18 years old?"
"And you said that on this day I
was to come into a fortune."
"That is true How much do you
think it is?"
"Oh, perhaps $50,000."
He laughed. Then he got up and
began to walk the floor. She watched
him curiously. He was plainly agi
tated about something. After a while
he paused before her.
"Is it lost?" she asked.
"No, my child. It is the terrible re
sponsibility which is about to rest
upon your young shoulders that
makes me sad. Tomorrow morning
your lawyers will inform you that
you are one of the richest heiresses in
America."
"Uncle, don't make fun of me!" re
proachfully. "I am telling you the truth. To
. date Zudora has turned out something
-s- like twenty millions. It was the express
will of your father to have this kept
quiet so that you would not be both
ered with fortune hunters. Girl, you
will marry a duke or a prince. You
will become a famous beauty. But
my advice is this; that until my guard
ianship ceases you wilt be 21 then
you will say nothing to any one about
this fortune. It would make life un
bearable for us both."
"I'll gladly agree to that," she said
eagerly.
"Whenever you requires large sum
of money you will write the attorneys
and they will send it Think of the
notoriety, the busy reporters, the
broken-down nobles, indigent society
folk!"
She laughed at the picture. He was
right. If she desired peace and com
fort she must keep this fortune away
from the public eye.
"Zudora, there is one pleasant fancy
you must henceforth put entirely out
of your rflind."
"And what is that?"
"This' fancy for John Storm. For
all that you have inherited this vast
sum of money, you are still under my
guardianship for tbree years,"
What Zudora would have replied to
this half-veiled demand will never be
known. The bell rang, and shortly
affer that John Storm himself was
ushered intp the room. Hassanr All
nodded coldly, but the girl sprang to
greet net; lover, ine young roan,
smiled down at her. He made no ef
fort to hide the adoration in his eyes.
"How's the case going?" she asked.
"Pretty well. I think I shall win'
out against; Biinreith.
"He hate you."
"No doubt of It. He'd like nothing
better lhah to stick a knife in my
.back,"
H&ssam AH's eyes narrowed. An
Jdea hid come to him.

"Absolutely!'' With growing cold
ness. "In the first place, I am1 Zu
dora's guardian until she is 21; thcrc-forc"I-'do
not propose that slic shall
throw, herself away on an ordinary
lawyer."
"Sir," said Storm,, "I do not quite
like the tone you use." '
"Indeed! Young man, I am, not
only her guardian, but I am her flesh
and blood uncle; and I do not, pro
pose that she shall bungle her future
by a marriage to you."
Not a word about the millions. 'Zu
dora thought hard for a moment, and
concluded it might he wise to say
nothing to her lover until she had this
fortune under her hand. t
"What if I promise never to marry
any on? else?" she said.
Hassam Ali shrugged. "Come,
come; be sensible,, Until you both
get over this foolish idea, I must re
quest that Mr. Storm cease calling
here."
"Very well, sir," said Storm angrily.
"But I warn you that I shall sec Zu
dora outside as often as she is kind
enough to permit me. Good evening!"
Storm sent Zudora a reassuring smile
as he left the room.
Certainly he would not have smiled
had he seen Hassam Ali's mind at
that moment
"What in the world have you against
John?" cried Zudora bcwildcrcdly.
"I do not propose to sec you sup
port a fortune hunter," rather lamely.
"That's nonsense," she declared
with spirit. "John tells the truth
when he says he is able to take care
of me." '
"Still, I forbid it; and legally it ij
my right."
"But I love him. I would not trade
him for the greatest prince in Chris
tendom. And if I cannot marry him,
I'll marry no one."
"Well, well," said Hassam Ali, ap
parently relenting; "if you take such
a stand I'll compromise."
She gazed at him cageHy.
"Solve my next 20 cases and you
can rtiarry him; fail in any single case
and you must rerjoUnce him."
Zudora agreed instantly, even joy
ously.' For a long time she had been
seized with the desire to play the de
tective.; and her uncle had often ad
mitted that her powers of logical de
duction 'wero remarkable in a woman
who, philosophers claimed, was with
out the faculty of sustained reasoning.
"It is really a bargain?" with all the
confidence of youth.
"It is. If you are willing to risk
the dangers for the sake of a man
like, Storm, why, the choice is yours."
Then he left her.

John McCormack's Recital
Mr. John McCormnck, "the favorite of
three continents," heard tho audience at
tho Academy calling to htm last night
and nnswered in nciordance with his
lights, his abilities mid his previous con
dlllon of servitude. The last must bo
' taken to refer to tho operatic career In
tthlc ho nans opposite Mme. TetrtUzlni.
Nothing else can explain Mr. McCor
mnck. The call of the audience was loud
anil Insistent. So was the nnswor.
Mr. McCormack was, frankly, nnd .con
sidering the weather, excusably, in bnd
voice. In tho upper register he was
foggy, In the middle and loner he was
clean and clear. Tlicro Is not a trace
of bnrltono darkening In his voice. It
Is a pure and lovely tenor, grievously
mishandled Again nnd again the voice
broke, and Mr McCormack persisted In
Irvine head tonei with fatal effect. Pa
thos and sentiment cannot withstand a
breaking tone.
Tho songs Mr. McCormack sang ranged
from Mascagnl td Rachmaninoff, nnd In
cluded, perforce, n number of Irish bat
ads Tho "Romania" was sung In the
best tradition of operatic Italian tenors
a very bod tradition for anyone not
Italian The Gorman-Russian group
failed of effect In attempting n song
previously heard here In the perfect tones
of Alma Oluck, Mr. McCartnnck laid
himself open to prejudicial comparisons.
, The Irish oongs, Including as encores,
"I IJenr You Calling Me" nnd "Mother
Macliroe." wero Mr. McCormack's highest
mark. Tho last stanza of "SUIbberoen"
wan sung with tremendous force nnd
l3or; the delicacy In humor and senti
ment of tho other songs wns expressed
In fine Justness of spirit. Mr. McCor
mack pointed hli Jokes a little obviously;
hs put his sentiment on heavily. Hut he
scored his points, at any rate, nnd his
sciitlmorit provoked sentiment In his hear
eis. He moved 'thcrh neither to great
anguish nor to great Joy, but he moved
them.
Tho pity of it' Mr. McCormack's volco
Is far too good for what he tried last
night Wliut ho luccccded in doing was
appreciably less, because hn was. ns has
been -said, In dcplornble form, and be
cause he lacks, simply, technical con
trol of .his voice. Ho Is a world-favorite
Can ho not take tlmo now to become a
world-nrtlsf Tho cases have been
known before of men who have become
great singers, In tho popular acceptance
of tho term, first, and great artists after
ward. Gcraldlno Farrar stopped midway
In a great career to study with I.ltlt
T.chmann. Cannot Mr. McCormack stop
n. nhort time nnd find a teacher who will
make tho broken legato, tho strained
production of head tones, tho unpleasant
forcing of tho upper notes things of the
past for him? And ran ho not, above
all. find those who will teoch him that
what Is worth doing, In singing, and
what will eventually win the highest
popularity, Is the slncorc and the true
and the artistic thing?
JJonnld McIIeath, said to be a protege
of Fritz Krelsler, assisted Mr. McCdrmack
by playing a number of classic pieces
nnd two encores. Ho played with youthful
solicitude for accuracy, and at times, with
an engaging ennrm , j-awin ocnnciacr
was tho accompanist and a very good
one he was. His song, "The Cnvo," Bung
by Mr. McCormack, was well received.

REAL1HM GONE RIOT.
It happened during the production of
"The Gambler" the first Universal film
to be staged by the new Rex conlpany
under tho direction of Frank Lloyd. The
sceno calltd for a fight between Mr. Llovd
nnd George Larkln, his leading man. The
players rehearsed the action, nnd nt
length everything was ready. '
"Now." said Mr. Lloyd to Larkln, ns a
final bit of ndvlco, "when we como to
gether, George, step right Into It. Don't
bo afraid. Mix it up. Maka things lively.
Put some 'pep' Into things Don't be
afraid of hurting me. I can take care of
myself. AH right, now, camern. Actlont
Come on, George'"
And Gcorgo "came on." He came on
like a ,45-centlmeter Krupp before Ant

thcro slowlv rose a bump, n protuberance
which continued to grow In slzo with the
passing minutes. When It nnd nttnlncd
the size of a billiard ball, Lloyd called for
nn arnica nnd mustard compress.
Larkln stopped, when he had recovered
his breath, to inspect his bruised knuckles
nnd to look nt the. damage he had In
dicted upon Director Lloyd's clnsslc feat
ures. "You told me to mix It up," he pleaded
In self-defense. "I only followed your In
structions, Mr. I.lojd.
"Followed Instructions?" sputtered
Llovd. "Followed, did ou say? Hang
it. mnn. you worent following; you were
miles ahead of the procession. It ought
to he n good film, though," muted Llovd.
tenderly npplylng the compress to his
contusions, "but I doubt whether the

sceno of brutality as has here taken
place."
"THE CHRISTIAN" COMING.
The success of "The Spoilers," the
motlon-plcturo drama now on display
nt the Chestnut Street Opera House, has
become a serious Inconvenience to tho
management The Inconvenience arises
from the fnct that Manager J. J. Mc
Carthy arranged recently to produce "Tho
Christian" In motion pictures nt- the
Opera House following the run of "The
Spoilers " There Is no let-up In the de
mand for scats, and tho Opera House Is
crowded at each afternoon and evening
presentation. Under tho circumstances
it Is not possible to end the run nbruptly,
and yet William T. Rock, president of the
Vltagraph Company of America, Is In
sistent that "The Christian" be Installed
at the Opera House without further delay.
Mr. McCarthy would like to comply
with the demand, but ho cannot Inter
rupt tho run of the Alaska photodrama.
"Tho Christian," the scenario of which
was written by the author of tho novel,
Hall Calne, was produced with a big
company on the Isle of Man by the Vlta-graph-Llcbler
Company. The pictures
have been shown in New Tork, but Phil
adelphia is still to have a view of tho
pVoduction. Unless Mr. McCarthy will
bring the production to this city In a
short time he Is threatened w(th legal
nctlon, to be taken by Mr. Rock and his
associates, who nre Impatient of the de
lay. It is expected that Mr. McCarthy
will have to make a definite announce
ment In a few days, although he Is said
to have the advantage of a contract fa
vorable to a continuance of "The Spott
ers" production here.
