"HER HUSBAND'S WIFE"
SCORES AT KEITH'S
Laura Hope Grows' Company as
Chief Attraction Makes Initial
Vaudeville Appearance
Another hit scored at Kelth'a this week.
To bo sure, that's not unusual, but the bill
Is. It In fnr nut of iho ordinary, to Ray
tho least; nnd Is ono that will bo re
membered. Just picture tho welcomed entry of a
legltlmato stage star Into tho temporary
vaudeville legions; then ndd a clas.'lc bal
let from Vienna, If not Potrograd, to
gether with good and sparkling comedy
sketchea, snappy musical and dancing num
bers, ever delightful to tho lovers of va
rieties surely such a show could not be
termed commonplace?
Tho chief nttrnctlon Inst night wns, of
course, tho Initial appearance In vaudevlllo
of Laura Hope Crews and company In "Her
Husbnnd'fl Wife ' Tho playlet wns arranged
especially from the comedy of A. k!. Thomas,
In which Mlq Crews Btnrrfd recently with
Henry Miller.
Vaudeville lovers welcomed Mlsa Crows
with open arms or at least with their
hands. Her nppenrance, costumes nnd not
ing wero refreshing. Tho playlet proved a
"treat "
Tho husband In the case Is not of tho
promissory noto variety. That Is, tho wlfo
not necessarily la tired of meeting him,
thinking about him or putting him off. In
Its condensed form the story. Is that of o
young wlfo who linnglnea sho'hna not long
to live nnd who, therefore, selects nn old
bosom friend to succeed her ns tho wlfo of
her huibnud.
Naturally, and womnnlllco, sho doc not
want her successor to bo as attractive ns
herself, and makes the selection accordingly
Tho unexpected happens when tho friend,
who at llrst l-i plain, harmless and of the
"broken-winged sparrow" variety, suddenly
blossoms forth Into a gushing bird of para
dise, charming nil with her beauty, chic
nnd vivacity.
Incidentally tho hunbnnd Is aware of his
wife's plan and mnken violent love to bis
chosen "next" nnd not without reason. As
a result the 'wife repents, through Jealousy
throws tho useless medicines Into tho dis
cards nnd gota health nnd happiness nt tho
samo tlmo. Tho second wlfe-to-bo marries
tho man she has loved all along, but with
whom Bho has quarreled.
Alberttna Has-ch, tho famous dancer. Is
starred In tho "Ballot Divertissement
Clnsslmio." Hor Interpretation of Liszt's
"Rhapsodic Ilongrolso" Is unusually good ;
In other dances sho Is assisted by tho
coryphees. Mnrlo Gambarclll, dancing to
a vnlno by Strauss, Is delightful. Several
Grieg selections nlso fenturo tho number.
Ben Dcoley and Lillian Steele scored In
"Tho Now Ucil Boy." As a blackfaco co
modlnn, Mr. Deeley'a antics remind ono
of Bort Wllllnmo. Ills dummy dnnclng Is
ono of tho funniest scones ot tho whole,
bill.
Other numbers Include an unusually good
Interpretation of a "dope" fiend nnd, other
recitations by Gcorgo M. Itosenor, who Is
making his first appearance In this city;
good musical numbers by tno Bolgcr Broth
ers, bnnjolats; "The Octopur," a Hying sen
sation by Fred nnd Lydle Weaver; an Im
promptu sketch by Mr. and Mrs. Kelso;
Williams and Segal nnd the Four Readings.
Tho pictures glvo a realistic view of tho
recent tcrrlllc explosion in Now York har
bor. In all, It's moro than woll worth wltllo.
F. It. G. F.
Girls From Kokomo Cross Keys
Lovers of variety should enjoy tho bill
for tho first three dny3 at tho Cross Keys
Theater. It la one of tho many strong
polnta of tho bill. From tho "Girls From
Kokomo," a tabloid musical comedy with
a rotlnuo of pretty maidens nnd catchy
songs galore, down tho bill hns enough ma
terial even for tho most fastidious.
Othera on tho bill Included Eschelle Bob
erts, slngor of character songs ; Seymour
Felix and Flossie IIopo, In songs nnd
dances; Bctts and Chldlnw, Silvia, In a
posing act; tho Flvo Ounbars and pictures
besides.
Hoarding School Girls Globe
The "Boarding School Girls." surrounded
by Tomle Allen, tho comedienne, led tho bill
nt tho Globe Theatre, last night In a tabloid,
but they Bharcd tho lion's share of ap
plauso with Kempton Greeno and Virginia
Honulngs, who gave a rattling sketch,
"When tho Clock Stopped."
Tho audience also welcomed "Five Beau
ties and n Spot," a second musical plcco,
which wns welcomed Indeed as nn addition
to a bill already good.
Other numbers Included Ruckcr nnd
Winifred In "The Chinaman nnd tho Coon,"
Douglas Flint and company In "Tho Mer
chant Prince," "Tho Cabby," a Bernard nnd
Myers comedy skit; Griltln and Lane, Sid
Baxter nnd company, Hob Wnrren and tho
Bramlnos.
Girl in the Moon Nixon Grand
She's something new. The "airl In tho
Moon," at Nixon's Grand, not only pro
vldes n delightful novelty. In which an
attractive young woman (lies out over the
heads of the nudlenco, but there are ut
most enough pretty girls In the cast to
put It In the category of muslcnl comedies.
Dave Both proved a strong favorite. Tho
local piano comedian delighted the audi
ence with his stunts, which were ns amus
ing as unexpected In many cases. Others
Include Moore, O'Brien nnd Mormack, co
medians; Nolan and Nolan, Jugglers; Mr.
and Mrs. Phillips and the Calls Brothers.

When nt lenBth we had deposited tho

found It Irrltatlns In the extreme to i liaio
to wait until my wind enmo back to mo
In order to put the question that wns burn

"Sevrance," said I. "who ts ho?
Revr.inco stood up. taking oft his coat ana

"All ncqualntnnco of mine, ho replied.
"A Russian by tho nnmo of Do Nctzo. Tlio

"Then whnt " ,
"Gordon. I don't know." ho returned
seriously. "Frankly. I have heard It said
that M do Netzo was a secret ajtcnt or tno
Russian Government, nnd this would seem
to confirm tho statement. It Is rank with
the stench ot Nihilism this outrnco. At
least. It Is so to my mind." ,,,,
1 bent closer to Ret my first Rood look nt
tho follow. Ho lay nt le npth a short but
slender man, whom I recognized Instantlj,
for him whom tho others had syPP"''?.'1
from tho houso. I knew him by his thick
Ish rod lips, by his hlRh. pallid brows, hy
tho neatly trimmed Vandyko beard, brown
but streaked with sliver Rray.
"Tint Is tho samo man," I affirmed.
"You'ro sure?" He seemed almost to
wish to doubt my Identification.
"Certain," I replied. "Why? Whoso was
tho house.
Sevrance smiled Inscrutably.
"You'll bo surprised."
I mado an Impatient movement.
It was Lady Herbert's," he Informed
mo.
I stnred blankly.
"Julia's?" I Rasped, Incredulous.
"Exactly ; Bho received tonight. Monsieur
do Netze. n cIobo friend of Captain von
Holzhorn. your rlvnl. hnppened to bo an
Invited Rtiest."
It seemed but nn instant later that I
caught myself up sharply, at the very mo
ment when my hend was dropping drowsily
forward to find a resting place on tho tablo
by my side.
"You'ro Just about done." ho announced
authoritatively. "Tako tho couch there; Do
Netzo must havo my bed, of courre."
Sovranco came over and with a firm hand
piloted mo toward a divan; I was too un
utterably weary to resist. I romember
fairly falling upon my back and lylms thero,
enveloped In delicious anticipation of rest.
"Now, you sleep," I heard Sevrance say.
"Yes " I agreed meekly. Sovrance seemed
to fado out of tho room. My eyes closed. I
sank slowly Into a placid gulf of slumber.
CHAI'THU VI.
The nrnmntla I'ernonno.
1ATR In tho nfternoon of tho following
J day I awoko voluntarily, physically
rested and with a head at least normally
clear
Sevrance was out of tha room. I sat
up on the side of the couch, yawning,
digging my fists Into my eyes, feeling un
commonly bedraggled, like a man who has
misspent a night. I longed for a bath and
a change of linen.
In tho semldarkness of tha studythat
Infernal fog still held, tho prospect from
the windows wns one of a dun-hued noth
IngnebH, horribly depressing I did not at
onco become conscious of another's pres
ence But after a while, as I arose and
made for tho buffet against tha opposite
wall, a volca greeted me.
"Monsieur Traill. I believe?"
I turned. The speaker sat In a large
armchair near the center table propped up
by pillows, from which his face stared out
like a death mask Bet with two black and
hard eyes, as brilliant and as cold as black
diamonds.
"Monsieur de Netzo?" I Inquired.
"He whom you rescued," he replied, with
a graceful movement of that white face.
"I have gratitude to oxpress to my bene
factor," ho continued, painfully precise.
I bowed my appreciation. For a second
or two there was silence. Thon, suddenly,
"Monsieur Sovrance," he told me, "Is ar
ranging for my removal to another place,
where you will not be exposed to the danger
that attends upon my every step and move
ment." "Is It as bad as that?"
"You saw for yourself," ha returned tha
obvious answer. Before I could turn tha
trend of the conversation he had com
manded me. "Talking wearies mo a trifle."
he said. "Monsieur Sevrance has been kind
enough to give me a digest of your adien.
ture last night. May I ask you to enlarge
upon It. with more particularity?"
"Oh, assuredly, you may" I sat down,
found a cigarette, and, somewhat comforted
by It, delivered myself of a resume of tha
affair.
De Netze listened with a strained atten
tlvenass, never onco removing those bead
like, glittering oyes from my own. When
I had concluded he put a pertinent question
or two: As to the appearance of his com
panions? Would I remember the man's
voice if I heard It again? Could I explain
the circumstance ot my detention In the
coupe, and why I had not been pistoled at
ray first change from a passive to an active
participant in the affair?
To the first two questions I had sufficiently
vague answers to make I had made no
particular note of the appearance of tho
men, and retained but a transient Impres
sion of the face of my antagonist in the
cab. Possibly I might, or might not, know
him by his voice. If I should hear it within
a short tune. Memories, fade quickly.
As to my detention, I had a vague theory
that, perhaps, I hnd not been forcibly eject
ed because the fellow feared that 1 might
ralso an alarm. Tn the bcRlnnlnn; ho hnd
plainly thought mo his compnnlon After
ward tho aboxe explanation applied ; or ho
may havo purposed slipping suddenly fr-m
tho vehicle nnd leaving mo with the cir
cumstantial evidence of tho wounded or
dead man to Identify me with the affair.
lie may have contemplated an Incontinent
butchery of the pair of us, the better to
be rid of nil witnesses something which
my unexpected nssault may have fore
stalled. As to tho revolver, I had that In
my pocket.
"Here It Is," I concluded, producing tho
weapon.
De Netzo examined It curiously. "Ah,
yes," ho nodded. "Now I bccln to under
stand. You observe " Ho swung his arm
out with remarkable quickness nnd pulled
tho trigger.
The hnmmer snapped ; thero was no ex
plosion. "Very fortunately for you, per1
Imps," ho Fold gravely, "one of tho car
tridges in Jammed In tho cylinder. Ah, yes
very fortunate, 1 should say."
"1 wonder what bernmo of the knife," I
speculated, "lie would have stuck mo hod
ho had It, I'm convinced, beforo he made
IiIb escape."
"He didn't have It." affirmed Do Netzo.
"How do you know?"
"I was stabbed before you entered the
rotipr, In nil likelihood Do you remember
passim; any one ns you descended the stairs
of Lady Herbert's?"
"It seems to me that I do," I assented
doubtfully. When I enmo to think of It.
thero was, In fact, a faint nnd Indistinct
memory of a figure which passed me, but
to which I then' rave no heed. But I could
not swear to tho fact.
"That In It." He was positive. "My
friends" his smile, as he said It, was In
describably evil and malevolent "wero
somewhat thourthtleFS In their haste. One
hnd forgotton something. Ho returned to
get It. That Ib how you became Involved.
It Is very clear."
"You should havo no difficulty," I ad
vanced, "In determining their Identity."
"I have no doubts ns to them at all."
"You know thcm7"
"Almost to a certnlnty."
"Then, I suppose you will nt onco lodge
Information with the police."
But ho lifted Up one flno and transparent
hand with a slight negative gesture "To
tho contrary."
"You will not 7"
"Seok revenge. Monsieur Trnlll? But yes,
and In my own way In my own good tlmo.
This Is not nn nffalr for your brutal and
headlong Kngllsh police, nor for tho cdlficn
tlon of tho British newspaper constituency.
On tho other hand, I promlao you that thoso
gentlemon will meet with appropriate fate
without tho news of tho matter reaching
the police courts."
Ho stnred contemplatively at the celling
for a whllo.
"They will bo In France by now." Ho
delivered nn expert opinion at length. "In
France yes." Ho nodded with nssuranco.
"That Is unless they feel sure of my com
plete annihilation nnd of your remaining
quiet which Is not concelvnblo under tho
clrcumstnnccs."
Somo time Inter tho door was thrown
unceremoniously open and three men en
tered. Sevrnncc's greeting was prompt.
"Well, Gordon I Up nnd fresh, I seo7"
"And ravonoUH," I nmended.
"Monsieur do Netze," ho continued, "you
aco I havo been successful, despite tho
fog."
"I nm deeply sensible of your kindness,"
snld tho Russian, ceremoniously. "But, for
tho fog, Is It not your native element?" ha
added, with a smile. And then I heard him
say: "Good morning. Captain. Fritz,
good morning."
Sevrnnce turned to the man who hnd
first entered tho room. Thoro was a twln
klo In h's eyes as he Introduced us:
vCnutnln von Holzborn, permit mo Mr.
Traill, of New York Captain von Holz
born, of tho German Rmbnssy."
You will understand a certain Inevitable
confusion to which I was a prey because
of this totally unexpected meeting with tho
mnn. Already 1 hnd formed an opinion of
him, based upon a thoroughly unwarranted
mentnl conception. I was now to revise
thl3 Impression to the final detail.
Ono thing I regard as certain and un
deniable he wob worthy of the highest
placo possible ot achievement. Ha was a
wonderful Bcoundrcl, a roguo of the high
est order of intelligence, a devil of Infinite
nmbitions, a man of splendid abilities
when hla duo Is rendered unto him.
But his memory Is hateful to ma to this
"as for the other, whom Do Netza had
called "Fritz." he was von Holzborn's valet.
I discovered a spare and active man of
medium atnturo. trnlned In the German
army ; with an eager but pinched face, and
a mouth llko a steel trap. He never volun
teered a wird never spoko until ad
dressed. , .
Von Holzborn Ravo me a civil word of
Krcetlnc. "I havo heard your name before,
Mr Traill," ho added pleasantly.
"From Sovrance?" I said, for tho mo
ment forgetting our position as rivals of
which, to bo sure, Holzborn was not yet
apprised.
"No although Mr Sevrance has spoken
of you Your name Is not Infrequently upon
tho lips of my fiancee Lady Herbert."
"Wo are old friends." I said as simply
ns I could. "I nm glad that she has not
forgotten me."
I know not In what manner I managed
to betray myself, but, for nn Instant, I waa
aware that his hard, cold eyes wero boring
Into my own, like twin gimlets. And then
ho turned brusquely away, addressly De
Netzo:
"You are able to move7
pe Netze turned up the palms of his
hands expressively.
"I must," he said laconically.
"We will watt until dusk," von Holzborn
"But tho fog " De Netza began to
argue, m .
Von Holzborn Interrupted, in a tona of
authority: "Be odlsed. I have made all
arrangements. It Is best."
I fancied that De Netze resented his atti
tude ; ho asserted himself oddly.
"You shall not loso because of your
courtesy," he said.
The Prussian nodded shortly.
"I have all the details through Mr.
Sevrance." he remarked a moment later.
"Have you anything to add?"
"Nothing of interest to you. But still
you may as well be put upon your guard.
I was drinking with Sept at the buffet, I
remember.
"We had two glasses of champagne, He
inquired It I had the Information safely,
and I told him yes. By accident some one
brushed rather heavily against me, and put
his elbow In my ribs; an envelope a per
sonal note of no Importance crackled In
my pocket."
Do Netze paused for breath. Sovrance
silently handed him a wineglass of port,
for which he podded thanks, and which he
sipped from time' to time during the ie
malnder of his stay.
"Sept," he continued, "raised his eye
brows significantly There, In your
pocket?' he asked. I told him no, carelessly.
A moment later we drained our glasses. 1
did not see him make any movement, but 1
recall that, for an Inbtant, my attention was
attracted to the farther room. Almost In
stantly I was conscious ot an overpowering;
falntness. I mentioned this, and Sept of
fered me his arm. I have forgotten what he
said. While we were walking toward the
door I lost consciousness and remember
nothing until I wakened In Mr. Sevranco's
bed."
He paused. The Prussian made no com
ment other than by a brief nod of his head.
"I fancied Sept trustworthy, too." Da
Netze added.
"You muit have been all right, as to ap
pearances, until you- reached the open air."
Holzborn said deliberately "No word to
the contrary has reached me. Von Beller
was with Sept hut left yu at the carriage
door and returned, I do sot think s"
"You will havo him watched," Inter
rupted De Netzo decidedly.
Von Holzborn bent forward with n mur
mured word of npology to Sevrance and
myself, and began to -confer In a low tone
with the Russian. Sevrance led mo to the
buffet, offering me port nnd biscuit.
"We dlno at the club In nn hour nnd &
half." he Bald. "I'm sorry there'a nothing
olso hero but this will stay you while you
wobIi nnd dress. I've sent to the Cnrleton
for your luggage, but I suppose 'I-shall have
to lend you n suit of my own evening
clothes. Can you struggle along with
lhom7"
"I'll endure cvon that humiliation," I
said, munching a Bent's, "for tho sake of
food. Mnn, I'm famished I"
Presently he led mo Into his dressing
room nnd laid out a change of linen and a
suit of evening clothes. "You can manager
he asked. "Because of this business fear
ing complications, you understand I gave
my man n holiday."
He sat on the edge of tho bed and puffed
at n cigarette, smiling fnlntly.
"1 can't say that I'm In love with cither
Do Netze or Von Holzborn," he remarked
quietly; "but, when thoy'ro thrown upon
my mercy In this way, why, I feci as 12
bound to do my best for them."
"Of course," I assented.
Do Netzo nnd tho Prus.'lan wero still
confabulating when we returned to the
study; tho man Fritz was standing by the
door. In prrclsely tho nsmo npot whero he
had halted upon entering tho room, mute
nnd stiff aB nny ramrod. Von Holzborn Im
mediately terminated his talk, however, and
arose from n chair which ho had drawn
to the Russian's side.
Sevrance put a match to tho wick of the
lamp on tho study table; It was time! al
ready the mist without was a dirty Btate
color, night would bo upon us In a twinkling.
"Wo Bhnll stnrt now," said the German,
"I have to thnnk you vory heartily for your
kindness and your thoughtfulness."
"Oh, thnt In nothing," my friend parried,
as embarrassed as an englishman always
Ib when you try to tell him thnt ho has
bohaved like a white man.
Do Netze. to my Infinite ourprleo, got up
without nssistancc. "And I, also " ha
began.
"Not another word!" Sevrance protested
uastlly. "Come, let's get along."
"You don't purposo coming with us?" sold
tho Russian.
