UNFAMILIAR OPERAS
ON NEXT WEEK'S BILL
Boston Nationnl Company to
Givo 8 Performances Will Re
vive "Andrea Chenier"
and "Iris"
With tho production of Giordano's
Vndrea Chenier" at tho Metropolitan on
Monday night the Boston-National Grand
Opera Company will inaugurate a week of
lyrlo drama, thus stealing a march on Its
rival, the New York Metropolitan organisa
tion, whoso local season Is still some time
distant Revivals of works seldom heard
hero and representations of more familiar
operas will constitute the programs. Doubt
less the social aspect of the first perform
ance will bo brilliant and added Impetus
will bo given tho interest In the Boston
Company because of Its Interesting and not-too-often
given programs.
A sumptuous revival of the Giordano
opera Is promised, with Lulsa Vlllanl. tho
dramatlo soprano, who created a good Im
pression In "La Tosca" last season: the
admirable Giovanni Zenatello, the tenor,
and George Baklanoff. the baritone. In tho
cast Roberto Moramonl will be "the con
ductor on this occasion, tho work being
given In Italian. In tho surrounding com
pnny will nppear many of the company's
leading nrtlsts.
For Tuesday evening another revival Is
slated. This Is Mascagnl's "Iris," with tho
little Japanese prima donna, -Tamakl Mlura,
in tho titular part She Is favorably re
called for her "Madam Butterfly" last sea
son. The opera, though received with en
thusiasm when presented In this city some
years ago, has faded from most repertories,
and It is to tho credit of Max Rablnoff,
tho impresario, that it la again to be sung.
Joss Mardones, the basso, and two new
singers. Jose Segua-Tallltn and Tovla Klt
tay, will bo Introduced In It
"The Love of Three Kings." flrst done
locally by the Metropolitan and later pro
duced by tho Boston organization, will
form Wednesday evening's bill. More than
300 letters demanding a repetition of the
traglo tale of the Middle Ages were re
ceived by tho management and. conse
quently, it will undergo revival, with Vll
lanl, SSenatetlo, Baklanoff and Mardones In
the chief parts.
At the Wednesday matinee will bo staged
the eternally popular "Cavallerla Rustl
cana," with Phyllis Peralta. a dramatic so
prano, and Rtcardo Martin, and Humper
dlnck's dellclously quaint "Hansel and
Gretel," with Mabel Rlegelman and Maggie
Teyte as tho "verloreno kinder."
Miss Teyte will make her flrst appear
ance In Philadelphia as Marguerite in
"Faust" Thursday night Rlccnrdo Martin
will bo Faust and Mardones tho Mephlsto.
Friday evening's program Is "La Boheme,"
with Miss Teyte, Gaudenzl, tho tcnt(r, as
Rodolfo, and Thomas Chalmers as Mar
cello. At the Saturday matinee "Madama
Butterfly" Is to be revived, with Mlura,
supported by Martin, and the farewell per
formance that night will be "Andrea
Chenier," with the same cast that sang it
Monday.

ALAIRE uttered a breathless exclamation i

turned away, but not beforo ho had noted
her sudden pallor, tho blanching of her lips.
This unexpected announcement dazed her '.
tt scattered her thoughts and robbed her of
words, but Just what her dominant emotion
was at tho moment she could not tell. Once
her flrst giddiness had passed, however,
once the truth had borne In upon her, she
found that she felt no keen anguish, and
certainly no Impulse to weep. Rather eho
experienced a vague horror, such as tho
death of an acquaintance or of a familiar
relative might evoke. Ed had been any
thing but a true husband, and her feeling
noaVas more for the memory of tho man
he had been, for the boy she had known and
loved, than for tho man whoso name she
bore.
So he was gone and, as Dongorio said, she
was free. It meant much. She realized
"dimly that in this one moment her whole
life had changed. She had never thought
of this way out of her embarrassments ; ahe
had been prepared. In fact for anything ex
cept this. Deadl It was deplorable, for
Ed was young. Once the flrst shoe!: had
passed away, she became conscious of a
deep pity for the man and a complete for
giveness for the misery ho had caused her,

in a strained voice Inquired:

your Intimate thought a No, It was an acci
dent, ordained by God. His end was the
result of his own folly, a gunshot wound
while he was drunk, I believe. Now -you
will understand why I said that I bore
tidings both good and evil, and why I, of
all people, should be the one to Impart
them."
Alatro turned questioning eyes upon him,
as if to fathom his meaning, and he an
swered her with his brilliant smile. Fall
ing to evoke a response, he went on;
"Ever since I heard of It I have repeated
over and over again, 'It la a miracle ; It is
the will of God.' Come, then, we know each
other so well that we may speak frankly.
Let us recognize In this only your deliver
ance and the certainty of that blessed hap
piness which Divine Providence offers us
both."
"Both?" she repeated, dully.
"Need I be plalnerT You know my heart
You have read me. You understand how I
have throttled my longings and remained
mute while all my being called to you."
Alalre withdrew a step, and her cheeks
colored with anger. "Generall" she ex
claimed, with some difficulty, "I am amazed?
This Is no tlme ' Her Indignation rose
with the sound of her own volco, (causing
her to stammer.
Taking advamage of her loss of words,
he hurried on. "You must pardon my Im
petuosity, but I am a man of tremendous
force, and my life moves swiftly, i am not
shackled by conventions they are leas than
nothing to me. If It seema to you that my
eagerness carries me away, remember that
war Is upon us and that affairs of moment
press me so that I am compelled to move
like the lightning, With, mo, senora, a day
Is a year. The past is gone, the present is
here, the future rushes forward to meet ua"
"Indeed, you forget yourself," she said
warmly. Then, changing her tone, "I, too,
must act qulekly. I mut go bask ataee."
"Ob, but I have told you only a part et
what I came to say,"
'Surely the rest can watt" Her v4ee
was .vibrant with contempt, "I'm la ine
condition to listen to anything else."
But Longorio Insisted "Walt I It Is kv

"Do you mean to say that war has been

"Practically."

..L'Ij,'w,l!L Th9 general was deeply In
earnest 'Tou havo no conception of the
chaos out there." He waved a com
prehensive gesture. "If the explosion has

That Is why I new to your. rldo. Battle

paused impressively. "We face the greatest
p.t.Tw vi niaiory.
men wny are you hero!" Alalre do-
.....ucu. lnis is no place for you at such
a moment"
Longorio come closer to her and his voice
trembled as ho said, "Angel of my soul,
my place Is at your side." Again she re-
coiieu, put with a fervor he had never
ua.cu uispiay no rushed on heedlessly. -I
have told you I harlcnn onlv n ... ,.
that for one smile from you I would be-
iiouu mysoir; mat for your favor I would
betray my fatherland; that for your kiss
I would face damnation. Well, I am here
at your aide. The deluge comes, but you
shall be unharmed." He would not permit
her to check him, crying, "Walt I You must
hear me through, senora, so that you may
comprehend fully why I am forced to speak
at this time. Out of this coming struggle
I shall emerge a heroic flgure. Now that
Mexico unites, she will triumph, and of all
her victorious sons tho name of Luis Lon
gorio will be sung tho loudest for upon
nlm more than upon any other depends the
republic's salvation. I do not boast I
merely state facts, for I have made all my
plans, and tomorrow I put them Into ef
fect That Is why I cannot wait to speak.
Tho struggle will be long, but you shall
be my guiding star In tho hour of dark
ness." Under other circumstances tho man's
magnificent egotism might havo provoked a
smile. And yet for all Its grandiloquence,
there was something In his speech that rang
hard and true. Unquestionably Longorio
was dangerous a real personality, and no
mere swaggering protonder. Alalre felt a
certain reluctant respect for him, and at
the same time a touch of chilling fear such
as she had hardly experienced before. She
faced him silently for a moment; then she
said'
"Am I to understand that you forbid me
to leave my own house T"
"For the time being, exactly,"
"WhatT Then I am your prisoner!"
'No, no !" He made a gesture of denial.
"How ridiculous! I merely keep you from
certain destruction. You cannot go by.
irain, uecauoo wo ranroaa nas suspended
publlo service, nor can you ride or drive.
I tell you, senora, the people are aroused.
For the moment you must accept my pro
tection, whether you wish to or not
"Tomorrow" Longorio smiled warmly,
meaningly "perhaps you will not be In
such haste to refuse It or to leave La
Ferla. Watt until yuu understand me bet
ter. Then But enough of this. You
are unstrung, you wish to be alone with
your thoughts, and what I have to say can
wait for a few hours. In the meantime,
may I beg the hospitality of your ranch for
myself and my men?"
Alalre acquiesced mechanically. Lon
gorio saluted her Angers In his customary
manner, and then, with a look eloquent of
things unsaid, he went out to see to tho
comfort of his command.
Alalre sank into the nearest chair, her
nerves quivering, her mind In a turmoil.
This Mexican was detestable, and he was
far from being the mere maker pf auda
ciously gallant speeches, the poetically fer
vent wooer of every pretty woman, she had
blindly supposed him. Ills was no sham
ardor; the man was hotly, horribly in
earnest There had been a glint of mad
ness In his eyes. And he actually seemed
to think that she shared his infatuation. It
was intolerable. Yet Longorio, she was
sure, had an abundance of discretion; he
would not dare to offer her violence. He
had pride, too; and In his way he was
something of a gentleman. So far, ahe
had avoided giving him offense. But If
once she made plain to him how utterly
loathsome to her was his pursuit she was
sure that he would cease to annoy her.

AMre was eoMient
Her thoughts turned from fcer tears to
the amasing reaHty e Her wMewheed.
Even yet she could net wholly eredH the
fact that Bd'a wasted life had eeme to an
end and that ahe was free to make the
most of her own. Alalre remembered her
husband now with mere tenderness, mere
charity, than she would nave believed pos
sible, and tt seemed to her pitiful that one
so blessed with opportunity should have
worked such ha.voo with himself and wHh
those near to him.
Doubtless It was all a part of some provi
dential scheme, too blind for her jto sojve.
Perhaps, Indeed, her own trials had been
designed to the end that her greater, truer
love, when It did come, would find her ripe,
responsive, ready. As for this Mexican
general, she would put him In his place.
Alalre was still walking the floor of her
chamber when Dolores entered, at dusk,
to say that supper was ready and that
General Longorio was watting.
"Ask him to excuse me." she told her
servant
But Longorio himself spoke from the
next room, saying: "Senora, I beg of you
to honor me. I have much of Importance
to say, and time presses. Control your
grief and give me the pleasure of your
company."
'After nn Instant's consideration Alalre
yielded, It was best to have the matter
over with, once for all.
CIIAPTEIt XXVI
Tim noon or fabadirb
ALAHin began tho mockery of playing
XXhoatess with extreme distaste, and as
the meal progressed she experienced a grow
ing uneasiness. Longorto's bearing had
changed since his arrival. He was still
extravagantly courteous, beautifully atten
tive; he maintained a flow of conversation
that relieved her of any effort, and yet ho
displayed a repressed axoltement that was
disturbing. In his eyes there was a gloat
ing look of possession hard to endure. De
spite her Icy formality he appeared to be
holding himself within the bounds of pro
priety only by an effort of will, and she was
not surprised when, at the conclusion of the
meal, ho cast restraint aside.
She did not let him go far with his woo
ing before warning him! "I won't listen to
you. You nre a man of taate; you must
realise how offensive this la."
"Let us not deceive each other," he In
sisted "We aro alone. Let ua be honest
Do not ask me to put faith In your grief.
I find my excuse In the extraordinary na
ture of this situation."
"Nothing can excuse Indelicacy," she an
swered evenly. "You transgress the com
monest rules of decency."
Hut he was Impatient "What sentiment 1
You did not love your husband. You were
for years his prisoner. Through the bars
of your prison I saw and loved you. Dlosl
Tho flrst sight of your face altered tho
current of my life. I saw heaven In your
eyes, nnd I havo dreamed of nothing else
ever since. Well, Providence opened the
doors and set you free; God gave heed to
my prayers and delivered you to me. Now
you pretend to grieve at your deliverance;
you ask me to respect the memory of your
Jailer 1 Decency? Delicacy? What are
they except artificialities, which vanish In
times of stress? Alexander the Great,
Caesar, Napoleon, Porflrlo Dial they were
strong, purposeful men; they lived as I
live. Senora, you dally with love-''
Alalre's face was white with anger as
she replied: "You cause me to JVrget that
you are my guest. Are you the man I con
sidered you or tho man you are reported
to bo?"
"Eh?"
"Are you the gentleman, the friend, you
pretended to be, or the vandal whom no
woman can irusir Tfou treat me as If you
were my Jailer. What do you mean? What
kind of a man are you to take advantage
of my bereavement?"
After a moment's consideration Longorio
began haltingly: "I don't know what kind
of man I am, for you have changed me so.
There was a time I I have done things
I have scorned all restraint, all laws except
those of my desires, and so, perhaps, I am
a vandal. Make sure of this, however I
shall not Injure you. Christ Is no more
sacred to me than you, my heart's treasure.
You accuse mo of Indelicacy because I lack
the strength to smother my admiration. I
adore you; my being dissolves, my veins
urn uuro wim longing ror you; I am mad
w,'th-tfl0 knowledge that you are mine.
Mad? Caramba! I am insane; my mind
totters ; I grope my way like a man blinded
by a dazzling light; I suffer agonies. But
see I I refuso to touch you. I am a giant
In my restraint The strength of heroes Is
mine, and I strangle my Impulses as they
are born, although the effort kills me."
"Senora, I await the moment of your
voluntary surrender. I wait for you." He
extended ills arms, and Alalre saw that
his olive features were distorted with emo
tion; that his hands, his whole thin, high
strung body were shaking uncontrollably.
She could summon no coherent words.
"You believed I was a hawk and would
seize you, eh?" he queried. "Is that why
you continue to shrink? Well, let me toll
you something. If my tongue will frame
the thoughts In my mind. My passion is
so deep and so sacred that I would not be
content with less than all of you. Your
lips would not satisfy mine unless they
were hot with love, your kisses wet with
desire. I must have you all, and so I
wait trembling. I say this so badly that
I doubt If you understand. Listen, then:
To possess you by force would be -well,
as If I sacked a cathedral of Its golden
Images and expected to gain heaven by
clutching the Madonna In my arms.

history ever possessed.
He paused, spent by the force ef his own
Intensity: It was plain that he expected
an Immediate surrender.
Alalre's lips parted In the faintest of
mocking smllea Ton have great confi

"Yes. I know myself as no one knows)
me."
"Why do you think I care for you?"
Longorlo's eyes opened. His expression
plainly showed that he could not Imagine,
any woman In her senses falling to adore
him. ,
"Don't you take much for granted?"
Alalre Insisted.
The Mexican shook his head. Then Ms
face lightened. "Ah! Now I see. Your
modesty forbids you to acknowledge your
love Is that It? Well. I know that yon
